Sinopse

Patrick Dawlish is used to solving crimes, not being suspected of them—until now, in this Golden Age British mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
Patrick Dawlish has to admire Marion Ard’s persistence. After first writing and telephoning, she shows up on his doorstep, begging for his help. Marion is convinced that a strange man has been following her for the last seven months. Tired of the police ignoring her pleas, she has turned to Dawlish as a last resort. But Dawlish and his wife are leaving on a much-needed holiday the following morning. All he can do is ask his friend Tim Jeremy to shadow her for the next few days.  
 
Weeks into the cruise, Dawlish gets a letter from Tim. Not only was Marion being followed, but she’s disappeared. And then, her body is found—in a trunk in Dawlish’s home. Catching the next flight back, Dawlish finds himself in a position he’s never been in before—the prime suspect in a murder. With Tim missing, it becomes clear that someone has put into motion the perfect plan to take him down, but it’s never smart to count Dawlish out . . .

Where You Go (A Kelly Cruz...

Rylie Dark

This recording has been digitally produced by Rylie Dark, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. Bounty hunter Kelly Cruz, with her dark past, is as tough as they come, working solo given her aversion towards authority, living in a bad neighborhood with her rescue pitbull and refusing to take a fee. But when a desperate father comes knocking with a one million dollar bounty, pleading with her to find his daughter, who he insists was taken by a serial killer, a case ignored by the FBI, Kelly can’t resist.
