Nový příběh Sherlocka Holmese, autorizovaný dědici A. C. Doylea. Na sklonku roku 1889 vyhledá Holmese a jeho věrného přítele doktora Watsona mladý herec George Reynolds, aby mu pomohli vyřešit záhadu, proč na jeho představení chodí každý večer stejní diváci, jen v převlecích. Holmesův úhlavní nepřítel, profesor Moriarty, se mezitím zaplete do vraždy vůdce gangu a společně se svým osobním strážcem Moranem se musí vydat na útěk před policií i rozzuřenými gangstery, aby vypátrali, kdo za tím vším stojí. Připletou se však do cesty Holmesovi a Watsonovi a zanedlouho si všichni čtyři uvědomí, že jejich případy spolu úzce souvisí. Uzavřou tedy nesnadné spojenectví, aby odhalili skutečné padouchy. Stopy je zavedou do hotelu ve Švýcarsku, kde zjistí, že spiknutí je mnohem větší, než kdokoli z nich čekal. Nikomu nelze věřit – a možná nikdo nepřežije…

COWBOYS AND INDIES is the story of the ''record men'' - the mavericks and moguls who have shaped the music industry from the first sound machines of the 1850s through to today''s digital streams. Men like John Hammond, who discovered Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen; Sam Phillips and Berry Gordy, founders of the Sun and Motown labels; Chris Blackwell, who brought Bob Marley and reggae music into the mainstream; Geoff Travis who built Rough Trade and launched The Smiths; or genre-busting producer Rick Rubin, who recorded Run DMC, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Johnny Cash. Gareth Murphy has drawn on more than 100 interviews with music business legends, as well as extensive archive research, to bring us the behind-the-scenes stories of how music gets made and sold. He explains, too, how the industry undergoes regular seismic changes. We may think the digital revolution is a big deal, but in the 1920s the arrival of radio and the Wall Street Crash wiped out 95 per cent of record sales.

Arthur Conan Doyle was a GP before he became a writer. He uses his medical knowledge widely in the Sherlock Holmes stories. He bases the deductive skills of his hero detective on the diagnostic techniques a GP uses with a patient. He even gives Sherlock a GP sidekick. This all contributes to the enduring popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories, over 130 years after the first story was published. An amazing 52 diseases feature in the Sherlock Holmes stories. This includes many that remain significant parts of a GP''s workload today - diabetes, asthma, ischaemic heart disease, stroke. There are then other diseases that have largely died out in the UK due to advances in medical science - diphtheria, brain fever, rickets, tetanus. The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson takes a definitive look at how Conan Doyle uses these 52 diseases in the stories. It also gives a historical perspective on the Victorian understanding of the diseases, using the textbooks Conan Doyle would very likely have had sitting on his consulting room shelves.
