Sherlock Holmes is confronted by the greatest fear of law enforcement, the perfect crime. He alone realizes that murder has been committed in a small lakeside village in rural Wales.

Holmes' deductive powers and creative strategizing are put to their sternest test. The denouement will shock the reader.
An editor in the offices of the Strand Magazine has received a challenge: Holmes' exploits as reported by Watson present only one side of the coin. There are persons working on the other side of the law whose intelligence and planning are equal to Holmes'. Moreover, the crimes they commit are "Such works of art" that authorities don't detect any crime has been committed. The author of the challenge encloses a short story showing how this perfect crime has been committed. Once that murder was verified by Holmes, the plotter announces a planned crime that will throw England into chaos--killing the Queen, the Prime Minister and Sherlock Holmes!

What did it mean to believe in alchemy in early modern England? In this book, Bruce Janacek considers alchemical beliefs in the context of the writings of Thomas Tymme, Robert Fludd, Francis Bacon, Sir Kenelm Digby, and Elias Ashmole. Rather than examine alchemy from a scientific or medical perspective, Janacek presents it as integrated into the broader political, philosophical, and religious upheavals of the first half of the seventeenth century, arguing that the interest of these elite figures in alchemy was part of an understanding that supported their national—and in some cases royalist—loyalty and theological orthodoxy. Janacek investigates how and why individuals who supported or were actually placed at the traditional center of power in England’s church and state believed in the relevance of alchemy at a time when their society, their government, their careers, and, in some cases, their very lives were at stake.
