  Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, are on an archaeologist dig, excavating sections of Hadrian's Wall, when they are summoned to Glamis Castle by King Edward. Nestled in the rugged Grampian Mountains, Glamis is the most historic castle in all of Scotland, a place teeming with dark secrets and haunting shadows. While Kate winds her way through the elaborate manor, gaining inspiration for her next Gothic novel, Lord Charles discovers the reason behind their journey. It seems Prince Eddy, heir to the throne until his purported death in 1892, has actually been alive all these years. Deemed unfit to rule, he has been living secretly at Glamis under an assumed name. But now the prince has gone missing—on the very morning the body of one of his servants was found, her throat slashed in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Ripper's. Now, Charles and his clever Kate must find Eddy and clear his name—while keeping his true identity a secret...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Seventeen-year-old Joel Martinez wakes up to sirens and flashing lights.  His elderly neighbors are dead—brutally murdered—and all evidence points to him. With gaps in his memory and blood on his clothes, even Joel begins to question his own sanity. 
   Sentenced to Blackvale Psychiatric Hospital, Joel thinks he's getting the help he desperately needs.  
  But behind the sterile walls and reassuring smiles, something is very, very wrong. The other patients whisper about disappeared friends and "enhanced treatments" that leave people... different.   
  They want him to forget. They want him compliant. They made one fatal mistake—underestimating how far he'll go to protect the people he loves. ⚡ 
  As Joel digs deeper into Blackvale's dark secrets, he realizes this isn't just about his case. Something bigger is happening here, something that goes far beyond one troubled teenager and a brutal crime. ️ 
  But the more he learns, the more dangerous his situation becomes. Now Joel must decide: accept the "treatment" and lose himself forever, or fight back against forces more powerful and terrifying than he ever imagined. ⚔️  Some prisons are built to hold your body. Others are designed to steal your soul. 
  A pulse-pounding psychological thriller that will leave you questioning everything. Perfect for fans of mind-bending suspense and institutional horror.

  Classic crime fiction's 'Indiana Jones' Tony Medawar unearths more unpublished and uncollected stories from the Golden Age of suspense. 
  ‘Five books in, and the selection here might well be the strongest yet. This series continues to delight with the high standard of forgotten gems that Medawar uncovers, and there’s sufficient range to ensure that all fans of the genre will find something to enjoy. Book 6 can’t come soon enough.’ 
  Jim Noy, author of The Red Death Murders 
  The end of the First World War saw the rise of an insatiable public appetite for clever and thrilling mystery fiction and a new kind of hero – the modern crime writer. As the genre soared in popularity, so did the inventiveness of its best authors, ushering in a “Golden Age” of detective fiction – two decades of exemplary mystery writing: the era of the whodunit, the impossible crime and the locked-room mystery, with stories that have thrilled and baffled generations of readers. 
  The Golden Age still casts a long shadow, with many of the authors who were published at that time still hugely popular today. Aside from novels, they all wrote short fiction – stories, serials and plays – and although many have been republished in books over the last 100 years, Bodies from the Library collects the ones that are impossible to find: stories that appeared in a newspaper, magazine or an anthology that has long been out of print; ephemeral works such as plays not aired, staged or screened for decades; and unpublished stories that were absorbed into an author’s archive when they died . . . 
  Complete with fascinating biographies by Tony Medawar of all the featured authors, this latest volume in the annual Bodies from the Library series once again brings into the daylight the forgotten, the lost and the unknown, and is an indispensable collection for any bookshelf. 
  The historical thrillers in this collection are top-notch, showcasing the traditional storytelling techniques that made the Golden Age of detective fiction so beloved. Each story is a journey back in time, a thrilling ride filled with suspense and intrigue. 
  For fans of Carter Dickson (The White Priory Murders), E.C.R. Lorac (Death of an Author), John Dickson Carr (The Black Spectacles), Christianna Brand (Suddenly at His Residence), and Tony Medawar (Ghosts from the Library).
