  The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and is the second and final appearance of Mycroft Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" fourteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories. The monotony of thick smog-shrouded London is broken by a sudden visit from Holmes' brother Mycroft. He has come about some missing, secret submarine plans. Seven of the ten pages—three are still missing—were found with Arthur Cadogan West's body. He was a young clerk in a government office at Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, whose body was found next to the Underground tracks near the Aldgate tube station, his head crushed. He had little money with him (although there appears to have been no robbery), theatre tickets, and curiously, no Underground ticket. The three missing pages by themselves could enable one of Britain's enemies to build a Bruce-Partington submarine.It seems clear that Cadogan West fell from a train and that he stole the plans, meaning to sell them, but the mystery is truly complex...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

  For readers of Elmore Leonard and George Pelecanos, a tense crime novel set in mob-filled Chicago during the 1920s Prohibition
  		 
  It’s 1920 and the start of Prohibition. Circumstances beyond his control find a young man, Huckabee Waller, involved in the death of a gangster in his hometown of New Orleans. Fearing repercussions from the gangster’s associates, Huck hops a northbound freight and heads for the promise of Chicago.
  		 
  Expecting to make an honest living, he’s surprised to find that he’s arrived at the epicenter of crime, corruption, and commerce. Unable to find legitimate work, he gets mixed up in bare-knuckle fights run by the notorious North Side Gang. Reviving his skills as a club fighter, Huck quickly becomes a crowd favorite and makes enough to get by. When it becomes apparent to him that the gang is also heavily involved in running illegal whiskey, a very profitable enterprise, he’s drawn into their world by the desire for more.
  		 
  As Huck starts running booze across the Canadian border for the North Side Gang and gets tangled up in Chicago’s taxi wars, tensions between them and the South Side Gang flare up, and soon he’s in the crosshairs of enforcer Al Capone. The smart thing to do would be to get out of Chicago — fast — that is if the life he wants to leave behind doesn’t kill him first.

  Colin Pearce has only been out of the hospital for a few weeks, recovering from the wounds of his last adventure. He’s enjoying the pleasant spring weather in Sedona and the blissful company of Jessica Tate. The two have become a couple, and Pearce believes he may have finally found someone who gets him. All is well in his world. 
  But in the background, a plan is underway to recruit him to fight his most deadly adversary yet.  
  In one of its most secretive projects ever, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency created an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle using an F-16 platform. The goal? Prove that a fighter powered by artificial intelligence could outfight a human-piloted aircraft. Code named “The Lone Wolf,” the AI-driven machine represents the highest technology DARPA has ever fielded. 
  And then it was stolen. 
  A mysterious cabal has taken the Lone Wolf and unleashed it on several countries in the Middle East. In its latest attack, the unmanned aircraft shot down an airliner with members of the Saudi Arabian royal family aboard. Now the Crown Prince of the country is being threatened. The Saudi government calls the U.S. for help with a very specific request. They don’t want U.S. funds or U.S. technology. Instead, they want a single U.S. person – Colin Pearce.  
  From the serenity of Sedona to the hard desert of Saudi Arabia, Colin Pearce will take to the skies in the most difficult battle of his life, fighting in the air against an adversary that makes no mistakes, and fighting on the ground against an organization that is utterly ruthless. The stakes couldn’t be higher or the dangers more real.  The legendary Pearce luck will be tested to the breaking point and only God knows if he’ll survive.
