The Gems are getting close! Diamond stands revealed! And the villain you thought you knew isn't who you thought it was. All this and more suspense than you can shake a stick at!
A jewelry store clerk is devoured by a mass of flesh-eating worms. It’s just another heist for WILLIE “THE WORM” PITTS and his gang. There is a strong suspicion that the police cannot control crime in the city. The entire department is on edge. Against this backdrop of crime gone wild, STAN POCAROBA, a K-9 police officer, keeps his unit of dogs ready to go and emotionally attached like a close-knit family. One night, Stan and his K-9 Unit corner Willie in a university lab. During the gun fight, test tubes explode in Stan's face. His blood absorbs the fossilized cells of a prehistoric raptor. Stan soon learns that he is able to transform into a raptor with all the powers of the fabled hunter, but not without a few drawbacks. His transformation is a work-in-progress including the pitfalls and dangers of a disjointed life in an unforgiving world. In order to escape the lab, Willie takes a lab research chemist, JUANITA, as hostage. She is the only person capable of unlocking the mystery of Stan's condition. Stan needs to hurry if he wants to save Juanita. But, the police mistake a transformed Stan for one of the criminals and a dragnet is set up for his capture. Time is running out. Willie buries Juanita in a coffin with a 48-hour air supply, adding a snake and a mouse to keep her company. He demands $10 million from the city or he will let Juanita die. Can Stan control his transformations enough to find Juanita? Will he be captured by his own police department? And how will the dogs cope with a prehistoric raptor as their commander? “Raptor Cop” is a non-stop, action/adventure roller coaster ride---with all the exciting twists and turns!Show book
“Do not be in a hurry, the right man will come at last.” ~ Jane Austen From the moment she first saw him, Mary King was attracted to George Wickham. He was good-looking and charming, and he seemed to her like the perfect gentleman. She longed for him to notice her, but he never seemed to even see her. Things change, though, when Mary suddenly inherits a fortune of ten thousand pounds. Suddenly George is interested in her, but is he really after her money? In this engaging coming-of-age story, Mary will have to learn whether to trust her heart or her head. What listeners have said about Almost Persuaded "Miss King is an underappreciated minor character in Miss Austen’s book, but here in P.O.Dixon’s story, it is she who is the lead." "I really liked this tale. Mary is very sweet and naïve, and Wickham is as dastardly and exploitative as we all expect him to be. The narration, as with all of Pam Dixon's works, was excellently done as usual by the lovely Pearl Hewitt." "Fun to listen to a side story play out."Show book
