  "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and is the second and final appearance of Mycroft Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" fourteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
  The monotony of thick smog-shrouded London is broken by a sudden visit from Holmes' brother Mycroft. He has come about some missing, secret submarine plans. Seven of the ten pages - three are still missing - were found with Arthur Cadogan West's body. He was a young clerk in a government office at Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, whose body was found next to the Underground tracks near the Aldgate tube station, his head crushed. He had little money with him (although there appears to have been no robbery), theatre tickets, and curiously, no Underground ticket. The three missing pages by themselves could enable one of Britain's enemies to build a Bruce-Partington submarine.

  Jean Valeur had his life mapped out—until his best friend destroyed it all. 
  Framed in a drug sting by the person he trusted most, promising graduate student Jean emerges from seven months at Rikers Island into a pandemic-ravaged New York City with nothing left but rage. His parents won't speak to him. His girlfriend has moved on. And Marcus, the friend who betrayed him, has vanished. 
  Working as a food delivery cyclist through the empty streets of 2020, Jean pedals between his shattered past and an uncertain future. But as the city erupts in protests over George Floyd's murder, he's forced to confront not just personal betrayal, but the larger injustices that have shaped his life as a young Black man in America. 
  Torn between family expectations and his thirst for revenge, Jean must choose: Will he be consumed by what was done to him, or find the strength to rebuild from the wreckage? 
  Set during the most turbulent year in recent memory, Delivered is a powerful debut about friendship, family, and the courage required to forgive—both others and yourself.

  Jose Moreno: 
  "Mondesir writes with the precision of a poet and the heart of a truth-teller."
