Cinema has had a hugely influential role on global culture in the twentieth century at multiple levels: social, political, and educational. The part of British cinema in this has been controversial—often derided as a whole, but also vigorously celebrated, especially in terms of specific films and film-makers. In this Very Short Introduction, Charles Barr considers films and filmmakers, and studios and sponsorship, against the wider view of changing artistic, socio-political, and industrial climates over the decades of the twentieth century.

A deliberately alternative-canon Sherlock Holmes novel. After Dr. John Watson's death, his final manuscript shocks the world with an unthinkable accusation: Sherlock Holmes was Jack the Ripper. The evidence is intimate, horrifying, and apparently conclusive. But Professor James Moriarty refuses to let the verdict stand. Writing from the shadows, he offers the only defence Holmes can no longer make: a confession. The Whitechapel murders were Moriarty's.

He writes his own case notes. He just doesn’t call them that. London, 1888. Dr. John Carrow keeps a Mile End Road practice above a chemist’s shop and a pocket-book containing the names of patients he has failed to save. As women begin dying in Whitechapel and the newspapers reach for a name for their killer, Carrow begins writing something else: rules. Rules about mercy. Restraint. Selection. Procedure. Rules he tells himself prove he is still in control.

SHERLOCK HOLMES takes it upon himself to investigate the Ripper murders and bring the killer to justice... but uncovering the truth reveals a conspiracy with Royal implications. Does the play The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde have a connection to the killings?

Bugger It is the unfiltered, deeply human memoir of Stephen J Scott — RAF Regiment veteran, widower, single father, and a man who has lived through conflict, loss, love, and the long road back to himself.

In The Purity of the Turf, Holmes and Watson encounter criminals that would confound any other detection team, from smugglers and international spies to a very early copycat killer in the days when newspapers were the only true mass media. These stories span Holmes' career from his work as a consulting detective far from the scene of the crime to his affinity for being right in the middle of the action, and even include encounters with G.K. Chesterton's famed sleuth Father Brown.

At first glance, there’s no evidence of a crime. No signs of force. No clear suspect. But something about it doesn’t sit right. As Walker digs deeper, small inconsistencies begin to emerge — subtle details that suggest the victims didn’t leave by choice after all. Waiting. Watching. Choosing the perfect moment. Because what better place to disappear…than somewhere no one is really looking? A place built on movement. On anonymity. On trust. And at the centre of it all is someone who doesn’t see themselves as a killer… But as a saviour.
