Beschreibung

Having tried his hand at medicine, pickpocketing, and good old-fashioned thuggery, Seamus Caron has finally settled into life as a private detective, hunting down lost money and wandering husbands. It’s not glamorous work, but it pays the bills and provides a steady supply of fistfights for entertainment. The job also keeps him close to his best friend, Sandra Blair, a homicide detective for the Toronto Police. But when she calls in a favor on a murder case, Seamus realizes that the victim is a notorious mob lawyer, putting an end to what little stability and safety he’d managed to scrape together.
		 
Seamus must find the killer before the murder sparks an all-out gang war. Luckily, he’s got help — a confidence man turned barman, the finest cook in Little Chinatown, and Maxwell Moscovitz, his new secretary. She has the mental sharpness and moral flexibility for the job, but she also has a few secrets of her own.
		 
Seamus begins to suspect a connection between the murder and a new drug on the street known as Platinum, which promises obscene profits for its suppliers, euphoria for its users, and a shockingly high death rate. As he investigates suspicious overdoses, Seamus can’t help hearing echoes of his past and the tragedy he’s spent 20 years trying to forget. Caught between the police, the mob, and an anonymous killer, Seamus will need to face his demons, or he just might lose it all.

    "The Lodger" by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a suspenseful novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Robert and Ellen Bunting, a struggling couple living in a modest home in London, whose lives are forever changed when they take in a peculiar lodger named Mr. Sleuth. The Buntings are on the brink of poverty, and while Mr. Sleuth seems like a potential solution to their financial woes, his enigmatic demeanor and deep interest in dark subjects create an unsettling atmosphere. 
    The novel introduces the Buntings in their dreary living conditions, emphasizing their economic struggles and emotional turmoil. Mr. Bunting is portrayed as a somewhat dull man trying to maintain his dignity despite their impending financial disaster, while Mrs. Bunting grapples with despair over their situation. Their lives take a dramatic turn when a series of brutal murders, attributed to a figure known as "The Avenger," begin to plague the city, coinciding with Mr. Sleuth's arrival and his odd behavior. 
    The couple's initial relief at securing a lodger sharply contrasts with the growing suspense surrounding Mr. Sleuth and the violent events occurring outside their home. This creates an atmosphere of intrigue and tension as they navigate their precarious circumstances.

    In the wake of unspeakable loss, Jason Marks finds himself spiraling into despair. After the tragic death of his daughter, Judith, and the collapse of his marriage and career, he seeks solace in the bottom of a bottle, lost in the shadows of grief. But everything changes when he meets Elena, a woman with an impossible gift—she can channel the voices of the dead. 
    Skeptical yet desperate, Jason agrees to record these supernatural conversations for his struggling podcast, Echoes. As he interviews the spirits of iconic figures like Vincent van Gogh, Robin Williams, Kurt Cobain, and Sylvia Plath, his podcast skyrockets in popularity. But with each conversation, the voices grow more intense, more demanding—and the line between healing and haunting begins to blur. 
    When Elena reveals that the spirits have turned their attention to Jason's late daughter, Judith, he must confront the devastating choice between surrendering to the seductive pull of grief or finding the courage to reconnect with the living. 
    Echoes is a heart-wrenching exploration of loss, redemption, and the perilous allure of lingering in our darkest moments. Dr. Emrani’s lyrical prose takes readers on a journey through the painful labyrinth of grief, offering not only a profound understanding of personal loss but also a hopeful reminder that even in the deepest wounds, light can grow. For anyone facing the shadows of anxiety, depression, or PTSD from life-altering loss, Echoes is a compassionate and transformative story that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.
