Sinopse

The story revolves around the hunt for Paul Leonard, the man responsible for the death of Stanley Colton’s mother and father, Jack and Samantha Colton and his younger sister, Ashley. Jack was a detective as well as a hitman of an underground elite to stabilize the prison, as well as the country’s population by eliminating murderers and rapists. This elite was started by high court judge, Judge Roberts. Jack and the rest of the family are murdered by Paul Leonard. Paul Leonard was a cop also set up as a hitman by Judge Roberts, who took advantage of this elite, creating a mob army to racketeer and make money off of weapons and drug smuggling. Jack Colton was the last to try and eliminate Paul as he had already killed all the families in association with the elite. Roberts gave Paul the idea of who the families were that tried to eliminate them. Although this is not shown, it’s stated when Stanley meets up with Roberts. Stanley witnessed the death of his family by hiding underneath a table, not being noticed. 13 years later detective Frank Colton and Officer Michael Sharp investigate files of previous convicts and one young hitman, never to be caught or ever convicted, to help them on their mission to capture and kill Paul Leonard with the help of Judge Roberts. Frank realizes that Stanley is the one who’s never been caught and tries to trace him up. With the significant help Officer Michael Sharp, Frank Colton finds out about Stanley Colton’s whereabouts. The two other convicts are already found and they await Stan’s approval. Detective Colton approaches Stan without telling him that they are family. Stanley’s attitude and heavy metal appearance shows that he has another life going. He continually disapproves stating “there were some things in life I chose to put behind me.” Tracey, Stanley’s on and off girlfriend, who’s aware of his hitman and tough skills, encourages him to participate as she tells him that there’s nothing wrong in receiving a little help.

When a wealthy American heiress is found murdered during a glamorous rail journey to the French Riviera, suspicion falls on a wide circle of passengers, each carrying hidden motives and personal secrets. The case draws the attention of the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who is once again called upon to untangle a complex web of deception woven among the elite and privileged.

As Poirot investigates, he uncovers layers of hidden relationships, forged identities, and long-buried grievances that turn a seemingly straightforward crime into a deeply psychological puzzle.

Adventures of the Elderly...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles...

The Adventures of the Elderly Sherlock Holmes (Volume 6):
London 1930. Sherlock Holmes, now 76 years old, lives a solitary life in Baker Street. Much in his life has changed. The good old Mrs Hudson has long since passed away. Her successor is her niece Alice Miller. Together with her husband Eddy, she never fails to keep an eye on Holmes and supports him in every respect. It seems almost inevitable that Alice Miller gets drawn into one adventure or another, and with her bold yet warm-hearted manner, she plays no small part in the successful outcome of events.
The now retired Inspector Lestrade has been replaced by Inspector Wolfford. He maintains a respectful relationship with Holmes and holds the master detective in high regard.
However, the greatest change in Holmes's life is undoubtedly the absence of his friend and partner Dr Watson. He numbs the pain through persistent drug use. Holmes has become withdrawn, moody, depressed, indeed almost lethargic.
However, when after so many years since the Ripper murders, brutal killings of women begin again in London, Holmes's sensitivities can no longer be considered. Holmes thus resumes his active work as a detective. This pulls him out of his gloomy routine and does his soul good. Holmes wistfully remembers past days with Dr Watson, whose absence he still hasn't overcome. But a new case leads him directly to Dr Watson's trail. Can Holmes uncover the mystery surrounding his friend Watson, and can things ever return to how they were before?
For Holmes could certainly use all the support he can get. There's a stolen family treasure to find and recover. Easier said than done! Then the young caretaker is found dead in his chamber... And no sooner is one case closed than another corpse appears. The wife of a wealthy businessman is found dead in Richmond Park. It quickly becomes clear that only a left-handed person could have committed the murder. Unfortunately, there are three suspects to choose from. One of them is the riding instructor, with whom the deceased had been having a passionate affair. But is the lover automatically the murderer?
