A Network of Crime by Nicholas Carter audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When a frantic phone call reaches Nick Carter's Madison Avenue home, his junior assistant Patsy Garvan learns that Frank Mantell needs the famous detective at once: there is half a million dollars at stake, and time is running out. But Nick and his chief assistant, Chick Carter, are already on another urgent assignment - a brutal double murder in a quiet Manhattanville house that should have been empty. Inside, the evidence points to a savage struggle, a planned meeting gone wrong, and intruders who may have used a false rental to secure the perfect trap.As Patsy races to connect Mantell's desperate business with Nick's grisly crime scene, the case begins to widen beyond a single night of violence. A battered suitcase, a bloodstained slouch hat, and whispers of a man from Mexico hint at a far larger plot, where respectable fronts and waterfront dealings conceal a tangled web of thieves, gangsters, and high value loot. To untie the knot, Nick must trace each thread through New York's underworld, testing every alibi and every disguise - before the hidden network strikes again.

The Great Stone Face and Other Tales of the White Mountains by Nathaniel Hawthorne audiobook.

Genre: folklore

Set among the granite peaks, deep notches, and sudden storms of New Hampshire's White Mountains, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Great Stone Face and Other Tales of the White Mountains gathers a haunting set of legends that blend New England landscape with moral wonder. The centerpiece tale follows Ernest, a humble village boy who grows to manhood beneath the shadow of the Great Stone Face, a vast natural profile carved into a mountain. A local prophecy claims that one day a person will appear whose life and character mirror that stern, noble visage, and Ernest watches the passing years as travelers, heroes, and celebrated figures come and go, each tested against the mountain's silent standard. Surrounding this story are additional mountain chronicles of peril, desire, and awe: guests drawn to lonely houses on tempest nights, seekers tempted by unearthly riches, and wanderers who discover that the wilderness can reflect the darkest corners of the heart. With vivid scenery and a quiet, fable-like voice, Hawthorne explores ambition, humility, community, and the uneasy line between nature's beauty and its power.

Midnight by Octavus Roy Cohen audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a bitter December night, taxi driver Spike Walters is just trying to finish his shift in a city locked in sleet and cold. Then a veiled, well-dressed woman hails his cab at Union Station, gives a quiet address, and rides in silence. Minutes later, at the destination, Spike turns to collect his fare and finds the impossible: his passenger has vanished, a suitcase sits where she had been, and a dead man is slumped in the back seat. The victim, Roland Warren, is no nobody, and the suitcase seems to tie the missing woman to the murder in ways that make no sense at all. With the police closing in and Spike desperate to clear his name, the case lands in the hands of David Carroll, a detective whose patience, empathy, and sharp eye for human motives cut through the city's gossip and high-society veneers. As Carroll follows thin leads across boardinghouses, offices, and drawing rooms, every answer opens a new question, and the truth behind the midnight ride proves far more tangled than a simple robbery gone wrong.
