Beschreibung

A mysterious message signals an international threat in this World War II thriller by an Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
A French refugee is washed up on the English coast. Feverish, delirious, he babbles incoherently to the men who find him. A single phrase, repeated: “Loftus, spell it backwards.” 
 
This discovery sparks an explosive reaction throughout Department Z, whose agents—including Bill Loftus—are fighting a desperate battle to uncover a Nazi scheme that threatens the very heart of British defense. 
 
After startling revelations of a conspiracy theory, a kidnapping plot, and a dangerous weapon, Department Z just may find themselves in over their heads this time . . .

Holmes tells him to do as the letter asks and leave a diary page, which Holmes deduces is connected to the Ku Klux Klan, on the garden sundial.

    🥔 Chef and comfort food restaurateur Tater Smith is catering the town's annual Harvest Homecoming Dinner when the dinner's wealthy sponsor—a notoriously difficult food critic—is found dead in her kitchen, face-down in a massive bowl of mashed potatoes. The police suspect a kitchen accident, but Tater notices the potatoes have been deliberately undercooked and the victim's review notes contain coded messages about restaurant sabotage. With her restaurant's reputation getting mashed and the culinary community in an uproar, Tater must whip through the evidence to save her business. Assisted by her kitchen crew and the handsome food scientist analyzing starch content, Tater uncovers a scheme involving potato substitution, dairy contamination, and a plot to undermine local restaurants. From suspicious lump patterns that reveal intentional undercooking to dairy proteins that don't match her recipe, every spoonful tells a story. But when Tater discovers the victim was systematically contaminating ingredients to force restaurants to fail health inspections, she realizes the killer is protecting food safety more comforting than any home-cooked meal. With the homecoming dinner approaching and the real saboteur still mashing lies, Tater must smooth out the truth before her own restaurant gets permanently smashed.

    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 9:
    Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
    There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
    The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.
