Summary

He was the most hated man on the ship.
 
Now he’s missing, presumed dead.
 
But on this vessel, nothing is as it seems.
 
On a luxurious trans-oceanic mail ship, former detective Fabel Retief is determined to enjoy a quiet holiday. His plans are shattered when he meets Rene Baumgarten, the beautiful but terrified secretary to the brutish millionaire, Max Lewis. She’s convinced her boss is in mortal danger, and she begs for Fabel’s help to keep him alive.
 
Before Fabel can act, Lewis vanishes into the night, his body later found floating in the vast, dark ocean. Now, a ruthless killer stalks the corridors, and their sights are set on Rene and the priceless secret Lewis died to protect. Trapped at sea, Fabel must unravel a web of smuggling, greed, and murder before he and Rene become the next victims thrown to the waves.
 
This thrilling locked-room mystery at sea is a must-read for lovers of classic action, suspense, and detective fiction. It’s perfect for fans of Agatha Christie’s high-stakes puzzles and Alistair MacLean’s high-seas tension.
 
Every adventure has an end. For Fabel Retief, it’s in the middle of the ocean with a murderer. Don’t miss the shattering, final chapter in the series you’ve followed from the very beginning. The last page awaits.

    The MV Militobi, a German rescue ship, teeming with 600 Arab, African, and South Asian migrants, patrols the Mediterranean Sea and learns that all European ports refuse entry to asylum-seekers. Captain Anna Kruger has a decision to make: return immediately to the nearest port to place passengers in a detention camp for deportation or head to an uncharted island she found on an old map as a temporary solution. 
    Santa Inez Island is a paradise with plenty of food, water, and shelter and is already the home of hundreds of migrants. Modern-day pirates, led by Commandant Rafael Delgado, kidnap Captain Kruger and thirty female passengers as soon as they set foot on the island. The remaining ship’s crew is given one month to bring back a million Euro ransom or the hostages will be put to death! 
    Throughout this novel, Captain Kruger, Commandant Delgado, Jorge Estrada, and a cast of memorable, migrant characters inhabit a magnificent island that brims with life. Fast-paced and entertaining, Finding Eden and its complementary additions (audio clips and deleted chapters) make for an elegantly constructed and timely story of the monumental challenges facing asylum-seekers today and the people who give their lives to help them.

    Welcome to the whimsical world of "The Club of Queer Trades"! 
    In this collection of tales, G.K. Chesterton invites you to join a secret society unlike any other. Published in 1905, these stories weave a tapestry of mystery, humour, and imagination, showcasing Chesterton's unparalleled wit and flair for the unconventional. 
    At the heart of this collection lies the notion of "queer trades" – professions so unique and eccentric that they defy conventional classification. From an organisation which specialises in injecting adventure and fantasy into humdrum lives, to a company whose sole purpose is to detain people, each story introduces us to characters whose occupations challenge our perceptions and expectations. 
    Head Stories Audio presents " The Club of Queer Trades" by G.K Chesterton, narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
