Summary

Recently promoted to sergeant, Don Barton is back at Newbury where he is placed in charge of a dysfunctional team of young constables.
 
While he strives to knock his shift into shape, darker forces are conspiring against him. The psychopathic terrorist, Irene, has been released from prison and is determined to take revenge on Don for his part in her arrest.
 
At the same time, a patient walks away from an Oxfordshire mental hospital, ready to declare war on the world. Back in Newbury, Sean Treadaway, a vicious local thug, has vowed to rip Don’s lungs out.
 
When he needs support the most, Don’s old boss has retired only to be replaced by a superintendent who hates him for damaging his career. Can Don survive the convergence of evil that now surrounds him, and bring the criminals to justice?

    What The Moon Brings

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    There are Lovecraft stories that roar with cosmic terror — ancient gods, unknowable entities, the madness of knowledge. And then there is What the Moon Brings. This short, haunting piece is not a tale in the traditional sense, but a dream — or rather, a descent. It belongs to that strange and shadowy corner of Lovecraft’s imagination where logic erodes, and we are left adrift in a realm shaped by mood, moonlight, and the whisper of things not quite seen. First published in 1923, What the Moon Brings reads like a surreal reverie drenched in symbolism. It’s soaked in decay, beauty, and death — and it ends not with a revelation, but with an abyss. It offers no monsters, no names, no answers. Only images… and dread. This is Lovecraft at his most dreamlike, a foreshadowing of the rich, inward landscapes he would explore more fully in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and Ex Oblivione. It is a story that does not explain itself — it feels itself through you. Read it not for plot, but for atmosphere. Let it soak into your skin like moonlight on black water. Let it show you what the moon brings — when the dreamer can no longer wake.

    YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
    The case of the missing baby. 
    This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same. 
    This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $1.25 cents, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute. 
    The story itself runs to about 7 minutes 30 seconds and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. 
    The story involves the the disappearance of a baby, Albert just 2 months old, from his pram that Nanny Beatrice was responsible for. Albert was the son of the British Ambassador, Sir Eustace Carmichael, who lived in a magnificent Townhouse in Westminster. The baby was found hidden in a wardrobe upstairs to try and distract Sir Eustace. 
    Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery, discovers baby Albert and is praised by Sir Eustace as being incredibly astute for his age. 
    The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of age around 6 to 10 years old due to the characters involved. 
    I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

Rachel Ryker, call sign ‘Skylark,’ can out run and out gun just about anybody, and with her second in command, Christopher Williams, by her side, she’s practically unstoppable.

    Book #2 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series.
    'Man is an unoriginal animal. Unoriginal within the law in his daily respectable life, equally unoriginal outside the law.'
    
    One of Agatha Christie's earlier novels to feature the iconic character, Hercule Poirot, The Murder on the Links is a remarkable piece of detective fiction that critics have compared to the literary flair of Arthur Conan Doyle.
    
    After an urgent request for help, mastermind detective Hercule Poirot and his trusted companion, Captain Arthur Hastings, are summoned to a windswept seaside town on the French coast. Despite their haste, Poirot and Hastings are too late: their client is found dead in a newly dug grave on a golf course, a knife plunged into his back. As Poirot sets upon a mission to find the ghastly killer, he begins to untangle a web of buried secrets, betrayal and deception – including a near identical case from twenty-two years prior… With clever twists, razor-sharp wit and breath-halting suspense, The Murder on the Links is a gripping mystery that cements Christie as a master of the genre.
    Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author. She was a prolific writer, most famous for her detective novels and short story collections which centred around the iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Renowned as the 'Queen of Crime', she remains the bestselling novelist of all time, with her sales only second to the Bible.

    At unimaginable personal risk, she keeps one last secret hidden. But if she is caught the truth threatens to remain hidden forever . . .  
    Inspired by the true story of Irena Sendler, the Polish social worker who helped rescue more than 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto, The Angel of Warsaw is an unforgettable, heart–stopping tale of resistance, sacrifice, bravery, and love.

    What if the walls were built to hide more than secrets? 
    When struggling architect Adrián Romero accepts a remote renovation project on the sun-scorched island of Mallorca, he expects cracked foundations and structural decay—not a hidden chamber sealed inside the walls. 
    Behind it lies a mummified body. 
    But the real horror isn’t what’s inside the tomb. It’s who designed it. 
    As Adrián uncovers blueprints tied to his late father—an architect for the island’s most powerful families—he stumbles into a buried network of secret rooms, unsolved disappearances, and elite corruption. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: these spaces were never meant to be found. 
    And now that he’s opened one… 
     someone is watching. 
    Hunted by powerful families and haunted by his own bloodline, Adrián must decide: expose the truth—or become part of the silence. 
    Negative Space is a dark psychological thriller blending architectural mystery, buried crimes, and neo-noir tension—perfect for fans of slow-burn suspense, hidden conspiracies, and morally complex protagonists.
