"I never can resist a touch of the dramatic."The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is now best remembered for its concluding story in which the great detective appears to plunge to his death into the waters at the bottom of the Reichenbach Falls, locked in a struggle with his nemesis, Professor Moriarty. However, the collection also brings the reader back to the beginnings of Holmes'' career, involving a mutiny at sea and a treasure hunt in a Sussex country house, and a first encounter with Holmes'' older brother Mycroft, of whom Holmes says, "If the art of the detective began and ended in reasoning from any armchair, my brother would be the greatest criminal agent that ever lived". This collection includes some of the detective''s greatest cases, such as ''Silver Blaze'' and ''The Naval Treaty'', and even one case which Holmes fails to solve. Edited with an introduction by Jarlath Killeen, this volume examines Holmes as a safeguard against social breakdown and chaos, as well as an agent of justice and goodness against the forces of evil. It also situates the collection in the growth of life writing in the period, and explores the ways in which Holmes became increasingly ''real'' ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The true story of the Getty family as featured in the TV series Trust and the movie All the Money in the WorldBoardroom battles, sex, money, drugs, power, crime, tragedy, and family intrigue; at the centre stands the figure of John Paul Getty, the grandfather, an eccentric oil billionaire believed to have been the richest man in the world. Married and divorced five times, he had five sons, and yet was cheated of his dearest ambition—to found an oil dynasty. His angelic youngest son died at age twelve after years of illness. Of the remaining four sons, three proved to be hopeless businessmen and, one by one, dropped out of Getty Oil. Only one had the talent to take the helm of the family business, and he was groomed for the part. And then he killed himself.With his cherished hopes of a family dynasty crushed, John Paul built a magnificent museum as a monument for all time to his success. But money tainted even his philanthropy; the Getty Museum has become feared for its wealth and ability to pillage the art market. In the manoeuvering that followed John Paul''s death, Getty Oil was sold; Texaco acquired it for $9.9 billion, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Sherlock Holmes is back! Ten years after his supposed death in the swirling torrent of the Reichenbach Falls locked in the arms of his arch enemy Professor Moriarty, Arthur Conan Doyle agreed to pen further adventures featuring his brilliant detective. In the first story, ''The Empty House'', Holmes returns to Baker Street and his good friend Watson, explaining how he escaped from his watery grave. In creating this collection of tales, Doyle had lost none of cunning or panache, providing Holmes with a sparkling set of mysteries to solve and a challenging set of adversaries to defeat.

The detective is at the height of his powers and the volume is full of famous cases, including ''The Red-Headed League'', ''The Blue Carbuncle'', and ''The Speckled Band''.

By the time Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had completed the twelve stories for The Strand Magazine that are gathered together in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, he was already growing tired of his most famous creation, but the financial incentive to continue was too great. So began the second series of stories, known as The Memoirs; these introduced such notable characters as Holmes'' indolent brother, Mycroft, and Holmes'' most dangerous adversary, Professor James Moriarty, the ''Napoleon of Crime''. The collection included such stories as ''The Adventure of the Resident Patient'' and ''The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter'', which Doyle would list later as amongst his favourites. It was to Moriarty that was delegated the task of ending the career of the world''s finest consulting detective in a final, fatal encounter at The Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland in the concluding tale, ''The Final Problem''.

Questing was Sherlock Holmes’s business. He famously adopted the latest forensic techniques, channelled the Victorian passion for enquiry, kept abreast of the key scientific breakthroughs of his age, and conducted his investigations in an enigmatic and stylised manner. And the brains behind it all was, of course, the great Arthur Conan Doyle. In this deep dive into the contemporary world of Holmes and Conan Doyle, biographer Andrew Lycett explores all that encompasses the world of the great detective – tracing the infamous character’s own interests, personality and mythologised biography alongside that of his creator’s. From the Victorian crazes for detection and séance, to contemporary developments in science and psychology, Lycett weaves together everything that inspired Conan Doyle in creating the world’s most famous detective and one of fiction's most enduring, enigmatic and recognisable characters.

The final collection of Holmes adventures, containing twelve brilliant, unpredictable stories, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes is a fitting conclusion to its protagonist’s long career and a powerful send-off for Conan Doyle’s greatest creation.

Prior to his tenure, Rangers FC had not won the league title since 1978. Graeme Souness won the title in his first season in charge, and it was to change just about everything at Rangers FC for the next decade. Rangers FC had failed to win the Scottish league title since 1978 with Celtic, Aberdeen and even Dundee United being the dominant forces of the period. The Dons under Alex Ferguson and the Tannadice side, with Jim McLean at the helm, were seriously making their mark in European competition too.With need for action, Rangers FC turned to Souness, who was playing in Italy with Sampdoria at the time, giving him a clear mandate, and substantial funds, to transform the sleeping giant. The move clearly captured the imagination of the fans and the immediate demand for season tickets was overwhelming.40 years on, we take a deep dive into this crucial period in the history of Rangers FC and remember the dramatic events, both on the field and in the boardroom, with key input from many Rangers heroes of that ...
