The Ring of Thoth is a tale of Fantasy, mystery, the supernatural and horror by the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Author Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Doyles were a prosperous Irish-Catholic family, who had a prominent position in the world of Art. Charles Altamont Doyle, Arthur's father, a chronic alcoholic, was the only member of his family, who apart from fathering a brilliant son, never accomplished anything of note. Charles had married Mary Foley, a vivacious and very well-educated young woman of seventeen. Mary had a passion for books and was a master storyteller. Her son Arthur wrote of his mother's gift of "sinking her voice to a horror-stricken whisper" when she reached the culminating point of a story. There was little money in the family and even less harmony on account of his father's excesses and erratic behavior After Arthur reached his ninth birthday, the wealthy members of the Doyle family offered to pay for his studies. He was in tears all the way to England, where for seven years he had to go to a Jesuit boarding school. It was during these difficult years at boarding school that Arthur realized he also had a talent for storytelling. He was often found, surrounded by a bevy of totally enraptured younger students, listening to the amazing stories he would make up to amuse them. Doyle died on July 7th, 1930, from heart disease. Besides the Sherlock Holmes stories, his other publications include non-fiction, plays, verse, memoirs, short stories, and several historical novels and supernatural and speculative fiction. The Lost World is perhaps the best known of his other fictional works. .Zum Buch

The police suspect a tragic weaving accident, but Loomis notices the tension has been deliberately sabotaged and the victim's guild notes contain coded messages about pattern theft. With her studio closed for investigation and the weaving community in knots, Loomis must thread her way through this complex tapestry of clues. Assisted by her weaving apprentices and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fiber stress points, Loomis uncovers a scheme involving stolen cultural patterns, unauthorized reproductions, and a plot to undermine traditional weavers. From suspicious tension inconsistencies that reveal intentional tampering to fiber blends that don't match cultural traditions, every thread in the warp and weft tells a story. But when Loomis discovers the victim was systematically appropriating indigenous weaving patterns for commercial profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more intricate than any tapestry. With the guild exhibition approaching and the real pattern thief still weaving deception, Loomis must shuttle through the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently tangled in the loom.Zum Buch
