"The night mail for the Continent stood ready to glide out of the London terminus, the leave-taking friends assembled in small groups upon the platform before the carriage doors were reiterating last messages and once more exchanging promises to 'write, ' when a hard-featured, thick-set gentleman who had been peering out of a second-class window drew back with a slight exclamation of annoyance or disappointment, and sank into a corner seat. Hardly a moment had passed, when the rattle of the guard's key was again heard in the lock, and the door fell open to admit a fifth passenger. 'Just in time, sir! ' muttered the guard, banging the door after the new arrival and relocking it. He immediately signalled with his lamp, a whistle rang out sharply, and the night mail for the Continent started from London."

Arsène Lupin is a literary descendant of Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail's fictional character Rocambole, whose adventures were published from 1857 to 1870. Like Rocambole, Lupin is often a force for good while operating on the wrong side of the law. Arsène Lupin is a fictional gentleman thief and master of disguise created in 1905 by French writer Maurice Leblanc. He was originally called Arsène Lopin, until a local politician of the same name protested. The character was first introduced in a series of short stories serialized in the magazine Je sais tout. The first story, "The Arrest of Arsène Lupin", was published on 15 July 1905.

Storms and his perpetually stoned bro, Coleman,in Tim Dorsey’s gonzo crime caper.” –The New York Times Book ReviewThe “compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny” (Boston Globe) Tim Dorsey returns with an insanely entertaining tale in which the inimitable Serge A.

Beginning in Key West, the sunshine boys’ odyssey includes a forgotten mass grave in Palm Beach County holding the remains of African Americans killed by the Great Hurricane of 1928, and the resting place of one world-famous television dolphin (RIP Flipper) from the 1960s.But one deadland—a haunted old sugar field—holds more than just the bones of those who’ve passed. For years, local children have whispered about a boogeyman hiding among the stalks. Could it be the same maniac known as Naked Florida Man, who’s been raising hell all over the place?There are few things Serge loves more than solving a good mystery and bestowing justice on miscreants who sully his beloved home’s good name. With his partner Bong Man, Florida’s psycho superhero will find the truth in this hilariously violent delight—packed with history, lore, and plenty of motel antics—from the insanely ingenious Tim Dorsey.

"Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1 April 1875 - 10 February 1932) was an English writer. He joined the army at age 21 and was a war correspondent during the Second Boer War, for Reuters and the Daily Mail.

In 1931 he moved to Hollywood, where he worked as a script writer for RKO. He died suddenly from undiagnosed diabetes, during the initial drafting of King Kong (1933).

Führen die schriftlichen Erinnerungen eines "alten Kameraden" zur Katastrophe?Unter den alten Sachen, die Kalle zwar erbte, jedoch nie beachtete, entdeckt er durch Zufall ein Notizbuch, in das sein Großvater alle seine Erinnerungen an die Erlebnisse im Kriegsgefangenenlager eingetragen hatte.Dieses Notizbuch befindet sich bereits seit Jahren in Kalles Besitz, doch er wusste nichts davon. Eigentlich zählt er sich zur hartgesottenen Art, doch was er da zu lesen bekommt, verschlägt ihm teilweise die Sprache.Auch gründete der mittlerweile verstorbene Großvater nach seiner Heimkehr eine Firma mit seinem damaligen Kameraden, den er in der Kriegsgefangenschaft kennenlernte und in diesem Notizbuch namentlich nennt.Da Kalle der einzige Erbe ist, müsste die Teilhaberschaft also an ihn gegangen sein. Das ist jedoch nicht der Fall. Kalles Großvater wird nirgendwo als Kompagnon aufgeführt. Sein Name wurde offensichtlich spurlos beseitigt.Es scheint jetzt so, als hätte er nie existiert, denn kein Papier weist seine Beteiligung aus. Kalle schaltet einen Anwalt ein und legt ihm das Notizbuch als Indiz für einen möglichen Betrug vor.Weitere Recherchen ergeben, dass sowohl Kalles Großvater als auch der Kompagnon und frühere Kamerad in demselben Lager untergebracht waren.Auch der bis zum heutigen Zeitpunkt nie eindeutig geklärte Tod des Großvaters wirft ein seltsames Licht auf die gesamte Angelegenheit.

Dave Hutchinson, a recently retired professional project manager has been hired to manage a special secret project on behalf of the Monticello Association, the owner of the Thomas Jefferson Cemetery at Monticello. In July 2022, Hutchinson is meeting with Jonathon Coolidge, the current president of the Monticello Association, to hear the details of the origins and goals of the project. "Nearly 25 years ago," Coolidge started, "a DNA study determined that A JEFFERSON fathered the last son of Sally Hemings, one of Thomas Jefferson's female enslaved persons. But the study could not prove conclusively that Thomas Jefferson himself was the father because Jefferson did not have any male heirs. The Thomas Jefferson Foundation, owners of Monticello, used that study and additional soft evidence like oral histories and Jefferson's presence at Monticello during Hemings' conception times to conclude definitely in 2018 that Jefferson fathered that last son and all of the children of Sally Hemings. Our Association believes it's time to determine scientifically whether or not Jefferson fathered that last son or any of her children. In the last ten years, dental pulp from molar teeth has become a reliable scientific source of DNA material. We have the possibility of obtaining such DNA tooth samples in Jefferson's own cemetery. The question is, can it be done without exhumation of the remains?" After a moment of silence where you could hear a pin drop, Hutchinson gasped and said, "You mean we are going to drill into Jefferson's grave to be near enough to his skull to get a molar tooth for a DNA sample?" And so, the quest for Jefferson's DNA began.

An arsonist is on the loose in Saddler County, Texas, burning down ranch houses with the families still asleep in their beds-including children.
