How to Find a Black Cat in a Coal Cellar
How do we know if we can beat the bookmaker? That's easy: just look at our bank balance. But how do we know if we've not just been lucky? More specifically, how do we know that someone who says he can do it, and who is selling his 'expertise', can keep doing it again and again, through talent, skill and hard work? This book examines the techniques available to answer that question, to identify those qualities and to help the punter find value for money in an industry that appears to be largely built on trust and the influence of chance; to uncover the truth about sports tipsters and ultimately how to find the best tipsters - the 'Black Cats'.
The Dax Corvo Cases - Five Echoes of an Unseen Truth
Meet Dax Corvo: The Man Who Tastes the Truth In a city of secrets and lies, some crimes are too strange, too perfect, too impossible for traditional police work. When the clues make no sense, when the murder weapon is invisible, and when the killer is a ghost, they don't call a detective. They call a consultant. They call Dax Corvo. Dax is not a psychic. He is not a magician. He is a man with a rare and powerful neurological condition known as associative synesthesia. For him, the world is a symphony of sensory information that no one else can perceive. He doesn't just solve crimes. He experiences them. A lie isn't just a falsehood; it has a taste, often like burnt sugar or cold, jagged metal. A hidden emotion, like a killer's rage or a victim's fear, isn't just a concept; it hangs in the air with a distinct scent. The echo of a violent act doesn't just fade; it leaves behind a sound, a dissonant chord that reverberates only for him. This gift makes him the most formidable investigator alive, able to perceive the hidden architecture of a crime, to read the story written in the sensory residue of an event. But this gift is also a profound curse. Once the most brilliant forensic analyst in federal law enforcement, Dax's career was shattered when a manipulative killer, a monster of supreme intellect, discovered his secret. This killer didn't just commit murder; he composed it. He learned to play Dax’s senses like a musical instrument, crafting a crime scene with false sensory clues that led Dax to accuse an innocent man, destroying multiple lives and Dax's faith in his own mind. Now, Dax Corvo works in the shadows, a reluctant consultant battling the ghosts of his past and the sensory noise of the present. He takes on the cases no one else can solve, facing killers who operate on the very edge of reality, all while fighting to trust the senses that once betrayed him so completely. His adventures will pull you into a world where the mysteries are as unique as the man who solves them: The Echo of Drowning: How do you find a killer when the victim drowned in a perfectly dry, hermetically sealed room? Dax’s senses detect the impossible taste of salt water, pointing to a murder that science says could not have happened. The Silence of the Marionettes: A beloved philanthropist is found dead, surrounded by posed puppets. The crime scene is a work of art, but it leaves behind no clues—no DNA, no cause of death, and for Dax, no sensory echo. He must hunt a killer whose signature is a terrifying, absolute silence. A Taste of Deceit: A celebrity chef collapses and dies on live television, his symptoms screaming poison. But when the autopsy finds nothing, Dax is left with a single, phantom clue: the lingering taste of bitter almonds. He must unravel a murder where the weapon was not a chemical, but an idea. The Color of a Lie: A faceless entity named Janus begins exposing the city’s darkest secrets, leading to a wave of public suicides. The hacks are perfect, untraceable. The only clue is a bizarre, impossible color woven into the data—a signature that only Dax can see, forcing him to seek help from the one man who knows how to break his mind. The Sound of a Closed Circle: Lured to a remote, snowbound resort, Dax finds himself trapped with the five people responsible for his downfall. When a murder occurs, the sensory clues—the scent of his own cologne, the sound of a clock from his office—are a perfect symphony of his guilt. He must solve the crime while being framed by his own senses. Step into the world of Dax Corvo, where the truth has a flavor, and every lie leaves a stain. If you are a fan of high-concept mysteries that blend the intellectual rigor of Sherlock Holmes with the visceral, psychological depth of a modern thriller, his adventures are waiting for you.
Lakefrot an action adventure mystery thriller
He just wanted to sell condos. Now he's drowning in secrets. Rex Dial is a young real estate developer betting everything on Lakefront Estates, his dream condo project on the shores of a deceptively calm Arkansas lake. But with the bank breathing down his neck and his millionaire dream evaporating, Rex concocts a desperate marketing scheme: a flashy, bikini-hosted "Extreme Fishing" show to lure buyers. What he hooks instead is a deadly secret dredged from the murky depths – a decades-old underwater treasure tied to dirty money, dangerous ledgers, and the lake's buried history. Suddenly, Rex is navigating treacherous waters far deeper than any creek channel. His ambitious assistant, Patty, sees the find as her ticket out, playing a dangerous game of manipulation. A reluctant divemaster, Jerry, gets pulled into the hazardous retrieval, bringing his own connections to the local criminal underworld, including his ruthless cousin Curtis and the menacing Ray-Ray. And lurking in the shadows are the Jenkins clan, tied to the cove's dark past and ready to reclaim what they believe is theirs. LAKEFRONT is a gritty, fast-paced Southern Noir thriller in the vein of Ozark and the works of John D. MacDonald. It plunges readers into a world of simmering tension, desperate characters, and deadly secrets where the placid surface of the lake hides unimaginable darkness below. Fans of action mystery, crime fiction, lake thrillers, and suspenseful reads will be hooked by this gripping tale of ambition, greed, and the price of unearthing buried truths.
