Inspector Patrick Cashman is under pressure to quickly find the cause of the fire - and identify a suspect - to placate the visiting Lord Mayor and Commissioner and secure his hopes of promotion.

Book excerpt: When an exhibition featuring London's top engineers results in sudden, violent death, Victorian writer-sleuths Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens investigate. "Victorian whodunits don’t get much better than this" - Publishers Weekly Starred Review March, 1859. After the 'Great Stink' of the previous summer when Parliament was overwhelmed by the stench of sewage from the River Thames, and with cholera running rife throughout the city, Charles Dickens has a new enthusiasm. Having formed a firm friendship with Joseph Bazalgette, he is assisting the ambitious young engineer in his efforts to find a solution to London's pollution problem. Dickens' friend and fellow writer Wilkie Collins meanwhile is distracted by thoughts of his pretty new housekeeper and her charming daughter. But what does he really know of his new employee's past - and just who - or what - is making her so frightened? During an exhibition to showcase London's top engineers' plans to solve the sewage issue, proceedings are disrupted by a high-pitched, agonised scream - and the discovery of a blood-soaked body; the result - it would appear - of a terrible accident. Dickens however is convinced of foul play, and once again he and Wilkie Collins set about uncovering the shocking truth.

Download or read book Murder on the Quilt written by Steve Kious and published by Milford House Press. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Murder on the Quilt" is a genealogical murder mystery. After his mother dies Nick Coy unexpectedly discovers he was adopted. He decides to trace his biological family, a journey that takes him from Oakland, California to two small towns in rural Indiana. There he meets Christy Johannson, the local librarian, and Irv Robinson, the local genealogical and historical expert, who provide help to him. Irv takes Nick to a very old cemetery where his relatives are buried. Utilizing the practice of grave dowsing, Irv locates an unmarked grave. A skeleton is dug up, and it's determined that it's a homicide victim. A DNA test confirms Nick's suspicion that he's related to the unidentified skeleton, which is that of Nicholas Koy (who used a different spelling of the surname), Nick's five times great-grandfather, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 1873. Two questions remain: who killed him and what were the circumstances surrounding his death? A unique 184-year-old quilt, made by Sally Hough, the sister of Nicholas Koy, and a Civil War-era pistol, are housed in the local museum. Two of the quilt's panels depict a murder and a cemetery. The two artifacts prove to be links to the murder. A diary - also 184 years old and written by Sally Hough - is discovered in the bottom of a cedar chest and makes its way into Nick's hands. He reads the diary and through Sally's chronicles learns why his ancestor was murdered and who killed him.
Download or read book Mysterious Chicago written by Adam Selzer and published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Chicago historian Adam Selzer, expert on all of the Windy City’s quirks and oddities, comes a compelling heavily researched anthology of the stories behind its most fascinating unsolved mysteries. To create this unique volume, Selzer has collected forty unsolved mysteries from the 1800s to modern day. He has poured through all newspaper, magazine, and book references to them, and consulted expert historians. Topics covered include who really started the great Chicago fire, who was the first “automobile murderer,” and even if there was actually a vampire slaying at Rose Hill cemetery. The result is both a colorful read to get lost in, a window to a world of curiosity and wonder, as well as a volume that separates fact from fiction—true crime from urban legend. Complementing the gripping stories Selzer presents are original images of the crime and its suspects as developed by its original investigators. Readers will marvel at how each character and crime were presented, and happily journey with Selzer as he presents all facts and theories presented at the time of the “crime” and uses modern hindsight to assemble the pieces.
