  Step into the shadowed streets of Victorian London with The Cabman’s Story, a gripping crime fiction short story by Arthur Conan Doyle. Told through the keen, world-weary voice of a London cabman, this atmospheric tale reveals how ordinary professions often brush against extraordinary—and dangerous—secrets. Through two unforgettable encounters, the cabman recounts transporting a mysterious corpse placed in his cab under suspicious circumstances, and later becoming an unwitting accomplice to a clever banknote forger who hides criminal activity behind routine fares. 
  Rich in period detail and moral ambiguity, The Cabman’s Story explores crime, deception, and human nature as seen from the driver’s seat of London’s underbelly. Doyle masterfully captures the tension between respectability and corruption in late 19th-century society, offering readers a compact yet haunting glimpse into the hidden lives that move through the city after dark. Ideal for fans of classic crime fiction, Victorian mysteries, and character-driven storytelling, this short story lingers long after the final page.

  Wyatt steals $ 50,000 and a sought-after piece of jewelry in a burglary of a politician's house. Wyatt snatches the cash easily enough. He bypasses the alarm system, eludes the cops, makes it safely back to his bolthole in Hobart. It’s the diamond-studded Tiffany brooch - and perhaps the girl - that brings him undone. Now some very hard people want to put Wyatt and that brooch out of circulation. But this is Wyatt's game and Wyatt sets the rules - even if it means a reckoning somewhere far from home. 
   
  Port Vila Blues is Wyatt's fifth heist. It's faster than ever, racing towards the inevitable confrontation on a clifftop above the deceptively calm waters of Port Vila Bay. 
   
  "In a murky world where the cops are robbers, old-style crim Wyatt positively shines. Clear taut writing - not a word wasted." MARELE DAY, author of Lambs of God 
   
  "Tough, violent, relentless and thoroughly convincing." STUART COUPE, author of The Roadies 
   
  "To Disher's usual brisk pacing, add heaps of noir...a banquet for those who like it uncut and unsparing." KIRKUS REVIEWS

  High school best friends Rose and Dax each have a secret—they like the other in a way they shouldn't in 1920s Prohibition Era California. After sharing a first kiss, they're forced apart—each sent to a different city to account for their sin. 
   
   
   
  Rose lands in the coastal tourist city of Half Moon Bay in virtual servitude, working for a distant cousin for pennies. Dax has an idyllic existence in San Francisco, living with her married sister. Then the fates change. Rose escapes her miserable circumstance and lives a full life after landing a job as a lounge singer at an underground speakeasy. Dax wears out her welcome with her brother-in-law, and she and her sister end up tending to inherited property—a restaurant in Half Moon Bay. 
   
   
   
  After nine years, Dax and Rose cross paths again but is it too late for them? Lovers and past loves, greedy businessmen, whiskey, and the quest for a quick buck make it nearly impossible to pick things up where they left off. Will the lives they've led keep them apart? Or will Dax and Rose defy the odds and find a way to be together?
