Sinopse

"A well-crafted novel that will appeal to readers of mysteries, historical fiction, and genre westerns."—BooklistThe railroad is coming to Leadville and its rich Rocky Mountain mines. Among those who will be on hand to celebrate the arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande is Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States and former commander of the Union armies.Like other residents in the Colorado boomtown this summer of 1880, Inez Stannert regards the news as mixed. With her business partnership in the Silver Queen Saloon shaky and the bonds of family slipping (her husband is still missing and her young son is still back East), Inez doesn't need the lawlessness of Leadville to turn, once again, into murder.But Inez isn't the only one with iron ties to the past. Some folks have wicked memories of the war, others have a stake in the competing railroad lines. And photographer Susan Carothers, Inez's friend, is caught in the deadly crossfire….Silver Rush Mysteries:Silver Lies (Book 1)Iron Ties (Book 2)Leaden Skies (Book 3)Mercury's Rise (Book 4)What Gold Buys (Book 5)A Dying Note (Book 6)Mortal Music (Book 7)Praise for the Silver Rush Mysteries:"Plenty of convincing action bodes well for a long and successful series."—Publishers Weekly STARRED review for Iron Ties"Meticulously researched and full of rich period details…her characters will stay will you long after you've finished the last page.

    The pace is fast and furious with old-fashioned detection winning out against the forces of villainy - Daily Mail
    Jim Eldridge, author of the Museum Mysteries, turns his pen to Wartime London's Underground stations.
    London, March 1941. The Blitz continues to cast a shadow over the city's brightest spots such as the Café de Paris. Having narrowly escaped a devastating bomb attack on the nightclub, Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are called to the disused Lord's Underground station where the body of a man has been discovered.
    
    
    The dead man was beaten to death by what may have been a cricket bat. Is he linked to the British Empire XI, made up of players from Great Britain and far-flung corners of the globe, who are playing at the world-famous Lord's Cricket Ground? Coburg and Lampson are certainly put in a spin by this complex case.
    Perfect for fans of Mark Ellis and T.E. Kinsey
    Readers love Jim Eldridge:
    'The sense of time and place created is perhaps my favourite aspect of these books, and whilst I thoroughly enjoy the mystery behind the murders, which are often very visceral, despite the cosy nature of the books, I love feeling as if I am walking alongside the characters, smelling, seeing, hearing, feeling and tasting everything they are.'
    'Well-written and entertaining historical mystery.'
    ' I fully lost myself in from the opening chapter. Memorable characters, atmosphere galore, and masterful plotting all combine into an impeccable mystery.'
    'Great story, well-paced and keeps you guessing.'
    Jim Eldridge is a prolific author of series such as Cathedral Mysteries series, The Hotel Mysteries series, Museum Mysteries series and more, but each book can be read individually.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A child asks for more—and a city reveals its darkest hunger. 
     
    In Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens transforms the fogbound streets of Victorian London into a haunting moral landscape of poverty, innocence, crime, and compassion. Drawing on his own knowledge of hardship and social inequality, Dickens attacks a system that punishes the poor while allowing cruelty to hide behind respectability. 
     
    Born in the workhouse and denied even the smallest kindness, young Oliver escapes to London, where he encounters the watchful Artful Dodger, the shadowy Fagin, the brutal Bill Sikes, and the courageous Nancy. Between crowded alleys, stolen handkerchiefs, and fragile acts of mercy, Oliver’s journey becomes a struggle to remain human in a world determined to turn need into wrongdoing. 
     
    First published in serial form between 1837 and 1839, Oliver Twist was Dickens’s first novel to portray London’s impoverished criminal underworld with such realism. Its story remains compelling because its questions still matter: what does society owe its most vulnerable children, and how can goodness survive where hunger and fear rule? 
     
    This AI-narrated audiobook provides a clear, polished, immersive listening experience, bringing Dickens’s dark humour, vivid characters, suspense, and emotional force to life with precision. 
     
    Step into the gaslit streets of London and discover the unforgettable story that changed social fiction forever. Start listening to Oliver Twist today.
