    London, 1888.  
    A Ms. Mary Morstan arrives at 221B Baker Street with a case for Sherlock Holmes and his companion, Dr. John Watson. Some ten years prior, her father, Captain Arthur Morstan, returned to London while on leave from his post in India—only to go missing. Adding another layer to the mystery are six pearls in her possession, having received one per year since 1882. The sixth and most recently received pearl was accompanied by a letter asking for a meeting, claiming Ms. Morstan is a wronged woman.  
    Holmes and Watson's deductive skills are put to the test in a thrilling adventure involving a map of a fortress bearing four names, poison darts, and high-speed boat chases.   
    The second of the four Sherlock Holmes novels, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Sign of the Four follows Holmes and Watson's debut in A Study In Scarlet. Originally commissioned by Lippincott's Monthly, the novel was published in the magazine in 1890. In the summer of 2024, Doyle's original handwritten manuscript sold for over $900,000 at auction.

    Do you dare to question what’s real, who’s in charge—and what they’re willing to sacrifice to stay there? 
    Think Fargo meets Fight Club, with a dash of Bad Monkey and a side of Dexter. This story delivers sharp commentary and strange bedfellows: sophisticated internationalists, drone pilots in bunny slippers, assassins on banana seat bikes, and network news anchors with God complexes. 
    Meet Leroy O’Malley of Apalachicola, Florida: a naive and hopeful dreamer. All he wanted was a shot at the good life—a steady job, maybe even a dental plan.  
    This is the story of a man who made the mistake of believing the lies we are all told.  
    Always down on his luck, a chance encounter with a foul-mouthed - though oddly charismatic - out-of-towner at a roadside oyster shack suddenly launches Leroy on the fast-track to the life he’s always wanted.  
    But as the stakes rise, he finds himself swept into a tangled mess of black ops, corrupt officials, and media puppeteers who see him as the perfect fall guy. He thought he was chasing purpose and a 401K plan—until purpose chased him back with a surgical saw and an igloo cooler. 
    Will he choose himself or America?  
    The only way to find out is to read the series.

    Synopsis– Last Train to Dhanushkodi 
    Last Train to Dhanushkodi is a gripping thriller set against the haunting backdrop of one of India’s most tragic natural disasters. On a stormy night in 1964, a passenger train bound for the island town of Dhanushkodi departs amidst rising winds and restless tides. As the journey unfolds, passengers sense something ominous in the air — whispers of an approaching cyclone, a sense of destiny closing in. When a monstrous tidal wave strikes, the line between life and death blurs, and the island city is swallowed by the sea. Through vivid narration and emotional depth, this audiobook captures the courage, fear, and final moments of those aboard the ill-fated train — the last one ever to reach Dhanushkodi. A story of nature’s fury, human spirit, and fate’s cruel twist, Last Train to Dhanushkodi will stay with listeners long after the final wave falls silent.
