  Sherlock Holmes and A Portrait...

  What if the dead could sit for their portrait? 
  London, 1889. When Mrs. Viola Marston brings three seemingly ordinary photographs to 221B Baker Street, she presents Sherlock Holmes with a case like no other. In each portrait—taken weeks apart, in different rooms, by a reputable studio—a veiled woman in mourning dress stands at the edge of the frame. No one present recalls seeing her. No one can explain how she appeared on the glass plates. And when Mrs. Marston’s brother, Felix Dane, recognises the spectral figure and whispers a name he has not spoken in years, he vanishes into the London fog. 
  Holmes and Watson are drawn into a web of deception that stretches from the elegant portrait studios of Regent Street to the fog-shrouded warehouses of Limehouse—and into the buried history of a woman destroyed by the very family now haunted by her image. What they uncover is not a ghost, but something far more unsettling: a grieving man of extraordinary skill who has turned the camera’s claim to truth into a weapon of conscience. 
  At stake is more than one man’s freedom. It is the question Holmes finds most difficult to resolve: what does justice look like when the law has no answer, and the guilty walk free? 
  A richly atmospheric mystery of photographic illusion, Victorian social injustice, and the riddle that only the great detective can solve—not with logic alone, but with something rarer still: moral reckoning.

  Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this decade the equality of the sexes is now law.  In real life it’s patchy.  Power refuses to ebb or cede.  In literary terms though women are again second to none with writing that strides confidently forward addressing the issues, the characters and the stories in unique and individual ways.
