Description
Members of an underground crime ring are being murdered. Holmes' investigation leads him to the beautiful Mrs. Pyke and to a stately ancestral home -- complete with screams in the foggy night, cloaked figures moving through secret passages, and a sinister Asian butler. The story bears little resemblance to the original A. Conan Doyle mystery.

Description
Sam Spade is a partner in a private-eye firm who finds himself hounded by police when his partner is killed while tailing a man. The woman who asked his partner to follow the man turns out to be someone who is not what she says she is, and is really involved in something to do with the 'Maltese Falcon', a gold-encrusted life-sized statue of a falcon, the only one of its kind.
