    Inspired by the true story of Irena Sendler, the Polish social worker who helped rescue more than 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto, The Angel of Warsaw is an unforgettable, heart–stopping tale of resistance, sacrifice, bravery, and love.

    A man in mourning must push through his despair to stop a serial killer once and for all in this complex and chilling psychological thriller.
    This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
    Connor Phelan had his dream job as a prosecutor. He was on top of the world until the sudden and tragic death of his wife and unborn child brought it crashing down.
    He resigns almost immediately after the funeral and returns home, where he opens a small office of his own.
    Soon, Connor is back in the thick of things and finds himself as special prosecutor of Bob Clancy, an infamous local man, who is accused of strangling a high school cheerleader.
    After reviewing the case, Connor concludes that Clancy did break into the young girl's house, but he is not her killer. Connor believes the actual murderer was a serial killer from twenty years earlier dubbed The Rockfield Strangler. And it doesn't take long for DNA testing to confirm that the Rockfield Strangler is indeed back and has his eyes on his next victim.
    But how do you catch a monster who has eluded the police for so long, especially when you are still grieving and trying to rebuild your life?
    "Deadly Grief is a fast read. It's a page-turner and you will be captivated by the memorable characters in this latest novel by Richard Cahill." —John Ferak, bestselling author of Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery

    “Thriller writing at its best.” 
    --Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    GHOST CHAIN (Book #4) is the fourth book in an exhilarating new thriller series that blends mystery and action, from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with GHOST UNIT (Book #1).
    
    When the FBI creates an elite team to investigate murder mysteries in military hotspots, there is only one man for the job: retiring Marine sniper Cyrus Drake. Partnered with brilliant FBI Agent Phoebe Colt, Drake must complement her investigative genius with his tactical skills—and together, they will solve mysteries and hunt down killers in the world’s most dangerous and action-packed places.
    
    In GHOST CHAIN (Book #4), when a retired Marine intelligence officer is found dead in a Moroccan hotel room, the cause of death looks natural — but Phoebe Colt knows better. The trail leads into the lawless corridor between Mali and Libya, where a deadly arms broker has been flooding jihadist factions with stolen weapons, and the clock is ticking to find a hidden cache before it vanishes into a dozen different warzones.
    
    The Cyrus Drake combines the best of a murder mystery series with the best of a military action thriller, delivering relentless action and sharp tension from the first shot fired to the final, stunning reveal. It is a series that won’t allow you to catch your breath until the last page. Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Lee Child, and James Patterson.
    
    Future books in the series are also available!
    
    “Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down.”
