    "The Naval Treaty", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty" 19th in a list of his 19 favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
    Dr. Watson receives a letter, which he then refers to Holmes, from an old schoolmate, now a Foreign Office employee from Woking who has had an important naval treaty stolen from his office. It disappeared while Mr. Percy Phelps had stepped out of his office momentarily late in the evening to see about some coffee that he had ordered. His office has two entrances, each joined by a stairway to a single landing. The commissionaire kept watch at the main entrance. There was no-one watching at the side entrance. Phelps also knew that his fiancée's brother was in town and that he might drop by. Phelps was alone in the office.

    When the country falls, the hunt begins. 
    The United States has shattered. After a devastating trade war, fewer than twenty states remain. Power is fractured. Infrastructure is crumbling. And for most, survival means trading bullets and barter. 
    Lonn Peters, once a top detective in Honolulu, now scrapes by as a streetwise bounty hunter in the ruins of Hilo—guarding shops from gang rule, haunted by the badge he left behind. But when a mysterious job pulls him to the mainland, Lonn stumbles into a world far more dangerous than he imagined. 
    A fellow investigator has vanished. The authorities want it buried. Lonn wants answers. 
    What he uncovers could rip apart the fragile alliances still holding America together—and put a target on his back bigger than anything he’s faced before. 
    Corruption runs deep. Truth is a weapon. And in a nation on the brink, trust can kill you. 
    Perfect for fans of gritty dystopian thrillers, Mark of the Triad delivers relentless action, dark intrigue, and a protagonist who refuses to quit—no matter the cost. Buckle up. This ride doesn’t slow down.
