British sleuth Patrick Dawlish is led on a merry chase through a maze of danger in this World War II mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author. Known to navigate any situation with an uncanny calm and confidence, Captain Patrick Dawlish has become the go-to man for not-so-official investigations. He’s been pulled from his regiment before with very little notice, so he’s not surprised when he’s ordered to embark on another top-secret assignment. Only this one stays top-secret for far too long . . . The mission is so important that Dawlish’s friends, Ted Beresford and Tim Jeremy, are also given leave to order to assist. But when the three men arrive at their destination in Salisbury, their meeting is unceremoniously canceled. Two of their contacts are killed, one is in the hospital, and one has disappeared. All Dawlish knows is that those involved have something to do with post-war reconstruction. Fumbling about in the dark, with assailants at every turn, it becomes all too clear that knowledge can be dangerous—and the thirst for knowledge even more deadly . . .
🏕️ The annual "Campfire Tales" weekend at Whispering Pines Campground is a beloved tradition for a close-knit group of friends. But their reunion turns deadly when the most unpopular member of the group—a man known for his cruel pranks and shady business deals—is found dead near the communal fire pit, a single, handcrafted marshmallow roasting stick protruding from his chest. The local sheriff writes it off as a tragic camping accident, but outdoor guide and nature expert Fern "Fernie" Woods knows a murder weapon when she sees one. When the evidence starts to point toward her as the culprit, Fernie must use her wilderness skills to track the real killer. With help from her loyal German Shepherd, Ranger, and a handsome wildlife photographer camping nearby, Fernie discovers that every one of her friends had a motive. From a stolen inheritance and a sabotaged business to a decades-old secret buried deeper than a tent stake, the peaceful campground holds dark secrets. As a storm rolls in, trapping everyone at the campsite, Fernie realizes the killer is still among them. Can she uncover the truth before the killer decides to extinguish another life?

"The Adventure of the Norwood Builder", one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the second tale from The Return of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1903 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are visited by "the unhappy John Hector McFarlane", a young lawyer from Blackheath who has been accused of murdering one of his clients, a builder called Jonas Oldacre. McFarlane explains to Holmes that Oldacre had come to his office only a day earlier and asked him to draw up his will in legal language. McFarlane saw, to his surprise, that Oldacre was making him the sole beneficiary and even heir to a considerable bequest, and McFarlane cannot imagine why Oldacre would do so. That business took McFarlane to Oldacre's house in Lower Norwood, where some documents had to be examined for legal purposes. They had been kept in the safe, where the murder allegedly took place. McFarlane left quite late and stayed at a local inn. He claims to have read about the murder in the newspaper the next morning on the train. The paper said quite clearly that the police were looking for him.
