On the night of April 12, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland, one of the greatest disasters of all time took place - the Unsinkable Titanic struck an iceberg and sank with a horrendous loss of life.

“The German ambassador, madam,” said Sherlock Holmes, “is reputed to be brilliant and very difficult.” “My dear, Mr. Holmes,” she said. “He is a man. Like all men when they are drunk and in the throes of ecstasy, he will be easy.” “I must warn you, he has a reputation amongst men who have encountered him of being dangerous.” “And a reputation amongst women of falling asleep immediately after, if you know what I mean.” Sherlock Holmes blushed ever so slightly. “Very well then, I shall expect your return with the document in forty-eight hours.” He slid a small ...

Kill a man because of his hat? Ridiculous. But it happened. In New York City. Twice. The Big Apple saw countless absurd events during the 1920s. The most moronic took place in September 1922, when gangs of young men--and a few women—roamed the streets of the financial district and the better-off neighborhoods, and knocked the straw hats off those who dared to wear them after the 15th of the month. Many straw-hatters were bullied. Some were assaulted. A few were beaten. And two were murdered. All because of their hats. That’s what the police said. Beaten to death by anonymous thugs. Or ...

I pulled on my dressing gown and stumbled into the front room of 221B Baker Street. A young and exceptionally beautiful woman sat the sofa. “I have come to see you, Mr. Holmes, because the members of my family are conspiring to murder me.” “Are they now?” said Holmes. “And why would they want to do that?” “Because I am young, beautiful and brilliant; because I control the family estate following the recent death of my father; and because I utterly ...
