Sinopse

It could be lights out for British sleuth Patrick Dawlish when a dangerous new drug hits London and falls into the hands of a criminal mastermind.   After a Paris vacation with his wife, Patrick Dawlish steps off the train and is welcomed home by trouble, to no one’s surprise. An esteemed medical researcher who wanted Dawlish’s help while being blackmailed has gone missing. For months the poor doctor’s mind has been wracked with fear, derailing his work on a cure for a devastating virus and plunging him into financial ruin.   The search for the doctor puts a target on Dawlish’s back—and everyone close to him—just as a series of bizarre murders begin. Some small-time crooks are drugged into a blissful sleep never to awaken again. And that’s enough to convince Dawlish that there’s a big-time thief behind the scenes, one who’s gotten his hands on the ultimate weapon to satisfy his lust for wealth and power . . .

    This recording has been digitally produced by Blake Pierce, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. Brilliant FBI forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red is desperately needed when a new killer claims victims with an eerie signature of pest control.

    “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
    —Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    LET HER RUN is book #6 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
    
    Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
    
    Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
    
    With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
    
    But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
    
    A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

    📿 Bead shop owner and jewelry artist Gemma Beadle is preparing for the annual Jewelry Arts Festival when the festival's head judge—a notoriously harsh critic of beadwork—is found dead in her shop, a rare vintage bead mysteriously lodged in her throat. The police suspect a freak accident, but Gemma notices the bead doesn't match her inventory and the victim's critique notes contain patterns that form a hidden message in beadwork code. With her bead business temporarily closed and the jewelry community buzzing with suspicion, Gemma must string together the clues to clear her name. Assisted by her beading circle and the handsome gemologist analyzing mineral compositions, Gemma uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit beads, stolen cultural artifacts, and a black market for rare semiprecious stones. From suspicious drill holes that reveal modern tooling to glass compositions that don't match the stated era, every bead tells a story. But when Gemma discovers the victim was systematically devaluing authentic cultural beadwork to acquire it cheaply for resale, she realizes the killer is protecting an artistic heritage more precious than any gemstone. With the festival approaching and the real culprit still stringing lies, Gemma must thread the needle of truth before her own reputation gets permanently tarnished.

    At sixteen, I felt I would always be a misfit. 
    Popularity had eluded me, and I was pretty much a loner by choice. My world existed on the internet; gaming, and chat rooms were my escape, because there, my anonymity was my shield. 
    Known by my handle, D-10, I fit in with the others, and met some phenomenal virtual friends. One special friend in fact was Dastardly Damned. We clicked. We gamed online, and finally we made plans to meet at a local hangout. 
    Only I never saw his face.  
    I never saw what was coming. 
    My life would never be the same. 
    And Dastardly Damned would pay...

    Former police officer turned private detective Davis Reed is taking refuge in the mountains of Cruso, North Carolina, after a run-in with a biker gang dealt him an unfavorable hand.
