    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.

    All coppers have a first case. His might also be his last.
     
    Inverness, December 2015.
     
    The streets are frozen, the days are short, and Constable Tyler Neish is entirely out of his depth.
     
    Fresh out of training, Tyler is desperate to make a good impression. He wants to seem capable, commanding, and professional. Unfortunately, he’s mostly known for falling over in the snow and being terrified of his own shadow.
     
    But when sixteen-year-old Laura Wilder goes missing, the job suddenly gets personal. To the weary brass at Burnett Road Police Station, Laura is just a low-risk repeat runaway who’ll be home by dinner time. To Tyler, she’s his best mate’s little sister, and he knows that something is wrong.
     
    Ordered to stay in his lane by the bureaucratic nightmare that is Chief Inspector “Snecky” Grant, and threatened with grisly dismemberment by the terrifying Detective Superintendent Hoon, Tyler must make a choice: follow orders and keep his job, or go rogue and save a life.For Tyler, that isn't a choice at all.
     
    Armed only with a notebook, damp trousers, and a near total lack of common sense, the rookie constable plunges headlong into the freezing city to uncover the truth.
     
    But in the Highlands of Scotland, the truth is like ice—slippery, dangerous, and liable to break if you push it too hard.
     
    First Among the Dead is a standalone prequel novella following the early adventures of fan favourite character DC Tyler Neish from the DCI Jack Logan series, and the perfect introduction to the world and characters of bestselling Scottish crime fiction author, JD Kirk. Narrated by John Scougall.

    From the acclaimed author of the Harlem Detectives series, a brilliant, short novel about a tragic death and a wrongful conviction 
     
     
     
    Spare and powerful, A Case of Rape chronicles a tragic miscarriage of justice. Mrs. Elizabeth Hancock Brissard, a white woman, has died in Paris under mysterious circumstances. She had overdosed on an aphrodisiac, and there was evidence she had been sexually assaulted. A French couple witnessed four black men attempting to push her out a window before she died. The trial that followed was summary, and its verdict convicting the four men of rape was practically a foregone conclusion. But was it true? A riveting mystery but also a mordant critique of racism and sexism, and featuring an introduction by Calvin C. Hernton, A Case of Rape is the fablelike story of doomed love and justice. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Landlord Gabriel Angueira is trying to put his life back together. His teenage daughter, Megan, was seriously injured in a car accident caused by her own drunk driving, though Gabe blames himself. Since the accident he has spent every day taking care of her, reflecting on his failures as a father, and trying to rebuild his relationship with his ex-wife, Anya.

Gabe knows nothing about this mysterious woman, but she knows a lot about him—and quickly begins destroying the house from the inside out. Gabe soon realizes she’s specifically targeted him and the house on Shadow Drive but has no idea why. 
    Now Gabe must figure out who this woman is before she unearths his family’s secrets and takes down the house—along with his entire life as he knows it.
