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.

Snowdrift by James B. Hendryx audiobook.

Genre: adventure

The story revolves around Carter Brent, an alcoholic and gambler who had struck gold many times in the Yukon, but gambled and drank it away in Dawson; and Snowdrift, the half-breed who had spent her life with a wandering band of Indians in the frozen north country. Snowdrift had been raised by Wananebish, yet never knew who her father was, and yet Wananebish had somehow been able to send her to be schooled at a nearby mission.

The paths of this unlikely pair would cross in the barren lands of the Yukon where Brent had hopes of finding more gold, but it was well known that there was no gold in the region between Dawson and the MacKenzie. But Brent had that certain knack for striking gold, and due to his way of life, also had a certain knack for gambling and drinking it away. Plenty of action follows, while Brent performs his search with little or no money, runs across Snowdrift, and while a band of fellow gamblers who know of his luck follows closely on his trail, he must get his prize back to Dawson.

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.
