Sinopse

Inspector Littlejohn confronts a challenging case across the Channel in this classic mystery from the “venerable” British author (Kirkus Reviews).   When Alderman Dawson is stabbed to death while visiting the Riviera with a group of English tourists, Inspector Littlejohn puts his holiday on hold to assist the French police. But the suspects are plentiful. The culprit could be one of Dawson’s fellow travelers—or perhaps someone who encountered him years ago during World War II. While Littlejohn fends off complaints from the impatient members of the tour group and delves into potential motives, he can only hope that his investigation doesn’t go south along with his much-needed vacation. . . .   “One of the subtlest and wittiest practitioners of the simon-pure British detective story . . . his adroit ironic Inspector Littlejohn is one of the more popular members of the fictional C.I.D.” —The New York Times   “Mr. Bellairs always gives good value.” —The Sunday Times

The Silk Noose - Vanessa...

Vanessa Peralta

In the unforgiving streets of the Bronx, there are two kinds of people—the ones who hustle and the ones who get hustled. The Silk Noose is the gripping origin story of Vanessa Finessa, a young woman who’s mastered the art of the finesse, turning survival into a science and the streets into her playground.
From the moment she was born into struggle, Vanessa knew the world wouldn’t hand her anything. Raised by a single mother working overtime to keep the lights on, she learned early that power isn’t given—it’s taken. Watching the game from the shadows, she studied the moves of those who made it and the mistakes of those who didn’t. By the time she hit her teenage years, she was no longer just observing—she was playing, outsmarting, and outmaneuvering the very people who underestimated her.
But the thing about the game? It never lets you leave clean. Every finesse comes with a price, and when the stakes get too high, Vanessa is forced to ask herself: Is she controlling the hustle, or is it controlling her?
Told in raw, unfiltered prose, The Silk Noose is a story of ambition, power, and the cost of survival. It’s about the choices we make, the consequences we can’t escape, and the question every hustler eventually faces—how far are you willing to go to win?
Perfect for fans of urban fiction, street-lit, and high-stakes drama, The Silk Noose pulls no punches and takes you deep into a world where every move matters, and trust is the deadliest gamble of all.
Narrated by Darius Steele, this audiobook brings Vanessa’s world to life with intensity, grit, and undeniable energy.
Press play—because once you step into Vanessa Finessa’s world, there’s no turning back.
