Do you love a good whodunit? Detectives and mobsters, newshawks and murderers–all ingredients for disaster in this murder mystery collection. Whether it was sending a detective after missing ships at sea or chasing down grisly headhunters at a carnival, Ron knew how to thrill readers and keep them guessing until the end.

This 6-audiobook collection includes 15 short stories for 12 hours of immersive entertainment. All audiobooks are unabridged, full-cast productions with cinematic quality sound effects that bring the stories and characters to vivid life.

Titles and short stories in the Mystery & Suspense Collection Vol 2 include: The Carnival of Death (with: “The Death Flyer”), Hurricane, Mouthpiece (with: “Flame City,” “Calling Squad Cars!” and “The Grease Spot”), False Cargo, Killerʼs Law (with: “They Killed Him Dead,” “The Mad Dog Murder,” and “The Blow Torch Murder”), and The Slickers (with: “Killer Ape” and “Murder Afloat”).

You will love this collection because, as Ellery Queen describes the stories, they have “Colorful prose, lively action writing, exotic locales, fresh variations on standard characters and situations, and well-constructed plots.” And George Clayton Johnson (author of Logan’s Run) calls it, “On a par with Jack London, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Dashiell Hammett.”
