Sinopse

“Another evocative and boldly executed historical whodunit irresistibly steeped in Civil War atmosphere and arcana” from the author of Honor’s Kingdom (Booklist).   A Union general’s senseless murder is swiftly cloaked in lies and the evidence points to Irish laborers struggling to find a place in their new homeland. But the turmoil of war hides layers of dangerous secrets, and a Welsh immigrant nursing wounds old and new must overcome ancient hatreds to honor justice.   In this gripping novel that travels from brutal coal mines to the grim battlefield of Fredericksburg, Washington intrigue and industrial corruption collide with hints of rural witchcraft and the sorrows of political exile. A wandering beauty who may be mad, a priest with an unbearable secret, revolutionary assassins, and a brilliant Irish war hero are but a few of the vivid characters who rise full-blooded from theses pages. At once swift of pace and poetic, ablaze with suspense, and rich with insights into the human heart, Bold Sons of Erin continues Owen Parry’s tradition of bringing America’s past to life with unrivaled storytelling ability, extraordinary historical accuracy, and a disarming sense of our common humanity.  “Fifth in the hauntingly rich Abel Jones Civil War series, following Honor’s Kingdom . . . explores a lost area of the Civil War, the effect of immigrant Germans, Welsh, and sons of Erin on the war’s outcome.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Grave robbing and witches provide the atmospheric overture as Maj. Abel Jones, agent for Abraham Lincoln, investigates the murder of a Northern general in his fifth suspenseful adventure.” —Publishers Weekly

    This recording has been digitally produced by Blake Pierce, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. With a career-ending injury, Olympic kickboxer Sheila Stone is forced back to her small hometown, where her older sister, the local sheriff, offers her a spot on the local police force. 
    
    When desolate salt flats become a stage for ritualistic killings, only Sheila Stone can untangle a web of dark symbology and confront the twisted mind orchestrating these cult-like murders—but will doing so put a target on her own back?
    
    “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
    —Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    SILENT RITUAL (A Sheila Stone Suspense Thriller—Book 7) is the seventh book in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller The Perfect Wife (a free download) has received over 20,000 five star reviews.
    
    With her Olympic dreams crumbled, Sheila, 28, struggles to find her place back home. She is surrounded by reminders of what could have been, stuck inside the shadow of her older sister: the golden child, the respected sheriff. But when her sister persuades her to join the local police force, Sheila’s life and career start anew.
    
    As she hunts serial killers, Sheila notices clues that others miss and offers a perspective that no one else has. She realizes she has a talent outside of fighting, and that she has a chance to embrace a new life in Salt Lake—a life outside the ring.
    
    This is a different kind of ring, though. Sheila quickly realizes that to survive, she will need more than just her strength—she’ll need a brilliance to match that of even the most diabolical killer….
    Can Sheila win this match? Or will she finally lose it all?
    
    A page-turning and harrowing suspense thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured protagonist, the SHEILA STONE series is a riveting mystery, packed with suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    An uncanny literary thriller addressing the painful legacy of lynching in the US, by the author of Telephone 
     
     
     
    Percival Everett's The Trees is a must-listen that opens with a series of brutal murders in the rural town of Money, Mississippi. When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist white townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till. 
     
     
     
    The detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Something truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried. In this bold, provocative book, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence. The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America's pulse.
