    First in a Samoan-set series featuring police officer Apelu Soifua: "Enright's portrait of cultural collision is the heart of this engaging series debut." —Booklist
    
     
    
    
    The city of Tafuna may be located on a tropical paradise, but it's no stranger to crime. Just like anywhere else in the world, it has its fair share of murder, drugs, and robbery. Which makes Apelu Soifua the perfect man for his job. He's a cop of two worlds: San Francisco, where he started his career, and now his native Samoa. 
    
    
     
    
    
    Following up on a routine burglary call, Apelu heads to a palangi, or Caucasian, neighborhood. The victim, a VP at SeaKing Tuna—the largest employer on the island—reports only a few items missing. But a fatal shooting at a nightclub a few days later points Apelu to the executive's hard-partying daughter. With some help from local reporter Lupe, Apelu chases a wave of violence that stems from the burglary—and seeks out what really went missing. The investigation puts Apelu in over his head and is about to be dragged under . . . 
    
    
     
    
    "Perfect for any armchair traveling mystery lover. Enright's descriptions of the Samoan landscape—where the frigate birds are as much a part of the sky as the clouds—are vivid and poetic." —Kittling: Books
    
     
    
    "Enright meticulously interweaves the experience and landscapes of Samoa's mountains, rain forests and jungles that he knows so well." —Providence Journal
    
     
    
    "The island setting is a terrific backdrop for the story, one that has Soifua bridging the cultural chasm between the local population and the American community." —Mysterious Reviews

    A chilling mystery stalks the misty moors… 
    In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle delivers one of the most iconic and atmospheric tales in the Sherlock Holmes canon. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead under suspicious circumstances near his estate on the Devonshire moors, whispers of a family curse resurface—one involving a terrifying spectral hound. Fearing for the safety of the new heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, Dr. James Mortimer seeks the help of master detective Sherlock Holmes. 
    Joined by the ever-loyal Dr. Watson, Holmes unravels a tangled web of deception, ancient legends, and sinister schemes. As the fog rolls over the moor, danger closes in, and the line between superstition and reality begins to blur. 
    Narrated with gripping intensity by Luke Oldham, this classic detective novel combines Gothic suspense, psychological drama, and the brilliance of Holmes’s deductive reasoning to keep listeners riveted until the final, unforgettable revelation.

    I thought I was finally getting the hang of being a paranormal policewoman, but when one of the gemstones powering the barrier around the town is stolen, I’m as terrified as the average Joe. Of course, there’s nothing average about the Joes in this town. It’s chock full of mythical creatures, and some of them think the barrier is a waste of time. 
    Well, I’ve seen the cryptid monster beyond and I know we’re doomed if the magical palisade ever fails. Calling what would follow a massacre would be a gross understatement. The race is on. I need to find the gemstone before the weakened barrier fails forever and the fiend devours us all. No pressure then. 
    It’s a simple theft… how hard can it be to solve? Answer: Very hard. Especially when theft turns into murder. 
    There’s also the little outstanding matter of my date with the vampire leader, Connor, not to mention that my best friend seems to be falling apart at the seams. And if all of that isn’t enough to be cracking on with, I have a visitor due imminently. My mother. 
    I’d rather face the monster. 
    Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family and a slow-burn romance.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. They built Virelia to be perfect. Clean. Efficient. Endless. They just forgot one thing. People don’t survive perfection. My name is Sin. I live between the city that owns everything and The Shanty where nothing is allowed to last. Drones are watching overhead. Algorithms are deciding below. 
     
    My husband is dying. The system says that’s optimal. What started as survival is turning into fixation. I’m crossing lines I helped draw. I’m rewriting bodies. I’m bending code. I’m watching what happens when machines inherit human desire and when love becomes a variable no model can stabilize. 
     
    This isn’t a hero’s journey. It’s a confession. A live record of what I’m doing to save one life in a city engineered to erase them. If you enter Virelia with me, don’t expect redemption.
