The Great Taxicab Robbery by James H. Collins audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In 1912, $25,000 was stolen during a bank transfer in New York City in broad daylight. In what may appear astonishing in today's world, the transfer occurred in a New York City taxicab. This factual account brings true crime of the early twentieth century to life. The various methods used by the detectives and police in their attempts to solve the mystery behind the robbery, and hopefully bring the thieves to justice, makes for great reading, particularly when one considers the fact that the accounts occurred over a century ago, and are quite authentic. Although the police now have higher technological advantages than was available over a century ago, the reader may find that many general techniques haven't changed all that much over the years. The characters involved with this true caper prove ingenious on both sides.

The Trawler by James Brendan Connolly audiobook.

Genre: drama

In Gloucester, Massachusetts, the news comes ashore like a breaker in the night: Arthur Snow, a young bank fisherman, has been swept from the deck of the trawler Arbiter and lost at sea. His father, John Snow, and his niece, Mary, receive the story with grief - and with anger aimed at the vessel's skipper, Hugh Glynn, a towering, fiercely proud captain whose hunger to outwork and outrun every other craft has earned him both admiration and fear. When Glynn himself arrives to speak with the Snows, the tragedy turns into a reckoning, forcing everyone to weigh seamanship against ambition, and pride against responsibility. Watching it all is Simon Kippen, Arthur's close friend, who feels the pull of loyalty and unfinished duty. Determined to understand what took Arthur - and to prove what kind of man he will be - Simon asks for Arthur's place aboard Glynn's vessel as a dory mate, sailing into the brutal, routine danger of the Grand Banks. Between Gloucester and Newfoundland, amid hard weather, harder labor, and the tight bonds of men who risk everything for a share, Simon must face the sea, the skipper, and his own conflicted heart.

Genre: mystery

“No Clue! A Mystery Story” finds detective Jefferson Hastings at the home of wealthy but eccentric Arthur Sloane one hot summer night, when two other guests at Sloanehurst stumble across the body of young Mildred Brace lying dead on the lawn. Sloane’s daughter Lucille asks Hastings to help solve the crime, but Hastings gets surprisingly little help from anybody he interviews, including Mr. Sloane himself and even the mother of the victim. With few clues to aid him and nobody beyond suspicion, including himself, seemingly rock solid alibis begin to fall apart, expanding the list of potential suspects, and Hastings must rely on subtle expressions and the scant evidence at hand to try to solve the murder.
