WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE TO LIVE A SECOND OR EVEN THIRD LIFETIME?
... THE CRIME OF TWO CENTURIES ... MYSTERY, TERROR, ADVENTURE, INTRIGUE ...
THE PURSUIT OF A MEDICAL MYSTERY THAT THREATENS TO OVERTAKE OUR PRESENT-DAY SOCIETY AND DESTROY IT.
When a 100-year-old diary "is found among the possessions of a Dr. John H. Watson, and the criminal's identity" (Jack the Ripper) "becomes known to Dave Conway, the narrator of Bloodguilty, our icons are in for a smashing. Raymond Thor deliberaqtely mingles fiction, fact, future and past in this tale of crime and medical technology that connects 1892 London with present-day Los Angeles." -Publishers Weekly
"wide-roving action, and breathless sensationalism" -Library Journal
"Like a House of Mirrors curves reality, this thriller bends the calendar. It thrusts a modern-day Los Angeles snoop and writer into Jack the Ripper's London of 1888, then back again. The plot is alive with intrigue. ... Throughout this thriller, the author mitigates the London fog with luscious scenes in L.A., San Diego, Palm Springs." -THE BOOK READER
"Tne same passionate anticipation of the 'game afoot' that first welled up in me as a vey young man reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's accounts for the first time, rose to the surface as I sped through this adventure. ... an adventure that is truly a non-stop, danger-filled race from the past to the future; ..."Yet, I believe this mystery will be enjoyed by fans of Sherlock Holmes, or fans of any part of the mystery genre birthed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle." -Waycross Journal-Herald "Bloodguilty" Good Reading Experience
"True or not, the reader will find himself on both fog-enshrouded streets of London's Whitechapel in 1888 and in the deserts of Southern California in 1998." -The Morgan Messenger
"The author interweaves fact and fiction bogether so well that the reader is left wondering where one leaves off and the other begins. ... The story is fast- moving, spellbinding at times with a slight hint of romance." -The Chattooga Press
"A mile-a-minute read; I couldn't put it down! The story concept of the 'Ripper' and 'Holmes', combined in past and present is extremely intriguing."
-BOXOFFICE Magazine
"... opens the door into the darkest parts of the human psyche, where the will to live makes even the most horrendous crimes a means to an end. ... Thor manages to capture the rhythms and nuances of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson and transfer those character's essential qualities into two modern characters. Anyone who has ever read a Sherlock Holmes mystery will want to consider picking up a copy of 'Bloodguilty'. ... you won't want to put it down." -Argus Observer "Review 'Bloodguilty' delves into psyche"
FACTS
Since 1892, Scotland Yard has retained a sealed file containing all the information from their "Jack the Ripper" murder investigation. It was to be opened in 1992.
GET COMFORTABLE in your easy chair, or bed ... TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN LOW ... and ... HANG ON for nonstop page-turning suspense!
EXCERPT FROM THE DIARY OF DR. JOHN H. WATSON, JANUARY 1892
I have said many times before that he would have been burned at the stake had he lived 200 years prior. It had always seemed to me that his mental powers were without limits. He would often say, "You have seen, Watson, but you did not observe. It is simplicity itself!" Now, at this writing of our greatest and most challenging case, I understand, why of late, his interest has turned to the mysteries of nature. He speaks of becoming a beekeeper in the country ... perhaps it is because this case sits on the pinnacle of his cases ... there is no greater human adventure to come to challenge his talents.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Sir Doyle's, "THE FINAL SOLUTION", saw the death of Sherlock Holmes going over Richenbach Falls; Sherlock reappears after three years. THOR accounts for those missing years.

BLOODGUILTY edition by RAYMOND THOR Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
In a great novel, Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper are presented in a most unusual way. The author cleverly forms the foundation of a mystery that spans a 110 year period. The story begins in 1888 and ends in 1998 in the deserts of Southern California where the mystery is finally unraveled. This book kept me on the edge of my seat!
