  A Study in Scarlet, a short novel published in 1887, was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story. At the beginning of the book, Dr. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the scene of a murder. The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer's history. The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case.

  A multimillion-dollar bounty brings out every vigilante in New York . . . “Chilling psychological suspense that will leave you at the edge of your seat.” —Alex Kava, New York Times–bestselling author of the Maggie O’Dell series   Tourism in New York City is under siege. Visitors to the Big Apple have become targets of a pair of vengeful twins bent on exacting punishment on total strangers to right the wrongs perpetrated against them in a hellhole they called home. Their audacious killing spree leaves men and women of all ages and ethnicities brutally murdered then scalped, their lifeless forms displayed in macabre fashion at landmarks throughout the metropolis.   NYPD Homicide Commander John W. Driscoll, along with his dedicated team of Sgt. Margaret Aligante and Det. Cedric Thomlinson, is determined to bring the pair to justice—as is a despicable grieving father whose idea of justice is at odds with morality itself. By offering a three million dollar bounty, not a cent of which he plans to part with, he’s turned the city into a get-rich-quick circus, with an overzealous mayor acting as ringmaster to please Mr. Moneypockets any way he can.   And Driscoll—who’s been assigned the case just hours after he buried his wife—must put his grief on hold and focus on shutting down the twins’ reign of terror by apprehending them before their denouement is dictated by an unscrupulous and unforgiving interloper . . .
