  The Fraud plunges listeners into the spectacle of the real-life Tichborne trial—a case of mistaken identity, media obsession, and societal reckoning—told through the eyes of Eliza Touchet, a sharp-minded widow navigating the illusions of fame, power, and justice.
   
  As a man from Australia claims to be the long-lost heir to a fortune, the nation is divided. But behind the legal theatrics lies a deeper story—of race, empire, truth, and the quiet resilience of those who see the world as it really is. At the heart of it all is Eliza, whose growing voice and moral clarity challenge a culture addicted to performance over authenticity.
   
  Blending historical fact with rich fiction, The Fraud is a razor-sharp exploration of who gets to be believed—and why. It’s a story about the stories we tell ourselves, the truths we ignore, and the personal strength required to cut through the noise.

  War is always a tragedy. There may be a winner of sorts but always a loser.  The cost in injuries, death, destruction can never be fully recovered even if glossed over by a military or political elite that proclaims otherwise. 
   
  Even further down on the scale of mankind’s self-destructive baseness is Civil War.  One Nation with Two Sides locked in a ferocious fight is inevitably more painful and more despoiling.  Civilians are the bait in the trap.  Two sets of values may be proclaimed and many offer loyalty to one or the other but society also has those who just want the space and time to live, to enjoy their family and friends.  Each to his own. 
   
  In the American Civil War that began in 1861 the War was seemingly fought to end Slavery.  A War for Good.  The result a win for the good guys but a society that still bears fractures from this seminal period.   
   
  The stories in this volume show the true scars that are endured as a riven Nations authors try to explain and reconcile.

  Decadence and murder found on the dark side of the big city pales in comparison to the freak show found by undercover US narcotics agent Bob Clark in The Carnival of Death. Clark's investigation begins with cocaine and leads to cold-blooded murder — the discovery of one, and then another, headless corpse. Who is behind the slaughter? There are plenty of distractions — bright lights and beautiful girls — but Clark better find the murderers fast. Because the next head that rolls could be his own.
