Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Bedeviled Foot
The Adventure of the Bedeviled Foot is at once an exciting prequel to as well as a sequel to The Adventure of the Devils Foot-Sherlock Holmes strangest case. Holmes and Watson were supposed to be on vacation of sorts amongst the Cornish greenery and archaeological treasures, since it had become clear enough that the pressure of the detectives investigations had taken a toll on his nerves, and a few days away from London in the country was prescribed. But their excursion was rudely interrupted when murders most heinous came to light. The so-called Devils Foot was a deadly substance of unknown origin that kills when inhaled. The earlier story directed our attention to the unflawed greenery of the Cornish countryside. The Bedeviled Foot finds Holmes on the African veldt combatting the Devils own legions of marauding little buggers, where he encounters the root of that curiously toxic devils foot for the first time.
SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME
Umberto Eco, author of The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum, said: It's only publishers and some journalists who believe that people want simple things. People are tired of simple things. They want to be challenged. SEE THE GREAT DETECTIVE MATCH WITS WITH THE SON OF GOD ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD. SEE HIS COVER BLOWN BY THE MOTHER OF GOD AT THE CRUCIBLE OF LIFE. SEE HIM SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF GOD AT THE DAWN OF TIME. With this trilogy, Thomas Kent Miller is for the first time publishing in one volume the wide variety of millennia- and centuries-old lost manuscripts that he has serendipitously unearthed over 30 years. These writings are all linked by their featuring characters introduced by H. Rider Haggard, prime mover of the lost race literary genre, over the course of sixteen books written from 1885 through 1927 and, to a lesser extent, indeed, only referenced obliquely, The Great Detective, over three decades!

The Sussex Beekeeper at the Dawn of Time
The Sussex Beekeeper at the Dawn of Time is an unconventional and breath-taking tour de force that flirts with the crossover and steampunk genres. The book knits together a transcribed oral memoir, newspaper clippings, and myriad letters and journal pages from across two millennia, much of it held together by the pithy comments (in the form of short notations on the edges of a quarter-century-old yellowed journal) of a certain elderly beekeeper residing in Sussex, England. While comparatively few, these notes are nonetheless the essential marble skeleton on which the whole denouement and structure of the book hangs. In a sense, much of the book comprises a straightforward objective record of the excavation of "historical" minutiae and “forgotten” manuscripts. But then those mildewed scraps of parchment, paper, and scrolls are assembled into something far greater than the sum of their parts. The objective reportage plus the finished assemblage comprises the novel.
Sherlock Holmes on the Roof of the World
Holmes framed for murder! Who is the mysterious Issa? The sounds of running and men crying out came closer. Suddenly Sigerson's door burst open and an army of yellow- and maroon-clad police monks fell upon us, dragging us out into the street without so much as a word of explanation, through the mud and dung and then east across the Bridge of the Pleiades and on to the Jo-Kang, the Tibetan cathedral, the Holy of Holies of all Buddist Asia, then along several corridors and down numerous staircases and finally we found ourselves in the presence of the High Regent himself, the fourteen-year-old Dalai Lama! You are holding one of the rare stories to come to light involving "Sigerson," the name Sh...
The Great Detective at the Crucible of Life
Across Ethiopia and beyond, Sherlock Holmes encounters both the hideous and the divine, ripping asunder the fragile veil separating us from worlds unknown-all while in the company of the renowned Allan Quatermain. The last of Allan Quatermain's true African adventures to appear, The Treasure of the Lake, was published nearly a century ago in 1926. Those who lusted to vicariously accompany Quatermain on new perilous treks into the vast reaches of the "Dark Continent" (as they had done to King Solomon's Mines) had no choice but to remain disappointed. UNTIL NOW! Recently found amongst some obscure papers at Brown University, this new manuscript chronicles a complex and inspired quest headed by...
