  A young woman is found dead in Richmond Park. It turns out that the deceased is the wife of wealthy businessman Conrad Sanders. Inspector Wolfford immediately requests Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson's assistance at the start of the investigation. It quickly becomes clear that the murder could only have been committed by a left-handed person. Unfortunately, there are three suspects to choose from: Conrad Sanders himself, his brother Stuart, and the riding instructor Rick Hunter, who had been having a passionate affair with the victim. There are clues and speculation, but proof is lacking. Then Holmes has a brilliant idea... and the trap snaps shut!

  The disgraced knight turned inquiry agent searches for a missing relic in this Macavity Award-finalist mystery set in fourteenth century London. 
   
   
   
  Former knight Crispin Guest is now known in the streets of medieval London as the Tracker—an investigator who can find anything and anyone. What begins as a straightforward case of murder turns complicated when Crispin realizes that the victim was an important courier in possession of a holy artifact—an object so valuable that its absence could start a war between France and England. 
   
   
   
  Surrounded by possible suspects, Guest will have to use his wiles to navigate both the exclusive halls of King Richard's court, and the hardscrabble streets of fourteenth-century London. In a world full of old friends, mysterious strangers, and dangerous enemies—including the treasonous mastermind who caused Crispin's fall from grace—Crispin will have to uncover a deadly conspiracy to protect his country, save himself, and perhaps even restore his good name.

  Soon to be a Prime original limited series! 
   
  In the classic mystery by Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie, an elderly priest is murdered, quite possibly doomed by a woman’s deathbed confession and by the secrets kept safely locked behind closed doors of a mysterious local pub.  
  When an elderly priest is murdered, the killer searches the victim so roughly that his already ragged cassock is torn in the process. What was the killer looking for? And what had a dying woman confided to the priest on her deathbed only hours earlier? 
  Mark Easterbrook and his sidekick Ginger Corrigan are determined to find out. Maybe the three women who run The Pale Horse public house, and who are rumored to practice the “Dark Arts,” can provide some answers?