It is so well written, I could visualize everything just like a movie. Facts and fiction blended so well I could not tell where one left off and the other began. Fast reading.
The plot is a REAL WINNER, but oh I wish that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had written the actual book itself! There are more typos and grammatical errors and clumsy phrasing here than the worst first draft I've ever had to proof read! It's a pity, because these things really get in the way of the rest of the text, which is a bit feeble in its construction anyway. As said before, the plot is a really exciting sort of "Indiana Jones meets Sherlock Holmes", but the writing got in the way!
besides getting the well-known names and facts wrong in the ripper portion, thor has taken pieces of what appear to be his interests (sherlock holmes,mickey spillane, cloning and conspiracies-a la robin cook), mixed them together and come up with a real mess of a book. don't waste your money.
It's hard to do this book justice. Let's start with a few quotes
"I opened the cover to the first page, brown with age but clearly very readable in a smooth handwritten style that shouted out the date of the first entry ... November 1, 1888."
"My mind's eye peered deep into the smoky veil of time which
cleared as I read on."
"In 1940 world war appeared to be evident."
"The man ran back to the sedan, firing at us continually until he was safely in the sedan which was already speeding away from the rest area into roadway traffic."
Discerning readers may wonder if these lines aren't misplaced submissions to the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest On my honor, they are not. ('Sic' to all, by the way.) Nor were they selected after a complete read; how could anyone do that? They were chosen at random when (after starting the first chapter in the belief that this was a credible Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes pastiche) I realized the truth this is an amazing book and its merits should be appreciated more widely.
Especially among those considering buying it. In a word (okay, just a few) Don't, unless you teach creative writing and want between one pair of covers, examples of every fault known to the craft. This may not be the worst writing ever published, but it is way the worst I've ever seen.
This book had not only an author but a publisher and most amazing of all, an editor. I cannot help wondering Why?
The premise is on a par with the writing. But I won't reveal it. See, I'd have to read a lot more to figure it out, and I've got more important stuff to do today, like empty the kitty litter box ... even though I don't actually have a cat. Okay, just a minor part Adolf Hitler was a direct descendant of Moriarty.
Possibly I've missed the point This could have been intended as a send-up. If so, it's a marvel of the genre, and in millenia yet to spring flaming into golden (or otherwise) existence, bringing with them yet untold events, it will become a cult classic, with fans forcefully proclaiming across the many centuries their favorite lines.
In that case, I like "In 1940, world war appeared to be evident."
There is nothing unusual about another Sherlock Holmes novel - not even one in which the Great Detective is pitted against the best known uncaught criminal of the nineteenth century, Jack the Ripper. Where 'Bloodguilty' varies from the pack is in that the Holmes portion of the book is only about one-half; the rest is taken up with the twentieth century consequences of the actions of the Ripper.
The story revolves around a diary of Dr. Watson kept hidden by the Baker Street Society, who "both guard and insure the immortal continuance of the world's greatest consulting detective and his faithful chronologist, Dr. Watson." The good doctor has specified that this diary not be released until 100 years after the last entry. And now it is time to reveal the truth about Sherlock Holmes and the man who was known as Jack the Ripper...
But, the legacy of the Ripper lives on, and will stop at nothing to prevent the truth getting out.
Fairly well-written, the story doesn't contain too many twists and turns that can't be predicted, but exactly what tack a particular author would take with this kind of story isn't predictable. Raymond Thor produces a creditable effort, but not one that is not necessarily superior to other efforts.
After reading my first book, I really wanted to share. This book was interesting enough that I found I could not put it down! Or shut it down! Love the marriage of past & present, so creative. It made me think AND enjoy at the same time. Beautifully done. Bravo!
Really enjoyed Bloodguilty, could not put it down. It sounds so real, I kept wondering if the author knows more than he is telling us? I really liked the way the past and the present merged together to tell this story. Great book!
