Synopsis

She picked up the wrong file, and now everything is falling apart.

 
-“Absolutely chilling.” Rebmay
 
-“This is a story I personally don’t want to believe is possible, but in today’s world it is, unfortunately, too believable, and horrifying.” Catlou

 
From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a new Billy Jo McCabe mystery set on a small island in the Pacific Northwest. When social worker Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, she discovers a shocking, twisted mystery plotted by a high-ranking social worker in the DCFS.
 

 
When Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, before she realizes her mistake, she discovers a secret no one was supposed to find.
 
She takes the file to the newly appointed chief of police, Mark Friessen, but he doesn’t believe her—that is, until they discover dozens more files and missing money from vulnerable at-risk children who have aged out of the system and are living on the streets.
 
As she digs into the files, the system, and the people involved, everything falls apart.
 
And what Mark and Billy Jo discover is a secret far more shocking than missing money.

    A financial adventurer becomes a hero to some, a villain to many, and a lover to one as he buys and sells companies in a thrilling game of wits and cunning in this New York Times bestseller from the author of Executive Suite
    This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
    
     
    
    Cash McCall is a believer in free enterprise, a man not yet forty who buys, sells, and merges companies to make huge profits in a postwar nation of conformist "company men." McCall is an enigma who operates out of an expensive tenth-floor suite in a Philadelphia hotel that he may or may not own. He's single, conducts secret business meetings, and is both envied and hated. No one knows where he came from.
    
     
    
    Grant Austen spent three decades building his plastics company. Now, as he seeks counsel from his banker and lawyer about selling out, he unwittingly triggers a whirlwind of corporate and financial maneuvering he doesn't fully understand. And his daughter, Lory, commits the cardinal sin of falling in love with Cash McCall, the man who's about to buy her father's company out from under him.
    
     
    
    But who is Cash McCall? A ruthless operator or a rugged individualist? Reminiscent of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, this is a novel about love, the free enterprise system, and one man's refusal to be anyone but himself.

You will also brave the crushing, inescapable wrath of the ocean's deadliest whirlpool in the nerve-shattering survival tale, A Descent into the Maelström, and journey through fantastical Arabian nights in a biting, satirical continuation of Scheherazade's epic legend. 
    Why you will love this audiobook: If you are a fan of classic Mystery / Detective Fiction, this collection is an absolute must-listen. It weaves the very foundations of the sleuth and whodunit genres—featuring armchair detection, brilliant psychological profiling, and the iconic hidden-in-plain-sight trope. Poe's masterful prose balances razor-sharp deductive logic with atmospheric, dark gothic suspense, ensuring an unforgettable auditory experience tailored for lovers of historical crime, procedural thrills, and nautical adventure.

    Four years of silence shattered with one body. The Moralist has returned. 
    When a teenage girl's body is found in Bishop Park, Detective Walker Michaels knows the signature immediately. The brutal serial killer who once terrorized their Georgia town has struck again with trademark religious symbolism and chilling precision. But this time the evidence hints at something far more dangerous. 
    The victim's deeply religious family crumbles under grief and suspicion. Their church community harbors forbidden desires and dark obsessions concealed behind righteous facades. Every lead uncovers buried secrets, and in a world where faith masks depravity, everyone becomes a suspect. 
    Walker soon discovers this murder has reawakened a dormant evil, and the truth behind it is far more personal and devastating than anyone imagined. When the line between justice and vengeance dissolves, the final confrontation will shatter everything Walker thought he knew. 
    This gripping crime thriller blends small-town secrets, religious hypocrisy, and shocking revelations into a relentless hunt for the truth.
