  Marcus Beckham paed his pipe, flicked the lighter, then puffed 5 times — the exact same thing he did every time he felt like indulging. “She’s really quite naive, isn’t she?” Another puff. “Still she serves our purposes nicely I think…” 
  Daniel Carstairs glanced toward the generous window, noting Miami’s stormy skies. “A storm is brewing.” he commented as he returned his attention to his junior partner. “And I’m not talking about the weather…” 
  A snort. “She’s expendable — if things aren’t as we desire, then we simply make other arrangements. It’s really a rather basic solution…” 
  Carstairs stood, his intention clear as he headed for Beckham’s office door. “Should we find it’s not as simple as you pronounce, there will be consequences. If you’re not familiar with them, it will behoove you to become enlightened.” His hand on the door knob, he turned, his eyes signaling the message he meant to deliver. “This better work, Marcus…” 
  When Declan Kilgarry and Colbie Colleen joined forces against a hush-hush and illicit environmental triumvirate, partners of Kilgarry, Bryson and Colleen Investigations find themselves mired in danger, intrigue, and murder, Unsuspecting of undercurrents catapulting them into alarming and deadly situations, each embarks on a case separate from the others.

  At least, it seems that way for Nathan. All he wanted was a perfect family. Is that too much to ask? 
   
   
   
  But instead of a perfect child, he got Cassie. She's a genius, sure, but she's not what he wanted. He doesn't care that she's a virtuoso on the violin or doing college level work at ten. She doesn't speak. Ever. To anyone. 
   
   
   
  And Nathan knows that that means there's something wrong with her. No matter what his wife says, he has to do something about his daughter. 
   
   
   
  He'll do anything to keep up the facade of having a perfect family, even if that means getting rid of Cassie. Someone has to stop him, but how will anyone know what's going on if Cassie can't tell them? 
   
   
   
  Having the perfect family just turned into a matter of life or death.

  “You Can’t Run Away,” a short mystery story, delves into the poignant journey of a soldier navigating through the aftermath of two wars - WWII and Korea, only to find that the concept of "home" has drastically changed. In a genre known for its gritty and unapologetic storytelling, this narrative stands out for its rare blend of sensitivity and nostalgia, intertwining the worlds of crime and a war-hardened G.I. With a storytelling style reminiscent of a legal case from Abraham Lincoln's almanac, the author, Phillip Weck, captures the essence of human connection amidst turbulent times. The central theme of the story not only explores the meeting of two souls but also raises a profound question - can love prevail even in the face of unspeakable violence? Elevating this compelling narrative is the masterful narration by award-winning narrator Mike Vendetti, who breathes life into the characters and events, immersing listeners in the emotional depth of the tale.
