Seemingly unconnected events pull Mycroft in several directions at once. To prevent the leaders of an anarchist group from reaching England’s shores, Mycroft must, much to his dismay, become part of the intended reconciliation of a husband and wife. Then there are the minor puzzles: Why is gentleman who claims to be Turkish seeking his supposedly kidnapped brother in London? Why does an eminent phrenologist urgently want Mycroft’s opinion on the inhabitants of his asylum? Who has been following Mycroft and his estimable secretary, the amiable Paterson Guthrie, through London’s foggy streets? What motivated the attempted assassination of an Admiralty courier on Mycroft’s own doorstep? When the lovely Penelope Gatspy saves Guthrie’s life, is it because of the attraction between them or on orders of the mysterious “lodge” she serves? But, most important to Mycroft—who is behind the kidnapping of his old friend, the actor Edmund Sutton, who was in the midst of a triumphant run as Macbeth in Shakespeare’s infamous “Scottish Play”? FROM THE PERSONAL JOURNAL OF PHILIP TYERS: It is almost eight and Sutton has not returned from the Diogenes Club; he has maintained MH’s habitual visits to the minute before now, which should have brought him back here no later than seven-forty-three or -four. I am somewhat troubled by this unprecedented delay. It is most unlike Sutton, who, if nothing else, is punctual. If I cannot find Sutton on the street, I will ask for him—in the persona of MH—at the club. If I can learn nothing there, I will speak to the Golden Lodge guards, to find out if they noticed anything irregular. I do not like to assume the worst, but I am truly worried that I have not seen him, even if he decided, for some unknown reason, to approach the flat from the rear ... Review Quotes: “Authorized by the Conan Doyle Estate—and great fun to boot.” —Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer “Mycroft relies on action, negotiation, and manipulation—rather like John Le Carré’s Smiley. The book is appealing, with a nice dash of actual Victorian political characters and events. It’s fun to read.” —San Jose Mercury News “Any Sherlock Holmes fan will want to read Quinn Fawcett’s homage to the great detective.” —Midwest Book Review “The star is Holmes, and the narrator is his sidekick. But the Holmes is Mycroft, Sherlock’s older, smarter brother; and the narrator is Paterson Erskine Guthrie, not Dr. Watson. Absorbing.” —Publishers Weekly Thanks: The character of Mycroft Holmes is portrayed in this novel with the kind permission of Dame Jean Conan Doyle. Dedication: For CLARENCE and PATTI Bio: A professional writer for more than forty years, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has sold over eighty books, more than seventy works of short fiction, and more than three dozen essays, introductions, and reviews. She also composes serious music. Her first professional writing - in 1961-2 - was as a playwright for a now long-defunct children's theater company. By the mid-60s she had switched to writing stories and hasn't stopped yet. After leaving college in 1963 and until she became a full-time writer in 1970, she worked as a demographic cartographer, and still often drafts maps for her books, and occasionally for the books of other writers. She has a large reference library with books on a wide range of subjects, everything from food and fashion to weapons and trade routes to religion and law. She is constantly adding to it as part of her on-going fascination with history and culture; she reads incessantly, searching for interesting people and places that might provide fodder for stories. In 1997 the Transylvanian Society of Dracula bestowed a literary knighthood on Yarbro, and in 2003 the World Horror Association presented her with a Grand Master award. In 2006 the International Horror Guild enrolled her among their Living Legends, the first woman to be so honored; the Horror Writers Association gave her a Life Achievement Award in 2009. A skeptical occultist for forty years, she has studied everything from alchemy to zoomancy, and in the late 1970s worked occasionally as a professional tarot card reader and palmist at the Magic Cellar in San Francisco. She has two domestic accomplishments: she is a good cook and an experienced seamstress. The rest is catch-as-catch-can. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with two cats: the irrepressible Butterscotch and Crumpet, the Gang of Two. When not busy writing, she enjoys the symphony or opera. Views: 32

Tom and his sister, Ruth, are home from school for a
holiday. They are joined by their American friends, the Wheatley twins, Jane
and Boyd. The four have already planned to explore Orleigh Cave, which has a
local reputation of being haunted. But they are searching for a lost treasure
of the Romans which they believe to lie somewhere in the cave. After being
trapped in the cave by a rock fall, they travel deeper into the cave and stumble
upon and into a secret world beneath the earth which is inhabited by descendants
of the very Romans whose treasure they have been seeking. These people, with
their debased Latin and their partly archaic and partly modern technology,
guard their secret and their habitat rigorously from the upper earth.
Fortunately the children make contact with a contemporary who has long been a
prisoner and who has the aid of a "native" girl. But even with their
new friends’ help, an escape attempt will put them in grave danger with only a
chance of gaining freedom.Paul Capon (1912-1969) was a British novelist of considerable reputation. He had over twenty novels to his credit and counted film editing and script writing as part of his experience. He traveled extensively in Europe and made hobbies of chess, book-collecting and swimming.

Five red hot stories focused girl on girl actionLipsmacker by Ashley Hind"This is the ballad of Fanny Spänkka, who fell in love with the beautiful drummer and then had her heart broken by Yours Truly. It's not actually a ballad, obviously. It's more of a swift tale, but I use the term for the musical connotations, since dearest Fanny does so love to boast to all her girly conquests that she is the lead singer of a rock band. She doesn't mention that it's a crap rock band. This isn't even much of a tale, if I'm honest - more a cautionary note not to get ideas above your station where I am concerned. Because if you get me uncharacteristically drunk and perform your particularly nasty kink upon my person, you can bet your sweet ass that I, as the most luscious natural dominatrix imaginable, am going to bring a hefty bum-load of retribution straight round to your back door. And that's exactly what I did..."Strap Happy by Erin PimTwo kinkster lesbians discover the... Views: 32
