Deliberation

Up and coming attorney Flora St. Aubryn has career case on her desk. She is sure the case against Beatric Armitage is circumstantial, but it would put her over the top if she could point the finger at the person responsible for Mr. Armitage’s death. People in the house that evening were:

• Mr. Archibald Armitage, food magnate
• Mrs. Beatrice Armitage, social elitist
• Mr. Chesney, the butler, haughty like his employers
• The Upstairs Maid, nice as far as we know
• Neill Clarendon, Mrs. Armitage’s secretary, polite

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For and this Toe Tag.

I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is normally a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery. Today is a bonus episode we call a Toe Tag. It is the first chapter from a fresh release in the mystery, crime, and thriller genre.

Today’s featured release is Relentless by Michael Maloof

Relentless is thriller. Kate Preacher is an ex-CIA analyst turned law firm investigator. When terrorists attack a Parisian café, Kate’s life instantly changes. An unwitting player in a high stakes game involving cyber criminals and geopolitical masterminds, she has to get her feet under her fast to survive in a world where it’s eat … or be eaten.

Bottom line: Relentless is for you if you like your action physical and your thrills embedded in computer code

Relentless is promoted by Partners In Crime Tours and is available from online book retailers.

I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.

Stored energy is a coiled viper waiting for the right moment to lash out. Owners, manufacturers, contractors, and beyond have developed safety protocols to combat STCKY, that is, Stuff That Can Kill You. Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Sound, Radiation, Biological, Chemical, Temperature. This season is all about the means of murder as authors put our STCKY detective skills to the test. This is Season 9, Stuff That Can Kill You.
