Ding Dong Ditch - The Shadows of...

Noz

Winner of two book awards — Global Book Awards (Silver, Mystery/Detective) and NYC Big Book Award (Distinguished Favorite). 
Now the gritty Detective Mystery thriller comes to life in immersive, cinematic audio with surround-style sound design and on-scene effects—be in the crime scene. 
Detective Charlie Dawson has seen more chaos than most men survive. Once the department’s sharpest mind, now the city whispers he’s past his prime. The chief saddles him with a rookie team—bright, eager, and far too green for what’s coming. Every lead drags them deeper into a cursed case that won’t let go. 
In the shadows of the investigation stands Thomas Caldwell—a decorated soldier turned military ghost. The kind of man who doesn’t appear in databases, only in after-action reports that end in black ink and burned pages. His presence shifts the case from ordinary homicide to something buried deep in government silence. Caldwell moves like a man still following orders no one remembers giving—precision in his steps, vengeance in his pulse, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. 
But then there’s Ms. Rose—a reporter with a razor-sharp eye and the rare ability to reach Dawson in ways no one else can. Yet every time she gets close, Caldwell’s shadow and Dawson’s mission collide—and if she does, they’ll all end up caught in the crossfire. 
Two men. Both trained to survive. 
One driven by duty. The other by revenge. 
When they collide—only chaos wins. 
Set in a twisted alternate version of the Big East, Ding Dong Ditch fuses police-procedural tension, hard-boiled grit, and psychological warfare into a relentless detective story of vengeance, loyalty, and survival. Tied to the independent film, this edition features layered soundscapes, precise cue hits, and visceral effects that put you on the pavement beside the evidence tape. 
Perfect for fans of dark crime thrillers, noir detectives, and edge-of-your-seat procedurals.

Druids Raptors and Egyptians -...

Thomas Kennedy

Irish Mythology and modern Multi-universe theory meet in an action adventure.
A pre-Celtic artifact transforms into a bracelet and climbs up your arm. And now you can speak any language. And you can travel ‘time-lines’. Imagine a multiuniverse with a ‘Time-line’ for every possible future and present.
When Kate, the daughter of an American Professor, finds the bracelet, she and her friends are catapulted into the ‘Time-lines’.
Into a Time-line of modern day sophisticated Raptor dinosaurs that regard humans as gourmet food.
And they also walk with modern Pharaohs of Egypt.
Conchobar is a teenage run-away from ‘Tir-na- Nogh’ (Celtic mythological ‘Land of the Young.’) He has lost his bracelet to Asil, the daughter of a farmer who is a modern Raptor in his Time-line.
Harrington, their Shoggoth (a being who performs a task) is actually a reporter with the prestigious Irish Times.
The Jamaican aunt of Kate’s friend Lana accidentally uses Obeah magic to make Harrington fall in love with her, and the children have to bring him across the Time-lines to break the spell.
He becomes the Oracle in the ‘Chapel of the Hearing Ear’ in the Time–line of the modern Pharaoh, the ruler of the Western World.
The Egyptians think the Raptor Asil, in reality a teenager, is ‘Wepwawet, the jackal God of Abydos, Lord of the Necroplis.’

The Raptors want to use Conchobar’s bracelet to transport the humans across from the Egyptian Time- line to sell them in their Raptor Time- line as ‘gourmet food.’ They offer to make Conchobar the Pharaoh if he will help them.
Kate and her team, aided by policewoman Mary, set out to put a stop to all this.
