  Some storms destroy. Others clear a path. 
  Military veteran Amelia Storm returns to her hometown of Chicago when her beloved police officer brother is killed in the line of duty. Now she is a special agent with the FBI. No longer a scared girl, she vows to avenge her brother and do what she can to end the city’s deep wells of corruption. 
  A television documentary puts a spotlight on a four-year-old kidnapping. Amelia and her colleagues in the Organized Crime Division know there’s more to the girl’s case than meets the eye. 
  The twelve-year-old wasn’t just abducted. She was targeted by a human trafficking ring. 
  As Amelia falls deeper down the rabbit hole of Chicago’s criminal hierarchy in search of the girl, she finds herself uncomfortably close to the people she left behind so long ago. This time, though, she won’t run. Now, she is the storm that will unearth the city’s long buried secrets. Or die trying. After all, she has nothing to lose. 
  From the wickedly dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm’s Fury, book one of the Amelia Storm Series, where you’ll be reminded that Mother Earth is wild, but humans are the most dangerous creatures.

  Hidden words, forbidden love, and danger around every corner. 
  When lawyer Kit Chase loses her job, a three-month job with an international law team in post-conflict Kosovo seems like the perfect distraction from the boring comfort of her life—and fiancé—in New Zealand. But with her first case, hunting down the head of an organized crime group, Kit realizes the conflict in Kosovo is far from over. And she’s right in the middle of it. 
  Kit finds herself caught up in a dangerous investigation and increasingly attracted to the Russian liaison officer, Sergei Sokolov, who’s involved in the case. A diary kept by a former Kosovo policewoman holds the key to convicting the crime boss. However, the ruthless killer will stop at nothing to keep the diary hidden, and no one is safe, including Kit and her team.  
  Her life in New Zealand seems further and further away as a war rages around her. But in a country divided by political intrigue and religious tension, friends can be enemies, and enemies can be friends, and trusting the wrong person can be deadly.

  Max Carrados

  When Max Carrados first appeared in the pages of Ernest Bramah in 1913, readers were invited to reconsider one of the most enduring assumptions in detective fiction: that seeing is knowing.
   
  Carrados is blind. Yet he is never portrayed as diminished. Instead, his lack of sight sharpens the faculties upon which most of us scarcely rely. A faint irregularity in a footstep, the texture of paper beneath the fingers, the almost imperceptible hesitation in a voice—these become, in his hands, instruments of revelation. Where others look, Carrados listens. 
   
  In the early twentieth century, when fictional detectives were multiplying across popular magazines and drawing rooms alike, Carrados stood apart. He is neither the flamboyant eccentric nor the brooding man of action, but something subtler: a cultivated intelligence at ease in both society and solitude. His investigations unfold not in thunderclaps but in quiet deductions, guided by patience, courtesy, and a dry, understated wit.
   
  Head Stories Audio presents the first volume of Max Carrados stories by Ernest Bramah.
   
  Read by Simon Hester and with original music.

  Sherlock Holmes and The...

  What crime needs no words to destroy a man? 
  Three envelopes arrive at a respectable London address—each unmarked, each empty, each bearing only an impression stamped in grey ash: a griffin and a broken key. No threats are written. No demands are made. Yet within days, Sir Alistair Wynne, a retired colonial official haunted by a secret from Calcutta, is found dead in his locked study. The verdict is natural causes. But his companion-secretary knows better—and so does Sherlock Holmes. 
  Summoned to Baker Street by a young woman who fears the police have closed the case too soon, Holmes encounters a web of deception stretching from the fog-choked lanes of Chancery to the decaying wharves of Limehouse. An indebted nephew, a terrified clergyman, a proud colonel, and a polished solicitor all orbit the dead man’s legacy—and the missing packet of papers that could ruin or redeem them. 
  As the great detective traces the origin of the ashen seal and the buried injustice it represents, he uncovers a case like no other: a murder committed through terror, a revenge served with legal cunning, and a riddle that only the sharpest mind in England can solve. 
  The past has opened its grave. And it will not rest until Holmes confronts the truth.

Into this decadent underworld steps a bespectacled British spy. Sent on what seems like a simple mission, he soon finds himself playing a game where the rules are unknown—and even victory could be fatal.
