  "Anti-Aging doesn't mean Anti-Dying..." 
   
  In the cutthroat world of biohacking, where the quest to reverse aging teeters on the edge of madness, the line between success and disaster is razor-thin. Stephen Kline, a powerful sponsor of the Rejuvenation Royale Tournament, is found dead in his cryotherapy chamber—a brutal murder that sends shockwaves through the elite competition. 
   
  As DCI Declan Walsh and his team delve into the high-stakes world of biohacking, they uncover a labyrinth of cutting-edge science, where competitors push the boundaries of biology and technology in their quest to cheat time. This is a realm where DNA is rewritten, bodies are optimized, and death is merely an obstacle to overcome—for those who can afford it. But beneath the glossy surface lies a dangerous game of ambition, betrayal, and lethal rivalries, where the price of success is a two million dollar prize, and the price of failure is everything. 
   
  With each new body, the stakes climb higher, revealing a killer who’s always one step ahead. In this deadly contest, Walsh must navigate a world where biohacked bodies and AI-driven schemes are weapons, and time is running out. But in this ruthless game, survival means outsmarting the competition—or becoming the next victim...

  "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" (1924) is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and one of the 12 stories collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.
  Sir James Damery comes to see Holmes and Watson about his illustrious client's problem (the client's identity is never revealed to the reader, although Watson finds out at the end of the story; it is heavily implied to be King Edward VII). General de Merville's young daughter Violet has fallen in love with the roguish and sadistic Austrian Baron Adelbert Gruner, who Damery and Holmes are convinced is a shameless philanderer and a murderer. The victim was his last wife, of whose murder he was acquitted owing to a legal technicality and a witness's untimely death. She met her end in the Splügen Pass. Holmes also finds out that the Baron has expensive tastes and is a collector and a recognised authority on Chinese pottery.

  As summer settles over Airlie Falls, Texas, baker Rosie Hart is gearing up for the upcoming Fourth of July celebrations. Orders are coming in fast, but when someone calls in an order for a mud cake, Rosie feels uneasy. After a series of confusing phone calls, she comes to the chilling conclusion that the term mud cake is in fact code for a hit—someone is ordering a murder! As the dough for her Apple Custard Brioche Bread rises, so does Rosie’s anxiety. This isn’t like any of the cases she’s solved before. This time she has to save someone, but first she has to discover exactly who she’s supposed to be saving—and, more importantly, who wants that person dead. With her commitment to the town’s week-long festivities, trying to control her nonagenarian friends who’ve just discovered the home-shopping network, determining if a long-lost child has indeed resurfaced, and not to mention an Elvis impersonator on every corner, Rosie’s wondering if she can really unmask the person with murderous intent before they take matters into their own hands.
