This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Luxury has a lobby. So does murder. When a socialite plummets from the balcony of a glass-and-steel tower, the building swallows the truth. Security footage blinks. Visitor logs vanish. Neighbors remember the wrong hour. Detective Owen Vale has seen cover-ups before, but never an entire high-rise that edits reality. The Chronicle, a luxury residence with forty floors and a concierge who never speaks out of turn, sells more than privacy—it sells control. Behind its velvet silence operates a bespoke security firm that curates lives for the city's most powerful, rewriting details whenever the truth becomes inconvenient. As Vale follows the thin seams the building failed to seal, he finds the victim wasn't the first "accident," only the one that slipped. Every step up the tower tightens the noose: witnesses lawyer up, evidence reappears scrubbed clean, and the concierge's loyalty proves as dangerous as any weapon. When the firm turns its attention to Vale's own daughter, the case stops being a puzzle and becomes a countdown. Taut, atmospheric, and relentlessly surprising, Forty Floors of Silence delivers a classic detective thriller with a modern edge—locked-room intrigue at skyscraper scale. Read it for the razor-sharp twists, stay for a hero who has to outthink a building that refuses to be a crime scene. If you love high-stakes investigations, morally gray power players, and endings you'll want to talk about, this is your next obsession.Ver libro

It's Halloween in Hell's Birth Canal, but when someone's killed at a costume party, Francie's determined to unmask the killer… When a fellow partygoer is poisoned while bobbing for apples, Francie needs to get justice for her friend. But just days after the crime, she gets devastating news: the Jibbleson sisters’ fingerprints were found on the murder weapon. Even though most (okay, all) of their inventions explode, Francie knows they’d never commit murder. She promises to get them out of their jail cell and back to their workshop faster than you can sing the Monster Mash. Knee-deep in the investigation, she gets a surprising card in the mail.

To make matters worse, Hortensia tracked down one of the most dangerous of all the cursed books--the Eldertide Almanac. But the literary ghost of Mr. Hyde (Dr. Jekyll's alter ego) got to it first--and he's about to make this Halloween one for the record books. Can Francie reveal the killer, save Kong and destroy the cursed book? Or will this Halloween be all tricks and no treats?Ver libro
