Bog O’Mullet’s story is loosely based on a journey he made in 1975-6 when he travelled through Europe on a Triumph motorcycle, all his possessions in a yellow plastic bag strapped across the bike. An interest in computers later led to his career designing and building large IT systems for industry. Today he remembers the seventies as a golden age, the last decade before computerisation enslaved us. Now retired, he tends his collection of ‘70s superbikes and writes. This is his first novel. “The Night Palace is startlingly original. A spiritual noir— part globetrotting thriller, part, psychological drama— the novel follows Henry, its captivating protagonist, on his adventures (and internal, soul-seeking journey) across Europe as he finds himself entangled in bizarre and chilling plots, enmeshed in a strange world of mysterious characters, and forced to face his past and future, as each choice he makes unlocks new doors of understanding. Author Bog O’Mullet expertly blends romance, danger, and philosophy, portraying the inner-life of a man embarked on an odyssey of hard-won change; the novel has such a wide breadth of characters and narrative intrigues which elevate the story into a gripping parable that resonates into universality. The prose is sharp and fast, Mr. O’Mullet painting wild, vivid locales and portraying the poetic depths of the soul with an artful ease that draws the reader into the novel and holds them there with twists, turns, and profound truths. A stunning work. I highly recommend The Night Palace.” —Charles Asher MFA, Phi Beta Kappa Reviews If you liked Kurt Vonnegut (Breakfast of Champions) and Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) back in the seventies, then you’ll enjoy The Night Palace today.

Elegance and wealth. Privilege and politics. The extravagance of the Butterfly Palace overwhelmed Lily’s senses and nearly smothered her painful memories. She pushed away her misgivings . . . She was perfectly safe in this huge house. Austin, Texas—1904: Abandoned by the love of her life and still mourning the loss of her mother, Lily Donaldson has turned her back on the pain and come to Austin for a fresh start, working for the Marshall family as a kitchen maid in their luxurious mansion, the Butterfly Palace. The tasks before her are legion, and her mistress less than pleasant, but at least Lily’s new life will be, if nothing else, distracting. But one night, while serving at a dinner party, Lily recognizes the man who abandoned her, Andy, her liaison from the livery stable, the blacksmith’s son . . . sitting among the distinguished guests. Though he recognizes her, Andy does not acknowledge her aloud, and Lily is left reeling, flabbergasted, and irate. But before she can get an explanation, the path of the Servant Girl Killer swerves very close to the Butterfly Palace, sowing terror among the maids. Having come to Austin to start anew, Lily suddenly feels trapped in a spider web. How can she know who to trust in a house where lies come dressed in fine suits and deceit in silk gowns the colors of butterfly wings? “This story about the importance of having faith, especially in your darkest hour, is recommended for fans of Amanda Quick and Sandra Brown and for readers who enjoy romantic suspense and historical fiction.” —Library Journal

Why Meiringen? Sherlock Holmes readers have always asked, why did Holmes go to Meiringen? And did Moriarty follow him there? And if Holmes did not die in the Falls, what happened next? The familiar stories tell us little. For the first time this book gives us the answers we always wanted. Johanna Rieke's careful and detailed research, and understanding of the region, show what really happened, and how Holmes escaped, to reappear three years later in London. If Moriarty is now dead, however, his evil work goes on. In London, Holmes and Watson, drawn into an apparently meaningless murder in the Crystal Palace in South London, , soon recognise that much more is at stake. How are a greengrocer's shop, a dockyard pub in East London, a tattooed seaman and a mysterious German all involved, and who is Moriarty’s shadowy successor? Only Holmes and Watson, in a desperate search and by sharp deduction, can hope, at the last moment, to foil a disaster. Can they prevent many innocent deaths, and protect Britain’s standing in the world? Even as the story ends, they know that their fight against evil will go on, and that Moriarty’s successors are always alert, a constant threat. As this exciting book makes clear, Holmes’ task never ends.
