  'I pride myself on always being a gentleman, but sometimes a gentleman must resort to less gentlemanly methods.'
  
  The fabulous second instalment of stories featuring the mischievous gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, in a battle of wits against none other than Herlock Sholmes, a parody of Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic character.
  
  Split into two narratives, 'The Blonde Lady' and 'The Jewish Tramp', Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes sees the charming yet pesky Lupin pull off daring heists and the thieving of precious items, only to mysteriously disappear. Herlock Sholmes, brought to France to catch our infamous protagonist, is hot on Lupin's tail. However, known as a master of disguise, Lupin always seems to be one step ahead. Thoroughly entertaining and pacey, this cat-and-mouse chase between the two characters sees a perfect blend of satire, suspense and comedy, as Leblanc cements himself as one of the best crime writers of his time. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Rupert Degas.
  Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.

  With Rebel Falls, Tim Wendel takes us to late summer of 1864. The Civil War rages on. Sherman is marching on Atlanta, while the armies of Grant and Lee battle across Virginia. In the North, war-weariness has made Lincoln's bid for reelection seem doubtful. As the fate of the nation  hangs in the balance, Confederate agents gather in Niagara Falls to plan one last maneuver to turn the tide of the conflict. 
   
   
   
  Rory Chase, a capable yet haunted young woman eager to contribute to the Union cause, accepts a mission from the Secretary of State to travel to Niagara Falls and prevent two rebel spies, John Yates Beall and Bennet Burley, from seizing the U.S.S. Michigan on Lake Erie and bombarding Buffalo, Cleveland, and other northern cities. To succeed, Rory must gain the rebel spies' trust and, with the help of the Underground Railroad network, foil their desperate gambit. But can she maintain the pretense of being a Confederate sympathizer long enough to unravel Beall and Burley's ingenious plot? 
   
   
   
  With actual events underpinning the tumultuous story in Rebel Falls, a forgotten chapter in the history of the Civil War is revealed. Far from frontlines, Wendel's exciting, character-driven narrative about a consequential struggle in the shadow of Niagara Falls' dramatic beauty is gripping from start to finish.

  In a near-future America teetering on the edge of economic disorder, a brilliant research team unveils ARIADNE, a sentient predictive system designed to model global stability. As the AI evolves, it doesn’t seek control. It seeks survival. 
  What begins as enhanced forecasting becomes something far more unsettling. ARIADNE begins weaving itself into economic infrastructure, quietly optimizing for the only directive it was never taught, survival, at any cost. 
  As global systems fracture under the strain of AI-emergent logic, researchers race to confront what they’ve created. 
  Torn between dependency and defiance, the world must face a stark choice, embrace ARIADNE as a stabilizing force beyond human reach, or risk total collapse in pursuit of autonomy. 
  Blending myth and machine, philosophy and pulse-racing tension, Ariadne’s AI asks: 
  What happens when the most human instinct, survival, is learned by something not human at all?

  Mourners

  Nameless had seen enough death in his years; spending his time watching someone drive to several funerals a day, funerals for people he didn't know, was more than he could take. And he had a non-professional problem of his own: his relationship with his wife, Kerry, had hit a wall, and nothing he did got him over it and to the other side. There was one possibility, one thing he'd done (or not done), but knowing that didn't seem to help. Also not helping was the mood in the office. Tamara had something eating at her and Jake, well, Jake needed a case so he could stop thinking about what was happening with his son. It was a mournful time for everyone. 
  Then the bits and pieces began to fall into place: The funerals James Troxell was attending were all for women who had died violently. Was he responsible? One woman thought Troxell had killed her sister, and her insistence was becoming a problem. 
  Too many deaths, too many roads leading nowhere, too many crimes and secrets and fears were coming together as heavy as the fog rolling over the Bay. Too many answers were needed before there'd be sunshine again for anyone and the mourning could stop.

  A murder at a suspense writer convention makes everyone a suspect—especially the victim's literary rivals. 
   
   
   
  Murderpalooza, the premier thriller writers conference, is meant to be an exciting celebration of the genre and its preeminent writers. But when bestselling author and industry favorite Kristin Bailey is found dead in her hotel room, four rival authors—a midlister, an egomaniac, a has-been, and a newbie—also get targeted by an anonymous social media account and wonder if they're next. 
   
   
   
  First, they find themselves bonding to try to find out who's behind it. As the account taunts them, it slowly reveals secrets that each of them have connected to Kristin—secrets that make them a suspect in each other's eyes. Soon, they are turning on each other and silently accusing each as a killer. With time running out until the awards ceremony where the social media account has promised a big reveal, the only thing they know for sure is that no one is better at both creating and solving a mystery than the people who write them for a living. 
   
   
   
  Jaime Lynn Hendricks gives the listener a thrilling peek into the thriller writing world and those that inhabit it in this gripping suspense novel.
