Synopsis

Terreno, 1983, Latin America. After a dictatorship of ten years, the brutal junta, lead by general Pelarón, seems to waver.
 
Alejandro Juron, guitarist of the famous poet and folk singer Victor Pérez who's been executed by the junta, is released from the infamous prison "The Last Supper." The underground resistance wants Alejandro to participate in its fight again. But Alejandro has changed.
 
Consumed with guilt by the death of his friend Victor, whom he betrayed to his tormentors, Alejandro becomes the unintended center of a web of intrigue that culminates in a catastrophic insurrection, and has to choose between love and escape.
 
A love story, a thriller and an analysis of the mechanisms that govern a dictatorship, Alejandro's Lie is a gripping novel about violence, betrayal, resistance, corruption, guilt and love.

    “Five Stars! The tale immediately drew me in, into the town, into the intriguing mystery, and into the people. A real treat to read." ~Deb, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer 
    Laurel Falls, N.C., 1985: I was done with being a crime reporter in Washington, D.C., tired of all the violence. So I packed up and moved to the small town of Laurel Falls, N.C. It looked like heaven to me—ancient mountains brimming with tall trees and songbirds, peace and quiet. Until I found the body. 
    The sheriff took the easy path, calling it a suicide. No way. I’d found that young woman, and I just knew she hadn’t taken her own life. I’d spent my whole career searching for the truth, and I wasn’t about to stop now. Trouble was, without my usual sources, how much of a murder investigation could I pull off? 
    But a special kid lived next door. Abit Bradshaw, a teenager struggling to find his rightful place in the world. Hey, I knew all about that. I’d never fitted in either, but eventually I’d found something I was good at. I figured he just needed a chance too. 
    And he got one when we teamed up to solve that crime. Along the way, we sure met some interesting characters—both bad and good. We had a plan, and we worked it hard to find that killer before we became the next victims. 
    Looking back, I should’ve known plans rarely pan out the way you think. ~Della Kincaid 
    If you love Jacqueline Winspear, Sue Grafton, and Cheryl Bradshaw (no relation to Abit Bradshaw that we know of), you're sure to enjoy the Appalachian Mountain Mysteries series. 
    Get it now—for the rich natural setting, colorful characters, and suspenseful investigations.

    It's as big as the Empire State Building, a massive floating fortress at the throbbing heart of a U.S. Navy Carrier Battle Group. It's a Nimitz-class nuclear carrier, the most powerful weapons system on the planet. Nothing can touch it. 
    So when the first stunned messages say only that the Thomas Jefferson has disappeared, the Navy reacts with disbelief. But the truth becomes inescapable: a Nimitz-class carrier has been claimed by nuclear catastrophe-no other explanation is possible. 
    But as Navy maverick Bill Baldridge begins to investigate the disaster that claimed his idolized brother's life, another chilling alternative begins to emerge: a rogue submarine. Suddenly it's up to Bill Baldridge to track down this shadowy nuclear terrorist, who still has another nuclear-tipped torpedo in his arsenal.  
    "An absolutely marvelous thriller, one of the best things of its kind I have read in years. I don't need to urge people to read it, because they will do so by the millions."-- Jack Higgins

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Brian Crossley has already walked through grief deeper than most men could bear—his girlfriend Savanna, his father, his mother’s fragile heart. But when a mysterious time-bending mission lands in his hands, grief becomes a weapon, and the past becomes a battlefield. 
    Armed with a list of names, Brian steps into a machine that can drop him into decades long gone. His task: stop murders before they happen. His price: the weight of killing killers. 
    The next name on the list is Sherry Brown, a young woman murdered during a 1963 robbery in Sevierville, Tennessee. Her death, for a mere $102 from a gas station register, was dismissed as another unsolved case, buried under dust and time. But Brian has seen the future. He knows that if Sherry dies, more lives will be claimed by the killers who walk away. Stopping them means rewriting history—and taking blood into his own hands. 
    Haunted by recurring visions, the ghost of Savanna, and the fragile thread of his father’s life, Brian must face not only two men who treat murder like a game, but also the crushing question of morality: does saving the innocent justify becoming a killer himself? 
    In this relentless journey of violence, sacrifice, and redemption, Brian learns that time doesn’t forgive mistakes—and every choice has a cost. 
    The Case of Sherry Brown is a gripping fusion of suspense and heartbreak, blending crime, time-travel, and the unbearable weight of second chances.
