    A Quiet Man with a Gun features Esther from Brazil. She was from a very poor home doing prostitution to survive and feed her parents. fortunately, she was caught up by an American business who changed her story from poverty to wealth. But due to her so much greed she killed her American husband thinking she could inherit his wealth. The deceased mother spent three years hunting the suspect until she was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison. 
    Esther was born in the shadows of Rio de Janeiro’s underbelly a place where innocence dies young and survival is the only virtue. Trapped in a life of prostitution to feed her sick parents and herself, she learned early how to wear a smile that hid hunger, and how to lie without blinking. 
    Then came the American quiet, rich, powerful. A man with secrets of his own and a strange kindness she didn’t expect. He took her away, out of the streets and into a mansion half a world away. She became his wife. A fairy tale? Maybe. But Esther never forgot where she came from or how fast everything could be taken away. Wealth changed her, but not enough. It wasn’t love that kept her in that house it was the money. And one day, she decided she wanted it all. With cold precision, she executed a plan: one bullet, no witnesses, no mistakes. But the man she killed had a mother a quiet woman with steel in her spine and grief sharper than a blade. For three years, she moved in silence, gathering evidence, watching, waiting. No badge. No backup. Just vengeance. When the truth cracked open, it wasn’t the police who found Esther it was the mother. And in the end, justice came not with a gun, but with a sentence: life behind bars. No mansion. No freedom. Just the weight of her choices. A Quiet Man with a Gun is a gritty, slow-burning noir thriller about lust, betrayal, and the long reach of justice. It’s a story of a woman who thought she could outsmart fate and a mother who proved otherwise.

    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 7:
    Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
    There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
    The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.
