How does Sherman Oliver Holmes succeed in finding and solving every crime? It's elementary--he's the great-great-grandson of Sherlock, with the same finely honed powers of deduction! Sherman just showed up in Capital City one day, wearing a deerstalker cap; though Police Sergeant Gunter Watson didn't quite believe the outlandish tale, he quickly learned to trust the newcomer's instincts. Come along and watch Sherman's sixth sense in action as he uncovers thieves, murderers, and all-around bad guys and test your own detective skills against this modern master of sleuthing.* Someone snatched a million-dollar painting! Who was it?* A man is slain while wandering through a maze. Can you find your way through the thicket of suspects and name the killer?* It's foul ball when some young baseball players discover a burglary...or did one of them commit the crime himself?And, in case Holmes has you stumped, the answers appear at the end.

Solve the crimes...if you can. Armchair detectives who love a baffling mystery will find just what they crave in this collection of wickedly devious whodunits. These are stories where the writer plays skillfully with the reader's mind and where the pivotal piece of evidence appears at first to make no sense--even though it must. Match wits with some stupendously clever sleuths (including Sherlock Holmes) on their cases and try to figure out the puzzles, clues, and marvelous twists that unlock the mysteries. Every story is brain-busting fun.

The new collection from 'one of America's most legendary living poets' (Ocean Vuong), written in the drive to fall in love with the world again not as it was, but as it is when the hammer approached we thought is that thing coming this way Breathing, moving, living on the page, CAConrad's exhilarating work is centred on the (Soma)tic ritual, their celebrated practice which draws on nature, crystals, meditation and interactions with strangers to create an 'extreme present' of unfettered creativity from which poems can emerge. Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return gathers the results of a single new ritual, focused on fellow animals who have found ways to thrive in the Anthropocene, and spanning environments from Seattle - a city built in the midst of an abundant nontropical rainforest - to the Mojave Desert. The poet receives gifts from a crow; associates different parts of their body with nine different species encountered in the desert; and joins a woman each morning in feeding rats in the streets of Rome, taking turns looking out for the police. Written with urgency, hope, anger and joy, the poems that result are an ode to survival in a world that humanity has poisoned, and a testament to a love that knows no by-laws.
