  In The Wager Series, Eddie and his uncle, a former Chicago homicide detective, solve murders for the mob’s gambling boss. With the assistance of the mob’s underworld insight, Eddie and his uncle approach murder from a unique perspective.  
  “Much like the previous outings in this series, Farrell’s foray into the interconnected worlds of gambling and organized crime yields a story full of narrative crackle and well-drawn characters…” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review of Wager Smart).  
  Eddie’s own gambling problem generates a narrative that provides a cautionary view of gambling that the reader can take to the bank. The award winning series won’t guarantee a winning day at the windows, but it will guarantee a “high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled ride…” —Indies Today Book Reviews.

  Like most mothers, Catherine would slip into her sleeping newborn’s room, listening to make sure her baby was still breathing—still alive. Now her daughter is eighteen; however, Catherine continues to check on her at night. She can’t help herself—the intrusive thoughts rise up again and again and anxiety grips her, keeping her awake. Soon Anya is leaving for university, but any excitement Catherine might feel for her daughter is drowned out by terror. Cleaning out her late mother’s dusty, decrepit house, visiting her mentally deteriorating father at his care home, and supporting a bereaved woman at work only stirs up more emotional stress. Soon, her behavior is out of control. But while Catherine obsesses, she does not see the dangers in front of her—and both mother and daughter will be forced to deal with the painful truths that are keeping them trapped.

  In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type.  But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.   
   
  Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature. 
   
  01 - Inside the Minds of Murderers That Aren't Rodion Raskolnikov - An Introduction 
  2 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe
