Sinopse

When two women are murdered in eerily familiar fashion, Mel Cooke is forced to confront a past she thought was long buried.
 
The killings mirror the unsolved murder of her mother, Peggy. Soon, Mel comes to the shocking realization that the killer was always there, and may now have her daughter in his sights.
 
Desperate to protect her family, Mel reluctantly joins forces with journalist Dave Ferguson. Together, they uncover disturbing clues that link the new victims to a long-forgotten night and a man no one can quite place... but whose identity could change everything.
 
As long-buried secrets surface, Mel realizes that the truth she seeks may come at a devastating price.
 
Witty yet suspenseful, Claire Harrison's DETECTIVES WITHOUT GUNS is a gripping mystery about the past’s hold on the present, and how far one mother will go to seek justice.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    A dead teenager. An exclusive community. Was it really an accident? 
    When Sudanese-Australian student Aro Chol is found dead at the foot of the prestigious Chilton Hill estate, local journalist Audrey Lord is first on the scene. Residents claim he was trying to break in. The police suspect a fall. At police request, Audrey agrees to report it as an accident—for now. 
    But Aro was no criminal. He was a bright student with big dreams—not someone who'd throw his future away for a petty crime. Sneaking into one of the wealthiest, most tightly secured homes on the Mornington Peninsula doesn't add up. 
    As Audrey digs deeper, she uncovers a web of buried tensions among Chilton Hill's elite, within Aro's former community, and even inside his own family. With race tensions rising and public pressure mounting, everyone has something to hide and everyone wants to control the story. 
    She wants to give Aro's family answers. But if she's wrong, it could cost her career and leave a killer free to strike again.

    The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this Grand Master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. 
    That was the thing about New York -- if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world. 
    In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens -- bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers -- the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants, including:  
    John Blair Creighton, a writer on the verge of a breakthrough; 
    Francis Buckram, a charismatic ex–police commissioner -- and the inside choice for the next mayor -- on the verge of a breakdown; 
    Susan Pomerance, a beautiful, sophisticated folk-art dealer plumbing the depths of her own fierce sexuality; 
    Maury Winters, a defense attorney who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness; 
    Jerry Pankow, an ex-addict who has turned being clean into a living, mopping up after New York's nightlife; 
    And, in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, an unlikely killing machine who wages a one-man war against them all. 
    Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate.
