Граф Дракула -- самое знаменитое прозаическое произведение писателя Брэма Стокера."Dracula" is a Gothic horror novel by Bram Stoker about a Count named Dracula and his evil ways, based on evidence from the letters and diaries of the subject. Having been invented by Stoker, the character has become something extraordinary in popular imagination, a ghoulish figure perhaps unmistakably recognizable even to those who have never read the novel. This collection features just such a character, Conan Doyle's brilliant and legendary creation Sherlock Holmes, in a brand new telling, offering one possible past life for the famed sleuth and revealing some rarely probed aspect of both his legacy and its stories' origins. Holmes now stars in this dramatically poised tale whose opening leaves readers breathless with anticipation, as a cryptic message drops into exclusive possession of one Detective Sergeant Sam Hardy en route to his first case as the new Consulting Detective for Scotland Yard. And then ... Watson travels the world as Franklin Blake, an international fraud investigator with a certain resemblance to Sherlock Holmes. He holds the clue to a fortune in gold bullion and must discover the murderer of Wayne Ashley, a rich Canadian businessman and patron of Sherlock David Lestrade and James Уотсона, Superintendent and Detective of Scotland Yard respectively.Their new case quickly becomes entangled whatever the case brings them next-a triple murder that Watson makes his enemy. What seems to be a case of isolated highway robbery suddenly unravels into a complex web of conspiracy that threatens the survival of a struggling democracy: all the clues leading to the case are hidden away in theip classic adventures. But will Alan Gutman, the young filmmaker making his feature debut, turn such a plentiful supply of comic gold into something more than a variety show for end-times jaded movie audience members; or perhaps his continually thwarted attempts to see the inside workings of Tabloid TV and Mary Berry will create more problems for both Britain and the whole modern world.Che ever consistent Kathy Reichs proves she really is "The Doctor," not just a good name for a weirdly alluring author, thanks to FBI Special Agent Det. Alex Cross' almost nightmarish journey to identify a serial killer among his acquaintances while seemingly harmless interactions hit the books too close to home for either him or her to stomach.All these novelizations join together in one conspicuous endeavor: to make familiar characters original, exotic and engaging once more, weaving new yarns around familiar plots and genres into a tantalizing cocktail of confounding emotion.Adventures as intense and as engrossing as their initial offerings, these thirteen companion volumes promise to fan their respective characters' flames and illuminate newer prospects of discovery, romance and intrigue for loyal female and male readers, along with any novices coming for the first time.One only needs to know the name of the title character to realize they have a thing for historical fiction. A place tales that channel the magnificence of an era or its heroes need not be restricted primarily to the halls of regal palaces and arcane laboratories, for they also hold a promising potential for lighthearted drama. Tony Hillerman's Yellow Brotherhood series, perched on the crest of the Grand Canyon like a guardian guardian, welcomes us into the cramped and day-to-day reality of Chinatown's Gold Rush era, a forum for characters the likes of Tommy Cho, Wah Kum and Tai Fuangeng to deliver not only preposterous plot twists but also well-rounded personalities and strongly grounded settings
