Synopsis

The first three books in Malcolm Archibald's 'Detective Watters Mysteries', a series of crime mystery novels set in 19th century United Kingdom, now in one volume!
 
The Fireraisers: Dundee, Scotland, 1862. After the mill of businessman Matthew Beaumont burns down, Detective Sergeant George Watters is sent to investigate. When a man is found dead in the hold of a trade ship, George discovers a connection between Beaumont and foreign powers threatening the country. But what connects the enigmatic Beaumont to the murder and the strange events taking place in the Dundee shipyard?
 
The Atlantic Street Murder: Sergeant Watters and Detective Silver investigate a tangled mystery in London, involving the murder of a guardsman and the wife of an Austrian diplomat. With the help of the Irish woman Rowena, Watters trawls through the back streets of London, encounters female prize-fighters and suave cracksmen, and finds himself in the savage world of espionage. But can he find the meaning behind the mysterious words: ‘There is a storm from the east and the west’?
 
Murdered On The 13th: Dundee, 1860s. Sergeant George Watters and his team investigate the murder of a local banker, found dead on the 13th tee of a local golf course. Illicit prizefighters, merchants and prostitutes all seem to be connected to the murder, and even the toughest of Dundee are refusing to talk. In a case that stretches him to his limit, Watters' enquiries take him from the lowest brothels to the elite of Dundee society.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. As the ex-military owner of Sterling Security Solutions, Tatiana Sterling excels at handling dangerous situations.

    When Eleanor Kensington hires them to find her missing grandson, Tatiana and JD discover the case is far more sinister than a simple disappearance. 
     
    As they navigate this treacherous investigation, Tatiana finds herself increasingly drawn to JD's charm, strength, and uncanny abilities. Something different about him emerges—impossibly fast reflexes, superhuman strength, along with a troubling aversion to law enforcement. 
     
    The unlikely duo must work together to uncover the truth and confront powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets. 
     
    Can Tatiana trust JD with her business—and possibly her heart when he's clearly hiding his true nature? Or will his supernatural secret destroy everything they're building together?

    "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
    One wretched November night, Inspector Stanley Hopkins visits Holmes at 221B Baker Street to discuss the violent death of Willoughby Smith, secretary to aged invalid Professor Coram. Coram had dismissed his previous two secretaries. The murder happened at Yoxley Old Place near Chatham, Kent, with a sealing-wax knife of the professor's as the weapon. Hopkins can identify no motive for the killing, with Smith having no enemies or trouble in his past. Smith was found by Coram's maid, who recounts his last words as "The professor; it was she."

    When the Tuckers' next-door neighbor mentions someone rang their doorbell late the previous night, Sarah and Kenny Tucker check their home's security camera and discover something shocking: the doorbell ringer also visited their house and it wasn't a teenager playing a prank, but instead a terrified young woman with a shackle hanging from her right wrist. She anxiously pressed the doorbell again and again, glancing over her shoulder as if someone was coming for her, before giving up and taking off into the dark. 
     
     
     
    Almost overnight, she becomes known as The Girl on the Porch—and she's everywhere. There are updates on all the local networks, national coverage on CNN and Fox News, and the video goes viral on social media. Before long, everyone has seen the harrowing security camera footage. 
     
     
     
    Kenny and Sarah figure it's only a matter of time before someone recognizes the woman, but as the days pass and no one comes forward, odd things begin to transpire around the Tucker family: a man intensely watches them at a restaurant and then vanishes, fresh footprints appear in the garden next to their house where no one should have been, a neighbor's pet is viciously killed and mutilated, and a mysterious man has started following their daughter Natalie . . .
