  When a tourist is murdered in Ka'anapali, and it turns out he's someone from Rosie's past, Charlie is on the case. She needs to find out whether or not the man knew about Rosie's defection, or if it's just a coincidence he was killed on the island. 
  And while the stakes couldn't be higher, Charlie finds herself butting heads with the FBI, at the same time as she's getting closer to Jake than ever. And she's not sure that's a bad thing... 
  Charlie has to get to the bottom of this case before Rosie's true identity is revealed, but going up against trained spies is completely outside her wheelhouse. 
  Will Charlie find the killer and protect her friend, or is she going to find herself out in the cold... permanently?

  A couple hunting for a bargain finds something far darker, a thick liquid oozing from a car’s trunk. One call to the cops, and the lid pops open to reveal a corpse. No ID. No answers. Just a dead man waiting to ruin someone’s day. The dealer can’t produce a title, and suspicion spreads fast. Cari’s boss insists the man is innocent and sends her to clear his name. Brenington PD detectives Genevieve and Alex dig for answers, but the trail is already going cold. Cari’s newlywed life is pulling her focus, and the deeper she digs, the more tangled the lies become. If she misses a single clue, the killer may disappear for good, and the next shattered link could be her.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Do the dead ever revisit this earth? 
  On this subject even the ponderous and unsentimental Dr. Johnson was of opinion that to maintain they did not, was to oppose the concurrent and unvarying testimony of all ages and nations, as there was no people so barbarous, and none so civilized, but among whom apparitions of the dead were related and believed in. "That which is doubted by single cavillers," he adds, "can very little weaken the general evidence, and some who deny it with their tongues confess it by their fears." 
  In the August of last year I found myself with three friends, when on a northern tour, at the Hotel de Scandinavie, in the long and handsome Carl Johan Gade of Christiana. A single day, or little more, had sufficed us to "do" all the lions of the little Norwegian capital--the royal palace, a stately white building, guarded by slouching Norski riflemen in long coats, with wide-awakes and green plumes; the great brick edifice wherein the Storthing is held, and where the red lion appears on everything, from the king's throne to the hall-porter's coal-scuttle; the castle of Aggerhuis and its petty armoury, with a single suit of mail, and the long muskets of the Scots who fell at Rhomsdhal; after which there is nothing more to be seen; and when the little Tivoli gardens close at ten, all Christiana goes to sleep till dawn next morning.

  The Field Bazaar

  The Field Bazaar is a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published on November 20, 1896 in a special "Bazaar Number" of The Student, a publication of the students' representative council at Edinburgh University. It is a Sherlock Holmes story, published under Conan Doyle's byline and featuring both Holmes and his partner, Dr. John Watson. It is, however, treated by most experts as a parody or pastiche not suitable for inclusion in the traditional 60-story canon of Sherlock Holmes, though there are dissenters.Watson narrates "The Field Bazaar"—which mirrors the reality of Conan Doyle's gift of the story to The Student—from a first-person perspective.The story opens with Holmes and Watson at breakfast in the sitting-room of their residence at 221B Baker Street. Holmes infers from a handful of clues that an envelope Watson is holding contains an invitation to "help in the Edinburgh University Bazaar." He then concludes, to Watson's astonishment, "that the particular help which you have been asked to give was that you should write in their album, and that you have already made up your mind that the present incident will be the subject of your article." Holmes then returns to reading his morning newspaper.
