Sinopse

The events of August 15th, 2018, leave the world stunned. An anomaly that engulfs an entire country leaving only death and silence in its wake. As the world struggles to comprehend the new disaster, chaos spreads across the globe, creating a discourse of conspiracy and delusion. Amidst this chaos, one journalist ventures on a quest to uncover the truth behind the catastrophe, armed with nothing but the internet and his wit.
 
***
 
The main character, Daniel Akwasi Aboagye, is an investigative journalist going through a life that has been unfulfilling—coming to terms with age and the failed expectations of greatness. He believes he has so much talent to offer, but he’s stuck in a world that overlooks him and passes him by. Either way, he presses on because failure is never an option. 
 
That is, until something extreme happens in a neighboring country—something that literally and figuratively infects the planet. 
 
In the midst of such an anomaly, Daniel’s urge to find the truth is the one thing that keeps him going. An overwhelming need that draws him to search for accuracy through the storm of false information flooding the world. Though this time, he can’t even physically travel to the location; all that’s available is his intellect and the internet.

New Adventures of Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Nora Godwin

The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 8:
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.
