    🏺 The new "Curse of the Pharaohs" exhibit at the local museum is the talk of the town—until the lead curator is found dead in the sarcophagus of the main attraction, a recently unearthed mummy. The police are quick to call it a tragic accident, but museum archivist and part-time history professor Dr. Eliza Sands knows better. The scene is a perfect replica of an ancient Egyptian ritual murder, and the clues point to someone with intimate knowledge of both the museum and Egyptology. To uncover the truth, Eliza must decipher hieroglyphic hints and follow a trail of ancient artifacts and modern motives. With help from her clever cat, Anubis, and a handsome archaeologist who knows more about the mummy than he's letting on, Eliza uncovers a web of stolen artifacts, academic rivalry, and a family secret someone is willing to kill to protect. Can she solve this ancient puzzle before the killer decides to add another body to the exhibit?

    The Adventure of the Second...

    "The Adventure of the Second Stain", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes and the only unrecorded case mentioned passively by Watson to be written. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Second Stain" eighth in his list of his twelve favourite Holmes stories.
    Lord Bellinger, the Prime Minister, and the Right Honourable Trelawney Hope, the Secretary of State for European Affairs, come to Holmes in the matter of a document stolen from Hope's dispatch box, which he kept at home in Whitehall Terrace when not at work. If divulged, this document could bring about very dire consequences for all Europe, even war. They are loath to tell Holmes at first the exact nature of the document's contents, but when Holmes declines to take on their case, they tell him that it was a rather injudicious letter from a foreign potentate. It disappeared from the dispatch box one evening when Hope's wife was out at the theatre for four hours. No-one in the house knew about the document, not even the Secretary's wife. None of the servants could have guessed what was in the box.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In a single, breathtaking moment, the world is forever changed. 
    Millions vanish—mothers, fathers, children, entire families—leaving behind only their clothes and possessions. What remains is confusion, grief, and fear as those left behind grapple with the terrifying possibility that the prophecies of Scripture have come to pass. 
    In Birmingham, Alabama, Tom, Josh, and Sam confront a city collapsing under its own panic. Tom, whose wife and children were taken, must wrestle with heartbreak while clinging to the faint hope that God still has a plan. Josh questions everything he once believed, desperate for answers that seem out of reach. And Sam, already scarred by loss, wonders if redemption is even possible for a man like him. 
    In New York City, Jessie and Marcus face the calamity in a place where chaos spreads faster than hope. Jessie searches for meaning in a world gone silent, while Marcus—a man of God—sees the event as both judgment and calling. Determined to build a refuge for the frightened and the broken, he becomes a shepherd for the lost in a city that suddenly feels godless. 
    Though divided by distance, they are united by the same reality: they were left behind. Their only hope for survival lies in faith, trust, and a return to the God many had forgotten. 
    Separation Day is a gripping tale of loss, prophecy, and the desperate search for light in a world overshadowed by judgment.

    Her trusty feline familiar, Rumpus, is passed out in the bathtub. It looks like a setup. 
     
     
     
    They weren't lying when they said middle age was full of surprises! 
     
     
     
    She can't go to her boyfriend, Jon. As Chief of Police, he'd have a nasty conflict of interest. The truth is that Ruby looks like the suspect. And there's nothing or no one on the good side of the law that can help her. So . . . she teams up with the mob. 
     
     
     
    That's right. She calls her nemesis, Benito Lombardi. Call it crazy, but she believes him when he tells her that he has too much respect and if he wanted her gone, he'd take her out openly. 
     
     
     
    Now Ruby and Rumpus have a whole new cast of characters who are helping them, and they're not all good guys. But they all have one thing in common. They need to find the killer who set Ruby up. Because this time she may have woken up drugged and groggy. 
     
     
     
    Next time, she may not be waking up at all!
