  No one roots for the Henchmen—the big, dumb, tough, disposable guys who blindly follow the villains . . . but are they all bad? 
  . . . Or are they just poorly trained, mistreated workers with evil bosses? 
    
  Recent college grad, Matt, is an insurance salesman whose life has turned into routine and monotony. 
  All that changes when he finds himself in the middle of a deadly bar fight and, in a split-second, is forced to make a decision: kill or be killed. Matt chooses self-preservation, saving himself, and, unbeknownst to him, the head of cybercriminal organization, DMF Enterprises. 
  Suddenly a murderer and a fugitive, Matt now also finds himself to be the latest target of a notoriously dangerous, rival cyber-criminal. For protection, Matt is offered the chance to join DMF's league of Henchmen. 
  But Matt quickly learns that the modern-day Henchmen are not like the ones in the movies. They drink Starbucks and watch Netflix on the job, and they make fatal mistakes, like accidentally locking the doors of the van mid-kidnapping. 
  If Matt can't survive as a Henchman, he will face the streets and the Outside Threat all on his own. But, if he can unite them, Matt can begin the evolution of Henchman, and better yet, stay alive. Does he have what it takes to triumph, or will he, too, become disposable? 
  Join Matt in the first book in this laugh-out-loud, action-packed Henchman Training Academy series.

Five centuries later, on Halloween, he has woken up from his sleep, a thought to get revenge in his mind. He kills both Max Watson and Horace Jones, two residents of Bluebell. Edward flees, leaving no clues. The case is investigated by various agencies, all to no avail. Presently, the case is in the hands of Dublin-based investigation agency, UNWWAISMC. The case is given to Maralays Hover, a detective, and Root Anderson, a forensic psychologist. Join both of them on their mysterious and perilous journey to uncover the reason for the murder and bring the unidentified person behind it to justice. 
  The author Joshua Bejoy is an 11-year-old student from Pune, India. He wrote an inverted mystery, Murder at the Leaky Barrel, while confined to his home during the lockdown. Apart from writing, he likes painting, playing the guitar, and baking. 
  In his own words: 
  "The rush of happiness that I experience when I write is something that I can't describe! The richness in each word is nearly equal to sinking my teeth into some rich plum cake. Each and every creation we make can be molded into something great, just as my poem about the process of making bread describes: 
  At first, I'm paste without a taste, 
  Then with a spoon, you roll me out, rather in a haste, 
  As you work on me, I get softer by time, 
  Until you set me into my mold, 
  And after baking, you get culinary gold!"

Adopted into a dynasty with roots in organized crime, Chase spends his adult life in Hollywood, trying to build an identity outside the shadow of blood and betrayal trailing behind him.But when federal prosecutors come knocking, Chase is dragged back into the empire he has spent decades evading. The investigation unravels not just the financial crimes that bound the family together, but a deeper inheritance as well—the secrets passed down like currency, the silence demanded in exchange for protection, and the lies that distort what it means to belong.Globe-spanning in scope yet intimate at its core, Crime Family blends the immediacy of true crime with the psychological depth of literary fiction. It is a novel about money and memory, loyalty and loss, and the impossible reality of needing to escape the family you never chose.
