The Mystery Surrounding Watson's Lost Dispatch Box
When young Joseph Adler enters a small Dorchester bookstore to sell a rare old copy of The Strand Magazine - within its pages is discovered what appears to be a sheet torn from the diary of Sherlock Holmes' friend, Doctor Watson. The implications are incredible. When Adler is found dead, it is up to bookstore owner Thomas Jones, joined by his young friend, Juan Marcano, to search for clues and solve the murder in the style of their hero, Sherlock Holmes. But the older man, nicknamed Viejo, by the cocky younger Juan, have taken on more than they can handle, as they deal with tough cops and tougher drug dealers to solve the case. The discovery of an old tin dispatch box that apparently belonged to Watson leads to a wild case full of mystery, murder and revenge. It is a rousing tale in the best tradition of the Great Detective with a new team of amateur sleuths, in a novel that captures the spirit of Doyle's classic Holmes stories in a modern setting.
Four Plays about Disability
This book is comprised of four-esteemed plays for undergraduate drama performance exploring the world of disability through the backdrop of history. Wellclose Square revisits the Whitechapel murders to explore the origins of criminal genetic engineering; Unsex Me Here uncovers the hidden Nazi programme of genocide against the disabled; Gnarled explores the life and times of a hideously disabled prostitute in the Victorian era—who survived into her 80s, and Cripplegate, recently zoomed with distinguished professional actors, is a personal account of disabled trial and triumph. Together, the plays offer students and general readers alike, a riveting panorama of disabled life, characterised by Joyce Carol Oates as “the triumph of twisted”.
