  Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, have heard some truly awful things about Britain’s most notorious prison. But Dartmoor and its mist-shrouded environs hold special appeal for both Sheridans. Kate hopes to find inspiration for her new Gothic novel while Charles plans to implement a fingerprinting program at the prison—and arrange a meeting with one of its most infamous inmates, Samuel Spencer. He’s convinced that Spencer—a Scotsman who admitted to killing his wife—is, in fact, innocent. What’s more, he believes he has the evidence to prove it. But Spencer continues to maintain his own guilt—and, as if to confirm it, he soon stages a daring prison escape. Lord Charles and his acquaintance Arthur Conan Doyle are most perplexed by this odd turn of events. And when a body turns up on the moor, it’s up to the two men—and the clever Kate—to discover if the missing convict is connected to this murderous new case…

  The Pendle Witches England 1600's 
  Book 5 of 7  Alice Nutter The Silent Lady of Roughlee 
  The books are fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows: 
  Alice Nutter, the dignified Catholic widow of Roughlee Hall, became an unlikely victim of the 1612 Pendle witch trials. Unlike her impoverished co-accused, Alice was a wealthy landowner targeted for her discreet charity and suspected recusant faith. Falsely implicated by child witness Jennet Device, she refused to defend herself at trial to protect vulnerable tenants who could alibi her. Offered spectral escape in prison, Alice chose martyrdom over flight, declaring: "I will not run." On August 20, 1612, she was hanged without speaking a word in self-defense, her silence preserving both her honor and others' safety. Today, her statue in Roughlee memorializes this tragic injustice—a gentlewoman sacrificed to superstition and political vendettas. Local legend claims her ghost still walks Pendle Hill, a silent witness to history's cruelty.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  From the blood-soaked mountains of 18th-century Albania, a legend was forged in fire and vengeance. Ali of Tepelena, driven by his father’s murder and the indomitable will of his mother, Khamko, rises from a dispossessed kleft to a cunning warlord. His ambition knows no bounds, his ruthlessness no mercy. He outwits pashas, tames wild clans, and carves a formidable pashalik from the decaying heart of the Ottoman Empire, making Ioannina his glittering, fear-laden capital. 
  But as the Lion of Ioannina’s power swells, so too does the envy of his rivals and the alarm of Sultan Mahmud II in Constantinople. Ali plays a dangerous game with European powers, navigates treacherous Ottoman politics, and wages brutal wars against defiant foes like the heroic Souliotes. His reign becomes a court of stark contrasts: opulence and terror, patronage and purges. Can one man, however mighty, defy an empire forever? Or will his insatiable hunger for power lead to a devastating downfall, leaving behind a legacy as complex and bloodstained as the mountains he once claimed as his own?
