Beschreibung

After an ice pick is used for murder in San Francisco, the Washington elite comes down on HastingsIt starts as an everyday fender bender: Two cars collide in heavy evening traffic. But when the police arrive to take statements, the occupants of one car take off running. They leave another man behind, slumped in the backseat, dead of a single stab wound to the chest. Lieutenant Frank Hastings abandons a family dinner to take charge of the scene, which rapidly devolves into chaos. The police corner one of the runners in an abandoned building, capturing him after a standoff. The night’s excitement may be over, but the real trouble has yet to start.The dead man is Eliot Murdock, a washed-up political commentator who came west from DC to chase the scoop of his career. As Hastings digs into Murdock’s story, he finds himself hemmed in by Washington big shots—formidable men who have made the mistake of underestimating the strength of one very tenacious cop.

    🧩 The community art center in the quaint town of Crestwood is a peaceful haven—until the body of a wealthy, demanding benefactor is discovered in the mosaic studio, surrounded by shattered tiles and a half-finished mural. The murder weapon is a custom-made tile cutter, and all evidence points to the center's beloved instructor, Maya, who had a very public argument with the victim over funding. To clear her mentor's name, pottery teacher and amateur sleuth Lily must piece together the clues like a intricate mosaic. With help from her perceptive parrot, Picasso, and a handsome art restorer with a mysterious past, Lily uncovers a colorful array of suspects. From art forgery and stolen designs to secret identities and a long-lost masterpiece hidden beneath layers of paint, every student in the class has a motive. As Lily digs deeper, she realizes the killer is still close, and the next shattered piece could be her. Can she assemble the truth before the final tile is placed and the killer's picture is complete?

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media, narrated by Matthew Schmitz, with full sound production by the Russian Comic Book Geek. 
    Deep in the sweltering jungles of South America, two explorers — Falmer and Thone — stumble upon a forgotten ruin, hidden beneath centuries of tangled growth and silence. Within its shadowed chambers lies an ancient tomb, undisturbed, its secrets sealed in stone and time. 
    But something lingers in the sepulchre. 
    Something old. Something alive. Something that does not sleep. 
    As one of the men becomes obsessed with a strange, unidentifiable seed found within the tomb, the boundary between plant and predator, dream and nightmare, begins to rot and dissolve. What blooms from ancient soil may not be content to remain buried. 
    A lush, unsettling blend of botanical horror and lost-world myth, The Seed from the Sepulchre is Clark Ashton Smith at his most vivid and uncanny — a tale of beauty, dread, and the terrible persistence of life.

    Georgie Deacon thinks nothing of it when a gang of girls led by Yasmin, a member of the notorious Marx family, knock at her door and threaten to hurt her daughter – that is until her daughter doesn’t return home. 
    Detective Clark Kims ignores Georgie’s plea to have the gang of girls brought in for questioning. He insists it is the work of the Kent serial killer, until Georgie realises that the detective’s daughter is part of the gang. 
     
    Following the brutal murder of two members of the Marx family and the arrival of a Ministry of Defence file, Georgie instantly becomes the number one suspect. Yet more worrying than securing her liberty is the idea that the nemesis from her past has returned to exact his revenge – a promise he made back in Afghanistan almost twenty years ago. 
     
    There was a lot more to Georgie than the Army’s top brass gave her credit for. 
     
    That was a huge mistake.
