Synopsis

A San Francisco couple sorts through scandals to find a killer in this classic mystery starring “one of the more interesting married teams of detectives” (Thrilling Detective). 
 
Pat and Jean Abbott’s new San Francisco neighbors give new meaning to the term dysfunctional family. And now, amid the mess of exes, stepchildren, rivalries, and resentments, there’s been a tragic death—little Lisa, a vulnerable ten-year-old, has fatally overdosed on cough medicine. 
 
When one of the grown daughters of the patriarch, Dr. Alby—who prescribed the narcotic himself—asks private investigator Pat to look into the suspicious circumstances, he and Jean will find that everyone from a heartless beauty to a handsome womanizer may be behind this crime, and that they themselves are in danger of being caught up in a deadly family drama . . . 
 
Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries 
 
“Lively and exciting.” —The New York Times 
 
“Ample suspense.” —Saturday Review 
 
“Nasty characters and clues pointing off in all directions—quite good.” —The Miami News

    It starts out with a body – the stench of a body, to be more precise. Ross may have an idea why the man is dead in his flat, but he’s not telling anyone. 
    London, 2045. The police are struggling to identify the dead man, but despite all the technology at their fingertips the man remains a mystery. That's until an outbreak of a deadly virus provides a crucial link to a touring Singapore e-sports team and a motley collection of small-time cybercriminals. 
    The SimCavalier, aka Cameron Silvera, wants to enjoy her romantic getaway with Ben, but clues to a Paris data theft are coming thick and fast. Her team has its hands full dealing with an escalating torrent of online attacks, and the fallout from a global data breach has hit their clients hard. Cameron starts to connect the dots as underground markets are flooded with stolen files. 
    Everything points to a single cybercrime syndicate controlling a wave of thefts, and the mysterious Yasmin the Admin who calls the shots. Ross thinks he’s found the people involved, but it may be too late. Cameron’s cover is blown and her home is attacked. The syndicate is hunting down the SimCavalier who has thwarted their plans once too often. Can she stop the cybercriminals and their hired thugs before they strike at the heart of her family? 
    "Insidious vision of the day after tomorrow.” 
    "The near future recognisably imagined. Real suspense and tension." 
    “So real, so grounded in the possible, and so well written that it is easy to forget you’re reading about a future that has not happened yet.”

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    When Brian discovers the envelope Matt left behind, it seems like nothing more than a precaution — a set of instructions to follow if three days pass without a word. But the moment Brian tears it open, his world tilts on its axis. 
    Inside are directions that will thrust him into a reality far beyond anything he could have imagined — a path that forces him to confront secrets, dangers, and choices that will alter the course of his life forever. 
    Brian never expected to inherit a mission. He never expected to step into a future that feels more like a storm than a road. And he certainly never expected that opening a single envelope would ignite a journey that will test the limits of his courage, his loyalty, and his very understanding of fate itself.

    One street, ten doors, who’s the killer? 
    The street that contains No.4 is a dark place, secrets linger and whispers of a murder haunt it. The residents have learnt to live with its sinister past, but when one of their own returns to hunt for the truth, their welcome is far from warm… 
    Fifteen years ago, 35-year-old Henry Carr vanished outside his parents' house on a run-down street in Manchester. 
    Today, a cold case podcast has brought the disappearance to international attention. 
    Now, a young journalist hopes that she might be able to get the locals to open up. After all, she was one of them. But returning won't be easy; there are many reasons why Ruth fled six years ago. 
    There’s minimal evidence, no body and a street in silence. Yet Henry’s elderly and dementia suffering mother, Marianne, appears haunted. She whispers and screams that her son was killed and buried on the street they call home. 
    With the anniversary of Henry’s disappearance fast approaching, Ruth has just days to uncover the truth of what happened to the man she once knew. The more Ruth learns, the more she comes to understand: 
    It might take a street to keep a secret, but it takes just one woman to set it free… 
    Ruth, the amateur sleuth, is determined to uncover the truth. As she navigates through the top secrets of the street, she realises that the fiction she once believed might be far from reality. 
    For fans of Claire Mcgowan (Blood Tide), Lauren North (My Word Against His), Erin Kinsley (Someone You Know), K.L. Slater (The Girlfriend), and Tm Logan (The Daughter).

    Ultimate Trial The: AI vs Humanity

    As we stand on the precipice of a new era, it’s impossible to ignore the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its ever-growing presence in our daily lives. From the voice assistants in our homes to complex systems predicting our behavior, AI is no longer a concept of the distant future—it’s here, and it’s reshaping our world. 
    The Ultimate Trial: AI vs Humanity was born out of my fascination with this evolving relationship between humans and machines. What began as a casual interest in the ethics of AI quickly spiraled into a deep dive into the moral, philosophical, and legal implications of creating intelligence that could one day rival our own. As technology develops at an unprecedented pace, the line between human and machine begins to blur, raising questions that were once the domain of science fiction. 
    This book is not an attempt to offer definitive answers, because, in truth, none of us can predict exactly how the future will unfold. Instead, I invite you to join me in exploring the complexity of these issues. Through the lens of a global courtroom drama, we will examine the delicate balance between human rights, technological progress, and the moral dilemmas we may soon face. 
    In The Ultimate Trial, you’ll find a story that explores both sides of the debate—humans fighting to preserve their place in the world and AIs struggling for recognition and autonomy. It’s a story about survival, identity, and, ultimately, what it means to be alive. 
    I hope this book sparks your imagination, challenges your perceptions, and leaves you wondering about the future we are collectively shaping.
