-The third extract from the casefiles of D.I. Hawes and D.S. Gray-

Edmund Gray was supposed to be on holiday. Well-if a beautiful American private detective invites you to accompany her on a cruise of the Mediterranean, you don't exactly refuse, do you?
But after a sequence of unfortunate events involving a paper napkin, a magnifying glass, and a bad sense of direction, Edmund Gray was back in Oxford, and back on another case.
One attempt had already been made to discover the location of the biggest drugs hideout in Southern England. But after an organised raid on an empty manor house resulted in embarrassment for Oxfordshire Police, the case is turned over to Hawes and Gray to see if they can make any sense of it.

A banker, Mr. Alexander Holder makes a loan of £50,000 to a socially prominent client, who leaves the Beryl Coronet - one of the most valuable public possessions in existence - as security. Holder feels that he must not leave this rare and precious piece of jewelry in his personal safe at the bank, and so he takes it home with him to lock it up there. He is awoken in the night by a noise, enters his dressing room, and is horrified to see his son Arthur with the coronet in his hands. Three beryls are missing from it, and the coronet itself is already broken. In a panic, Holder travels to see Holmes, who agrees to take the case. As Holmes was starting to handle the case, some peculiarities appeared. Arthur is refusing to give a statement of any kind. Holmes then found that even a strong man like him could not break the coronet without making any noise. Holmes begins to believe that Arthur didn't take the beryls. Someone else must have done it. Holmes totally realizes that the failure to resolve the case will result in Mr. Holder's dishonor, and will become a national scandal. Holmes sets about not only reviewing the details that he learns from Holder, but also examining the footprints in the snow outside. Eventually, Holmes solves the mystery, and Holder is flabbergasted to find that his niece Mary was in league with a notorious criminal, Sir George Burnwell, although she is unaware of his character. The two of them escape justice; however, Holmes is convinced that they will receive their punishment in due time.

Chased Through Montana (A BWWM Erotic Romance) by NeveaLane

Blurb: Detective Layla Owens, after shooting a perp during a drug raid, was placed on mandatory administrative leave, with an "extended vacation" according to her old-fashioned captain and lieutenant. An "extended vacation" to think about her position and all the "things" she could do to make the problem "disappear." Apparently catching the bad guy and shooting a drug dealer meant you had a problem-if you were a female cop. Disgusted by the captain's obvious lust for her body, Layla took the leave and hightailed it to Montana. But once there, Layla didn't expect to run in to someone far more dangerous to her body than criminals or the Maryland PD: Chase Daniels. Chase Daniels had been around long enough to know that good women don't just fall in your lap. Women desired him, and he didn't have to run after any woman-except the day Layla Owens showed up at Stone Ridge. From the moment Chase saw her, all bets were off, and he couldn't wait to let this detective to frisk him! Why didn't she drool over him or at least try to get his attention? Chase isn't used to being the one doing the chasing, but he will pursue the elusive but captivating Layla all up and through Montana just to make her his.

What happens when the landlady (Mrs Hudson) suggests Sherlock look for a new flatmate in order to make paying the rent a bit easier on himself? And how does Em and Athena's dynamic with Sherlock change when Doctor John Watson walks into their lives?

Tom Thumb by TiNyDiAmOnD101

-The second extract from the casefiles of D.I. Hawes and D.S. Gray- When D.S. Edmund Gray first arrived on the doorstep of Coates Hill Preparatory School for Boys, I.D. in one hand and takeaway cup of steaming coffee in the other, his initial reaction was how glad he was not to have gone there. His companion, a certain D.I. Cynthia Hawes, however, was more concerned about how easy it looked to climb out if the large, ornate Gothic style windows on the upper floors and make your way safely (ish) down to the ground below. And to D.I. Hawes's intent amusement, not that she would ever admit it to another living soul, it seemed one of the young boys had done just that. Previous Hawes&Gray cases: #1.
