Sinopse

Dead-Sea Fruit is a Victorian novel of ambition, identity, and disillusionment. After his mother’s death, gifted young Eustace Thorburn seeks the truth of his parentage and the wrongs done to her. His quest intersects with London society’s fragile reputations, where marriage, desire, and propriety collide. Moving between Belgian canals and English drawing rooms, Braddon exposes the emptiness beneath glittering success and the moral cost of betrayal, secrecy, and social ambition.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  The monarch butterflies inhabiting the makeshift conservatory in Gabe Miller’s back yard are anxious these days, a sign perhaps that the snowfall, usually a rare event in the southern town of Sallow Cove, is not a one-off. And while Gabe’s dreams have been troubled ever since young Tommy Gatwood fell to his death thirty-two years ago, all Gabe can focus on now is the crimson convertible he saw speeding away the day his wife and child went missing. 
     
    A former psychiatrist who’s been on a downward spiral since his family was torn apart, Gabe buries himself under stacks of police files, desperately searching for any clues to what happened to his missing family. He thinks John Henry hasn’t noticed the missing files, but he noticed, and when a young woman is found wandering in the town’s historic cemetery under unusual circumstances, Gabe’s brother senses an opportunity to save two lost souls and John Henry uses his influence as the Deputy Chief of Police to have the woman remanded to Gabe’s care. 
     
    A reluctant Gabe refuses to buy in to her delusion that she’s an angel fallen from heaven, but he’s drawn into her spell—even if he can’t explain her insights into Kary and Skye’s disappearance and what really happened at the old train bridge near Willow Island. And on the eve of Sallow Cove’s very first Pride parade, as strangers arrive with hate in their hearts and determined to fight what they do not understand, Gabe will be forced to confront the unsettling truth about his past.

    The Adventure of Black Peter is a Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle. This tale is in the collection The Return of Sherlock Holmes, but was published originally in 1904 in the Strand Magazine and Collier's.Forest Row in the Weald is the scene of a harpoon murder, and a young police inspector, Stanley Hopkins, asks Holmes, whom he admires, for help. Holmes has already determined that it would take a great deal of strength and skill to run a man through with a harpoon and embed it in the wall behind him.Peter Carey, the 50-year-old victim and former master of the Sea Unicorn of Dundee, who lived with his wife and daughter, had a reputation for being violent. Carey did not sleep in the family house, but in a small cottage that he built some distance from the house, whose interior he had decorated to look like a sailor's cabin on a ship. This is where he was found harpooned. Hopkins could find no footprints or other physical evidence. However, a tobacco pouch made of sealskin and with the initials "P.C." was found at the scene, which was full of strong ship's tobacco. This is rather unusual, as Peter Carey—or "Black Peter" as people called him—seldom smoked. Indeed, Hopkins found no pipe in the cabin. Carey was found fully dressed, suggesting that he was expecting a visitor, and there was some rum laid out along with two dirty glasses...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
