    Nothing bad ever happens in the countryside… right? 
    When a farmer and his son go missing whilst chasing rustlers, DCI Evan Warlow and his team are called in to investigate. Everything points to a botched raid by heartless thieves, but with no bodies, and little or no clues, the team quickly start chasing their tails. 
    The close-knit community reels from the shock, but not everyone the team comes across is being entirely honest, and it quickly transpires that, under their prim and proper facades, some have secrets they are desperate to keep. 
    But even Warlow isn’t prepared for the monstrous truth when, like a rabid sheepdog, it finally sits up and bites him on the leg. 
    He’s too busy trying not to get killed himself. 
    Suffer The Dead is the fourth book in the DCI Warlow bestselling series of fast-paced Black Beacons thrillers by Rhys Dylan. Set in the heart of wild Wales, this dark murder mystery populated by true to life characters will keep you guessing. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk. JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave. Celtic noir with a spattering of dark humour.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    He’s the dangerous ally she can’t afford to trust. She’s the last detective he wanted to face. 
    Detective Eugenia “Genie” Green has one focus—climb the ranks of her Virginia precinct and prove herself in a world where every mistake is magnified. But when a brutal murder spree rocks her city, she’s paired with the one man guaranteed to test her patience: a brooding consultant with a past steeped in crime. 
    Rafael Santiago didn’t return home to chase killers. He came back to mend the years-long rift with his mother—and leave his gang ties buried. But the only way to help Genie stop a murderer is to dig into the shadows he swore he’d escaped. 
    Forced into close quarters, their clashing styles spark a slow-burning attraction neither wants to acknowledge. But with a killer closing in and their personal loyalties on the line, trusting each other might be the most dangerous move of all. 
    If you love smart, relentless heroines, brooding bad boys with redemption arcs, and edge-of-your-seat twists, RAFAEL is your next binge-worthy read.

    "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" (1924) is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and one of the 12 stories collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.
    Sir James Damery comes to see Holmes and Watson about his illustrious client's problem (the client's identity is never revealed to the reader, although Watson finds out at the end of the story; it is heavily implied to be King Edward VII). General de Merville's young daughter Violet has fallen in love with the roguish and sadistic Austrian Baron Adelbert Gruner, who Damery and Holmes are convinced is a shameless philanderer and a murderer. The victim was his last wife, of whose murder he was acquitted owing to a legal technicality and a witness's untimely death. She met her end in the Splügen Pass. Holmes also finds out that the Baron has expensive tastes and is a collector and a recognised authority on Chinese pottery.
