Sinopsis

In "The Detective's Dream," Mary Fortune explores the tantalizing realms of crime and moral ambiguity through a narrative that deftly interweaves the psychological and the procedural. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Australia, this innovative work employs a unique literary style characterized by vivid imagery and an intricate plot structure, offering readers a glimpse into the burgeoning genre of detective fiction. Fortune's meticulous attention to detail not only highlights the era's societal challenges but also interrogates the nature of justice and the complexities of human motivation, positioning her work as a significant precursor to later detective narratives. Mary Fortune, a pioneering figure in the genre of detective fiction, was one of the first female authors to gain recognition in the Victorian literary landscape. Her own experiences as a widow and a single mother in a male-dominated society profoundly influenced her writing. Fortune's keen observations of social dynamics and her deep empathy for marginalized characters inform the moral dilemmas presented in "The Detective's Dream," making her commentary as relevant today as it was in her time. For readers in search of a compelling mix of suspense, moral inquiry, and richly drawn characters, Fortune's "The Detective's Dream" stands out as a must-read. This captivating work not only entertains but also challenges the reader to reflect on the intricacies of justice and the human condition, solidifying its place as a profound contribution to the literary canon.

    This recording has been digitally produced by Blake Pierce, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. With a career-ending injury, Olympic kickboxer Sheila Stone is forced back to her small hometown, where her older sister, the local sheriff, offers her a spot on the local police force. 
    
    When desolate salt flats become a stage for ritualistic killings, only Sheila Stone can untangle a web of dark symbology and confront the twisted mind orchestrating these cult-like murders—but will doing so put a target on her own back?
    
    “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
    —Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    SILENT RITUAL (A Sheila Stone Suspense Thriller—Book 7) is the seventh book in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller The Perfect Wife (a free download) has received over 20,000 five star reviews.
    
    With her Olympic dreams crumbled, Sheila, 28, struggles to find her place back home. She is surrounded by reminders of what could have been, stuck inside the shadow of her older sister: the golden child, the respected sheriff. But when her sister persuades her to join the local police force, Sheila’s life and career start anew.
    
    As she hunts serial killers, Sheila notices clues that others miss and offers a perspective that no one else has. She realizes she has a talent outside of fighting, and that she has a chance to embrace a new life in Salt Lake—a life outside the ring.
    
    This is a different kind of ring, though. Sheila quickly realizes that to survive, she will need more than just her strength—she’ll need a brilliance to match that of even the most diabolical killer….
    Can Sheila win this match? Or will she finally lose it all?
    
    A page-turning and harrowing suspense thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured protagonist, the SHEILA STONE series is a riveting mystery, packed with suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
    
    Future books in the series are also available.

    THE PICTURE: The picture hung at the far end of the junk shop, its quality shin-ing as clear as a moonbeam through the detritus that surrounded it. Sadie thought at first that it must be a print, but closer inspec-tion proved it to be indeed a drawing, as the label affixed to it claimed.
