    Favourite Legendary Crime-Busting Oddballs

    We have a thread on sherlock Holmes, as is right and proper, but I thought it might be appropriate to also have a thread devoted to ficitional detectives in general. The Fortean aspect to this topic* lies not just in the mysterious circumstances that the sleuths have to unravel - but also in...

    Order of the Phoenix *contains some spoilers relating to books already in print* Only tenously Fortean I suppose, but I was wondering if anyone else is keenly waiting for the new Harry Potter book? They've gone to great lengths to keep the thing secret, although why is anyone's guess...
