Sinopse

Last Orders is an exciting and thrilling anthology of short crime fiction, featuring the return of Edinburgh investigator Gus Dury. In the title story Dury receives a mysterious letter on expensive paper but is hesitant to take the case - but he needs the cash, though there's something about his well-heeled client that doesn't sit quite right.
Meanwhile a low-life drug-dealer has a sudden change of heart as he takes revenge on his cheating partner in 'London Calling'.
A victim of high school date rape settles the score, the crew of a bank job suspect that one of their number tipped off the police and so take their grisly retribution and a performance-enhanced bodybuilder loses control with bloody consequences in just some of the stories featured in this original collection by Irvine Welsh's 'favourite British crime writer', Tony Black.
Disponível desde: 01/03/2024.

    Adventures of Sherlock Holmes...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. *The Boscombe Valley Mystery* is a gripping Sherlock Holmes tale from Arthur Conan Doyle’s *The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes*, weaving wrongful accusation, buried colonial secrets, blackmail, and subtle deductive detection into one unforgettable Victorian mystery. 
     
    When Sherlock Holmes receives an urgent telegram summoning him to Herefordshire, he persuades Dr. Watson to travel west to investigate the Boscombe Valley tragedy. Farmer Charles McCarthy has been found brutally murdered beside Boscombe Pool, and all evidence points to his own son, James McCarthy. Witnesses watched father and son quarrel violently by the lake; the young man arrived at the scene covered in blood, with his hunting gun lying close to the victim’s body. Local police are convinced James is guilty, and the coroner’s inquiry stacks damning circumstantial evidence against him. 
     
    Yet Holmes refuses to accept the obvious conclusion. Guided by tiny, overlooked clues: an Australian colonial greeting, a dying man’s fragmented last word, strange footprints around the pond, and a vanished grey garment, he digs beneath the surface of the rural community. Miss Alice Turner, daughter of wealthy landowner John Turner, begs Holmes to prove James innocent, revealing a forbidden marriage proposal that sparked the fatal argument between father and son. 
     
    Holmes’s painstaking examination of the crime scene uncovers a hidden killer, a figure haunted by a dark past stretching back to the Australian goldfields. What unfolds is a story of decades-long blackmail, desperate violence, and a terrible secret that threatens to destroy two families. Holmes faces a difficult moral choice: uphold strict justice, or spare a dying man and protect the innocent young lovers trapped in the shadow of old crimes. 
     
    Rich with atmospheric countryside setting, masterful observation, and profound human drama, this classic case showcases Sherlock Holmes at his finest, balancing cold logic with quiet compassion.
