Have you ever wished for a miracle? Come on now. Of course you have. You know you have. For, which of us on this planet, atheists included, has not at one time or another, and with the heart of a beggar, pleaded, entreated, prayed, even bargained for a miracle of one sort or another to be granted, whether for ourselves or someone else? Now, let us never confuse miracles with magic. Magic is just that - hocus-pocus, fake, sham, not real, no matter how impressive and baffling. Again, let us not confuse miracles with favours - favours from the Almighty and favourite saints, all part and parcel of the popular novena culture of Catholics, and prayed for daily by the faithful for receipt of all manner of personal intentions. Nor are we talking the "Wow! How did that happen?-It's-gotta-be-a-miracle!" kind of miracle. No, no, no. At the risk of sounding redundant, we're talking real miracles here!
But, Dr. Adam Bell is surely not confused. Oh no. As Chief Investigator, he knows the difference only too well. After all, 'miracles' are his official business at the Bureau of Scientific Scepticism (B.O.S.S.), and his good nature and intellectual curiosity soon cause him to delve more deeply than required into the anatomy and character of miracles - all in keeping with the bureau's secret agenda. This happens not a moment too soon as it turns out, when without warning his own dire need for a miracle transforms his usual impartial, objective, routine work with the federal government bureau into an inordinately personal, life-and-death chase. Adam is also, of necessity, himself inherently transformed from the quiet, plodding, somewhat hesitating investigator, unused to police work, into a man on a mission, a father-to-be with a cause, where time is of the essence, and there's no room for error... Join him in the chase of his life!
About the Author
Eliot H. Bailey was born on Wednesday August 10th 1983 at 3 a.m. on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Lucia - an island that has produced two Nobel laureates. His parents, both educators, have devoted their lives to teaching the arts. Eliot was named after T.S. Eliot - "one 'l', one 't'" - as he was wont, from the tender age of eighteen months, to inform all and sundry who might ask his name. Eliot was a curious child who started talking when he was about ten months. As a young boy, he asked questions galore and spouted creative ideas. Being British (as well as St Lucian), he would spend his summers back in his father's homeland of England visiting family and, in his teens, chose to live there on his own for a year. It was during this time that he was moved to chronicling his days and jotting down his thoughts on life and the parade of characters that crossed his path. Much of this writing was done on the spur of the moment as he sat in train stations or on park benches.

The year was 1925, and New Orleans thrived in the paradox of its own unique heartbeat, the rhythmic pulse of jazz echoing through the narrow streets of the French Quarter, coiling around the wrought-iron balconies like the tendrils of a beguiling serpent. Gas lamps, flickering like distant stars, painted the cobblestone alleys with a sepia glow, casting shadows that danced to the soulful tunes pouring out of smoky jazz clubs. The city's heartbeat was jazz, an audible heartbeat that resonated from the pulsating heart of Basin Street to the dimly lit corners of Storyville. Trumpets wailed, saxophones wept, and the seductive melodies of the blues seeped into the very air, carrying the promise of hedonistic nights and clandestine rendezvous. Speakeasies, those secret sanctuaries of vice, flourished beneath the surface, hidden behind unmarked doors and guarded by watchful eyes.
The Prohibition may have sought to silence the clinking of glasses, but in New Orleans, the clinking persisted, masked by the lively chatter of patrons enjoying the forbidden nectar of bootlegged spirits. The whispers of the Mississippi River, flowing with the untold tales of the city, mingled with the melodies that spilled onto the streets. Women in flapper dresses and men in sharp suits wove through the crowds, their laughter and hushed conversations adding to the vibrant tapestry of New Orleans nightlife. In this city of decadence and intrigue, where voodoo queens held court in dimly lit corners and the scent of gumbo lingered in the air like a bewitching perfume, secrets weren't buried; they were shared like lovers' whispers in the dark.
The air in Sam Malone's office was thick with the acrid smell of cigarette smoke, the languid trails hovering like ghosts in the dim lamplight. Malone, a man well-acquainted with shadows, sat behind his worn mahogany desk, nursing a glass of bourbon that had seen better days. The flickering neon sign outside his window said: Private Investigator. [more]

In the year 1875, a mysterious event occurred in the heart of Covent Garden that left the residents utterly perplexed. As the sun began to rise, its gentle rays cast a warm glow on the cobblestone streets. Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant private investigator, stood on the corner of Covent Garden, his sharp eyes surveying the crowd. With his unruly dark hair and piercing blue eyes, he seemed like a man who held the secrets of the world within his mind. Suddenly, a gasp rippled through the gathering crowd. All eyes turned towards the heart of Covent Garden, where the famous theater stood proudly for years. But something was amiss. The Covent Garden Theater had vanished without a trace! As if plucked from existence, the grand structure that had once hosted mesmerizing plays and captivating performances was now replaced by an empty space. Confusion and disbelief swept over the onlookers like a tidal wave. Holmes, his curiosity piqued, made his way towards the crowd. The air crackled with an electric tension as whispers of speculation filled the hushed atmosphere. A huddle of theater-goers, their faces etched with astonishment, murmured amongst themselves, seeking an explanation for the inexplicable. Holmes surveyed the area, his keen senses attuned to every minute detail. Pounding footsteps echoed through the streets as the local constables arrived, their uniforms crisp and their expressions filled with equal bewilderment. His eyes narrowed, Holmes knelt down, examining the spot where the theater once stood. Not a single remnant, not even a brick or a piece of rubble, provided a clue to its disappearance. It was as if the Covent Garden Theater had been put under a spell, vanishing into thin air. The detective's mind whirled with possibilities. Could it be an elaborate prank? A carefully crafted illusion? Or perhaps there was a sinister force at work, hiding behind the veil of mystery. Holmes stood up, a determined glint in his eyes. He knew that uncovering the truth behind the vanishing theater would be no easy task. But with his razor-sharp intellect and cunning deductions, he was ready to embark on this new investigation. The residents of Covent Garden watched in awe as Holmes strode purposefully through the crowd, leaving behind a sense of hope tinged with trepidation. They knew that their beloved detective would not rest until he unraveled the secret of Covent Garden. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of a case that would challenge Holmes's wits like never before. The secret of Covent Garden awaited him, and only time would tell if he could solve this perplexing mystery. [more]
