  When the city of neon lights casts shadows that run deeper than the desert sands, secrets surface like ghosts from a tomb. 
  In this pulse-quickening installment of the Solitaire Series, Jack Bardlow returns to Vegas, haunted by more than just the scars on his body. Accompanied by Joseph, a man as enigmatic as the city's labyrinthine underworld, Jack seeks a moment of respite at an old friend's limo business—a place where the walls hold secrets tighter than a gambler's grip on loaded dice. But escape is elusive in a city that never sleeps. 
  As Jack retrieves two ominous bags, the air crackles with unsaid truths and unspoken dangers. Simion, the keeper of these secrets, finds himself unnerved under Joseph’s probing gaze, igniting an electric tension in the dim-lit lobby. Jack’s journey towards cosmetic redemption feels laden with dread, each step toward a surgeon promising salvation matched by the specter of looming chaos. 
  Meanwhile, Burt, a gambler on the run, stumbles into an enigma far beyond backroom card games. With an unexpected ally in the volatile Pick, son of a legendary figure with shadowy ties, Burt finds himself entangled in a web spun by power-hungry titans and ruthless ambition. In a world where alliances shift like desert winds, Burt's hopes of escape fade faster than the whiskey poured to soothe his troubles. 
  The stakes rise as the clock ticks, leaving everyone questioning truth and loyalty in a city where blood money runs thick and secrets are currency. As the buzz of the intercom signals another visitor at the gate, paradise turns purgatory, and every decision could spell doom. 
  Step into a world where the only certainty is danger, and trust is a luxury few can afford. When thunderclouds gather, who will be left standing when the storm breaks? Listen closely; the answers lie in the shadows.

  🇬🇧 You won't be able to put down this latest instalment in the Fairbanks and Flynn Mysteries, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Benedict Brown and T. E. Kinsey 🔎 🔪 
  Three women hide in Big Ben, only two come out alive… 
  2 April 1911 is census night, when suffragettes hide overnight in parliament to force census takers to record it as their address – the only way women can have a place in government. 
  Coral Fairbanks, suffragette, actress, and artist’s muse, is among the women who break into parliament. What she doesn’t know is that Guy Flynn, artist and Scotland Yard detective, has been ordered to guard it that night. 
  When a suffragette hiding in Big Ben is poisoned, suspicion falls on the residents of two grand houses in Mayfair. The Kesbys are avant-garde artists, the Ashcourts are aristocrats fallen on hard times. 
  Once again, Fairbanks and Flynn put aside their differences to investigate an astonishing case of deception and murder. 
  A new historical mystery set in Edwardian London featuring the iconic detective duo Fairbanks and Flynn. 
  While this novel has the same detective duo as the other books in the Fairbanks and Flynn Mystery series, it can be read as a STANDALONE 
  Praise for Michelle Salter: 
  'A fabulous, well-written, mystery that holds all the promise of much more to come... The Iris Woodmore mysteries are fast becoming some of my favourites.' M J Porter 
  'A joy to read! Such a well-researched mystery. I absolutely loved the unconventional heroine, 1920s setting, engaging characterisation and poignant ending, all of which provide a captivating start to the Iris Woodmore cosy mystery series.' Anita Davison 
  'The mystery itself is intriguing, with plenty of twists and unexpected developments. If you enjoy 1920s mysteries and learning about the Suffragettes and all they stood for, then I highly recommend Death at Crookham Hall.' Verity Bright

  Your mission: Stop the South African nuclear test! 
  “The scuttlebutt is when you go to sea with Mac, you're in for a frigging great adventure!"— Professor John B. Rosenman (Ret.), Norfolk State University 
  In early 1989, ten years following an actual 1979 joint Israeli/South African nuclear test near Prince Edward Islands, known as the Vela Incident, South Africa was negotiating the end of apartheid. The regime had built six nuclear bombs, but had announced to the World it was dismantling five. The regime was also working on a small suitcase nuke. Israeli Intelligence got word of a pending nuclear test on Prince Edward Island and informed the U.S. State department. Working through the Commanders of the U.S. Pacific Submarine Fleet and the U.S. Atlantic Submarine Fleet, the U.S. State Department assigned Mac McDowell, as the new skipper of USS Teuthis, to onload an Israeli Shayetet 13 commando unit in the Falkland Islands and head into the waters near the Prince Edward Islands to get the facts and, if possible, stop any nuclear weapons test. 
  Audiobook performed by Trenton Bennett — featuring his acclaimed character voice work — with full sound effects, original music, and an illustrated PDF companion with images, diagrams, glossary, and supplemental material.
