  "The Yellow Face", one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the third tale from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine in 1893 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget.
  Sherlock Holmes, suffering from boredom due to a want of cases, returns home from a walk with Dr. Watson early in spring to find he has missed a visitor but that the caller has left his pipe behind. From it, Holmes deduces that he was disturbed of mind (because he forgot the pipe); that he valued it highly (because he had repaired, rather than replaced it, when it was broken); that he was muscular, left-handed, had excellent teeth, was careless in his habits and was well-off.

  🧵 Thread shop owner and textile expert Spoolia Threadgood is hosting a thread tasting event when the industry's most feared thread manufacturer representative—known for discontinuing popular colors—is found dead in her shop, surrounded by thousands of unwound spools of thread. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Spoolia notices the spools have been deliberately unwound in specific color sequences and the victim's discontinuation notices form a coded pattern. With her thread business tangled in suspicion and the sewing community in chaos, Spoolia must reel in the truth one strand at a time. Assisted by her thread enthusiasts club and the handsome textile chemist analyzing fiber compositions, Spoolia uncovers a scheme involving thread counterfeiting, stolen color formulas, and a plot to manipulate the thread market. From suspicious tensile strength variations that reveal inferior materials to dye lots that don't match factory records, every unwound spool tells a story. But when Spoolia discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging small thread companies by stealing their signature colors, she realizes the killer is protecting a textile tradition more valuable than any corporate profit. With the annual thread festival approaching and the real saboteur still spinning lies, Spoolia must wind through the deception before her own business gets permanently unraveled.

  Pax West was only four years old when he nearly killed another child. 
  Extensive physical and behavioral testing revealed a unique genetic anomaly that might explain his extreme responses to external threats. Specifically, his ventromedial prefrontal cortex – the part of the brain that governs emotions, morals, and ethics – was missing. Neurologists had never encountered such a condition. Most believed he wouldn't survive to adulthood. Some even suggested he should be locked up – or euthanized while there was still time. 
  But Dr. Alan Kepler, a leading neurologist working with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, had a different idea. 
  If Pax West could be tamed, he would become the perfect weapon – the very tip of the spear the CIA used to keep America safe. Could he be taught to override his impulses and develop an unwavering sense of duty to his country? 
  By eighteen, Pax became a Navy SEAL. By twenty-four, he was recruited by a clandestine arm of the CIA to become a Ghost – a man who didn’t exist. His honor and duty to his country were now hardwired into his very being. He lived to serve, finding purpose in his new moral compass: doing whatever it took to protect his country. 
  But what happens when a mission goes wrong, and Pax discovers that the very man he's been taking orders from for years has betrayed the nation he's sworn to protect? 
  Pax must do what he’s always done: find and neutralize the threat. But what if saving this enemy’s life is the only way to prevent World War III from erupting? 
  If you're a fan of authors like Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Brad Taylor, or Lee Child, you will enjoy this thrilling new series from the bestselling author of the Sam Reilly series, Christopher Cartwright.
