  In Mahu Blood, Kimo confronts both heritage and homicide when a protest turns deadly—just steps away from his own family. As he and Mike try to build a life together, Kimo uncovers a web of violence tied to native Hawaiian identity, gambling, and mental illness. 
  In Zero Break, murder hits close to home in Oʻahu’s surf community. While the waves churn, Kimo and Mike face the greatest challenge yet to their fragile relationship—and Kimo must risk everything to stop a killer. 
  With rich Hawaiian atmosphere, sharp procedural twists, and a heartfelt queer romance, this bundle delivers powerful storytelling you’ll want to hear straight through.

  It’s every parent’s nightmare—getting a call during the school day from their teenager, huddled in a classroom as the sound of bullets echo in the background. When gunmen invade a Brooklyn school, that nightmare becomes a horrific reality. Talking a suspect into sending his hostages out alive is NYPD Detective Gemma Capello’s specialty. Alerted to a school shooting at her nephew’s high school, she is one of the first officers on-scene. Detective Sean Logan and the Apprehension Tactical Team arrive next and immediately enter the school to apprehend the two shooters, while Gemma remains outside to help students evacuate. But as time stretches on, and there's no word of her nephew, her fear builds that he is one of the lost. Instead of a quickly-resolved mass shooting, one of the two shooters holes up with a group of students and their teacher as hostages, and Gemma steps in to negotiate for their survival. Floors away and armed with only her wits and the sound of her voice to convince him, Gemma fights for control of the situation even as tactical leadership pressures her for a more aggressive strategy. But for Gemma, it’s not about a quick solution. It’s about moving heaven and earth to bring everyone in that classroom home. And she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.

He's not well pleased; he knows nothing of statistics and had been hoping for a much less boring end to his year. To this very day, the summer of 1966 is revered by all of England as the year the Jules Rimet World Cup trophy came back to the home of football but behind all the excitement another, deadlier, game was being played, one with much more serious consequences.

  “A delightful romp, chock-full of wonderfully bonkers ideas.” C.K. McDonnell, best-selling author of the Stranger Times and the Dublin Trilogy. 
  “If Spike Milligan and Terry Pratchett had ever got round to a collaboration it might read like OverLondon.” Heide Goody, best-selling author of the Sam Applewhite and Oddjobs series.  
  “The most fun you can have in the safety of a book. A rollicking good read!” Kaaron Warren, multi-award winning science fiction and horror author. 
  Priests from OverLondon's Church of Vengeful Acquisition are exploding. Is the cause divine retribution, ballistic undergarments or something more sinister? If only the city had a professional private investigator… 
  Luckily, notorious pirate—turned privateer—Captain Alex Reign, has just narrowly escaped the hang man’s noose to establish the Reign Agency in Drury Lane. She needs cash fast and will take any job, even if failure means facing an inconveniently messy end. But what's a little danger to a professional swashbuckler?  
  Armed with nothing but her roguish wit, her reliably unreliable crew and a rogue artificer experiencing a mortal crisis, Alex is convinced they'll have this crime solved and the reward pocketed by teatime. 
  To solve their first case, all they must do is survive while navigating rampaging nuns, clockwork horrors, confectionary gangsters, piratical florists, malevolent urchins, military-grade statuary, weaponized blasphemy and sexual whales. 
  How hard can it possibly be? 
  A Piratical Comic-Fantasy Whodunnit with a Tudor Twist! Read by Brendan McDonald, narrator of C.K. McDonnell's bestselling Stranger Times, winner of BFS Best Audio 2023
