Summary

In the harsh confines of a Texas prison, Bodhi—a former EMT convicted of manslaughter—has just days remaining on his sentence when violence erupts around him. After his cellmate is brutally attacked, Bodhi finds himself caught in a deadly power struggle between prison gangs, corrupt guards, and something far more sinister: a satanic cult calling themselves Las Hermanas Del Muerte.
 
When Bodhi's new cellmate, an Irish priest named Caedmon Murphy, is stabbed while defending him, Bodhi is forced to confront not only the physical threats surrounding him but also his own spiritual emptiness. As supernatural forces manifest within the prison walls, Bodhi discovers he's been chosen for a purpose beyond mere survival.
 
Released into a world where his enemies still hunt him, Bodhi joins forces with a motorcycle club offering him sanctuary. But the cult's reach extends beyond prison walls, and soon he's fighting not just for his own redemption but to save innocent lives from darkness.
 
With time running out and enemies closing in, Bodhi must decide if he's willing to embrace a calling that demands everything of him—including faith in a God he's never believed in. His journey from guilt to redemption becomes a brutal battle for his soul and the souls of those he's sworn to protect.
 
If you enjoyed "Shawshank Redemption," "The Green Mile," and "American Gods," you'll love "Redemption: Governed by Independence."

    A down and dirty gem of a tale—a twisty and twisted crime novel that evokes the worlds of George V. Higgins, Patricia Highsmith, and David Mamet, destined to be a neo-noir classic. 
 
 
 
Rick and Frank are recovering addicts and accomplished house thieves. They do not steal randomly—they steal according to order, hired by a mysterious handler. The jobs run routinely until they're tasked with taking a seemingly worthless trophy: an object that generates interest and obsession out of proportion to its apparent value. 
 
 
  
Just as the robbery is completed, the two are involved in a freak car accident that sets off a chain of events and Frank disappears with the trophy. As Rick tries to find Frank, he is forced to confront his past, upending both his livelihood and his sense of reality. The narrative builds steadily into a powerful and shocking climax. Reveling in its con-artistry and double-crosses, Just Thieves is a nail-biting, noirish exploration of the working lives of two unforgettable crooks and the hidden forces that rule and ruin their lives.

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.

    From Agatha and Edgar Award nominated author Valerie Burns, influencer-turned-bakery-owner Maddy Montgomery has sold plenty of wedding cakes before, but before she turns one out for her and her fiancé’s wedding, she’ll have to solve a little case of murder first … 
  
Aunt Octavia would be so proud! Maddy has turned Baby Cakes Bakery—named for her 250-pound English Mastiff, Baby—into a runaway success, and she’s marrying the love of her life, veterinarian Michael Portman. #DreamWedding! Plus the timing couldn’t be better: the country’s biggest bridal expo has come to New Bison, Michigan, and Maddy has secured a spot for Baby Cakes to showcase their cakes. She’s also entered a contest for an all-expenses-paid wedding extravaganza offered by world-renowned wedding planner Serafina. 
  
Unfortunately, supremely nasty Serafina truly takes the cake—she makes the worst bridezilla seem like a shy flower girl. But there’s one thing the wedding planner didn’t plan on—being impaled by one of the skewers Baby Cakes uses on their tiered wedding cakes. 
  
While Maid of Honor Sheriff April Johnson rounds up suspects at the expo, Maddy and her aunt’s friends, the Baker Street Irregulars, and even Baby join forces to unveil a killer hiding in plain sight … before wedding bells start to chime.
