SWEENEY TODD The String of Pearls: The Original Victorian Classic (Dover Horror Classics)
by James Malcolm Rymer Thomas Peckett Prest Prof. Rohan McwilliamIn the early years of the Victorian age, a newly literate class of readers turned to "penny dreadfuls" for escapist fun. Blood-curdling tales, published in installments and costing only a penny, offered gripping episodes of romance, mystery, and horror. The notorious penny dreadful Sweeney Todd: The String of Pearls recounts a young woman's desperate search for her missing sailor sweetheart-a quest that ends in a Fleet Street barber shop, where the proprietor has an unsavory connection with a local baker and the secret ingredient to her delicious meat pies.Authorship of this tale, which was printed anonymously in 1846-47 in eighteen weekly installments, remains in doubt. The story's serial publication ensured an abundance of cliffhangers, and its dark humor made it an especially appealing source for the long-running Broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. A delight for fans of the modern play, this gripping yarn remains a treat for readers of Victorian mysteries.

When the gold rush begins, a gang of white outlaws seizes the ferry from the local Yuma tribesmen, who have operated the crossing for decades.

The Sweepstakes Murders
by J. J. ConningtonThe Sweepstakes Murders, first published in 1931, is the 7th book in author J. J. Connington’s series featuring chief-constable Sir Clinton Driffield. From the dustjacket: “Mr. Connington’s new detective story opens at the end of a bridge-party, when one of the players suggests the formation of a small syndicate to have a flutter in a coming sweepstake. Winnings are to be pooled and divided among the members. Most of the bridge-players join, on terms proposed and accepted on the spur of the moment. A syndicate ticket wins a big prize. Before the money is collected, however, one of the syndicate dies, apparently by foul play. Under the agreement, his share is to be divided among the remaining ticket-holders; and suspicion naturally falls first on those who are certain to profit by the death. Personal characteristics, possible motives, alibis and circumstantial evidence provide the detectives with an intricate problem of clues and personalities.”
