  "The Valley of Fear" is the fourth and final novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his greatest creation: the world's first and finest consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.   
  In this adventure, Holmes receives an encoded message from an agent of Professor Moriarty that a man's life is in danger. When that man is subsequently murdered, Holmes insists to the authorities that Moriarty is not merely responsible for the murder, but is in fact a criminal mastermind. Moriarty, however - who has carefully constructed a benign public persona - appears to all the world to be an innocent man. With no actual evidence to prove his claims, Holmes' accusations fall on deaf ears.   
  Thus begins one of the most thrilling and twist-filled adventures from Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. John Watson as Holmes pursues the evil kingpin Professor Moriarity and attempts - at last - to bring him to justice.   
  "The Valley of Fear" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

  Newly widowed, Victoria Blanc built an empire in Louisiana, transforming “The Magnolia” from a struggling plantation to one envied throughout the South. Her wealth and privilege protected her from scorn and ridicule. Victoria operated her southern empire proudly and in defiance of the social mores and norms men in Louisiana tried to impose upon her. 
  One night, her reign would come to an end in violence and bloodshed at the hands of her rivals, bothered by Victoria’s presence and desire for change. Her murder marked not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter in her legacy. For nearly a century and a half, she waited for the right moment to return. 
  Her heirs, inheriting the land, vowed to never live in the home out of respect for her death. “The Magnolia” remained closed to the public for decades before the family decided to open it up for tours with one requirement: no one stay in the home overnight. One tour, unfortunately, had no choice. Their driver missing, blinding rains, flash floods, and violent winds would force them to take refuge in the home. They are quickly brought face to face with the horrors and violence of “The Magnolia.”

  The Flying Inn - A tale of...

  G K Chesterton

  Progressive Islam takes over England, and two men go on the run with a barrel of rum and a wheel of cheese, intent on keeping English pub life alive. Packed with songs, satire, and style as only Chesteron could write."Perhaps prophetical more so than prosaic (and not at all in the sense Chesterton intended it) The Flying Inn is one of those books which should rank among the classics" - The Distributist Review"Chesterton said that the book he most enjoyed writing was The Flying Inn. He enjoyed creating the comical scenes as much as the polemical ones, the drinking songs as much as the bitter satire and the hard-edged debate. As the hero of the novel says, “It’s as innocent as Heaven and as hot as hell.” The novel is a vehicle for Chesterton to tee off against corrupt and ineffectual politicians who had not merely lost touch with common citizens but were actively taking away their basic rights and freedoms. Besides politicians, he also makes room on his skewer for journalists, textual critics, health gurus, idiot socialists and capitalist toadies. [...] the drinking songs in The Flying Inn [are] "true Temperance songs: temperance is about moderation not abstinence. Self-restraint and self-control are acts of freedom. Prohibition is not. Though drinking may be a caprice [...] it is a caprice that cannot be forbidden to a citizen, but can be forbidden to a slave.”And what are these drinking songs that came under such fire? Simply some of the dearest and most delightful poems that Chesterton or anyone else has ever written: The Song of Right and Wrong, The Song of the Dog Quoodle, Wine and Water, The Logical Vegetarian, The Good Rich Man, The Saracen’s Head, and The Rolling English Road."
