Sinopse

Phantom Fortune is a Victorian novel of mystery, ambition, and moral conflict. When sudden wealth appears to promise freedom and security, it also brings suspicion and hidden danger. A young woman’s life is transformed by chance and deception, drawing her into secrets tied to crime and identity. As illusions of fortune fade, Braddon explores the cost of desire, social pressure, and the haunting power of the past.

    "She talks so much, she should have two sets of teeth." 
     
     
     
    I haven't seen Stanley Shelton since the flamingo keychain with the campervan key dangled from his fingertips as he ripped the Maserati keys out of my grip after my ex-now-dead husband left me broke and penniless, until now. 
     
     
     
    Stanley claims the Diamond Swamp Mob is after him and he needs my help. Something about my past, but I didn't take him too seriously until someone was murdered in Stanley's rented room at the Milkery. The person just so happened to have a tattoo I've seen before. 
     
     
     
    One problem, the tattoo is a brand from a mob in New York City. 
     
     
     
    Sheriff Hank Sharp has hauled Stanley down to the Normal sheriff's department for the murder, leaving it up to me and the Laundry Club Ladies to clear Stanley's name. Looks like I'm driving my campervan back to New York City and make it a girls trip. 
     
     
     
    I sure hope I can get to the mob boss before he sends anyone else to Happy Trails Campground to finish the job and get revenge on who actually killed the mobster. 
     
     
     
    Welcome to Normal, Kentucky, where nothing is normal!

    “You Can’t Run Away,” a short mystery story, delves into the poignant journey of a soldier navigating through the aftermath of two wars - WWII and Korea, only to find that the concept of "home" has drastically changed. In a genre known for its gritty and unapologetic storytelling, this narrative stands out for its rare blend of sensitivity and nostalgia, intertwining the worlds of crime and a war-hardened G.I. With a storytelling style reminiscent of a legal case from Abraham Lincoln's almanac, the author, Phillip Weck, captures the essence of human connection amidst turbulent times. The central theme of the story not only explores the meeting of two souls but also raises a profound question - can love prevail even in the face of unspeakable violence? Elevating this compelling narrative is the masterful narration by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti, who breathes life into the characters and events, immersing listeners in the emotional depth of the tale.

And as more suspects crop up, so does a toxic surprise on the estate, throwing everyone's plans, and Nolan's reputation, into jeopardy. Now Megan will have to unearth a killer with a dirty secret.
