    The Adventure of Black Peter is a Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle. This tale is in the collection The Return of Sherlock Holmes, but was published originally in 1904 in the Strand Magazine and Collier's.Forest Row in the Weald is the scene of a harpoon murder, and a young police inspector, Stanley Hopkins, asks Holmes, whom he admires, for help. Holmes has already determined that it would take a great deal of strength and skill to run a man through with a harpoon and embed it in the wall behind him.Peter Carey, the 50-year-old victim and former master of the Sea Unicorn of Dundee, who lived with his wife and daughter, had a reputation for being violent. Carey did not sleep in the family house, but in a small cottage that he built some distance from the house, whose interior he had decorated to look like a sailor's cabin on a ship. This is where he was found harpooned. Hopkins could find no footprints or other physical evidence. However, a tobacco pouch made of sealskin and with the initials "P.C." was found at the scene, which was full of strong ship's tobacco. This is rather unusual, as Peter Carey—or "Black Peter" as people called him—seldom smoked. Indeed, Hopkins found no pipe in the cabin. Carey was found fully dressed, suggesting that he was expecting a visitor, and there was some rum laid out along with two dirty glasses...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

    The Treasures of Alexander the Great have intrigued people ever since he amassed them after his victory at Damascus. The lure of such vast amounts of wealth has taunted people for centuries. Many risked their lives to acquire them. Many gave their lives to protect them. 
    This story takes place in the twelfth century at the end of the Third Crusade, when European monarchs strove for empirical dominance. It was a time when life was brutal, men were courageous, and women were at the behest of these men’s desires. 
    Crusader Gold follows the fortunes and misfortunes of those who defended Alexander’s treasures, and the Crusaders who went to great lengths to seize them. Those French Knights intended to use their hoard to fund future humanitarian ventures across Europe. But as history has shown, the relocation of the treasures to places of safekeeping has led to the mysteries that have enshrouded them to this day. 
    When the young Alexandrian, Yasheed, breaks his oath to the protection of Alexander’s treasures, to spare his and his father’s life from the gallows, he sets a course that changes his own future as much as it does for his executioners. The knowledge Yasheed shares with the French General Pierre Favre and the French Knight Colonel Bertrand Resolu, sparks a thrilling adventure into the mysteries of hidden treasures, and the lengths men will take, to possess them. When the stakes were high enough, lives were expendable, and combat was brutal. 
    Crusader Gold is a story of courage, commitment, camaraderie and daring. 
    However, it is also a story about Alexander’s treasures and the spirit and determination of the men and women committed to their protection. 
    Following Boomerang Gold and Masquerade Gold, this is the final book in the “Gold” trilogy.

    "It's dark tonight I hope we aren't seen," a man said to his partner in crime. 
    "It's like the old days we climb in a window and pray not to get caught," said the thief who was known as the Chameleon to his partner the Cat as they stealthily walked through the garden of their mark. 
    "The room is the third window on the second story," said the Cat examining the building. The Chameleon tested the strength of a lattice leading to it going up the wall. 
    This should work I'm surprised people are so careless with security," the Chameleon said laughing. They climbed up the lattice trying not to be pricked by the thorns of the rose that climbed up it as well. 
    "The alarm is off or it should be, but I'll disable it," said the Chameleon. 
    He cut the alarm wire and jimmied the window till it opened. 
    They climbed in the room and looked about it. 
    "The safe is behind that painting," said the Chameleon pointing at the only picture in the room. 
    "Ok who will do the work you or me?" asked the Cat who was as skilled a cracksman as the Chameleon. 
    "It's my turn you did the last job," said the Chameleon who walked over to the picture removing it handing it to the Cat to put down. 
    The Chameleon put his ear to the safe and cracked the lock and opened the door removing the contents out of the safe putting it in a backpack on the Cat's back. 
    "Got it! Let's go." said the Chameleon.
