A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on the horizon. Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers, but with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore. Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts, but as they nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting herself, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, they all must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it’s too late–and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together.”– From publisher.

A Double Barrelled Detective Story is a novel by Mark Twain, in which Sherlock Holmes finds himself in the American west. At a mining camp in California, Fetlock Jones, a nephew of Sherlock Holmes, kills his master, a silver-miner, by blowing up his cabin. Since this occurs when Holmes happens to be visiting, he brings his skills to bear upon the case and arrives at logically worked conclusions that are proved to be abysmally wrong by an amateur detective with an extremely keen sense of smell, which he employs in solving the case. This could be seen as yet another piece where Twain tries to prove that life does not quite follow logic.

BARD annotation Take your breath away DB117930 Author: Barclay, Linwood Reading Time: 10 hours, 4 minutes Read by: Joe Knezevich, George Newbern, Karissa Vacker, (Michael Lockwood) Michael Crouch, Lauren Fortgang, Hillary Huber, Jim Meskimen, Pete Simonelli Subjects: Suspense Fiction, Mystery and Detective Stories, Psychological Fiction “One weekend, while Andrew Mason was on a fishing trip, his wife, Brie, vanished without a trace. Most everyone assumed Andy had got away with murder—it’s always the husband, isn’t it?—but the police could never build a strong case against him. For a while, Andy hit rock bottom—he drank too much to numb the pain, was abandoned by all his friends save one, nearly lost his business, and became a pariah in the place he once called home. Now, six years later, Andy has finally put his life back together. He sold the house he once shared with Brie and moved away. To tell the truth, he wasn’t sad to hear that the old place was razed and a new house built on the site. He’s settled down with a new partner, Jayne, and life is good. But Andy’s peaceful world is about to shatter. One day, a woman shows up at his old address, screaming, “Where’s my house? What’s happened to my house?” And then, just as suddenly as she appeared, the woman—who bears a striking resemblance to Brie—is gone. The police are notified and old questions—and dark suspicions—resurface. Could Brie really be alive after all these years? If so, where has she been? It soon becomes clear that Andy’s future and the lives of those closest to him depend on discovering what the hell is going on. The trick will be whether he can stay alive long enough to unearth the answers.” — Provided by publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

Join us as we delve into the intriguing case of Johnny Dollar investigating the mysterious disappearance of 12 apex taxi cabs, uncovering clues, motives, and the history behind the infamous Scarlet Madonna. This episode offers a detailed look at detective work, criminal motives, and the art of investigation.Most investigations hit a dead end — but what if the key to solving a complex crime lies in understanding the hidden motives behind stolen taxis and a legendary jewel? Johnny Dollar's latest case explodes into a web of deception, history, and high-stakes greed, revealing how the tiniest clues—like a buried gem or a seemingly minor tip—can crack the toughest mysteries. If you're tired of predictable detective stories and crave a narrative that keeps you guessing at every turn, this episode is your secret weapon.Uncover how Johnny transforms what appears to be a routine theft into a deeper dive into European history, dangerous sabotage, and a deadly obsession with the Scarlet Madonna—a legendary jewel wrapped in blood and legend since the 13th century.

Johnny Dollar's knack for reading between the lines reveals how small details—like a purse left in a cab or a misplaced travel card—point toward a much bigger plot.We break down: the importance of piecing together motive versus opportunity, how to spot a fake story from a mile away, and the art of following subtle clues that lead straight into danger. Johnny's sharp intuition and relentless pursuit of the truth showcase how even minor suspicions can prevent or provoke deadly consequences. What's at stake isn't just insurance claims but the fate of a priceless artifact that has traveled through centuries of bloodshed and betrayal.This episode underscores why understanding the motive isn't just a clue—it's the entire case.

Don't miss the story where a legendary jewel, a ruined reputation, and the relentless drive of one man collide in a suspense-filled adventure that's as timeless as the blood-stained history behind the Scarlet Madonna.Johnny Dollar, Taxi Cabs, Investigation, Scarlet Madonna, Crime, Mystery, Detective Story, Insurance Fraud

Send a textWhat happens when a passing reference in graduate school turns into a decades-long archival investigation?In this episode, classicist Michele Ronnick shares the remarkable scholarly detective story that led her to recover the life and legacy of William Sanders Scarborough, a formerly enslaved scholar who became one of the most important Black classicists in American history.Beginning during the intellectual debates surrounding Black Athena, Dr. Ronnick questioned why Black participation in classical studies seemed largely absent from academic narratives. That question launched an international archival search involving rare books, unpublished manuscripts, institutional collections, and forgotten correspondence.Her work ultimately resulted in the recovery and publication of Scarborough's autobiography and renewed recognition of his groundbreaking 1881 Greek textbook—considered the first foreign-language textbook authored by a person of African descent.The conversation expands beyond Scarborough to illuminate a broader intellectual network of underrecognized Black classical scholars connected through institutions like Howard University and the AME Church. Along the way, we explore archival discovery, academic exclusion, historical erasure, and the ongoing importance of student research in preserving overlooked histories.Episode Timeline00:00 Why Classics Mattered 00:24 Graduate School Origins 02:02 Black Athena Era Questions 02:53 Finding Scarborough 05:40 Chasing Lost Archives 09:24 Autobiography Breakthrough 12:04 Beyond Scarborough's Network 18:46 Calhoun Quote and Historical Irony 23:37 Teaching and Legacy 27:07 Building the Photo Installation 28:08 Hunting Flia Campbell 29:33 Archive Breakthrough Photo 31:12 Expanding the Scholar List 32:19 Pinkney Warren Russell Evidence 34:43 Greener and Scarborough Letters 40:22 George Lightfoot at Howard 45:50 Inspiring New ResearchersAbout the GuestDr. Michele Valerie Ronnick is Distinguished Service Professor Emerita of Classics at Wayne State University and a leading scholar in recovering the history of Black classicists in the United States.

EPISODE 103 - “ELEANOR PARKER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 9/01/25 This week, we celebrate our Star of the Month: the extraordinary ELEANOR PARKER. Known as “the woman of a thousand faces,” Parker built a remarkable career defined by range, subtlety, and strength. From her Oscar-nominated turn as a wrongly imprisoned woman in Caged, to her quietly powerful presence as the Baroness in The Sound of Music, she consistently defied typecasting and brought nuance to every role. But behind the glamour was a private, fiercely independent woman whose legacy has too often been overlooked in Hollywood history. Join us as we dive deep into the life, career, and enduring mystique of Eleanor Parker—a star who truly deserves to be remembered.

Todd Taylor started as a full time firefighter for 7 years. He went to the PD to be able to have full custody of his son, something a FF schedule wouldn't allow. He never intended to stay with the PD but it happened. He was put into special units fairly quickly and was a definite shit magnet! Todd worked patrol, narcotics, and was a member of the state task force team.  He suffered from a broken back on duty which he healed from eventually, until it broke two more times.  Todd has some amazing stories and is one hell of a tough guy!
