The Abandoned Room

Wadsworth Camp

Sinossi

The night of his grandfather’s mysterious death at the Cedars, Bobby Blackburn was, at least until midnight, in New York. He was held there by the unhealthy habits and companionships which recently had angered his grandfather to the point of threatening a disciplinary change in his will. As a consequence he drifted into that strange adventure which later was to surround him with dark shadows and overwhelming doubts.
Before following Bobby through his black experience, however, it is better to know what happened at the Cedars where his cousin, Katherine Perrine was, except for the servants, alone with old Silas Blackburn who seemed apprehensive of some sly approach of disaster.
At twenty Katherine was too young, too light-hearted for this care of her uncle in which she had persisted as an antidote for Bobby’s shortcomings. She was never in harmony with the moldy house or its surroundings, bleak, deserted, unfriendly to content.

The Case of Marvin Dunes - Brian...

Jason R. Cash

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
When Brian discovers the envelope Matt left behind, it seems like nothing more than a precaution — a set of instructions to follow if three days pass without a word. But the moment Brian tears it open, his world tilts on its axis. 
Inside are directions that will thrust him into a reality far beyond anything he could have imagined — a path that forces him to confront secrets, dangers, and choices that will alter the course of his life forever. 
Brian never expected to inherit a mission. He never expected to step into a future that feels more like a storm than a road. And he certainly never expected that opening a single envelope would ignite a journey that will test the limits of his courage, his loyalty, and his very understanding of fate itself.
