    In a town full of lies, the truth can get you killed. 
Jonny Mendez thought he’d finally found peace in Redwood, Oregon—a quiet town where no one asked too many questions. But when a man leaps to his death from the Royal Hotel, Jonny’s instincts scream that something isn’t right. Days later, another death rocks the town—another supposed suicide, another connection to a decades-old secret. 
As Jonny digs deeper, he uncovers a sinister web of betrayal, blackmail, and a deadly truth someone will kill to keep buried. The closer he gets to the answers, the more dangerous his world becomes. 
Because in Redwood, someone is pulling the strings… and if Jonny isn’t careful, he’ll be next. 
Perfect for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci, and James Patterson, I Hear You is a pulse-pounding thriller packed with suspense, intrigue, and a relentless hero you won’t forget. If you love high-stakes mysteries and small-town secrets, this is one you won’t be able to put down!

    "At first, you just sit and think. After a time, you just sit."

Set in 1920s Hawaii, The House Without a Key is the first novel in Biggers' series featuring Charlie Chan, Inspector of the Honolulu Police Department. When a former member of Boston society is murdered, Chan is aided in his investigation into the crime by the victim's cousin, John Quincy Winterslip, who has travelled to the island to persuade his aunt to come back to Boston. As John Quincy navigates island secrets, forbidden romance, and shifting loyalties, he must decide whether solving the crime means changing his life forever.

Born in Warren, Ohio, and educated at Harvard University Earl Derr Biggers (1884–1933) was an American novelist and playwright best known for creating the fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan, one of the first non-white protagonists in American detective fiction. Inspired by real-life Honolulu detective Chang Apana, Chan became a cultural icon through books, films, and radio, and paved the way—however imperfectly—for later diverse characters.

    The guy in the dirty grey fedora looked like he might have come out of the Bellevue Morgue—off a slab. He was big and his jaw jutted over the edge of his upturned coat collar. His eyes shifted all over as if he was waiting for somebody to pick up any time.  
His shoes were broken and the upper of one had gone rotten with wet. Each time he took a step it squelched. His fingers, inside his coat-pocket, were clasped round the butt of a .38 police Positive that had once been issued to a copper who got himself cited for bravery in the line of duty the day after they buried him. 
He turned off Bowery at Kenmare. He was limping. He had a blister on his right foot where the shoe was broken. He hastened his steps with an effort. On Mott he saw the newsboy. 
The limping guy looked around, and worked up slowly towards the boy. 
The boy made a play of selling him a news-sheet. The limping guy took it. On the front page he could see his own picture, and across the top of the sheet was a banner caption—"Fremer Breaks Jail—Kills Two Guards." 
That was him! 
This is a classic short story featuring Peter Cheyney’s popular detective Lemmy Caution.
