Sinopse

In gritty Glasgow, a police detective confronts criminals—as well as an enemy that lies within . . . In the seedy environs of 1980s Glasgow, Scotland, it takes guts to be a cop. DI Luc Kidston has guts—though he also has a weak spot thanks to his fear of heights. Now he must focus on finding a samurai sword–wielding vigilante—and untangling the case of one of his protégés, who’s been arrested for allegedly putting a woman into a coma. Solving both problems will lead Kidston to take some unorthodox steps, including hiring a forensic hypnotist. It will also bring him into conflict with his own colleagues and lead him to fight for his life in a terrifying showdown . . .

    Welcome to the world of Illusion! As you embark on this journey with Clara and Ethan, I invite you to immerse yourself in a tale that challenges the very fabric of reality and perception. In a time when the lines between truth and illusion blur, I wanted to explore what it means to seek the truth in a world filled with deceptions. 
    This novel was inspired by the questions we all grapple with: What is real? How do we discern truth in a society that often presents us with façades? Clara, our determined investigative journalist, and Ethan, the reclusive neuroscientist, embark on a quest that leads them to confront not only external forces but also the intricacies of their own minds. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of illusions, uncovering secrets that have been carefully hidden and exploring the ramifications of their discoveries. 
    As you read, I hope you will reflect on your own perceptions and consider the myriad ways in which we construct our realities. The themes of this book resonate deeply in our current world, where misinformation can spread like wildfire and the search for authenticity becomes ever more vital. 
    I am grateful for the opportunity to share this story with you, and I hope it inspires thought-provoking conversations and introspection long after you turn the final page. Thank you for joining me on this exploration of truth, illusion, and the complexities of the human experience.

    "The Final Problem" is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his detective character Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine under the title "The Adventure of the Final Problem" in December 1893. It appears in book form as part of the collection The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. This story, set in 1891, introduced Holmes's archenemy, the criminal mastermind Professor James Moriarty. Conan Doyle later ranked "The Final Problem" fourth on his personal list of the twelve best Holmes stories.
    Holmes arrives at Dr. John Watson's residence one evening in a somewhat agitated state and with grazed and bleeding knuckles. Much to Watson's surprise, he had apparently escaped three separate murder attempts that day after a visit from Professor Moriarty, who warned Holmes to withdraw from his pursuit of justice against him to avoid any regrettable outcome. First, just as he was turning a street corner, a cab suddenly rushed towards him and Holmes just managed to leap out of the way in time. Second, while Holmes was walking along the street, a brick fell from the roof of a house, just missing the detective. He then called the police to search the whole area but could not prove that it was anything other than an accident. Finally, on his way to Watson's house, he was attacked by a thug armed with a cosh. Holmes managed to overcome his assailant and handed him to the police but admitted that there was virtually no hope of proving that the man was in the employ of the criminal mastermind.
