H. Maynard and M. P. N. Sims.  I bought this for 50 cents at a library book sale and got my money's worth, although I was rather disappointed about 20 pages from the end when I realized there was no way this was going to be all wrapped up in one novel - and sure enough, it wasn't.  I wasn't intrigued enough to want to read any further books in this series.Locked Rooms, by Laurie R. King.  Eighth in a series of novels about Sherlock Holmes and his second assistant, Mary Russell.  I read the first 5 but haven't seen books 6 or 7, but realized that the likelihood was that they didn't have to be read in sequence to be enjoyed, and I was right.  A pleasant read.The Art of Detection, by Laurie R. King.  Her other mystery series, featuring a modern-day police detective in San Francisco.  I bought this one because it featured the death of a Holmes fan and the possibility of a lost Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but I won't be in a big hurry to read any more of this series.  Extremely preachy.Smoke Screen, by Vincent Patrick.  Part heist novel, part spy thriller, part bacteriological terrorist plot, this was awesome!  I'll definitely be looking into what else this guy has written.Johnathan</blockquote>
