Warlock
Holmes: The Hell Hounds of the Baskervilles is by G S Denning. The
game's afoot once more as Holmes and Watson face off against Moriarty's gang,
the Pinkertons, flesh-eating horses, a parliament of imps, boredom, Surrey, a
disappointing butler demon, a succubus, a wicked lord, an overly-Canadian lord,
a tricycle-fight to the death and the dreaded Pumpcrow. Oh, and a hell hound,
one assumes.
Two
Lost Boys is by L F Robertson. Janet
Moodie has spent years as a death row appeals attorney. Over-worked, underpaid,
and recently widowed, she's had her fill of hopeless cases, and is determined
that this will be her last. Her client is Marion 'Andy' Hardy, convicted
fifteen years ago along with his brother Emory of kidnapping, rape and murder
of two prostitutes, but Janet discovers a series of errors made by his previous
lawyers. Andy may well be guilty of something, but what?
When
a mint copy of the final album by Valerian England's great lost rock band of
the 1960s surfaces in a charity shop, all hell breaks loose. Finding this
record triggers a chain of events culminating in our hero learning the true
fate of the singer Valerian, who died under equivocal circumstances just after
- or was it just before? - the abduction of her two-year-old son. The Vinyl Detective: The Run Out Grove is by
Andrew Cartmel.

A
formerly rich businessman thrown out of Hong Kong when the Chinese took over
from the British decides to fix his dire financial problems and take revenge on
the Chinese by tunneling under Hong Kong's bank vaults and stealing all their
gold, then using a doomsday device to set off a "soliton wave" that
will turn the ground to sludge, causing the whole city to collapse. Only the
engineer on his staff who designed the soliton wave technology (intending it
for good purposes, to help with construction projects) can stop him, working
together with a beautiful young environmental activist who gets caught up in
one of the soliton tests and nearly killed. From the deck of a yacht near the
Great Barrier Reef to Australia and Singapore and finally Hong Kong itself,
it's a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as our heroes first struggle to escape the
villain's clutches and then thwart his insanely destructive plan. Forever and a Death is by Donald E Westlake
Fight
or Die is by James Hilton. When the Gunn
brothers Danny and Clay answer a call to help old friends, they are plunged
into a volatile and deadly situation. Larry and Pamela Duke own one of the most
popular nightclubs in the Spanish resort town of Ultima, but a local gang known
as the Locos are determined to take it. Danny and Clay are hired to protect the
club, but new adversaries enter the game. Against such odds there are only two
choices: fight or die...
Sherlock
Holmes : The Labyrinth of Death is by James Lovegrove. London, 1895, and a
widowed gentleman comes calling at 221B Baker Street. Due to his preoccupation
with his grief at losing his wife, Fitzhugh Woolfson's daughter Hannah has
become estranged from him, and has disappeared from the family home. Woolfson
begs Sherlock Holmes to find her. Holmes and Watson soon discover that Hannah
has joined a religious sect known as the Elysians - led by the charismatic Sir
Philip Buchanan - which conducts secretive rituals in the countryside derived
from Ancient Greek myth and religion. Hannah's friend Sophia has disappeared
after becoming embroiled with the Elysians, and foul play is suspected. The
companions must infiltrate the mysterious cult to discover the terrifying
truth.

A
mysterious Catholic priest arrives at 221B Baker Street, only to utter the
words 'if corpe' before dropping dead. Though the man's death is attributed to
cholera, when news of a similar case reaches Holmes, he is convinced that the
priests have been poisoned. He and Watson learn that the men were on a mission
from the Vatican to investigate a miracle; but surely no miracle could lead to
murder? Sherlock Holmes: City of the
Innocents is by Cavan Scott.
