Addiction

G. H. Ephron

Sinopsis

Amnesia, G.H. Ephron's acclaimed debut, introduced forensic neuropsychologist and expert defense witness Dr. Peter Zak. Returning in Addiction, Peter is back in the thick of things at the Pearce Psychiatric Center, coping with patients as well as everyday average administrative nightmares at the hospital, like budgetary concerns, construction, and colleagues' drug trials. And then the worst nightmare of all-the murder of a colleague.Such an event, if it weren't devastating enough, rekindles Peter's memories of the murder of his wife, which left Peter emotionally shattered and isolated; he's only recently begun to emerge. But he can't retreat this time; he must use his expertise to help reconstruct this baffling and intensely personal killing.Peter discovers his friend and former lover, Pearce psychiatrist Channing Temple, dead from a gunshot wound on hospital grounds. Her 16-year-old daughter Olivia is standing over the body, holding a gun. Did Olivia, who has been abusing Ritalin and other drugs, kill her mother? Peter thinks not, but she is quickly arraigned for murder, and he has only two weeks to find the killer before Olivia is sent to prison. In this tense and compelling second installment in a highly lauded series, the talented writing team known as G.H. Ephron tackles the dangers and misconceptions surrounding addiction...and the chaos of murder.

Bad Neighbours - Cherringham...

Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

When Brian Foley is charged with the murder of his next-door neighbour, the fastidious Arthur Cranham, it seems the case against the blustering showman is cut and dried: prints, DNA, CCTV footage - there can't be any doubt. After all - Brian and Arthur have famously been at war for years. But Jack and Sarah are convinced that the police have it wrong. With time running out, can they prove Brian's innocence and find the real killer?

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

Timora - The Man Who Shorted the...

Al Nika

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if you could go back in time, not to change history, but to short it? 
 
When Wall Street prodigy John Sterling loses everything, a mysterious angel offers him a second chance: return to 2010 armed with the knowledge of 2025. Armed with stock charts, crypto forecasts, and insider foresight, John becomes the man who can outsmart the future itself. But as every trade reshapes time, he discovers that money can’t hedge against destiny. 
 
Set between the chaos of the 2008 crash and the rise of Bitcoin, Timora: The Man Who Shorted the Future blends financial thriller, time-travel paradox, and moral reckoning into one gripping narrative. John must navigate love, greed, and guilt while watching the butterfly effect unfold across a decade of rewritten history. 
 
As fortunes soar and collapse in seconds, the real question emerges: if you knew every turn the market would take, would you use it to save the world, or just yourself? 
 
Written by AL Nika, this audiobook fuses the intellect of The Big Short with the metaphysical edge of Interstellar and Back to the Future II. It’s a haunting story of redemption, fate, and the price of knowing too much. 
 
For fans of speculative fiction, finance thrillers, and philosophical sci-fi, Timora is a pulse-pounding journey through time, temptation, and the limits of human choice.

Murder at River Oaks

Hak Dickenson

In Houston, Texas, the energy capital of the world, oil and gas are king. To the shock of the city, Jonathan Pendergast, the CEO of one of the largest oil companies in the country, is gunned down on the front steps of his own home in the wealthy, venerable neighborhood of River Oaks. One month later, his neighbor, Marvin Green, a nationally known professor at Rice University, was shot point-blank in the head in his office while working late on his latest anti-global warming book. The professor is an MIT-trained scientist and is a well-known advocate for representing oil companies' views that CO₂ emissions do not cause global warming. Both were killed with 9mm handguns. The two have worked together before. Possible motives for the two killings include ambition, jealousy, envy, inheritance, ecological passion, and even ordinary robbery. Viable suspects are plenty. Mrs. Pendergast hires Dirk Wolfson, a private investigator and an ex-prosecutor, to find the killer or killers. Dirk has his own shadowy demons to deal with. As Dirk culls and analyzes evidence during the investigation, he ponders to himself, are these killings directly related, or are they random killings by a disgruntled employee or a misguided, passionate environmentalist? Dirk is keen on using modern technology to solve the murders.
