    The Adventure of the Lion’s Mane is one of Sherlock Holmes’s most unusual late-career cases—told entirely from Holmes’s own perspective after his retirement to the Sussex coast. When a local schoolmaster collapses on the beach, gasping the mysterious words “Lion’s Mane,” Holmes is drawn into a baffling investigation with no clear suspect, no human culprit, and clues that defy ordinary logic. As Holmes analyzes strange wounds, missing timelines, and the secret lives of seaside residents, he uncovers a deadly natural phenomenon as dangerous as any human adversary. Atmospheric, sharply observed, and rich with coastal tension, this story reveals Holmes’s brilliant deductive power in a rare solo narrative that showcases his mind at its most introspective and precise. Perfect for fans of classic mystery, detective fiction, and the legendary world of Sherlock Holmes.

    In England's stately manor houses, murder is not generally a topic for polite conversation. Mallowan Hall, home to Agatha Christie and her husband, Max, is the exception. And housekeeper Phyllida Bright delights in discussing gory plot details with her friend and employer . . . 
     
     
      
    The neighboring village of Listleigh has also become a hub of grisly goings-on, thanks to a Murder Fête organized to benefit a local orphanage. Members of The Detection Club—a group of celebrated authors such as G. K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Agatha herself—will congregate for charitable events, including a writing contest for aspiring authors. The winner gets an international publishing contract, and entrants have gathered for a cocktail party—managed by the inimitable Phyllida—when murder strikes too close even for her comfort. 
     
     
      
    It seems the victim imbibed a poisoned cocktail intended for Alastair Whittlesby, president of the local writers' club. The insufferable Whittlesby is thought to be a shoo-in for the prize, and ambition is certainly a worthy motive. But narrowing down these suspects could leave even Phyllida's favorite fictional detective, M. Poirot, twirling his mustache in frustration.

    “Ollie, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you not to scream.” 
    HER 
    We met by chance at a random dive bar. 
    Him - a striking figure in a tailored suit who radiates dominance. 
    Me - an awkward introvert, innocently stalking my father. 
    He seduced me. 
    Worshipped me. 
    Then, in a blink, he vanished, leaving no trace—not even a name or number. 
    HIM 
    I wasn’t supposed to see her again. 
    We were never meant to meet in the first place. 
    But here we are: 
    Her - half asleep after passing out at work. 
    Me - caught sneaking into her family business in the middle of the night. 
    She has no clue who I am—that I’ve just settled into a ruthless birthright position within the Italian mafia. Or that her family legacy plays a role in my illegal activities. But I have a feeling the dead body at my feet might bring her up to speed.
