Holmes and I (Dr John Watson) were called to Scotland Yard to help investigate a double murder on a train. The train station managers were getting irritated because they weren't allowed to let any trains leave until we got this murder solved.
The driver of the train was in the engine compartment while the conductor was at the caboose. The officer on board thought they had been shot at the same time since he had heard the shots go off at the same time.
Holmes boarded the train and walked the entire length of it. He stopped in the very center of the train.
"Watson, how fast was the train traveling?""According to my notes, the train was traveling at 150 kilometers per hour.""Those men were not killed at the same time."
Staged in the Victorian era, Holmes and Watson is back for more murder crimes by the evil nemesis professor Moriarty.

When a decades-long court battle resulted in her family's freedom in 1855, seven-year-old Mary Mildred Williams unexpectedly became the face of American slavery. Famous abolitionists Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry David Thoreau, and John Albion Andrew would help Mary and her family in freedom, but Senator Charles Sumner saw a monumental political opportunity. Due to generations of sexual violence, Mary's skin was so light that she "passed" as white, and this fact would make her the key to his white audience's sympathy. During his sold-out abolitionist lecture series, Sumner paraded Mary in front of rapt audiences as evidence that slavery was not bounded by race.
Weaving together long-overlooked primary sources and arresting images, including the daguerreotype that turned Mary into the poster child of a movement, Jessie Morgan-Owens investigates tangled generations of sexual enslavement and the fraught politics that led Mary to Sumner. She follows Mary's story through the lives of her determined mother and grandmother to her own adulthood, parallel to the story of the antislavery movement and the eventual signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Girl in Black and White restores Mary to her rightful place in history and uncovers a dramatic narrative of travels along the Underground Railroad, relationships tested by oppression, and the struggles of life after emancipation. The result is an expos of the thorny racial politics of the abolitionist movement and the pervasive colorism that dictated where white sympathy lay--one that sheds light on a shameful legacy that still affects us profoundly today.
These three classics from the master of the noir novel, along with five otherwise unavailable short stories, are electric with the taut narrative voice, the suspense, and the explosive violence and eroticism that were James M. Cain's indelible hallmarks.
The Postman Always Rings Twice, Cain's first novel-the subject of an obscenity trial in Boston, the inspiration for Camus's The Stranger-is the fever-pitched tale of a drifter who stumbles into a job, into an erotic obsession, and into a murder. Double Indemnity-which followed Postman so quickly, Cain's readers hardly had a chance to catch their breath-is a tersely narrated story of blind passion, duplicity, and, of course, murder. Mildred Pierce, a work of acute psychological observation and devastating emotional violence, is the tale of a woman with a taste for shiftless men and an unreasoned devotion to her monstrous daughter. All three novels were immortalized in classic Hollywood films. Also included here are five masterful stories-"Pastorale," "The Baby in the Icebox," "Dead Man," "Brush Fire," "The Girl in the Storm"-that have been out of print for decades.

Holmes, his brother Mycroft and I were sitting in the local pub drinking ale and smoking. Holmes had just helped Scotland Yard solve another case, and he felt like celebrating. We agreed to play a game of billiards while chatting about our days. We hadn't seen Mycroft in several weeks, so he was ready to regale us with tales of what he called an adventure. His version of an adventure was sitting in courtrooms or at Scotland Yard to see what was happening.
He was laughing so hard at a riddle he had heard while sitting in the back of a courtroom that we were having trouble understanding what it was he was saying. We let him laugh himself out and then asked him to repeat it, so we could enjoy some of the laughs.
"I swear this is exactly what I heard in that courtroom. The defense attorney asked the prosecutor this question: Dana's mother is the mother of three daughters. One of her daughters has the name of Betty while the other one is named Kathy. What is the name of her other daughter?"

Описание: Warren Gamaliel Harding was a traditional man in the mode of the late-nineteenth, early-twentieth century. His values, perspective on the world around him, his habits and leisure pastimes, and his opinions about being an American and a man were all extremely traditional. To understand Warren G Harding one must first seek the essence of the man. This work attempts to discover and analyse the essence of Harding through three methods. First, this book presents a biographical overview that examines the person of Warren G Harding in an effort to understand how he captured the admiration and adoration of so many Americans while at the same time being assailed as an ignorant man, incompetent President, and unethical individual. Second, in order to ascertain and evaluate Harding as a political leader and the effectiveness of his presidency, this book analyses selected key decisions, tactics, and policies pursued by the Harding Administration. Third, this work briefly describes the context of the Harding Era, basically the period from 1920 through 1923.
