  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
  But first, they give me their confessions. 
  Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill and like to read books like The Bird Box and The Haunting are going to enjoy reading the deathbed confessions from The Asylum. 
  My name is Jack Steen and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane.  
  Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers and they know me as the Angel of Death. 
  When they come onto my floor, I offer a deal: tell me their story, the one that hasn't been read about in the news, sensationalized by media or cataloged in a ridiculous number of academic papers. I want the real story - the one they haven't told anyone. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves...those are the stories I want. 
  If they give them to me, I'll make their death...easier. They're already dying, that's why they're now my patients. If they play nice, I can make their death less painful. But only if they play nice and tell me their confessions. 
  The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing me and messing with my head. It's a chance I'm willing to take. 
  And now...they might just be playing with yours too. 
  Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions: 
  Patient 1024 has an interesting 'appetite'. 
  Patient 974 is the Ken to his Barbie, and he would do anything to keep her happy. 
  Patient 871 is a Nanny, but not one you want watching your kids. 
  Patient 1203 is the sweetest, broken soul you'll ever meet but her confession is a hard read.

  When sisters Rachel and Jennifer Murdock receive a letter from Miriam Hamilton, the daughter of the man who, decades earlier, swindled their father, inviting them to her luxurious home and offering financial amends, the sisters accept and head off with their beloved cat, Samantha, in tow. 
   
  Shortly after they arrive, they meet their host―or rather, her body. Miriam has been murdered in her bed, and two things become clear: their invitation came with strings attached, and around the many corners of Miriam's capacious home, strange things are afoot. 
   
  There is no shortage of possible motives for Miriam's murder, given her ruthless business practices and greedy nature. The appearance and subsequent disappearance of a bloodstained doll, which Miriam’s two grown stepchildren from previous marriages seem to know more about than they want to let on, raises Rachel's suspicion but the involvement of the local sheriff investigating the case is what ultimately throws Rachel for a loop. No matter―together with the reluctant Jennifer and curious kitty Samantha, amateur sleuth Rachel is going to make sense of this befuddling case, even if things aren’t what they seem.

  The Innocence Of Father Brown -...

  G.K. Chesterton

  'It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem.'
  
  Published in 1911, The Innocence of Father Brown is the very first collection of short stories featuring one of G.K. Chesterton's most iconic characters: amateur detective, and devout Catholic, Father Brown.
  
  Father Brown, a modest, mild-mannered priest with a sharp intellect and even sharper sense of the human condition, is thrown into a series of mysteries which often baffle both his peers and the authorities. Despite his humble appearance, Father Brown can easily detect falsehoods, see through disguises and defy tampered logic to get to the truth. From cases of theft, fraud and murders with no apparent weapon, Brown remains calm in the face of evil time and time again, utilising compassion, empathy and keen intuition. Captivating, pacey and packed with unexpected turns, The Innocence of Father Brown is Chesterton's clever reimagining of crime fiction as a vehicle for moral reflection. This audiobook edition is brilliantly ready by Nicholas Boulton.
  Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.

  Jake Jacobs happily put the wasted years of his CIA service behind him two decades ago. Now a history professor in Oregon, he is at work on a book about a possible mole in the Agency who was never outed. Suddenly, he finds himself pulled back into the secret world when his name and photo, along with those of four others, appears on a revenge site, Reckoning. The site promises vengeance for an op that went sideways in Vienna during the final days of the Cold War. 
   
   
   
  Ancient history to Jake, who figures someone is trolling him. Until a couple of the online photos are suddenly X-ed out, and he discovers those two, who were also involved in the disastrous op, have been killed. Left on this insider list are Jake; his one-time superior at CIA, Laurence Armitage; and his former adversary, KGB officer Yuri Vosenko. 
   
   
   
  Jake would rather be the hunter than the hunted and ultimately teams up with his old nemesis, Vosenko, to track down the Reckoning site and whoever is behind it. This takes Jake from the West Coast of the US to the moors of Ireland, to the arms of Tania in Vienna, and to the Alpine passes of Austria in an explosive and emotional journey into an all too real wilderness of mirrors.
