  "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot" ninth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.
  Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves at Poldhu in Cornwall one spring for the former's health, but the holiday ends with a bizarre event. Mr. Mortimer Tregennis, a local gentleman, and Mr. Roundhay, the local vicar, come to Holmes to report that Tregennis's two brothers have gone insane, and his sister has died. Tregennis had gone to visit them in their village ('Tredannick Wollas'), played whist with them, and then left. When he came back in the morning, he found them still sitting in their places at the table, the brothers, George and Owen, laughing and singing, and the sister, Brenda, dead. The housekeeper had discovered them in this state, and fainted. The vicar has not been to see them yet. Tregennis says that he remembers one brother looking through the window, and then he himself turned to see some "movement" outside. He declares that the horrific event is the work of the devil. Mortimer Tregennis was once estranged from his siblings by the matter of dividing the proceeds from the sale of the family business, but he insists that all was forgiven, although he still lives apart from them. The doctor who was summoned, reckoned that she had been dead for six hours. He also collapsed into a chair for a while after arriving.

  Motive Vs Opportunity - A Miss...

  At an intimate gathering of the Tuesday Night Club, solicitor Mr Petherick recounts the perplexing case of Simon Clode—a wealthy widower shattered by the loss of his granddaughter. Consumed by grief, Clode places his trust in sinister American spiritualists, the Spraggs, eventually rewriting his will: his nieces and nephew receive a modest legacy, while the rest goes to the Spraggs—his trusted mediums. 
  But at Clode’s deathbed signing, everything goes awry. The sealed will is opened, and it’s blank. The Spraggs had every opportunity to tamper with it, but no reason. They were already poised to inherit. His relatives had every motive to nullify the will, but lacked opportunity. In classic Christie fashion, Miss Marple, drawn in by the puzzle, reveals the elegant deception: a disappearing‑ink pen planted among the servants, allowing Clode himself to overwrite his will before death, ensuring his true heirs remain protected. 
  This short story is a masterclass in Christie’s brand of logic‑driven mystery: subtle clues, everyday objects turned weapons of intrigue, and a closed circle of suspects where nothing is as it seems.

  In The Wager Series, Eddie and his uncle, a former Chicago homicide detective, solve murders for the mob’s gambling boss. With the assistance of the mob’s underworld insight, Eddie and his uncle approach murder from a unique perspective.  
  “Much like the previous outings in this series, Farrell’s foray into the interconnected worlds of gambling and organized crime yields a story full of narrative crackle and well-drawn characters…” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review of Wager Smart).  
  Eddie’s own gambling problem generates a narrative that provides a cautionary view of gambling that the reader can take to the bank. The award winning series won’t guarantee a winning day at the windows, but it will guarantee a “high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled ride…” —Indies Today Book Reviews.
