    A wealthy businessman with a reputation for taking risks rose from the slums to the height of success. But success comes at a price, especially when it’s achieved at the expense of others.  
    	When a former guest of the hotel is found dead in a dockside tavern, the police rule it suicide. After all, some say his negligence caused one of his company’s ships to go down in a storm, along with all its cargo and several members of the crew. The guilt would be too much for many. But when evidence of murder is uncovered, Cleo feels compelled to bring the killer to justice. 
    	With Harry Armitage on a separate case that involves many of the same suspects, their paths cross and sparks fly. And there are more suspects emerging every day. With a victim whose past was shrouded in mystery, who was a bully to some and a brilliant businessman to others, it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction.  
    	As Cleo and Harry peel back the layers of lies, one fact is undeniable—a man’s past follows him to the grave, something Harry knows all too well.

    In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type.  But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit.   
     
    Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.

    Herbert George "H. G." Wells (September 21, 1866 – August 13, 1946) was a prolific English writer in many genres. He is sometimes called the “Father of Science Fiction.”  His stories have been filmed many times. His best-known classics are The Time Machine (1895), one of the first modern science fiction stories, The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).  Wells wrote over a hundred books, about fifty of them novels. Pollock and the Porroh Man is a ghostly and gory tale much in the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, but seasoned with macabre black humor.  Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated and Emmy Award winning Special Effects Makeup Artist. Email: edwardfrench06@hotmail.com.
