Sherlock Holmes: The Ultimate...

Pennie Mae Cartawick

Ten Compelling Sherlock Holmes Crime Mysteries in One Complete Audiobook"The Game of Cat and Mouse": There came a ticking of some clock or another. And the sound of a dripping faucet somewhere in the house was like a hammer to an anvil. Our breaths were loud, but my heart sounded louder to me."The Mystery of the Faceless Bride": The bride carried no decaying roses, but her bridal dress was torn and burnt. Her bare legs, starved needle points, staggered disjointedly."The Case of the Cracked Mirror": The fireman had seen a skeleton wearing a dress coat, whose head was aflame. I was deeply worried for the missing young woman."A Strange Affair with the Woman on the Tracks": They began to struggle. Henry was the stronger out of the two, yet the woman's pain was unstoppable. His hands wrapped around her throat, and Jane clawed at his face until she fell."The Curse of a Native": Adams had violently slapped Kimilu so hard that the sheer force had floored the waiter, and the usually humble waiter had lost it."The Mystery of the Poisoned Tomb": "Ah good morning, John. If we do not hurry then we shall miss the unveiling of the sarcophagus." Holmes and I made our way through. They had been waiting for us. I couldn't wait to see if there really was a pharaoh in the next room."The Case of the Missing Mayan Codices": "I do not suppose that you have brought your revolver with you, Watson?" I shook my head to indicate that my response was in the negative to his question."Murders on the Voyage to India": "Murder." The scream echoed down the hallway, shaking me from my slumber and into the dim vision of the electric lights.Plus more....

Night Terrors - A Daniel Rinaldi...

Dennis Palumbo, Poisoned Pen Press

Night Terrors is the third in the critically acclaimed mystery series featuring psychologist and trauma expert Daniel Rinaldi.
In the midst of a brutally cold winter in Pittsburgh, Daniel Rinaldi is asked to treat Lyle Barnes, a retired FBI profiler whose terrifying nocturnal visions cause him to wake up screaming. Barnes, after twenty years spent inside the minds of the nation's worst serial killers, is not only falling apart psychologically but also finds himself the target of an unknown assassin, whose mounting list of victims is paralyzing the city. Hidden for his own protection by his former bureau colleagues, Barnes secretly escapes, drawing Daniel and a joint task force of the FBI and the Pittsburgh Police Department into a desperate manhunt. They must try to find the missing agent before the killer does.
Meanwhile, another case competes for Daniel's attention. The mother of a young confessed killer, now in jail in nearby West Virginia and awaiting trial, is convinced that her son is innocent and appeals to Daniel for help. Against his better judgment, he becomes involved but soon realizes that much about the case is not as it appears.
As time is running out, Daniel uncovers an unexpected web of murder and madness that not only connects the two investigations but also puts his own life at risk. Complicating matters further is his deepening relationship with the beautiful Detective Eleanor Lowrey. Will the danger closing in around him threaten to ensnare her as well?
