Fate Knocks at the Door - A...

Will Levington Comfort

A ship's cook who has wandered the East inherits his captain's fortune on a Spanish-American island, comes to New York, and finds he does not want it — and a painter, a mystic and a dying man complicate the giving of it away. Comfort served in the Spanish-American War and reported the fighting in the Philippines and the Russo-Japanese War before he was thirty, came home unable to stomach any of it, and turned to novels about how a man might live instead. The intensity is the point; there is nothing else quite like him. Fifty-five plates by painters including Walter Sickert and Vilhelm Hammershøi trace the sea, the music hall and the quiet rooms of a life at home, the world this novel's wanderer cannot settle into.

The Reigate Puzzle

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Reigate Squire, also known as "The Adventure of the Reigate Puzzle" or "The Adventure of the Reigate Squires", was one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Adventure of the Reigate Squires was first published in 1893. It is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Reigate Squire" twelfth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.The elder Cunningham's confidence is broken after his arrest and he tells all. It seems that William followed his two employers the night they broke into the Acton estate (Holmes has already deduced that it was they, in pursuit of documents supporting Mr. Acton's legal claim, which they did not find). William then proceeded to blackmail his employers – not realizing that it was dangerous to do such a thing to Alec – and they thought to use the recent burglary scare as a plausible way of getting rid of him. With a bit more attention paid to detail, they might very well have evaded all suspicion.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.
