Houdini and Doyle the Return of Jack: A Houdini / Doyle mystery
HOUDINI AND DOYLE: THE RETURN OF JACK A Houdini / Doyle Mystery London, 1923. A series of grisly murders shakes Whitechapel once again-killings horrifyingly similar to those committed by Jack the Ripper 35 years ago. The victims, the brutality, even the chilling signatures... all seem to point to one terrifying question: Has Jack the Ripper returned? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle-creator of Sherlock Holmes and passionate spiritualist-believes something dark and otherworldly may have been awakened. Plagued by guilt, he fears he may have inadvertently opened a door that should have remained closed. To stop the carnage, Doyle turns to a man who understands deception better than anyone: master illusionist and escape artist Harry Houdini-a fierce skeptic and relentless enemy of trickery and spiritual fraud. Joined by a daring woman police constable and two seasoned detectives, Houdini and Doyle combine opposite forces-logic and belief, illusion and intuition-to hunt a killer who may not be entirely of this world. As the mysterious murders grow more brutal, the team must confront a terrifying possibility: Jack's evil didn't die. It waited. A thrilling blend of historical fiction, paranormal mystery, detective suspense, and real-life legends, HOUDINI AND DOYLE: THE RETURN OF JACK explores the thin line between illusion and truth, and how far one must go to stop a nightmare reborn.

Mestarietsivä Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmesin luoja oli salapoliisi itsekin. Aki Ryynänen kertoo kirjassaan Mestarietsivä Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, kuinka kuuluisan kirjailijan menestys johdatti tämän ratkomaan rikoksia luomansa salapoliisihahmon tapaan. Käsikirjoittaja Aki Ryynänen kiinnostui kirjailija Sir Arthur Conan Doylen elämänvaiheista tutkittuaan viktoriaanisen Britannian rikosuutisointia. Conan Doylen kirjallinen ura Sherlock Holmes -tarinoiden luojana oli vertaansa vailla oleva menestystarina, ja poikkeuksellinen oli myös kirjailijan rooli todellisten rikosten selvittäjänä. Conan Doylen elämäntarinassayhdistyvät kirjallinen intohimo ja totuuden selvittäminen, oli kyse sitten lääketieteestä, rikoksista tai henkimaailman saloista. Sherlock Holmesin etevyys sai suuren yleisön uskomaan, että myös Conan Doylen täytyi olla mestarietsivä. Niinpä häntä pyydettiin tutkimaan mysteerejä ja rikoksia, ja syvästi oikeudentajuisena miehenä hän joissain tapauksissa suostuikin auttamaan. Kirja seuraa erityisesti kahta suurta oikeustapausta: Englannin verisille nummille sijoittunutta George Edaljin tapausta, jossa ennakkoluulot ja poliisin virheet johtivat lähes kohtalokkaaseen oikeusmurhaan, sekä Oscar Slaterin murhajuttua, jossa viranomaisten väärinkäytökset veivät viattoman miehen tuhoon. Molemmissa tapauksissa apuun kutsuttiin Conan Doyle, joka tarkoilla tutkimuksillaan ja analyyttisellä päättelyllään paljasti poliisitutkinnan puutteet ja selvitti totuuden - tosielämän Lestradeista ja Moriartyista huolimatta. Aki Ryynänen (s. 1983) on joensuulainen tv-käsikirjoittaja, joka on työskennellyt myös radiojuontajana ja käsikirjoittamisen opettajana. Hän on ollut Sherlock Holmes -fani nuoresta asti. Ryynänen on pitkään perehtynyt viktoriaanisen ajan rikoksiin, historiallisiin murhajuttuihin ja niihin liittyviin yhteiskunnallisiin epäkohtiin. Mestarietsivä Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on hänen ensimmäinen tietokirjansa.
