Summary

The London Medicine is the sequel to Funny Little Games in which celebrity composer Michael Maybrick, well-connected in royal and masonic circles, was exposed at the notorious Whitechapel serial killer JACK THE RIPPER, revealed by deciphering his self-styled funny little games.

The personal vendetta against prostitutes was over and Michael Maybrick was free to continue furthering his ambitions for fame and fortune, but a persistent problem had yet to be resolved. There remained a nagging belief that his brother James suspected his nefarious activities, as perhaps did his wife Florence, despised by Michael as an adulteress.

There could only be one solution. The London Medicine.
Available since: 10/31/2023.

    This year marks the tenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, an occasion that is sure to be observed around the world. But among the memorials, political speeches, and news editorials, the most pressing consideration-and often the most overlooked-is the lives and well-being of the 9/11 first responders, their families, and the victims' families over the past decade.Dennis Smith, a former firefighter and the author of the bestselling Report from Ground Zero, addresses this important topic in a series of interviews with the heroes and families of those most affected by the tragedy either through feats of bravery in the rescue efforts or heroic bearing up in the face of unimaginable loss. Smith provides an intimate look at a terrible moment in history and its challenging and difficult aftermath, allowing these survivors to share their stories of loss, endurance, and resilience in their own words. A Decade of Hope is an honest and vitally important look at a decade in the lives of those for whom a national tragedy was a devastatingly personal ordeal.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this decade Europe is recovering from the Great War yet already the poisonous seeds for the next, even greater calamity, are taking root.  Our literary leviathans bring tales of pain and heartache, sorrow and humanity into every narrative.  Genius has many names.
