The Game is Afoot! Step out of your hansom cab and onto the foggy
streets of Edwardian London with The Sherlock Holmes Quiz Book, a
comprehensive collection of fun and challenging trivia about the
adventures of the inimitable detective whose intellectual feats
overwhelmed criminals and Scotland Yard alike. Kathleen Kaska
offers brainteasers on each story about the detective and his
associate Dr. Watson, as well as the background on how Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's own experiences contributed to his literary work. She
covers all of the different ways Holmes has been adapted including
the recent Robert Downey Jr. films, and TV shows featuring Benedict
Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller.
Murder at The Galvez
Eighteen years after discovering the murdered body of her
grandfather in the foyer of the historic Galvez Hotel, Sydney
Lockhart reluctantly returns to Galveston, Texas to cover the
controversial Pelican Island Development Project conference. Soon
after her arrival, the conference is cancelled; the keynote speaker
is missing. When his body turns up in the truck of Sydney's car,
she's hauled down to the police station for questioning.
The good news is Sydney has an alibi this time; the bad news is
she finds another body-her father's new friend-he's floating
facedown in a fish tank with a bullet in his head. Her father's odd
behavior and the threatening notes delivered to her hotel room
leads Sydney to suspect that her grandfather's unsolved murder and
the present murders are connected.
As if this wasn't bad enough, just a few blocks from the hotel
at her parents' home, people are gathering, sparks are flying,
another controversial event is in the planning, one that just might
rival the Great Storm of 1900.
