The Brand of Silence by Harrington Strong audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Harrington Strong was a pseudonym used by author Johnston McCulley, creator of the character Zorro and many others. The Brand of Silence - A Detective Story finds Sidney Prale returning to New York after ten years during which he sought his fortune. But he finds New York a very changed place, and even more distressing, he finds that his old friends are now turning their backs on him, his old haunts no longer welcome him, and there seems to be a conspiracy against him.

Why can't he receive service in hotels, restaurants, and theaters that he once frequented? Who is working against him? And just as importantly, why? And what is the meaning of the notes he receives which remind him of 'retribution'?

Janet of the Dunes by Harriet T. Comstock audiobook.

Genre: family

Known primarily for her children's books, Harriet T. Comstock would occasionally depart from that genre and showcase her writing talent in adult prose as well. Janet of the Dunes is one such departure wherein she masterfully takes us into the lives of the bold men and women who tended those life saving stations along the seaboard which many a ship relied upon for their safety. They were simple people, large of heart and as close-knit as a tiny community can and must ever be, and they, above all else, took their duties very seriously. The story revolves primarily around Janet and her 'Cap'n Billy Daddy' and how their lives and their devotion to one another are touched by the others within the small circle of people of the dunes, the hills, and the light.

Arm of the Law by Harry Harrison audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On the dusty margins of Mars, Nineport is a place people pass through, not a place they build. Its police station reflects that truth: a bored, graft-friendly chief, a couple of unreliable patrolmen, and one seasoned sergeant trying to keep the town from sliding completely into chaos. Then a coffin-sized crate arrives from Earth, addressed to the department with no warning and a promise of 'field testing.' Inside is Ned, a police experimental robot in a crisp, blue-painted uniform and armed with a literal-minded zeal for duty. At first, Ned is treated like expensive maintenance equipment, sweeping floors and sorting paperwork while the human cops get on with surviving Nineport. But when an armed robbery call comes in and the chief takes the lazy way out, Ned is sent into the street to do a cop's job. In a town where criminals operate under protection and everyone knows the name China Joe, one perfectly efficient machine is enough to upset every fragile arrangement. As violence flares and authority is challenged, the sergeant must decide what law enforcement means when the 'arm of the law' is made of metal, wiring, and unbreakable logic.
