Dead Girl Found: When 19-year-old Julia Jarrett accuses her father Donald of abuse, their relatives are outraged. The problem is, Julia died months ago from a heroin overdose.

When a local businessman is stabbed to death, DCI Grace Swan and DS Terry Horton find themselves pitted against the most dangerous criminal they have ever encountered: the Mannikin Killer.

Not wishing to fall into the same trap as his father, moving in circles unimagined, his close association with Sheikh Akeem reaped further dividends.

    London, June 1814: Mary and Jane are less than charmed by their brother Charles's courtship with a girl from the local cheese shop. When Miss Winnet Davies is not swooning from the heat, she's imploring Charles to buy her a pretty dress. But he hasn't a tuppence—nor have they, as their father, philosopher William Godwin, is facing the prospect of debtor's prison. 
 
 
 
When a constable arrives at the Godwin home the following day, looking for Charles, Mary and Jane learn that the lifeless body of Miss Davies was found hanging from a tree branch and an examination revealed she was with child. 
 
 
 
Before they can search, a terrifying Bow Street Runner named Fisher calls and announces his intention to court Mary. Even if she wasn't infatuated with married poet and radical Percy Shelley, she is horrified by the massive Bow Street Runner's plan. 
 
 
 
Mary and Jane alternately enlist the help of the experienced and intimidating Fisher and Shelley himself, who is as enticed by the opportunity to be close to Mary as he is intrigued by the mystery. But the unfortunate shopgirl is only the first to die, and soon the sisters and Shelley face a merciless quarry who will do anything to silence them . . .

    A fog-shrouded train. A vanished passenger. A truth that defies the living. 
When William Langford boards the 4:15 express on a damp December evening, he expects nothing more than a quiet journey to his friend’s country estate. But his solitary compartment is unexpectedly intruded upon by a familiar traveler — a reserved, pale-faced gentleman carrying a heavy deed-box and an unsettling air. 
By the time the train slows into Blackwater station, the stranger disappears into the swirling mist. And then — he is gone. Not merely from sight, but from the world. 
Langford soon learns the unthinkable: the man he shared the compartment with died months before. His arrival at Dumbleton Manor sets off shock, whispers, and a chilling realization that reason cannot explain. 
Driven by duty — and haunted by what he saw — Langford becomes entwined in a mystery that bridges the natural and the supernatural. What begins as a polite Victorian travel tale unravels into a ghostly investigation, a financial scandal, and a murder buried beneath brambles, secrets, and time. 
Amelia B. Edwards delivers one of the finest railway ghost mysteries of the Victorian age — a tale steeped in cold iron, lamplight, and a chilling question that echoes long after the final page: 
What travels with us when justice has not yet been served? 
Perfect for fans of M.R. James, Charles Dickens’ ghost stories, and Sherlock Holmes-era intrigue. 
Narrated with atmospheric depth by Jason Miller.
