  Book Nine of the MacGee series shines a spotlight on Ivory White, MacGee's partner and the firm's man of action. When MacGee Associates, the CIA, and FBI, team up with one of the few truly honest senior Mexican police commanders to interdict a cruel and violent human trafficking criminal organization, Ivory White is arrested and thrown in the worst of the worst Mexican prisons to send a message to US President Willets from the corrupt president of Mexico. Ivory suffers, and the world turns upside down below the US southern border. There is as much action as you could want: beatings, killings, rescues, prison breaks, work by sandhogs and Seabees in action, and revolution. And Ivory White is in the thick of it all.

  The Adventure of the Second Stain, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes and the only unrecorded case mentioned passively by Watson to be written. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Second Stain" eighth in his list of his twelve favourite Holmes stories.Lord Bellinger, the Prime Minister, and the Right Honourable Trelawney Hope, the Secretary of State for European Affairs, come to Holmes in the matter of a document stolen from Hope's dispatch box, which he kept at home in Whitehall Terrace when not at work. If divulged, this document could bring about very dire consequences for all Europe, even war. They are loath to tell Holmes at first the exact nature of the document's contents, but when Holmes declines to take on their case, they tell him that it was a rather injudicious letter from a foreign potentate. It disappeared from the dispatch box one evening when Hope's wife was out at the theatre for four hours. No-one in the house knew about the document, not even the Secretary's wife. None of the servants could have guessed what was in the box...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
