Sinossi

Vincenzo Mazzanti had seized an opportunity early in his life; which in time had taken him and his family out of the doldrums of post-war Italy by spearheading a highly successful, but illicit Mafia business. Now advancing years and with thought of retirement, his decided chosen successor was to be an underdog; his eagerness to please and desperate to prove of grand-daughter, Noemi. With Mazzanti's request, this unwittingly heralded the start of fierce rivalry and a growing and resentful division within the family, but also an increasingly bloody internecine with another powerful entity, and with it an unpredictable rogue and psychotic element, desperate to take over their territory and avenge past wrongs. Does this inexperienced dark horse have what it takes to confront their newly founded destiny, or will this passed-on legacy be a dangerous, forlorn, and destructive experience for all? Author of ‘The Underworld’, Anthony A Newman is back with a new gripping complex novel focusing on two warring Mafia entities with their increasing struggle for power and territory, as well as the corruption and trust that leads from it, but also, the loyalty and families from within them.

    THE GLORIOUS YACHT. On the night of April 12, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland, one of the greatest disasters of all time took place - the Unsinkable Titanic struck an iceberg and sank with a horrendous loss of life.
    
    On board that ship was Sherlock Holmes's friend, Victor Trentacost - his only friend other than Doctor Watson. The news of the disaster leads Holmes and Watson to reminisce about one of their earliest adventures, now over thirty years ago when the two of them and Victor went to sea. It began as a sailing race and ended as a tale of murder, kidnapping, piracy, and survival through a tempest.
    
    This new Sherlock Holmes mystery is a tribute to the original story from the Canon, The Gloria Scott. It is the twenty-second in the series of New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries by Craig Stephen Copland.

    This recording has been digitally produced by Rylie Dark, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. Bounty hunter Kelly Cruz, with her dark past, is as tough as they come, working solo given her aversion towards authority, living in a bad neighborhood with her rescue pitbull and refusing to take a fee. But when a desperate father comes knocking with a one million dollar bounty, pleading with her to find his daughter, who he insists was taken by a serial killer, a case ignored by the FBI, Kelly can’t resist.

    🐑 Sheep breeder and show organizer Baa-bara Woolcott is running the prestigious National Sheep Show when the event's most competitive exhibitor—a notorious fleece champion with questionable breeding practices—is found dead in the show ring, tangled in blue ribbon with a suspicious shearing mark on the championship fleece. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Baa-bara notices the fleece has been deliberately contaminated with vegetable matter and the victim's breeding records contain falsified lineage documents. With the sheep show in turmoil and the farming community bleating with suspicion, Baa-bara must herd the facts together. Assisted by her 4-H club students and the handsome veterinary geneticist analyzing DNA samples, Baa-bara uncovers a scheme involving sheep identity theft, fraudulent breeding records, and a sophisticated operation swapping premium breeding stock with inferior animals. From suspicious wool crimp patterns that reveal cross-breeding to DNA markers that don't match the registered lineage, every fleece tells a story. But when Baa-bara discovers the victim was systematically replacing prize-winning bloodlines with ordinary stock to control the breeding market, she realizes the killer is protecting genetic integrity more valuable than any trophy. With the grand championship judging approaching and the real fleece fraudster still pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, Baa-bara must corral the evidence before her own reputation gets sheared for good.
