In this action-packed crime thriller, British sleuth Patrick Dawlish learns that WWII can bleed violence where you least expect it . . .   Since the beginning of World War II, Patrick Dawlish has been in the service of British Intelligence but is still able to help out Scotland Yard in his usual unofficial capacity. This proves handy when Dawlish’s fellow club member Robbie Graham reveals he has recently survived numerous attempts on his life.   Graham has just been transferred from Libya to London, which means that whoever wants him dead knows troop movements. After thwarting an attacker from pushing Graham into the Thames, Dawlish learns that his friend isn’t the only person being threatened.

Ian Bragg. A hitman with a conscience.

Fifth Wrath (An Alex Quinn...

Rylie Dark

This recording has been digitally produced by Rylie Dark, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. Interpol agent Alex Quinn, 29, born to Italian-Turkish parents, is a multi-lingual genius. With an advanced degree in Criminal Psychology from a university in France and a PHD from a Germany university, Alex was recruited by Interpol at the age of 25—their youngest recruit—because of her encyclopedic knowledge of serial killers. In a desolate landscape in Turkey, a body is found murdered beside the flames of Chimaera—victim of a serial killer with a twisted theology, and whose work is just beginning—unless Alex can stop him in time.

“A brilliant book. I couldn’t put it down and I never guessed who the murderer was!”

The Day He Left

Frederick Weisel

Annie has fallen out of the habit of listening to her husband. She and Paul have been married for a long time; it's easy to nod as he drones on, responding to his voice while completely ignoring every word he says. That becomes a problem, of course, when Paul disappears and the police have questions. Was Paul having issues at work? Is there any reason to think he might harm himself? Annie doesn't know. But someone does. An unsettling photo found amongst Paul's things turns the investigation toward his job as a middle-school teacher and a troubled girl who is hiding secrets of her own. But what exactly happened to Paul on the day he left for work and never made it to the classroom? Is his disappearance related to a local heroin-trafficking operation? As Eddie Mahler and the members of the Santa Rosa Violent Crime Investigations Team rush to find him, they discover that members of his family have hidden lives of their own and that Paul may not have been running away but toward something that could ruin his career and marriage—and even cost his life.
