  "The Greek Interpreter", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally serialised in Strand Magazine in 1893. This story introduces Holmes's elder brother Mycroft. Doyle ranked "The Greek Interpreter" seventeenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
  On a summer evening, while engaged in an aimless conversation that has come round to the topic of hereditary attributes, Doctor Watson learns that Sherlock Holmes, far from being a one-off in terms of his powers of observation and deductive reasoning, in fact has an elder brother whose skills, or so Holmes claims, outstrip even his own. As a consequence of this, Watson becomes acquainted with the Diogenes Club and his friend's brother, Mycroft.

  Inspired by the remarkable life of Dorothy Peto, the Metropolitan Police’s first female superintendent. 
   
  Even in war, your enemies can linger too close to home … 
   
  While war and revolution continue to ravage Europe, Dorothy Peto embraces her new role at Scotland Yard as she and several detectives investigate a series of jewel thefts. Then Dorothy is tasked with assisting the inscrutable Inspector Derwent and the charming Colonel Cartier to find a missing French aristocrat.  
   
  Their enquiries take them to a country house in Yorkshire, that’s been converted to a hospital for wounded soldiers and was the last place the Frenchman visited.  
   
  However, the more questions they ask, the more questions they have. 
   
  When the body of a man suspected of being the marquis is discovered, the investigative team returns to London, but the dead man is a stranger. Dorothy speculates that the death, the jewel thefts and the missing Frenchman may be connected. She finds herself tangled in a web of conscientious objectors, Irish republicans and communist agitators, and not everyone is who they appear to be.

  Here we are with the third adventure of Commissioner Caterina Ruggeri, the now well-known policewoman from the Marche region, beloved by her loyal readership. At her side is a new colleague, Commissioner Sergio Adinolfi of Senigallia, an expert ”criminal profiler,” with whom she must chase a psychopathic serial killer. At one point Caterina almost succumbs to her colleague`s charms, but the progress of the story cannot leave room for love affairs. A challenge in the dark for Commissioner Caterina Ruggeri, who will find herself involved in the most introspective of her adventures. Indeed, she will discover that the murderer is closer to her than anyone dares to imagine, perhaps a member of her own family. She will have to dig into her past and her unconscious to get to the solution, but just when it seems to be within reach, here come new twists and turns to turn the tables. It seems that the psychopath enjoys creating embarrassing situations on purpose for our policewoman, who, pressed by the quaestor, magistrate and journalists, must quickly come to a plausible conclusion. Will she succeed? Let`s leave that to the reader, who will happily rediscover characters already known from the Commissioner`s past adventures and intriguing new characters who emerge in this new episode. Above all, however, the reading will open windows to reflect on some burning issues, particularly the dramas that more or less veiledly can be consumed even within ordinary families. And we are not just talking about violence or sexual abuse, but about all those conflicts and tensions that occur within the family, which children and adolescents often witness and which mark their lives forever, even if adults completely miss these dynamics. A warning, in short, to parents, to try to make their children live, as peaceful a childhood as possible, which will propel them into a calibrated and responsible adulthood.
