  Butch Dixon has been taken for a ride … 
  Not a jump in the car, see the sights kind of ride. He's been taken for everything he has. He's lost his house, his restaurant business, his savings, his car, his best friend, his faith—all to his conniving ex-wife. But that was seven years ago. He picked himself up, left Chicago, and started over in Peoria, Arizona, running the Roundhouse Bar and Grill. He doesn't look back on those bad years; there's no point. Not until two curious cops show up at the Roundhouse. 
  Faith, Butch's ex-wife, has been murdered, and the evidence points to him. Stunned, Butch quickly realizes that the black-hearted woman is going to ruin him again, from her grave. Lucky for Butch, the Old Blue Line, a group of retired—but still sharp and tenacious—former legal and law enforcement coots, have taken it upon themselves, as a favor, to make sure he doesn't cross that thin line. After the dust settles, Butch's life is again upended—when a little red-haired ball of fire, Sheriff Joanna Brady, takes a seat at his bar.

  When a series of late-winter storms hits the annual Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska, bush pilot Ben Helm gambles on a break in the weather to fly two dropped dogs and two race personnel to the checkpoint at Unalakleet. But the conditions worsen, and a catastrophic mid-flight accident forces Ben to ditch on the landfast ice somewhere in the Bering Sea. 
  Stranded, with no communications and only limited supplies, the three survivors, with their two canine companions, must try to ride out the storms and stay alive long enough for a rescue party to find them. Katja, a young, sick trainee vet from Norway, and Obie, an optimistic race judge, come to rely on Ben's survival grit and knowhow. Despite a personal childhood tragedy, he's never forgotten the vital lessons his mother taught him. 
  But the frozen wild is an unforgiving place. A series of fateful events, encounters and opportunities forces the survivors to repeatedly take all-or-nothing risks to reach civilization. A lost musher and her team provide much-needed dog power, but no bearings. Meanwhile, a lone hunter who comes to their aid might not be who he says he is. And with seemingly no end to the tundra, the wild horizon dares man and dog alike to dig deep in order to survive the trek of their lives.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Born in the crushing poverty of Valparaíso, Isabella "La Víbora" Velasco clawed her way to the bloody pinnacle of the international cocaine trade. From the violent streets of Nueva Esperanza to the sun-drenched, bullet-riddled avenues of Costa del Sol, she built an empire on innovation, ruthlessness, and a mountain of corpses. They called her La Madrina, the Godmother, a woman who commanded loyalty through fear and eliminated rivals with chilling precision, pioneering terrifying tactics like the motorcycle assassin and the infamous "Sol Marina Mall Mayhem." 
  But as her power grew, so did her paranoia, her cruelty touching even her own family, turning her sons into reluctant heirs of a cursed dynasty. Hunted by Colombian cartels, pursued by relentless US federal agents like Frank Miller, and betrayed from within, Isabella's reign of terror could not last forever. "Queen of the Sun Coast" is a shocking, fictionalized saga of ambition, power, and the devastating price of a life steeped in violence, inspired by one of history's most notorious female crime lords.
