    "McFarlane’s skill in evoking individual inner lives and Jones’s deftness in capturing their spirit make every character distinct."  —The Washington Post on The Sun Walks Down, one of The Washington Post's 10 Best Audiobooks of 2023A gripping, enigmatic collection of linked short stories about the reverberations of a serial killer’s crimes in the lives of everyday people. In 1998, an apparently ordinary Australian man is arrested and charged for a series of brutal murders. The news shocks the nation, bringing both horror and resolution to the victims’ families, but its impact travels even further: into the past, as the murders rewrite personal histories, and into the future, as true crime podcasts and biopics tell the story of the crimes. Highway Thirteen, Fiona McFarlane’s newest collection, takes murder as its starting point, but it unfolds to encompass much more: through the investigation of the aftermath of this violence across time and place, from the killer’s childhood town to Texas, Rome, and tropical northern Australia, McFarlane presents an oblique, entrancing exploration of the way stories are told and spread, and at what cost. What damages, big and small, do these crimes incur? How do communities make sense of such atrocities? How does the mourning of families sit alongside the public fascination with terrible crimes? And can we tell true crime stories without centering the killers? From the acclaimed author of The Sun Walks Down and The High Places comes a captivating account of loss and its extended echoes in individual lives.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

    Discover the BRAND NEW explosive, high-octane action adventure from bestselling author Rob Jones. If you like Scott Mariani, you'll LOVE this! 💥 
    He who drinks of the serpent’s blood shall become invincible… 
    While on official UNESCO business in The Vatican Museums, Dr Max Hunter finds himself pulled into a dark conspiracy of Biblical proportions. 
    Summoned to the inner sanctum of the Vatican in the middle of the night, Hunter discovers his friend and colleague, Professor Marco Vitali, has been brutally murdered, using his dying moments to draw a message on the floor in his own blood – a message that seems to implicate Hunter in his death. 
    Things rapidly get worse. Vatican officials inform Hunter that not only has the professor been murdered, but a high-ranking cardinal has also been kidnapped, and a ransom note left giving terms for his safe return. Hunter soon realises the highest echelons of the Vatican are holding information back from him, jeopardising his mission to bring the murderer to justice and secure the safe release of the cardinal. 
    With the HARPA team alerted and racing across the Atlantic to join the action, Hunter sets out with Inspector Martina Rinaldi, a courageous young Vatican Gendarmerie officer in pursuit of his friend’s killers but soon realises he is in a lethal race to stop an evil older than humanity resurfacing and threatening the entire world.
