The Abysmal Brute by Jack London audiobook.
Genre: comedy
Young Pat Glendon is twenty-two years old, weighs two-hundred and twenty pounds, has never drunk alcohol nor tasted tobacco and knows little of city life. He’s all muscle, moves with cat-like grace and possesses great stamina and strength acquired from living natural in the wilds of northern California with his father. Young Pat is a natural at prize-fighting. In addition to his brawn he has speed and a natural instinct for the sport. His father, a former heavyweight prize-fighter himself, has trained Young Pat and believes it is time for the boy to take on the heavyweight world. But being in poor health, the elder Glendon enlists Sam Stubener of San Francisco to be the boy’s manager with instructions to protect the boy from the rottenness of the sport.
Jack London’s The Abysmal Brute is a story about naivete and natural athleticism against the brutishness and corruption of professional boxing, intertwined with a touching romance. This novel was twice made into movies: The Abysmal Brute (1923) and Conflict (1936), the latter starring John Wayne as Young Pat Glendon.

The Charing Cross Mystery by J. S. Fletcher audiobook.
Genre: mystery
Here's another intriguing mystery by J. S. Fletcher, centering on why a former high-level police official was murdered, and on whether - and if so how - the murder was linked to two glamorous and high-profile sisters, one of whose photo was found in the dead man's pocket. As usual, Fletcher creates a number of different detectives -- a lawyer, his assistant, several policemen, a police spy, and even the dead man's granddaughter -- following various lines of inquiry. These lines converge rapidly in the last few chapters, when the author lets the reader weave them together into a coherent whole: the solution to the mystery.

The Bells of San Juan by Jackson Gregory audiobook.
Genre: adventure
In the sun-blasted desert town of San Juan, six old mission bells speak a language everyone understands: joy for a birth, alarm for a fire, and a hard, angry clamor when a man is killed. When gunshots shatter the town's uneasy calm, Ignacio Chavez, the half-idler, half-guardian bell-ringer, sends the fatal message rolling across sage and sand - and exposes how thin the line is between the Mission's quiet promise and the temptations of La Casa Blanca. Into this tinder-dry place steps Roderick Norton, a new sheriff who wants to be more than a badge in a lawless corner of California. But San Juan already has its own power brokers, and none is more dangerous than Jim Galloway, an ambitious criminal with plans that feed on greed, fear, and the shadow of trouble brewing across the Mexican border. As Norton tries to hold the town together, Virginia Page, a young doctor newly arrived in San Juan, finds herself pulled into the widening conflict, where duty and desire collide and every choice rings out like bronze. Jackson Gregory's Western adventure blends frontier justice, revenge, and unexpected love under the relentless music of the bells.
