    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if you could go back in time, not to change history, but to short it? 
    When Wall Street prodigy John Sterling loses everything, a mysterious angel offers him a second chance: return to 2010 armed with the knowledge of 2025. Armed with stock charts, crypto forecasts, and insider foresight, John becomes the man who can outsmart the future itself. But as every trade reshapes time, he discovers that money can’t hedge against destiny. 
    Set between the chaos of the 2008 crash and the rise of Bitcoin, Timora: The Man Who Shorted the Future blends financial thriller, time-travel paradox, and moral reckoning into one gripping narrative. John must navigate love, greed, and guilt while watching the butterfly effect unfold across a decade of rewritten history. 
    As fortunes soar and collapse in seconds, the real question emerges: if you knew every turn the market would take, would you use it to save the world, or just yourself? 
    Written by AL Nika, this audiobook fuses the intellect of The Big Short with the metaphysical edge of Interstellar and Back to the Future II. It’s a haunting story of redemption, fate, and the price of knowing too much. 
    For fans of speculative fiction, finance thrillers, and philosophical sci-fi, Timora is a pulse-pounding journey through time, temptation, and the limits of human choice.

    Linking the dying words of three slain strangers proves risky for Dalziel and Pascoe in this "shrewd . . . and deft" mystery (The New York Times). 
     
     
      
    Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
     
     
      
    On the same night, three old men are offed: One is found in the icy rain sputtering the name "Polly" before expiring; another mumbles "Charley" after being beaten in his bathtub; and most alarmingly, the final words of the third, a cyclist knocked off the road by a drunk driver, implicate Superintendent Andrew Dalziel in the fatal hit and run. Bearing the brunt of three seemingly disparate investigations while proving his partner's innocence, Peter Pascoe follows a confounding trail that leads to one victim's family secrets, a shady retirement community, and corruption within the CID's ranks that's putting more than Dalziel's already dicey reputation in peril.

    Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson received a highly sensitive letter from Turin. The venerable Cardinal Maurilio Fassati himself requested the master detective's help in an extremely delicate matter. The Shroud of Turin had been stolen from the Chapel of the Holy Shroud in the Cathedral! And just before Easter! A disaster! Holmes and Watson decided to leave for Turin immediately. Unfortunately, Holmes realised far too late that they weren't travelling as a trio, but that Watson had smuggled along his new friend, the mongrel Sausages, as a stowaway. On the train, they made a rather questionable acquaintance with a most conspicuous lady. And that's when the first trouble began...
