Beschreibung

Nothing is black and white—even in a blizzard—which British sleuth Patrick Dawlish is about to discover when he’s snowed in with thieves and murderers.   Between the spirit and the letter of the law, Patrick Dawlish is all for the spirit, which is why he has friends in both high and low places. Like Barney Day, for example. The former fence has retired and is making a go at a respectable life by moving to the country and opening a gallery. But no one can leave the past behind that easily . . .   After braving a blizzard to get to Day’s housewarming party, Dawlish and his wife, Felicity, find an empty cottage—except for the body of a murdered policeman. Day and his housekeeper are missing. Dawlish knows that such sixteenth-century homes usually come with secret passages. And his instincts are correct, for in the walls of the house lurk desperate killers. With no escape for any of them, Dawlish must keep Felicity safe while trying to survive one of the most unusual—and deadly—cases of his career.

    Some trials are fought in court. Others burn everything down. 
    Sheriff Rebecca West knows she’s being watched. She’s seen the same car parked along the road—always at a distance, always watching. Even more concerning, the man with damning evidence against the senator tied to her parents’ deaths claims he’s being followed too. 
    Something’s very wrong…again. 
    But she doesn’t have time to worry about all that because she’s staring at a blazing inferno on the shores of Shadow Island—where a boat sits perched atop a car, both engulfed in flames. The wreck is baffling. The boat must have hit land at full speed, launching into the parking lot before exploding. But why didn’t it slow down? And more chillingly—why is the man at the helm already dead, stabbed before the crash? 
    This isn’t just an accident. It’s a message. 
    With half the puzzle pieces missing and the other half reduced to ash, Rebecca and her team must fight fire with fire, all while watching her back as the past closes in. Because a cornered man with nothing left to lose isn’t just the most dangerous thing on the planet—he won’t go down alone. He’ll take everyone with him. 
    Shadow’s Collision, the nineteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, will make you think twice about disturbing the peace.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Six months after surviving the Nocturne case, Elena Méndez thought the horror was behind her. Then comes the letter, sealed in black wax, naming her the sole heir to Blackwood Manor — a forgotten estate in Hollow Creek where memories linger like rot and the past whispers through the walls. 
    What begins as a legal formality quickly unravels into a nightmare. Lamps burn with thick, red oil. A well in the garden sings with voices that are not human. Diaries, letters, and forgotten rituals reveal a family legacy soaked in blood: every generation of the Blackwood line must feed “The Guest,” an ancient entity bound by a pact — in exchange for prosperity, power… and silence. 
    As Elena descends into the house’s secrets, she uncovers the truth of her lineage, the madness of her ancestors, and the price of surviving what lives beneath the floorboards. Told through atmospheric chapters and interludes drawn from 19th-century journals, medical reports, and recorded confessions, Never Turn Off the Light is a slow-burning gothic horror novel that blends psychological dread with occult mythology. 
    Fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Mexican Gothic, and The Silent Companions will find themselves right at home — if “home” is a place with blood-soaked walls and a mirror that smiles before you do. 
    The Blackwood house doesn’t want to be inhabited. It wants to be fed.

    You can't go home again . . . but can you return to the life you've made? 
     
     
     
    After a harrowing experience in her childhood town, Detective Trinity Calhoun has at last been cleared to return to her job at the Vancouver PD—but with a caveat. Her boss insists that she eases back into it by being chained to a desk. Trinity understands the request. She knows it's reasonable. But that doesn't mean she likes it. Or will abide by it. 
     
     
     
    And the desk, it seems, is the last place she can be. Because someone is stalking her. Baiting her. Using her long-solved domestic abuse cases to draw her out. And whoever the culprit is, they know an awful lot more about her than she does about them. Soon, everything Trinity values is on the line: her memories, her reputation, even her sanity. Nowhere is safe, and she can't trust anyone offering her help—including her closest allies. 
     
     
     
    But is putting faith in only herself enough to stay alive? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    American Alana Eastwood is researching her family tree. Remarkably, Alana traces her Eastwood lineage to an African child, living at Wortley Hall Manor on England's 1801 census. The boy is known as Otobong. 
     
     
     
    Alana believes Otobong to be her earliest traceable ancestor and plans to visit her distant relatives still living in Nottingham. Discovering he was connected to a homicide in 1835 sets Alana on a mission to prove his innocence. 
     
     
     
    Then the body of a man turns up on a beach in Mississippi, eerily close to where Alana's father was born. When the police identify the corpse as her estranged cousin, Sigmund Griegg suspects foul play and gets involved. 
     
     
     
    From an Arabian stallion shipwrecked off Africa in 1798, to a mysterious death at a posh English estate in 1835, to the Renahta Plantation as President Lincoln signs the Emancipation Proclamation, the international intrigue surrounding Alana's pedigree does not disappoint. 
     
     
     
    The sleuthing team you've come to love knows murder never gets old . . . motives like revenge, greed, and passion are timeless. As Alana untangles the matters engulfing her family for generations, she comes to appreciate just how much family matters.

    Neel is a journalist drawn to war zones. It's in these spaces riven by conflict that his sense of dislocation, of not belonging anywhere, drops off him. At all other times, he's in quest, seeking solid ground: a home. It is a pursuit that takes him halfway across the world to America and back to the urban dystopia of Delhi, headlong into fleeting relationships that glimmer with the promise of shelter 
    Is Neel—haunted by the past and exiled from the present—likely to find what he desires in ephemeral associations? Will he chance upon the quiet anchorage he seeks in short-term dwellings and the objects he gathers within them-coffee percolators and rugs, posters and penknives? Or is the home he so badly wants elsewhere? Not in the noise and blood and lust outside, but in some sanctuary within? 
    Our Friends in Good Houses—renowned journalist Rahul Pandita's first novel-takes a precarious double journey, into the world and into the heart.  
    Vulnerable, provocative and astute, it is one of the finest explorations yet of the long road to a place called home.
