As the secrets of one woman's hidden past are laid bare, journalist Adam Chapman reaches a crossroads in his life. The devil is at the door. This time, there will be no escape.

Meanwhile, as divisions deepen and the ties that bind are torn asunder, newly-elected Councillor Victoria Kendall is propelled into a game of cat-and-mouse with her political opponents amidst a media storm that threatens to engulf the village.
 
Decision day is looming. The war of attrition is over. Archangel are coming. And, watching from the sidelines, Robert Grainger stands poised to play his hand.
 
As the cracks begin to show, expectant eyes and hopeful hearts await a sign, an omen...
 
...and a revelation.
 
The third in Chris Vobe's five-volume epic, 'The Water Tower' is a raw and uncompromising tale of love, loyalty and allegiance, and offers a candid exploration of the way we deal with loss.

Mysterious Stranger and Other...

Mark Twain, Classic Audiobooks,...

Mark Twain's The Mysterious Stranger, and Other Stories offers a darker, more philosophical side of the great humorist. The title story, left unfinished at Twain's death, introduces a supernatural visitor who challenges human notions of morality, free will, and the meaning of existence. The Stranger's calm, unsettling wisdom exposes the fragility of human belief and the absurdity of much that is taken for granted.The collection as a whole combines Twain's sharp wit with a deep skepticism about human nature and society. Through satire, allegory, and irony, he probes questions that remain disturbingly relevant today. These stories remind readers that Twain was not only a master of comedy but also a thinker unafraid to confront uncomfortable truths.
