  🎷 In the sultry shadows of 1918 New Orleans, death has a rhythm all its own. 
  When a string of brutal, axe-wielding murders shatters the city’s uneasy peace, Detective Louis Beaulieu is thrust into a chilling hunt for a phantom whose only calling cards are shattered skulls and bloodstained jazz notes. As fear grips the streets, the elusive Axeman sends a nightmarish ultimatum to the public: play jazz through the night—or face the blade. 
  With each new body, the line between madness and music blurs. Beneath the surface of this city steeped in secrets, something darker is composing a symphony of terror. Beaulieu must navigate a twisted maze of smoke-filled clubs, cryptic messages, and haunted minds—where every clue is a note in a macabre composition, and silence could be the prelude to death. 
  As the killer’s melody crescendos, Beaulieu faces a truth more sinister than he ever imagined—one that threatens to consume him and the soul of New Orleans itself. 
  The Axeman of New Orleans is a heart-pounding historical thriller where jazz and horror intertwine. Prepare to leave the lights on—and the music playing. 🔊 
  Some symphonies should never be heard...🎶

  Meet SAGE POE—witch, reluctant consultant to the sheriff's department, and woman who just wanted some damn pancakes. She thought the most dangerous thing at Nellie's Diner would be the cholesterol count. She thought wrong. When patrons start experiencing their worst nightmares after ordering the blue plate special, turning the beloved diner into a feeding ground for something ancient, Sage finds herself trapped in a buffet of horrors. Regular customers are vanishing, Nellie's famous pie is developing a mind of its own, and something is definitely not kosher in the kitchen. Armed with her magical intuition, two sisters with appetites for danger, and an aunt whose newly-restored mental clarity comes with demonic connections (and a beetle in a jar she calls "Eleanor"), Sage must uncover what's really on the menu. 
    
  Enter SHERIFF EMMET QUILL—lawman with a newfound respect for the supernatural and the only person in town who takes his coffee darker than the entity lurking beneath the diner. He may now believe in magic, but he still needs evidence . . . and maybe a chance to finally define whatever's cooking between him and Sage. 
    
  As forgotten culinary pacts resurface and the specials get increasingly suspicious, Sage realizes that some recipes are better left unserved. But in Bone Gap, hunger always finds a way.

  Animal Farm

  Now an animated film adaptation produced and directed by Andy Serkis  
  George Orwell’s classic satire of the Russian Revolution has become an intimate part of our contemporary culture, with its treatment of democratic, fascist, and socialist ideals through an animal fable. 
  The animals of Mr. Jones’s Manor Farm are overworked, mistreated, and desperately seeking a reprieve. In their quest to create an idyllic society where justice and equality reign, the animals of Manor Farm revolt against their human rulers, establishing the democratic Animal Farm under the credo, “All Animals Are Created Equal.” Out of their cleverness, the pigs—Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball—emerge as leaders of the new community. In a development of insidious familiarity, the pigs begin to assume ever greater amounts of power, while other animals, especially the faithful horse Boxer, assume more of the work. The climax of the story results in a brutal betrayal, when totalitarian rule is reestablished with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: “But Some Animals Are More Equal than Others.” 
  This astonishing allegory, one of the most scathing satires in literary history, remains as fresh and relevant as the day it was published.

  A riveting thriller about crime and punishment in Soviet-era Moscow. Like the Arkady Renko novels of Martin Cruz Smith, Robert Littell's masterful Mother Russia transports listeners back in time and behind the Iron Curtain to experience the extremes of Soviet society. Robespierre Pravdin is a black marketeer who prowls Moscow's streets and alleys hustling wristwatches. Wishing only to survive in a city suffocated by paranoia and schizophrenia, Robespierre manages to make a tidy profit and stay under the state's radar-until, one day, he meets the woman called "Mother Russia" and becomes ensnared in the Byzantine and profoundly dangerous game of politics. This is another darkly engrossing must-listen from the bestselling author of The Sisters and The Defection of A. J. Lewinter.
