  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.

  🧵 Quilt shop owner and master quilter Penny Patchwork is preparing for the annual Quilt Show when the town's most competitive quilter is found dead in her shop—wrapped in a mysterious quilt that doesn't match any known pattern. The police suspect natural causes, but Penny recognizes the quilt as a rare "code quilt" used by the Underground Railroad and notices the stitching contains a hidden message. With her shop under suspicion and the quilting community in turmoil, Penny must piece together an investigation as complex as a double wedding ring pattern. Assisted by her quilting bee friends and the handsome textile historian researching local quilt codes, Penny uncovers a scheme involving stolen antique quilts, fabric forgery, and a secret quilt appraisal scam. From suspicious thread choices that reveal modern tampering to block patterns that form a treasure map, every stitch tells a story. But when Penny discovers the victim was blackmailing fellow quilters about their family secrets hidden in heirloom quilts, she realizes the killer is protecting a legacy more valuable than any antique textile. With the quilt show just days away and the real culprit still stitching deception, Penny must unravel this patchwork of lies before her own pattern is permanently cut short.
