  When banners proclaiming the innocence of James Stewart spring up at the gravesite of his famous namesake—a clan leader who was falsely accused of murder and hanged almost three hundred years ago in a miscarriage of justice that still resonates—investigative reporter Rebecca Connolly smells a story. 
   
   
    
  The publicity stunt was clearly meant to draw attention, but what's behind it and why now? The young Stewart has been in prison for ten years for the brutal murder of his lover, lawyer and politician Murdo Maxwell, in his home in Appin, near the site of the Stewart monument. Rebecca soon discovers that, prior to his murder, Maxwell believed he was being followed, and his phones were tapped. What would justify a government phone tap against a public figure? And why is a Glasgow crime boss so interested? As Rebecca keeps digging, she finds herself in the sights of Inverness crime matriarch Mo Burke, who wants payback for the damage caused to her family in a previous case. 
   
   
    
  Set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, A Rattle of Bones is a tale of injustice and mystery, and the enduring echo of the past in the present.

  "The Shadow on the Spark" is a riveting early 20th-century detective drama that blends medical intrigue, courtroom suspense, and the unrelenting pursuit of truth. When esteemed physician Dr. Milton Jarvis returns from Europe, he’s greeted not by celebration—but by the obituary of his closest friend, banker Jim Craighead. 
  Initially ruled an accident caused by shock from surgery, Craighead’s death doesn’t sit right with Dr. Jarvis. His instincts—and scientific expertise—lead him to probe deeper into a tangled web of misdirection, manipulation, and a sinister prescription. At the center lies Tessie Prettyman, a seemingly innocent young woman caught between love, loyalty, and a haunting connection to a criminal underworld. 
  Through razor-sharp deduction and groundbreaking forensic insight, Jarvis challenges the assumptions of an entire courtroom in a dramatic revelation that will shake even the most seasoned mystery fans. 
  Perfect for listeners who love Golden Age mysteries, scientific sleuthing, and edge-of-your-seat courtroom climaxes.

  From REMINGTON KANE, the author of the Young Guns Series 
  TANNER: YEAR EIGHT - A Tanner Series - Book 8 
  Tanner wasn’t in love with Tonya Wilson but loved being around her. Like himself, Tonya had a secret she kept hidden. Tanner knew she wasn’t the simple personal assistant she claimed to be, and she was aware he was more than an average real estate investor. 
  Everyone has a secret, and Tanner could live with not knowing Tonya’s. But then she died in what police were calling a “Tragic accident,” and Tanner found himself mourning her loss. 
  But was it an accident, or was it murder? And if murder, what was the reason for it? 
  More importantly, who killed Tonya Wilson? Who took away yet another person Tanner cared about? 
  When Tanner went looking for answers, he discovered Tonya’s secret and the deadly reason why she was targeted for death. 
  No. Tanner hadn’t been in love with Tonya Wilson, but he’d be damned if he wouldn’t avenge her death and make every last person responsible for it pay with their own lives. 
  It’s Tanner on a rampage, and the guilty can run, but they can’t hide.

  "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" (1924), one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.
  According to Dr. Watson's opening narration, this story is set at "the latter end of June, 1902 ... the same month that Holmes refused a knighthood for services which may perhaps some day be described." This is a parallel to the knighthood of Arthur Conan Doyle around the same time.
  Holmes receives a letter from a Nathan Garrideb of 136 Little Ryder Street, asking for help in a most peculiar quest. He is looking for another man with his unusual surname, for it will mean a $5 million inheritance for him. He has been approached by another man, John Garrideb of Kansas, who says that he needs to find others with the same last name.
