Sinossi

The #1New York Times–bestselling author proves that he is indeed “a master of suspense” in this thriller of a covetous clergyman (The Washington Post). Joshua Bigg, an investigator for a Manhattan law firm, usually spends his days tracking down witnesses and verifying clients’ alibis. Ironically, Bigg is quite short, and uses his boyish looks to coax information from his targets. The newly promoted agent gets the chance to show his mettle when he probes the disappearance of one client and the suspicious suicide of another.   Professor Yale Stonehouse left his apartment one night, without saying anything to his wife, and never returned. Sol Kipper plunged to his death from the top floor of his Upper East Side townhouse. With little to go on, Bigg enlists the help of a cop, and uncovers a shocking connection between the two cases: a corrupt clergyman who preys on the lonely and bereaved. Desperate to stop the stone-cold killer who uses religion to mete out his own brand of justice, Bigg has to prove that no one is above God—or the law.

    “Fun and clever, sassy and quirky.” 
    It's a good thing vampires can eat chocolate, because with a murder so bizarre, this vamp is going to need to sink her fangs into a whole box. 
    Cat backpacks? Check. Locally made dog perfume? Check. Bracelets to match your pet’s collar? Check. Josie Wixx, disabled vampire and pet boutique owner, prefers to spend her days selling fancy and weird pet accessories and her nights eating chocolate while curled up with her Scottish Terrier…until her best customer is murdered in her friend’s bakery. 
    Stunned to hear that the kindhearted baker is now the prime suspect in the murder, Josie vows to clear her name. There’s just one problem—no one even knows how the exotic poison got into the victim’s system, not even the handsome medical examiner that Josie is just friends with. And as Josie starts to unravel the web of lies and secrets woven around the victim, it becomes clear a killer more devious than Dracula himself is on the loose. Josie fears her pained joints might give up before she can stop them. 
    With more suspects on the list than Josie has working joints, can Arteria Falls’ only P.I. catch the killer before they claim another victim? 
    If you like cozy towns, vivacious vampires, and charming canine companions, then you'll love Elle Wren Burke’s fangtastic mystery.

    A contemporary crime thriller perfect for Louise Penny and Robert Dugoni fans, Illusionist presents PI McPherson with an impossible dilemma: kill an author at a writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest, or let a college student die. 
    WHEN AN ILLUSIONIST joins the Pines & Quill writing retreat, one of the owners vanishes without a trace in the middle of everyone—but the surrounding would-be witnesses don’t see or hear a thing. That’s when crime boss Georgio Gambino makes a checkmate move against his nemesis, Sean McPherson—he attempts to blackmail a writer in residence into killing another writer and framing McPherson. In a video call, Gambino warns the writer, “If you don’t follow orders, your daughter will die.” Then he pans the camera to prove his access to her college dorm room. 
    As he begins to investigate, McPherson discovers that Carmine Fiore, Gambino’s second in command, covets his boss’s role and is staging a coup. As Gambino’s soldiers traffic drugs, weapons, and humans, Fiore plants incriminating evidence against the notorious Sureños gang. Can McPherson leverage that knowledge for a temporary truce and the gang’s help? 
    Even if he can, the Sureños gang won’t be enough alone. As the clock ticks down, McPherson gathers Pines & Quill’s writers in residence—a former NASCAR driver, a professional triathlete, an architect turned house flipper, and a world-renowned magician who may not be who she appears to be—to create the illusion of a lifetime.

    YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON 
    The case of the stolen penny farthing bicycle. 
    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 99 pence, 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 just over 5 minutes and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice. 
    The story involves the theft of a penning farthing bicycle owned by the son, Leopold 12 years old of the Duke of Westminster, who live in Grosvenor Square London in the late 1900's. Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery with aplomb and goes onto his next case. 
    The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of approximately the same age around 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!

    In this re-write of our 2023 best-selling novel CAGED, Marshall Black delves deeper into the gritty world of human trafficking and the love story that emerges from its shadows. Questions are answered, destinies are revealed, and this tale is seamlessly woven into the fabric of the Mike McHaskell Novel Series. 
    When CIA operative Mike McHaskell accepts a routine mission in Saudi Arabia, he doesn’t anticipate the trap waiting for him. Captured, stripped of his autonomy, and thrown into the dark world of human trafficking, Mike is forced to confront horrors that challenge even his unparalleled training and resilience. But he’s not alone—three women, all fighting for survival, become his unexpected allies in the most desperate of circumstances. 
    As the four battle to escape their captors, Mike discovers the web of deceit runs deeper than he ever imagined, connecting powerful elites with unimaginable atrocities. Revenge fuels him, but his path is far from straightforward. From deadly showdowns of his own past to quiet moments of raw emotion, Mike must navigate a world where trust is a commodity and every move could be his last. 
    But escaping isn’t enough. Mike’s darkest instincts resurface as he seeks vengeance for the suffering inflicted on those he’s come to care about. As the lines blur between justice and bloodlust, Mike must grapple with who he’s become—and if redemption is even possible. 
    Gritty, intense, and unrelenting, CAGED takes readers on a rollercoaster of action and emotion, exploring the depths of human depravity and the strength it takes to fight back. Updated and reimagined, this is the first chapter in the Mike McHaskell series—a story of survival, sacrifice, and the pursuit of justice at any cost.
