    A contested presidential election leads to a national crisis in this “masterful political thriller . . . loaded with intrigue and counter-intrigue” (Richard Condon, author of The Manchurian Candidate). At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the CIA has been disbanded and a secret society has taken hold of powerful positions across Washington. After a long and contentious campaign, President Bedford Lockwood is celebrating his reelection. But the revelry is cut short when it’s discovered that his over-zealous aides may have tampered with the vote. On the eve of the Inauguration, Lockwood’s rival—the archconservative Franklin Mallory—presents evidence of fraud. When Lockwood refuses to take the oath of office, it sets in motion a series of events that may destroy him, his party, and the Constitution. From this catastrophic crisis, acclaimed author and former Washington journalist Charles McCarry weaves a smart, tense, and eerily prescient political thriller.“Not only exceptionally suspenseful but also unnervingly realistic….gripping and intricate.” —The Washington Post

    🎷 In the sultry shadows of 1918 New Orleans, death has a rhythm all its own. 
    When a string of brutal, axe-wielding murders shatters the city’s uneasy peace, Detective Louis Beaulieu is thrust into a chilling hunt for a phantom whose only calling cards are shattered skulls and bloodstained jazz notes. As fear grips the streets, the elusive Axeman sends a nightmarish ultimatum to the public: play jazz through the night—or face the blade. 
    With each new body, the line between madness and music blurs. Beneath the surface of this city steeped in secrets, something darker is composing a symphony of terror. Beaulieu must navigate a twisted maze of smoke-filled clubs, cryptic messages, and haunted minds—where every clue is a note in a macabre composition, and silence could be the prelude to death. 
    As the killer’s melody crescendos, Beaulieu faces a truth more sinister than he ever imagined—one that threatens to consume him and the soul of New Orleans itself. 
    The Axeman of New Orleans is a heart-pounding historical thriller where jazz and horror intertwine. Prepare to leave the lights on—and the music playing. 🔊 
    Some symphonies should never be heard...🎶

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Six months after surviving the Nocturne case, Elena Méndez thought the horror was behind her. Then comes the letter, sealed in black wax, naming her the sole heir to Blackwood Manor — a forgotten estate in Hollow Creek where memories linger like rot and the past whispers through the walls. 
    What begins as a legal formality quickly unravels into a nightmare. Lamps burn with thick, red oil. A well in the garden sings with voices that are not human. Diaries, letters, and forgotten rituals reveal a family legacy soaked in blood: every generation of the Blackwood line must feed “The Guest,” an ancient entity bound by a pact — in exchange for prosperity, power… and silence. 
    As Elena descends into the house’s secrets, she uncovers the truth of her lineage, the madness of her ancestors, and the price of surviving what lives beneath the floorboards. Told through atmospheric chapters and interludes drawn from 19th-century journals, medical reports, and recorded confessions, Never Turn Off the Light is a slow-burning gothic horror novel that blends psychological dread with occult mythology. 
    Fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Mexican Gothic, and The Silent Companions will find themselves right at home — if “home” is a place with blood-soaked walls and a mirror that smiles before you do. 
    The Blackwood house doesn’t want to be inhabited. It wants to be fed.
