Calling Mr Callaghan

Peter Cheyney

Sinossi

WHEN Callaghan came into the office, Effie Thompson stopped typing. She said: "Good morning, Mr. Callaghan. There have been a few telephone calls, and your letters are on your desk."
Callaghan said: "Right, Effie. Has Fallon or Craske been through?"
She shook her head. Callaghan went into his office. She followed him with her notebook.
She said: "You're expecting a call from Fallon or Craske? If either of them come through while you're out what shall I do about it?"
Callaghan said: "There's nothing you can do, Effie. Both those birds ought to be pretty scared by this time—both of them or one of them."
She said: "You don't know which one was really responsible for that fraudulent claim?"

Beneath his calm exterior however, is a man shaped by ambition, loneliness and an unshakable desire to stay in control of his future. As Nick navigates high-stakes encounters, dangerous personalities and morally complex situations, he discovers that every choice comes with consequences—and every favor carries a price. Powerful figures begin to take notice, trust becomes increasingly fragile and personal connections start to blur the line between opportunity and risk. Along the way, Nick encounters people who challenge his instincts, force him to confront his own vulnerabilities and change the direction of his life in unexpected ways.

One Month to Ruin Him

Victoria Sterling

Description：
Wren Ashby has one month left to live.

Her brilliant husband Adrian — the celebrated scientist whose career she built with her own blood and sweat — can't even wait that long. He moves his first love back into their home, lets her sit at Wren's place at the dinner table, lets her call their four-year-old daughter "her little girl."

The internet brands Wren a home-wrecker. People photoshop her funeral portraits. Strangers throw stones at her child in the park.

When Wren's daughter dies under a wall of climbing roses, Wren stops trying to leave quietly. She has thirty days, a ruined body, and a hatred clear as glass.

She has a plan.

And she is going to take everything from them — slowly, surgically — before she goes.

A devastating, beautifully cruel story of love, betrayal, and a mother's final revenge.
