"The Author Who Invented The Historical Thriller Takes On The Most Famous Scientific Detective In History. Caleb Carr's newest tale (commissioned by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) begins when Sherlock Holmes reveals to Dr. Watson an encrypted telegram he has received from his brother Mycroft; the famous detective has been summoned to the aid of Queen Victoria in Scotland. Rushed northward on a royal train - and nearly murdered themselves en route - Holmes and Watson are soon joined by Mycroft, and learn of the brutal killings of a renowned architect and his foreman, both of whom had been preparing to renovate a wing of the famous and forbidding Royal Palace of Holyrood, in Edinburgh. Mycroft has enlisted his brother to help solve the murders that may be key elements of a much more elaborate and pernicious plot on the Queen's life. But the circumstances of the two victims' deaths also call to Holmes's mind the terrible murder - in the palace of Holyrood - of "The Italian Secretary," David Rizzio. The only difficulty? Rissio, a music teacher and confidante of Mary, Queen of Scots, was butchered before Mary's very eyes three centuries earlier by supporters of England's Queen Elizabeth (and perhaps with the approval of that uncompromisng ruler herself) in an atttempt to break the spirit of the very independent young Scottish Queen. Holmes proceeds to alarm Watson with the suggestion that the Italian Secretary's vengeful spirit may have taken the lives of the two men as punishment for disturbing the scene of his assassination. Will these two new deaths turn out to be mere coincidence? Have old political rivalries reared their poisonous heads once again? Or has the Italian Secretary indeed exacted his own terrible revenge? Told with his unique feel for historical detail and the architecture of human evil, Caleb Carr's brilliant new offering enriches the Conan Doyle tradition, with a fascinating yet relentlessly-paced tale that extends into a realm unprecedented even for Sherlock Holmes." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Havenhearth is a dark dystopian sci-fi that takes place a century after nuclear disaster drives humanity underground. There, they survive in a bunker state known as Havenhearth, consisting of 3 cities, Initium, Centrum, and Finis. But life is a fragile veneer, with a Council that hints at corruption, and a fanatical group known as the Edenborn threatening to shatter the fragile peace.Kaden Lockworth's life flips upside down when he is selected for the Aegis Corp, the military elite, but his friend Ava is snatched away by a shadowy group, launching him and his loyal companions Eli and Claire to unravel the sinister web of conspiracy lying in the underground world. Meanwhile, Ava is undergoing her own nightmare, subjected to brutal blood and radiation experiments by the hands of the Edenborn, whose only goal is to return to the surface, by any means necessary. Havenhearth explores political intrigue through an oppressive government, a similarly deceitful rebellion, a tad of horror, but also adds a bit of hope through a young romance. Full of intricate conspiracies, labyrinths of lies, and shocking and sinister villains, Havenhearth is perfect for those science-fiction lovers who lean a bit more towards the dark and twisted.
