  A story of two siblings, their dead uncle, and a fish farm worth millions. 
  Cal is a smart ass ex-junkie with a chip on his shoulder and a bad back. When he learns that his estranged alcoholic uncle Johan has died, Cal flies to Prince Edward Island (PEI) to handle his estate. His sister Maggie tags along to keep things on track, and more importantly, to keep an eye on Cal. 
  As soon as they arrive, they learn about the man they chose to ignore for the better part of their lives: Johan’s multi-million dollar fish farm, his secret lover, his money-hungry business partner, and a potential conspiracy that could jeopardize everything he worked for. The further they dig, the stranger things become: missing prescription meds, X-rated home videos that expose more than a little skin, and a seemingly insane cash offer for Johan’s shares in the company.  
  Uncovering the truth behind Johan’s life leaves them questioning the nature of his death. Ultimately, both siblings must choose between walking away with their uncle’s fortune or risking everything to expose the truth.

  When an actor in a local play is attacked during a performance, Bruno must learn whether it was an accident, a crime of passion, or an assassination attempt with implications far beyond the small French village. 
   
  The town of Sarlat is staging a reenactment of its liberation from the British in the Hundred Years’ War when the play’s French hero, Brice Kerquelin, is stabbed and feared fatally wounded. Is it an unfortunate prop malfunction—or something more sinister? The stricken  
  man happens to be number two in the French intelligence service, in line for the top job. 
   
  Bruno is tasked with the safety of the victim’s daughters, Claire and Nadia, as well as their father’s old Silicon Valley buddies, ostensibly in town for a reunion. One friend from Taiwan, a tycoon in chip fabrication, soon goes missing, and Bruno suspects there may be a link  
  to the French government’s efforts to build a chip industry in Europe—something powerful forces in Russia and China are determined to scuttle. 
   
  Wading through a tangle of rivalries and secrets, Bruno begins to parse fact from fiction—while also becoming embroiled in some romantic complications, and, of course, finding time to put together some splendid meals.

  The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb, one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the ninth of the twelve stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in Strand Magazine in March 1892. Dr. Watson notes that this is one of only two cases which he personally brought to the attention of Sherlock Holmes.The story, set in 1889, mainly consists of a young London consultant hydraulic engineer, Mr. Victor Hatherley, recounting strange happenings of the night before, first to Dr. Watson, who dresses the stump where Mr. Hatherley's thumb has been cut off, and then to Sherlock Holmes himself.Hatherley had been visited in his office by a man who identified himself as Colonel Lysander Stark. He offered Hatherley a commission at a country house, to examine a hydraulic press used, as Stark explains, to compress fuller's earth into bricks. Stark warned Hatherley to keep the job confidential, offering him 50 guineas (£52 10s, an enormous sum at the time, worth over £4000 today). Hatherley felt compelled to take this work, despite his misgivings, as his business was newly established and he had very little work.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle's: "A Study in Scarlet", "Silver Blaze", "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Yellow Face", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Red-Headed League", A Case of Identity", "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", "The Five Orange Pips", "The Man with the Twisted Lip", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Speckled Band", "The Engineer's Thumb", "The Noble Bachelor", "The Beryl Coronet", "The Copper Beeches" and many more.
