Literature Detective Gifts

Shakespeare or Bacon or maybe Marlowe.

Sherlock Holmes selling Sherlock Holmes.

Not to be a motion picture. Will remain just a book.

"Your hunch was right, Officer Garcia. We'll need a good editor to clean up this manuscript and bring his unfinished novel to a satisfying conclusion."

'Listen up, Baskerville! This is MacDonald! Those hounds of yours are scaring the E-I-E-I-O out of my animals!'

'You know bank pens never work. Why didn't you write the holdup note before we left?!'

'I asked Will if he wrote it. He said he wasn't sure.'

It was my story. A murder mystery. A who-done-it-and-got-away-with-it-until-he-wrote-about-it.

'It's some more story ideas from Francis Bacon.'

"Your appendix is fine. It's your glossary I'm worried about."

'Oddly enough you're the third person to buy that today!'

Bibliomaniac

Mysteries.

"I have always depended on the content of strangers."

"It's a 12 inch chess board - the game's a foot."

"They've solved the cause of death of Richard III."

Man sees book flying in the Mystery section.

Deconstructionist girlfriend

Private detective looking very conspicuous while the suspect is saying 'He hasn't really got the hang of discreet surveillance, has he?'

"Marlowe filled the crooked gumshoe full of lead. He watched the smoke from his .38 coil in the air as he… mommy’s behind me, isn’t she?"

'Have you got any good 'whodunnits'...?'

Locking Up Crime

'It's Yorick all right - I know his DNA well.'

'Psst, buddy -- Apocrypha!'

The Mousetrap, by Agatha Christie

"Check this wall for fingerprints."

"Any clues?"

Man reading a book in the library. Notices a man next to him reading all book about spying.
