  Edison's Conquest of Mars, by Garrett P. Serviss, is one of the many science fiction novels published in the nineteenth century. Although science fiction was not at the time thought of as a distinct literary genre, it was a very popular literary form, with almost every fiction magazine regularly publishing science fiction stories and novels. "Edison's Conquest of Mars" was published in 1898 as an unauthorized sequel to H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds, but did not achieve the fame of its predecessor. The book was endorsed by Thomas Edison, the hero of the book  -- though not by Wells.  (Summary from Wikipedia)

Despite Lupin's cunning tricks and disguises, Beautrelet gets closer and closer to the truth in what becomes a thrilling battle of intellect and wit.

  Sting Like a Butterfly - Book 1...

  Andreas and Elena moved into a spacious home they filled with treasures from their many travels, while Venky moved to a far smaller two bedroom condominium that he left mostly untended. This initiated a series of events at Angeles Crest University that not even the wildest of psychics could have predicted.  
  Chaos theory describes the butterfly effect — how small actions at one place can lead to unpredictable disturbances later on elsewhere. As a butterfly flaps its wings somewhere in the world, that imperceptible action initiates a cascading sequence of events that create a tornado far removed and an ocean away.  
  Venky's duplicity and machinations would lead to many consequences. A wide cast of characters — university professors, students, alumni and staff and their families, a venture capitalist, a detective, a medical examiner, and a Reiki practitioner — would have to deal with the fallout. 
  As for a major consequence of the butterfly effect, was it murder? Whodunnit?
