Two, To One, Be
￥58.76
In 2009, a few inspired individuals took notice of the plight of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's former home 'Undershaw' in Hindhead, Surrey and determined that it was up to them to do something about it. Banding together, they found a way to create a window for spreading their passion and energy outwards to the world around them. In the years that have followed, that window has grown into a vast portal, through which thousands of devoted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes fans from all over the world have gained (and seized) the opportunity to have a very tangible impact on the preservation of Doyle's legacy. For those involved, Undershaw is infinitely more than 'just a house'. The purpose of this book is to hold a proverbial hand lens to that deeper meaning in hopes of capturing some small part of the deep emotion it represents. In the pages that follow, you will find an eclectic collection of essays, original artwork, and photography created by supporters and ambassadors from a wide range of countries, all of which in some way address the same set of questions: What is it about Undershaw that has the power to drive such a wide range of people from all over the globe (most of whom have never met one another in person) to join hands in support of protecting something that for many is thousands of miles away in a foreign country? How has the campaign or the property itself touched the lives of those who have come into contact with it and what sorts of experiences have people had as a result? Our intention here is to create a kind of insightful snapshot of these things as both a form of reverent acknowledgement for the efforts that have been put forth thus far, as well as a source of inspiration for the future.
Charlie Milverton and other Sherlock Holmes Stories
￥58.76
A collection of five present-day Sherlock Holmes stories that poke gentle fun at the idiosyncrasies of modern life - not to mention the eccentric detective and his world-weary friend who are at the heart of the action. Stuck in a dysfunctional marriage and the job from hell, aspiring writer Doctor John H Watson battles against the angst of a midlife crisis whilst being drawn further into the individual world of his friend - the irascible, difficult but brilliant consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. Each story is based directly on an adventure from the original work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but updated with a modern-day twist. Instead of the foggy cobbled streets and hansom cabs of Victorian London, we get over-paid footballers, pop-stars, a glamour model, the tabloid press and social media. But friendship and Holmes' unique science of deduction remain central to each story.

"Wendy Tynes él? tévém?sorban csalja lépre a pedofíliával vádolt Dan Mercert. ?m k?zvetlen bizonyítékok híján a bíróság ejti az ügyet. Mercer azonban b?n?s marad az emberek szemében - s így szinte általános megelégedést okoz, amikor egy áldozat édesapja meggyilkolja a férfit. A perverz pedofil meghalt, az ügy lezárult. Egyedül Wendy nem tud belet?r?dni a t?rténtekbe. Hamarosan kiderül, hogy Dan Mercer egykori egyetemi szobatársai egyt?l egyig botrányba keveredtek, és akárcsak Mercer esetében, mindannyiszor egy névtelen blogbejegyzés vagy e-mail tette t?nkre az életüket... ?Ebben a pillanatban kivágódott a lakókocsi ajtaja. Wendy hátraugrott, a szúnyoghálós ajtó kis híján eltalálta. Símaszkos alak rontott be. Jobb kezében pisztoly. Dan felemelte a karját, és oldalra lépett. - Ne... A símaszkos férfi célba vette a fegyverrel. Wendy ijedten hátrált, minél messzebb az ajtótól, a símaszkos pasas pedig habozás nélkül meghúzta a ravaszt. Nem volt figyelmeztetés, nem kiáltotta Mercernek, hogy ne mozduljon, vagy kezeket fel - semmi ilyesmi. Csak a l?vés gyors, szisszen? d?reje. Dan megp?rdült, és arccal el?re a padlóra zuhant. Wendy felsikoltott. Hasra vetette magát a kopott kanapé m?g?tt, mintha az megvédhetné. A kanapé alól látta Dan mozdulatlan testét a padlón. Vértócsa gy?lt a feje k?ré, jókora foltot hagyva a sz?nyegen. Gyilkosa keresztülvágott a szobán. Nem sietett. Lazán lépkedett, mintha csak a parkban sétálgatna. Megállt Dan mellett, és a pisztoly cs?vét a fejére irányította." HARLAN COBEN napjaink egyik legnépszer?bb krimiírója. Regényeit a m?faj gy?ngyszemeiként tartják számon, eddig negyven kül?nb?z? nyelvre fordították le, és k?zel 50 millió példányt adtak el bel?lük világszerte."

The Judas Gate (Sean Dillon Series, Book 18)
￥58.66
Treachery has a price, in the mesmerizing Sean Dillon thriller from the Sunday Times-bestselling author. Helmand Province, Afghanistan: a lone convoy edges its way towards a deserted mountain village, led by US Army Rangers in Mastiff APVs. Stopping to search the area, the Rangers are hit by a massive roadside bomb, and as half the patrol lie dead or injured, the rest are ambushed with military precision. A nearby British medical team responds to the call for back-up, but all are slaughtered when their Chinook helicopter is blown up. The ambush is bad, but what's worse is that, amidst the battlefield chatter picked up by Major Giles Roper, not all the Taliban voices are Afghan – some are English, and the commander bears an Irish accent; he even names himself 'Shamrock'. Why would he commit such an atrocity, but more importantly can he be found before he masterminds another? Sean Dillon is put in charge of hunting the traitor down, with all the resources of the 'Prime Minister's private army' at his disposal. The fast and furious plot sweeps the reader from Pakistan to Algeria to London to Paris to Ireland, with many deaths along the way. The stakes are already high for Dillon and company then a familiar, deadly face makes a dramatic reappearance. This time, Dillon will not only be going to war – the war will be coming to him, and he will learn that this Judas has al-Qaeda on his side…
