  "The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger" (1927), one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.
  Holmes is visited by Mrs. Merrilow, a landlady from South Brixton who has an unusual lodger who never shows her face. She saw it once accidentally and it was hideously mutilated. This woman, formerly very quiet, has recently taken to cursing in the night, shouting "Murder, murder!" and "You cruel beast! You monster!" Also, her health has taken a turn for the worse, and she is wasting away. Mrs. Merrilow has brought this case to Holmes's attention as her tenant, Mrs. Ronder, will not involve the clergy or the police in something that she would like to say. She has told her landlady to mention Abbas Parva, knowing that Holmes would understand the reference.

Lieutenant Colonel Patrick "Mac" McLanahan of the original "Old Dog" flight crew plays a key role in the action-packed, harrowing operation.

  In the neon-drenched, rain-slicked metropolis of Aethelburg, loyalty is a lie and survival is a weapon. For Sergeant Virginia Jackson, an elite soldier with devastating sonic abilities, and her commander, the ruthless Praetor Dominic Grant, this truth is the cornerstone of their existence. By day, they are the unforgiving instruments of the oppressive Mandate. By night, they are the deepest assets of the Unseen Hand rebellion, playing a long, deadly game of espionage from the heart of the enemy's fortress. 
  Their precarious double life shatters when a new terror stalks the city's underbelly—a rogue entity of impossible power codenamed Chimera, a being that slaughters both Mandate soldiers and rebel cells with indiscriminate fury. Tasked by the Sovereign Director himself to hunt this monster in secret, Virginia and Dominic are thrust into a three-way war, caught between the iron fist of their masters and a fractured rebellion that now sees them as the enemy. 
  But the hunt for the Chimera uncovers a conspiracy far more terrifying than they ever imagined. It leads them to a forgotten laboratory, a place of scientific horror that holds the key to the Mandate's darkest secrets and a truth that will shatter Virginia's reality. The monster they are hunting is not just a weapon; it’s a ghost from her past. Now, to save a city that has branded them terrorists and rescue a sister she thought long dead, Virginia must unleash the full, terrifying extent of her power, even if it means becoming the very monster she was sent to destroy.
