Synopsis

In "The Red Mass," Valentine Williams crafts a gripping narrative that intertwines themes of justice, morality, and the complexities of human nature against the backdrop of an oppressive regime. Williams employs a vivid and atmospheric literary style, characterized by rich descriptions and taut dialogue, which draws the reader into a world where the struggle between good and evil is palpably felt. Set during a time of political turmoil, the book resonates with the literary context of early 20th-century England, reflecting contemporary concerns over authority and individual integrity while embodying the dramatic irony that is a hallmark of Williams' work. Valentine Williams, a prolific author and journalist, was deeply influenced by his experiences in both Europe and the tumultuous world of early 20th-century politics. His background in law and intimate understanding of social justice provided the framework for "The Red Mass," enabling him to weave a narrative that is at once a thrilling tale and a profound commentary on the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a system of repressive governance. Williams' nuanced characters and intricate plotting reveal the struggles of those caught between personal conviction and societal expectation. This novel is a compelling invitation for readers who appreciate richly textured storytelling that challenges the limits of ethical considerations. Fans of historical fiction and psychological thrillers alike will find Williams' exploration of the human psyche riveting. "The Red Mass" is not just a tale of suspense, but a thought-provoking reflection on the price of justice, making it a must-read for anyone intrigued by the interplay of law, morality, and human agency.

    After assigning the case to his subordinates, Kerney returns to Santa Fe to spend time with a woman he cares about, Sara Brannon, a career army officer who is visiting him on holiday.

    "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane" (1926), one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes. It is notable for being narrated by Holmes himself, instead of by Dr. Watson (who does not appear in the story).
    Holmes is enjoying his retirement in Sussex when one day at the beach, he meets his friend Harold Stackhurst, the headmaster of a nearby preparatory school called The Gables. No sooner have they met than Stackhurst's science teacher, Fitzroy McPherson, staggers up to them, clearly in agony and wearing only an overcoat and trousers. He collapses, manages to say something about a "lion's mane", and then succumbs. He is observed to have red welts all over his back, possibly administered by a flexible weapon of some kind, for the marks curve over his shoulder and round his ribs.
