  By day, Jimmie Dale is a wealthy New York socialite with every privilege at his fingertips. By night, he becomes The Gray Seal—a daring, enigmatic figure who leaves behind a telltale gray diamond-shaped seal at the scene of each break-in. But unlike ordinary criminals, the Gray Seal’s exploits are driven by a higher purpose: exposing corruption, protecting the innocent, and dismantling the city’s underworld from within. 
  As Dale walks the razor’s edge between high society and the criminal underworld, he faces ruthless gang leaders, shadowy masterminds, and the ever-present risk of discovery. With his quick wit, masterful disguises, and fearless heart, he wages a thrilling battle for justice, one secret mission at a time. 
  First published in 1917, The Adventures of Jimmie Dale introduced readers to one of crime fiction’s earliest masked heroes, a character who would inspire generations of pulp, noir, and even modern superheroes. Fast-paced and full of intrigue, it remains a classic of early twentieth-century adventure literature.

  A thrilling literary fiction whodunit for fans of Delia Owens and Jacqueline Winspear 
   
   
   
  World War II is raging overseas, but life remains painfully quiet on the rugged New England fishing island of Fourth Cliff. With most of its able-bodied male inhabitants away in the service, the island is now home only to aged fishermen, concerned women and children, and second-rate soldiers guarding a low-priority military emplacement and camp for Italian POWs. 
   
   
   
  With her husband Archie, Fourth Cliff's beloved police captain, off fighting in the Marines, Mary Beth Swann steps into his role. Though a cop herself, she has to fight for the respect of Fourth Cliff's hardscrabble residents. And that's before a murdered POW surfaces in a fisherman's net, followed by more bodies. 
   
   
   
  Determined to find the killer, Swann must rely only on the help of a simple-minded deputy, a disgraced doctor, and a mob-connected mainlander to prove her worth to Fourth Cliff—and to herself. 
   
   
   
  In the tradition of Where the Crawdads Sing and the BBC's Foyle's War, Michael Oren's novel seizes the listener and doesn't let go until the very end.

  Luigi Ferro is engaged by the festival's organizer, amidst the frustration with the local gendarmerie's slow progress, to untangle a web of deceit and danger. 
  As Ferro delves into the glittering world of music and fame, he encounters a trio of suspects—a rival DJ, a spurned lover, and a shady promoter—each harboring motives as complex as the tunes that electrify the festival air. But as seductive distractions and misleading clues cloud his path, Ferro must navigate through a maze of hidden relationships and secret deals that could be the key to solving the case. 
  Set against the backdrop of San Marino's scenic beauty, "The Rhythm of Death" is a story where the melody of mystery deepens, danger dances in the shadows, and for Luigi Ferro, every beat could be a clue leading to the shocking revelation.
