  The world has been taken over by zombies. Small pockets of humanity remain. Cities lay in ruins. But none of this can stop Jake Trundle from solving the biggest case of his career because Jake Trundle is also a zombie. And somewhere deep within the recesses of his long dead brain flicker the embers of the last case he was working before the world turned to hell. And now he is compelled to solve it for all eternity, or at least until New Orleans falls down around his ears. He doesn't know why, he doesn't know how and he doesn't know much of anything when the smell of fresh meat is on the wind. But he's going to solve this case anyway. Even if it kills him all over again. Jake Trundle is a zombie. But he was a detective first. And nothing can take that away from him. Not even death.

  "An Ideal Husband" is a comedic play written by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1895. It is one of Wilde's society comedies, which satirize the manners and morals of Victorian society. The play explores themes of political and moral corruption, blackmail, and the complexities of maintaining an ideal public image. The plot revolves around Sir Robert Chiltern, a successful and morally upright politician, and his wife, Lady Gertrude Chiltern. Their seemingly perfect lives are threatened when a mysterious woman named Mrs. Cheveley enters the scene. Mrs. Cheveley possesses a letter that could ruin Sir Robert's political career, and she attempts to use this information to her advantage. 
   
  As the drama unfolds, Wilde introduces a cast of witty and eccentric characters, including Lord Arthur Goring, a close friend of Sir Robert, and Mabel Chiltern, Sir Robert's sister. Lord Goring, known for his dandyish charm and clever quips, becomes a central figure in the attempts to resolve the conflicts and unveil the truth behind Sir Robert's past. Throughout the play, Wilde explores the themes of morality and forgiveness, highlighting the contrast between public and private personas. The characters grapple with the societal expectations placed upon them, and the play humorously exposes the hypocrisies of the upper class while offering a reflection on the nature of human flaws. "An Ideal Husband" is celebrated for its sparkling dialogue, clever wit, and insightful observations about the moral fabric of society. Like many of Wilde's works, it showcases his mastery of satire and his ability to blend humor with social commentary. The play remains a popular and frequently performed piece in the canon of Wildean literature.

Ever wonder what happened to her and her true husband, Cyril Morton, in the years that followed. Well, ten years later she and Cyril reappear in 221B Baker Street with a strange tale of the theft of their bicycles -- hardly a crime worthy of the brilliant mind of the world's greatest detective.
