  Prime Minister Robert Saleh feels helpless as his economy stagnates year after year. When a representative of the shadowy organization known as Armageddon offers funding for several national-level infrastructure projects, he can’t resist signing an overly expansive contract. News of this secret agreement, which includes a level of mercenary support for national security, sparks international concern. 
  Saleh hopes to play Armageddon’s investments against those of Australia and the United States, who’d focused their interest and resources elsewhere. Unfortunately, the cash flowing into Saleh’s pockets blinds him to the devastating consequences he’d unilaterally set in motion. 
  Gar Randolph and his ever-changing team of technical experts receive the call to keep an eye on things. “Remain unseen and unnoticed. More importantly, neutralize anything that isn’t in the best interest of the Saintly Islands.”   
  Events escalate until Gar takes decisive action.

  There’s something fishy going on in the Unnatural Quarter. 
  Bodies are floating face-down, the plumbing is backing up, and something smells rotten—even to a zombie detective like Dan Shamble. Diving into the slimy underbelly of a diabolical plot, Dan comes face-to-tentacles with an amphibious villain named Ah’Chulhu (to which the usual response is “Gesundheit!”). 
  With his snap-happy gang of gator-guys—former pets flushed down the toilet—Ah’Chulhu wreaks havoc beneath the streets. 
  While feuding weather wizards kick up storms and a gang of thieving lawn gnomes continues their reign of terror, Dan Shamble is running out of time—before the whole stinking city goes down the drain…

  Midwife Sarah Malloy and her private detective husband Frank discover that the cure is worse than the disease when they investigate the death of a promising young woman in this atmospheric, riveting mystery from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Murder on Bedford Street. 
  Sarah Malloy has just helped with the delivery of a bouncing baby girl at her women's clinic, when she receives a visit from an engaging and determined young woman writing an article for New Century Magazine. Louisa Rodgers explains that she is researching the dangers of patent remedies. Sarah is only too happy to tell Louisa exactly what she thinks of the so-called medicines whose ingredients include heavy doses of alcohol and other addictive drugs, and hurt much more than they help. 
  A few days later, Sarah receives a visit from a bereft Bernard Rodgers, who explains that his daughter, Louisa, has been found strangled in the lobby of the building where New Century has its offices. The police have decided it was a random attack and have made no attempt to investigate, hinting that Louisa got what she deserved for sticking her nose where it didn't belong. Sarah wants justice for the bright young woman but as she and Frank delve deeper into Louisa's life, they find that nothing is quite as it seemed and Louisa is not who she claimed to be. The Malloys must first solve the mystery of Louisa's life before they can figure out who wanted to see her dead...

  Winner of two book awards — Global Book Awards (Silver, Mystery/Detective) and NYC Big Book Award (Distinguished Favorite). 
  Now the gritty Detective Mystery thriller comes to life in immersive, cinematic audio with surround-style sound design and on-scene effects—be in the crime scene. 
  Detective Charlie Dawson has seen more chaos than most men survive. Once the department’s sharpest mind, now the city whispers he’s past his prime. The chief saddles him with a rookie team—bright, eager, and far too green for what’s coming. Every lead drags them deeper into a cursed case that won’t let go. 
  In the shadows of the investigation stands Thomas Caldwell—a decorated soldier turned military ghost. The kind of man who doesn’t appear in databases, only in after-action reports that end in black ink and burned pages. His presence shifts the case from ordinary homicide to something buried deep in government silence. Caldwell moves like a man still following orders no one remembers giving—precision in his steps, vengeance in his pulse, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. 
  But then there’s Ms. Rose—a reporter with a razor-sharp eye and the rare ability to reach Dawson in ways no one else can. Yet every time she gets close, Caldwell’s shadow and Dawson’s mission collide—and if she does, they’ll all end up caught in the crossfire. 
  Two men. Both trained to survive. 
  One driven by duty. The other by revenge. 
  When they collide—only chaos wins. 
  Set in a twisted alternate version of the Big East, Ding Dong Ditch fuses police-procedural tension, hard-boiled grit, and psychological warfare into a relentless detective story of vengeance, loyalty, and survival. Tied to the independent film, this edition features layered soundscapes, precise cue hits, and visceral effects that put you on the pavement beside the evidence tape. 
  Perfect for fans of dark crime thrillers, noir detectives, and edge-of-your-seat procedurals.
