Beschreibung

A collection of three horror novels by Mark L'Estrange in one volume!
 
Dawn Of The Mummy: The small town of Clevedon has always been a place where residents look out for each other, and neighbors ensure a warm welcome is given to newcomers. But when an ancient, deadly power from thousands of years ago comes to life, can the people of the quaint village find a way to stop it, or will they succumb to the monster resurrected from its slumber?
 
Flesh Eaters: Thorndike is just like any other quaint Cornish village. Families have lived there for generations, and the village inn boasts the finest food and warmest welcome. Visitors and locals alike agree that old Thad Beanie makes the most delicious meat pies they have ever tasted, and like most chefs, Thad refuses to divulge the secret to his family recipe. The secret, which stretches back hundreds of years, is not how you cook the meat, but where the meat comes from.
 
Silver Bullet: Unsatisfied with the response from the local police force, Jenna Wilkinson arrives in the quaint market town of Huntly to search for her missing uncle, a Professor of Anthropology from a prestigious London university. Together with Detective Constable Alan Young, they set to uncover his disappearance. Unbeknownst to either of them, the town is in the grip of a powerful presence as old as time itself. As more victims follow, they'll have to put aside their beliefs and superstitions to save the town. But can they escape a fate worse than death?

Sherlock Holmes - Great Adventures

Sir Aarthur Conan Doyl

Sherlock Holmes Great Adventures 
 
The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet 
 
A banker, Mr. Alexander Holder of Streatham, makes a loan of £50,000 (equivalent to approximately £5.76 million in 2019) to a socially prominent client, who leaves a beryl coronet—one of the most valuable public possessions in existence—as collateral. Holder feels that he must not leave this rare and precious piece of jewellery in his personal safe at the bank, and so he takes it home with him to lock it up there. He is awakened in the night by a noise, enters his dressing room, and is horrified to see his son Arthur with the coronet in his hands, apparently trying to bend it. Holder's niece Mary comes at the sound of all the shouting and, seeing the damaged coronet, faints dead away. Three beryls are missing from it. In a panic, Mr. Holder travels to see Holmes, who agrees to take the case. 
 
The Adventure of the Copper Beeches          
 
Violet Hunter visits Holmes, asking whether she should accept a job as governess—a job with extraordinary conditions. She is enticed by the phenomenal salary which, as originally offered, is £100 a year, later increased to £120 when Miss Hunter balks at having to cut her long copper-coloured hair short (her previous position paid £48 a year). This is only one of many peculiar provisos to which she must agree. The employer, Jephro Rucastle, seems pleasant enough, yet Miss Hunter obviously has her suspicions.
