  In The Chimes, Charles Dickens offers a haunting and redemptive New Year’s tale that strikes at the heart of Victorian society’s neglect of the poor. Toby “Trotty” Veck, a humble ticket-porter beset by poverty and self-doubt, finds himself disillusioned with a world that seems to deem people like him worthless. But when the tolling of ancient church bells guides him into a strange and supernatural realm, Trotty is granted a powerful vision of what could be—if compassion and faith are rekindled. 
  This emotionally charged novella, narrated with warmth and gravity by Stuart Bentley, explores the themes of social justice, the dignity of the working class, and the hope of personal and societal transformation. Both ghostly and uplifting, The Chimes is a deeply moral tale wrapped in Dickens’ signature gothic atmosphere, ideal for fans of A Christmas Carol and those seeking timeless stories of conscience and redemption.

  Anxious to get married, thirty-year-old Virginia Carey lands a job as an operator at a police tip line, where she thinks finding a husband will be easy. There’s Charlie Ford, a surprisingly sweet homicide detective, and charming police chief Declan “Deck” Brady. But just as Virginia’s plans begin to fall into place and she can almost picture a ring on her finger, she answers a call from Verona—a mysterious woman who provides a tip about four bodies on a remote local beach. Verona, a sex worker, also gives Virginia details on sordid and raucous parties attended by law enforcement officers—and on the strange fetishes of cops she has been involved with. Then comes an explosive tip: Verona thinks it’s a police officer who is responsible for the killings. But it can’t be true—the cops Virginia works with are marriage material, even if they are a little rough around the edges. While Verona trusts that her tips are being heard because she and Virginia have formed an unusual connection, Virginia realizes that the key to solving the case is ultimately in her hands. The tip line will reveal the truth about those murders. So long as Virginia is willing to hear it.
