The Transformist by Sidney St. James Pdf
Vincent Gideon is the Transformist -- Requiesee in Pace -- Book 6 Gideon Detective Series Objects have a memory, too. The telephone remembers who answered it. The doorknob on the front door remembers who last turned it. The golden revolver in the story remembers who last fired it… and by whom. It is for Vincent Gideon to learn the language of these objects so that he might hear them when they have anything to say. Vincent Gideon proved himself as the number one detective in the world when he captured Rosenthall, a serial killer in Book 1, Rosenthall, the first novel in the Gideon Detective Series. In Book 3, Gideon Returns, fate is the only way to answer the love affair that came between him and Abigail Hoffman, a German immigrant from Oldenburg, Germany, whose life he saved three times. Fate brought them together, but it would be fate that would tear them apart in Book 6, The Transformist. Two weeks before a long engagement would lead to marriage, Abigail Hoffmann, seen on the front cover, called off her marriage with the famed detective, the Great Vincent Gideon, only to marry Wolfgang Klein, the wealthiest businessman in Portland, Oregon. Why? Could it be a private love letter to Gideon found torn into a thousand pieces in a trash can and pasted back together by Klein's secretary? Then, as one might expect, she confronts Wolfgang and is found within moments holding a smoking revolver in her hand and standing over his body lying in his office chair with bloodstains on his chest, and Abigail's handkerchief gripped in his hand. She swore to the man she really loves that she did not take her husband's life. Gideon loses all focus and must call in Jonathan Kowalski to help save the day, an eighty-year-old detective. Then, as the case unfolds, the butler working for the famed detective is found to have a safe-cracking background in his list of experiences the famed investigator did not know about. Furthermore, there's the giant Chinaman. The suicide off of the 51st Street Bridge, the secret passageways, a missing woman, Ava O'Neill, who can help solve the case of The Transformist! The missing second bullet. Time is clicking by before Abby goes to trial and finds herself walking down a long hallway to the electric chair. The detectives must hurry. Will the District Attorney, Bulldog Dennison, give them enough rope to prove Abby's innocence? Inspector Joe Givens of the Portland Police Department suddenly finds himself in the middle of two aging detectives hot on the trail of an assassin. Again, Sidney St. James' skill for producing furiously paced fiction is evident in the sixth edition of the Gideon Detective Series, as the novel breezes by rapidly.
