Synopsis

Arthur Morrison's "Ultimate Collection: 80+ Mysteries, Detective Stories & Supernatural Tales" serves as a comprehensive repository of his seminal contributions to the genre of detective fiction and supernatural narratives. This anthology encapsulates a diverse array of stories characterized by Morrison's sharp prose, meticulous attention to detail, and an often eerie atmosphere that reflects the societal anxieties of the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. The literary style is marked by a potent blend of realism and gothic elements, showcasing Morrison's innovative approach to narrative structure and character development, setting a precedent for subsequent generations of writers in the genre. Morrison, a contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle, emerged as a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, influenced by his background in journalism and his keen observation of London's urban landscapes. His experiences of life among the working class and the criminal underbelly of the city infused his writings with authenticity and social commentary. This collection not only highlights his detective stories but also delves into darker themes of the supernatural, revealing his versatility as a storyteller. I highly recommend this anthology to both aficionados of classic crime fiction and new readers alike. Morrison's masterful command of suspense, coupled with his ability to craft intricate plotlines, ensures that each tale offers a thrilling experience. Whether you are drawn to the meticulous puzzle-solving of his detectives or the chilling suspense of his ghost stories, this collection stands as a landmark achievement in the evolution of mystery literature.

    The Monkeewrench crew returns in a twisty, heart-stopping new thriller. 
      
    The peaceful Christmas season in Minneapolis is shattered when two friends, Chuck Spencer and Wally Luntz, scheduled to meet in person for the first time, are murdered on the same night, two hours and several miles apart, dramatically concluding winter vacation for homicide detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth. 
      
    An hour north of Minneapolis, Lydia Ascher comes home to find two dead men in her basement. When Leo and Gino discover her connection to their current cases, they suspect that she is a target, too. The same day, an elderly, terminally ill man is kidnapped from his home, an Alzheimer’s patient goes missing from his care facility, and a baffling link among all the crimes emerges. 
      
    This series of inexplicable events sends the detectives sixty years into the past to search for answers—and straight to Grace MacBride’s Monkeewrench, a group of eccentric computer geniuses who devote their time and resources to helping the cops solve the unsolvable. What they find is an unimaginable horror—a dormant Armageddon that might be activated at any moment unless Grace and her partners Annie, Roadrunner, and Harley Davidson, along with Leo and Gino, can find a way to stop it. 
      
    “Entertaining … The Monkeewrench gang need all their various skills to track other descendants, protect Lydia, uncover a clever conspiracy, and help end the carnage in this successful mix of detection and thriller.”—Publishers Weekly

    Five new pastiche stories of the world's greatest detective. These stories are shorter than the other novellas in the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries set and were published earlier in either the MX Books or Belanger Books anthologies of Sherlock Holmes stories (Edited by David Marcum). 'The Singular Tragedy of the Atkinson Brothers at Trincomalee' is one of the unpublished cases we hear about in The Canon. The story Takes Holmes and Watson to the tropical island of Ceylon on behalf of the Foreign Office to investigate the murder of one of the Atkinson brothers and sends Holmes into a nasty web of deceit, murder, and perversion in the heat of the colonies. In 'The Barrel of Lagavulin' the adventures of Sherlock Holmes meet up with characters from the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and we learn what happens long after the horrendous events recorded in 'The Cask of Amontillado.' Did you ever wonder what happened to the characters from the Vermissa Valley that you read about in 'The Valley of Fear?" In 'The Fear of Retribution' you will find out, and it is not pleasant. 'The Adventure of the Winchester Heart-Breaker' takes Holmes and Watson back to the Copper Beeches and to what happened to the nasty child who loved to go 'smack, smack, smack' on the cockroaches. 'The Adventure of the Tea-Stained Diamonds' is a completely new Sherlock Holmes mystery in which Holmes needs to stop a cycle of revenge killings that began years earlier in the tea gardens of Darjeeling. If you love the stories of Sherlock Holmes, these five new mysteries will appeal to you
