Summary

Caleb Forrest, a twenty-two-year-old modern-day fisherman, has a tale to tell, a tale of justified murder, as he sees it. Experiencing a sort of amnesia from his last trip at sea, he pushes off aboard his prized Cat boat ‘Sea Gypsy’ for a one-day journey that will take him past his childhood haunts and the memories, both good and bad, that go along with them. The last descendent of a once proud seafaring family, Caleb’s left with a burden of land he does not need and cannot afford but must hold onto for tradition sake. Along with his heroic, albeit flawed grandfather, Caleb is pitted against an unscrupulous builder turned town politico who, bound by an ever-decreasing coastline, will do anything to get the land, even if that means using his first-born son as chess piece to do it.
The tale is set amidst the unimaginable beauty of an as yet unspoiled moorland and the ultimate sacrifice it will take to protect it. Culminating on the desolate, windswept dunes of Monomoy Island, the young fisherman must finally come to grips with his crime or face something much more daunting than any hangman’s gallows.

"Sit down with Todd Forrest Sherman and let him entertain you. He has crafted a powerful Cape Cod tale of families and jealousies and murder that feels as familiar as the sand in your shoes, yet as fresh as a bright beach day after a week of rain. So go to Cape Cod with Sherman and his characters. You won't want to come back." - William Martin New York Times Bestselling author of Cape Cod and December '41 .

"An intoxicating tale. Beautifully written and deeply reseached, place Todd Forrest's Into the Realm up there with the greatest books ever written about Cape Cod. It's that good!" - Casey Sherman, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Finest Hours and Helltown.

    The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle is a masterful collection of detective stories that introduced the world to one of literature's most iconic and enduring characters. First published in 1892, these twelve captivating tales follow the brilliant consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. John Watson, as they unravel mysteries that confound the police and astonish readers.

From the fog-laden streets of London to quiet country estates, Holmes applies his extraordinary powers of observation and deductive reasoning to solve cases involving stolen jewels, hidden identities, secret codes, and baffling disappearances. Each story presents a puzzle that challenges conventional thinking, inviting readers to follow Holmes's logical process as he transforms the smallest detail into a decisive clue.

Narrated by Dr. Watson, the collection balances intellectual intrigue with warmth and humanity. Watson's perspective provides insight into Holmes's remarkable mind—his sharp intellect, eccentric habits, and unwavering confidence. Through their partnership, readers experience not only the thrill of investigation but also the loyalty and respect that define their enduring friendship.

Among the most famous stories in the volume are "A Study in Scarlet's" successor tales such as "A Scandal in Bohemia," which introduces the formidable Irene Adler; "The Red-Headed League," a brilliantly constructed mystery of deception; and "The Speckled Band," one of the most suspenseful and chilling cases in the canon. Each narrative showcases Conan Doyle's talent for tightly woven plots, atmospheric settings, and dramatic revelations.

Beyond their gripping mysteries, these stories offer a vivid portrait of Victorian society. The bustling metropolis, with its contrasts of wealth and poverty, respectability and crime, forms a rich backdrop to Holmes's investigations. The cases reflect the anxieties and curiosities of a rapidly changing world, where science, industry, and urban life create new challenges—and new crimes.

Holmes himself stands as a symbol of rational thought and modern detection. His reliance on evidence, chemistry, disguise, and keen psychological insight helped shape the future of crime fiction. Through him, Conan Doyle established many of the conventions that continue to define the detective genre today.

Endlessly engaging and ingeniously crafted, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes remains a cornerstone of classic literature and mystery storytelling. With its memorable characters, clever twists, and timeless appeal, this collection invites readers to step into 221B Baker Street and witness the art of deduction at its finest.

    Growing, growing, gone… 
Penrith, in the heart of the Lake District, is not the kind of place you can easily vanish. 
Certainly not when the members of the Penrith Bingo Club are trying to track you down. But even stalwart sleuth, Amita Khatri, and her son in law, Jason, are foxed this time when a local woman tells them her husband, a mild-mannered academic has gone missing. 
And he’s not the only person to disappear. Soon Amita, Jason, and irascible retired copper, Frank, are searching for more people – and some missing money to boot. 
From the veg patches of Penrith to the shores of Ullswater, as Jason and Amita comb the Cumbrian countryside for clues, they soon realise they’ve stumbled a case where planting the evidence takes on a whole new meaning. And unless they can unearth some answers soon, they might be the next people to disappear… 
In this humorous, cosy mystery novel, domestic satire and small-town suspicion collide in a story where everyone has something to hide. The fiction delivers steady thrills as the mystery spreads across Penrith, and the search for the missing becomes a race to avoid becoming the next disappearance. 
For fans of Hannah Hendy (A Terrible Village Poisoning), Dee Macdonald (A Body at Lavender Cottage), Peter Boland (DEATH OF A WILD SWIMMER an absolutely gripping British mystery full of twists), Russell Cooper (Aubrey Hall), and Richard Osman (We Solve Murders).
