Madam X

Sinossi

What happens when the acclaimed international TV crime drama, Blue Bloods, inspires a story?
 
It brings to life Madam X, book three in the Illicit Things series.
 
 
 
Who knew being a madam could spell the end of your life…
 
After many successful years in New York, running the company her grandmother started and her mother took over, Josephine Pompadour has lived up to her inherited title of Madam X for five decades.
 
But when judge Bartholomew “Bartie” Winthrop murders two of Josephine’s girls, and dies from a heart attack in the midst of a passionate embrace with one of them, those in power start getting nervous, praying their secret fetishes won’t be exposed due to his carelessness. Then their world starts to splinter, shattering shard by shard, and there’s only one person they want to make responsible.
 
Even from behind bars, Josephine won’t go down without a fight. She has a secret weapon on the outside, one who is more than willing to make the bastards pay for what they’re doing to her, all of them, especially Police Commissioner Ryan and his family.
 
The dirty secretive underworld of New York’s brothels is crumbling, and all of the high-powered men of the city are going to be taken down in a blaze of delicious vengeful glory.

Young Sherlock Holmes & John...

Christopher Allen

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!

The Bible Seller

R. Allen Chappell

"Beware false prophets in sheep clothes—they can be hungry wolves." (Lay Pastor Eddie Red Horse reading from Matt 7:15) 
 
 
 
An old silversmith's body is dumped along the highway and Legal Services Investigator Charlie Yazzie isn't content to stand by while the FBI and Tribal look for clues—not when he sees his friends Thomas Begay and Harley Ponyboy sucked into a tightening web of evil. 
 
 
 
When a beautiful stranger knocks on Harley's door the game changes . . . and so do Harley's loyalties. One thing is clear in this chilling new addition to Chappell's Navajo Nation mystery series—a spate of murders and an outlier with a deadly agenda—should be warning enough for anyone.
