Sinopse

In "Hunted Down: The Detective Stories of Charles Dickens," the luminary Dickens navigates the realm of crime and moral intricacies through a collection of gripping tales that reveal his profound understanding of human nature. Written in vivid prose marked by intricate characterizations and meticulous plotting, these stories highlight the early stages of the detective genre, predating the more famed works of Arthur Conan Doyle. Dickens employs a unique blend of suspense and social commentary, meticulously exploring the interplay between criminality and societal structures, a reflection of the Victorian era's anxieties and the burgeoning interest in forensic science. Charles Dickens, an iconic figure in English literature, immersed himself in the trials of the urban poor and the destitute, experiences that profoundly influenced his storytelling. Born into challenging circumstances, Dickens often confronted the darker aspects of society in his works. His fascination with the detective genre stemmed from both personal experiences as a court reporter and his encounters with law enforcement, equipping him with a keen insight into the human psyche and moral quandaries that pervade his narratives. Readers seeking an intelligent and engaging exploration of crime and morality will find "Hunted Down" to be an essential addition to their libraries. Dickens' stories not only entertain but also evoke critical reflections on justice and society, making this collection an enlightening and impactful reading experience.

THE DANCER FROM THE DANCE. In 1909 the entire world of dance changed forever when Les Ballets Russes, under the brilliant impresario, Serge Diaghilev, departed St. Petersburg and opened in Paris. They also made annual visits to the West End in London. Tragically, during their 1913 tour, two of their dancers are found murdered. Sherlock Holmes is brought into to find the murderer and prevent any more killings. The story adheres fairly closely to the incredible story of the reappearance of classical ballet in Western Europe and the introduction of modern interpretive dance. It is a tribute to the original story in the Canon, The Adventure of the Dancing Men.

When a Spanish priest learns of a skeptical organization’s PR stunt to replicate the Shroud of Turin, Graham Eliot becomes part of his plan to counteract the bad publicity with a new revelation about the Shroud’s authenticity. And the revelation relies on Graham secretly photographing the Shroud as well as the Sudarium of Oviedo—a relic believed to be a cloth wrapped around the head of Jesus as he died on the cross. 
On the day Graham is to begin, the project is canceled without explanation, and a video of him calling the Shroud a fake and accusing the church of hiding something appears online. To defend his reputation, Graham must rely on the help of his eccentric translator as well as the skeptic who posted the video. But the alliance is shattered when a death occurs during the skeptic’s annual convention in America—and Graham’s graduate student is the one suspected of the murder.
