Book excerpt: This premium quality large print edition contains the complete and unabridged original classic version of The Sign of the Four, the second of only four original full-length mystery novels featuring Arthur Conan Doyle's "consulting detective", printed on heavy, bright white 60# paper in a large 6"x9" format, with page headers and a fully laminated full-color cover featuring an original design. This volume, which has been freshly edited and typeset by human editors, not machine-scanned, contains the complete original text and corrects a number of typographical errors introduced in the many various editions published over the years. Additional material collected and presented for Conan Doyle fans, new or old, are a biographical sketch of the author and a detailed selected bibliography of his work. Set in 1888, the story opens with Holmes complaining to Watson about the boredom of a "commonplace" world in which nothing unusual ever happens anymore, when they are interrupted by the arrival of a visibly distressed young lady who relates a strange tale: once each year, she has received a valuable pearl from an unknown source. Having now received a message requesting that she meet her anonymous benefactor, she comes to consult with Holmes. Accompanying Miss Morstan to her appointment, Holmes and Watson are drawn into a complex plot involving the British East India Company, the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, a murder, stolen treasure, and a secret pact between convicts. But the most immediate problem for Holmes is to track down a mysterious killer and the missing treasure in an adventure which proves to be anything but "commonplace." First published in the February 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine as The Sign of the Four in the London and Philadelphia editions, it was quickly re-published in several British periodicals that gave the title as The Sign of Four. First published in book form in October 1890 with the title The Sign of Four used in both the British and American editions, over the years various reprintings have used the two different forms of the title. The actual text in the novel uniformly uses "the Sign of the Four" with the exception of two instances near the end. We have chosen to use the original title for this edition, which more accurately reflects the content of the text. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) is known the world over as the creator of the famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, but was a prolific writer who produced a large body of work ranging from non-fiction and full-length novels to a wide variety of short stories. Doyle's first major success as a writer came with the debut of Sherlock Holmes in the 1887 publication of "A Study in Scarlet". Holmes was a popular sensation, and more stories followed. By 1891, Sherlock Holmes was enough to provide Doyle a living, but Doyle came to resent Holmes, who kept him from what he considered "more important" work. In 1893 he "killed" Holmes, as the detective and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, plunged to their deaths at Reichenbach Falls in "The Final Problem". It was no mere publicity stunt. Doyle considered himself finished with Mr. Sherlock Holmes. The public uproar in reaction to Holmes' "death" shocked Doyle, with even his own mother complaining, and as the clamor continued he was forced to bring the detective back in "The Hound of the Baskervilles", published, to vast public sigh of relief, in 1901. Ironically, the character Doyle resented as a "distraction" from serious work would ultimately appear in fifty-six short stories and four novels, together with countless adaptations to films, television, cartoons, and modern pastiches by an assortment of authors. In fact, the "world's first consulting detective" is widely regarded, along with Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan, as the best-known fictional characters in the world.

I was so invested in the future of this mother and son, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of this deeply suspenseful story!” —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club Pick) Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn’t know what happened to her—only that her books have been banned—and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him. Then one day, Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York City, where he will finally learn the truth about what happened to his mother, and what the future holds for them both. Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It’s about the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and the power of art to create change.

In The Penguin Book of Victorian Women in Crime, Michael Sims has brought together all of the era's great crime-fighting females- plus a few choice crooks, including Four Square Jane and the Sorceress of the Strand.
