The Tenth Round Truth - A Final Fight a Fixed Result and the Punch That Never Landed

J. K. Maddox

Summary

In the brutal world of boxing, there’s no mercy for aging contenders—only questions that come too late. When a forgotten underdog knocks out the reigning champ in the final round, the world crowns a new hero. But behind the glory lies a punch that didn't land the way it should have... and a fall that felt too easy.
 
Haunted by the silence in the champ’s eyes as he went down, the new titleholder spirals into a maze of memories, regrets, and uncomfortable truths. As he digs into the past and confronts the sacrifices made along the way, he’s forced to ask what kind of victory can be built on doubt—and what it means when your greatest win might have been handed to you.
 
This is not a story of triumph. It’s a story of what happens after the bell.
 
A slow-burn, introspective noir where truth and silence square off in the aftermath of a fight that changed everything.
 
Was it redemption—or a debt repaid in disguise?

Twisted River

James Dunbar

It’s not only the guilty who have something to hide.

When charity worker Cate and website designer Rory, a married couple in their thirties, return from their European holiday, they make a nightmare discovery. Their credit cards have been cancelled, their bank account has been emptied, and their phones and internet have been cut off. Their home in the New South Wales coastal town of Kiama has been rented out as a holiday let, and their dog and pet-sitter have disappeared. Meanwhile, Cate's work colleagues have received copies of her handwritten resignation letter, posted from Paris, filled with insults and lurid allegations.

The pain isn't over yet, not by a long shot. Someone has set out to destroy Cate and Rory Porter's lives - and their anonymous enemy's motivations are a mystery.

As the harassment ramps up, some likely suspects emerge. Is it the anti-vax campaigners who have already targeted them over Rory's website for dog owners? Or maybe a pro-Russian activist who objects to Cate's work with Ukrainian refugees?

To make matters worse, the local police seem suspicious of their allegations. Cate and Rory quickly realise the only way to reclaim their lives - and their beloved poodle cross, Iris - is to find their tormentor themselves. And it isn't long before things turn dangerous. Deadly dangerous.

Full of sinister twists and turns, dark humour and a fascinating cast of supporting characters from society's shadowy fringes, Twisted River will grip you until the final cliffhanger ending.

'A premise that's all too real. Twisted River will have you hooked from start to finish ... but you may never go on holiday again.' MICHAEL BRISSENDEN

Pharaoh's Treasure

Anonymous

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
This is the second book by Brian Phillipson. The first, Thor's Hammer, introduced the two main characters of Eric Swanson and Gerry Denton. The second book, Pharaoh's Treasure, again sees the two battling the bad guys this time by accident rather than design. Pharaoh's Treasure is a stand alone book that, although a sequel, is not a direct follow on from the first.
