  "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.

  Sabbath of the Fox-Devils

  Sam Richard

  After learning about the existence of a powerful grimoire through a cartoon, 12-year-old Joe is determined to find it and change his lot in life. But in doing so, he'll also uncover a local priest's dark secret and how it may be connected to Joe's brother abruptly leaving town five years ago. 
  Part homage to the small-creature horror films of the 80s (Ghoulies, Gremlins, The Gate) and part Splatterpunk take on a Goosebumps book, Sabbath of the Fox-Devils is a weird, diabolical coming-of-age horror story of self-liberation in an oppressive religious environment set during the Satanic Panic. 
   
  Prepare your soul to revel in the darkness. 
   
  "Light the black candles and invert the cross as Sam Richard conjures a coming-of-age story of Satanic panic, creature carnage, and blasphemous terror!" - Ryan Harding (Genital Grinder, Header 3) 
   
  "It's been said good writing comes from opening a vein and bleeding on the page. Anyone who’s read Sam Richard knows his writing epitomizes this visceral process. Sabbath of the Fox Devils, both a wistful love letter to schlocky horror and a sentimental character study, is no different. It's a confidently-written, refined novella without sacrificing the rawness which made Sam's previous works so memorable. Fans of 80s horror, Scooby Doo, and punk rock will find lots to love here." - Lucas Mangum (Saint Sadist, Gods of the Dark Web) 
   
  “Sabbath of the Fox-Devils is coming-of-age gone wrong, a celebration of the Satan-soaked stories that hooked us all on horror and a satire of the people who hate them. I bet my soul you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.” - Katy Michelle Quinn (Girl in the Walls, Winnie)
