  On a rainy day, an earthquake strikes, followed by a tsunami warning for the Digha region. Chaos erupts as people rush to escape. Umla and her family flee in their car, taking a shortcut through a forest. The road is blocked by a fallen tree, and they're forced to continue on foot. Suddenly, the tsunami hits. In the panic and rising waters, Umla is separated from her family and trapped under a log. She's injured, bleeding, and alone in the forest. 
  As the tsunami waves return, she's swept away, suffering severe injuries, including the loss of her arms. She briefly regains consciousness in a destroyed house, only to realize her dire state—and that the severed hand beside her is her own. The final wave hits, and she is consumed completely by the water. 
  This haunting story highlights the terrifying power of natural disasters and the heartbreaking fragility of life in their path.

  London is in flux. The clop of the hansom cab has given way to the madness of the motorcar. And Sherlock Holmes, safe in the bee-loud glades of the Sussex downs, is lured back to London when a problem is posed to him by Dr. Watson and Watson's friend, Col. Higgins. Is the transformation of Eliza Doolittle from girl of the streets to duchess more than it seems? Is it really the work of Henry Higgins's phonetics lessons or has another girl been substituted for her, and why? Has the original girl been murdered? Even Eliza’s father can't say for sure. 
   
   
   
  Posing as a rich American gangster, Holmes infiltrates the Higgins household. He meets Freddy, a seemingly ubiquitous suitor, and the mysterious Baron Von Stettin, Bavarian attaché. He brushes up against a doctor whose potions can turn Eliza from a spitfire into a kitten. And he faces a deadly enemy who had been thought dead for twenty years. The world of Sherlock Holmes will never be the same.
