Mystery & Suspense Short Stories Collection, Vol 1 Summary

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 zombie killers on the prowl or chasing down grisly headhunters at a carnival, Ron knew how to thrill readers and keep them guessing until the end.

This 5-audiobook collection includes 6 short stories for 10 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 1 include: Spy Killer, The Chee-Chalker, Brass Keys to Murder, Cargo of Coffins, and Dead Men Kill (with: “Grounded”).

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.”

Book Descriptions:

Spy Killer: Falsely accused of murder and grand larceny, Kurt Reid flees to Shanghai. After rescuing a White Russian spy, he’s captured by the Chinese and forced into the cloak-and-dagger world of espionage and intrigue, where everything and everyone is not what they appear to be. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Shane Johnson, Jim Meskimen, and Tait Ruppert.

The Chee-Chalker: In Ketchikan, Alaska, FBI Agent Bill Norton discovers an heiress to a bankrupt fishing fleet and a string of corpses dismissed as “accidental drownings” … all leading him to a murderous heroin smuggling ring. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Tamra Meskimen, Tait Ruppert, Jim Meskimen, and Bob Caso.

Brass Keys to Murder: Navy Lieutenant Steve Craig is accused of murdering his own father. Determined to find out who took his father’s life—even if it means risking his own—Steve follows a trail of sudden violence and astonishing secrets that will change his life forever. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Bob Caso, Beth Leckbee, Jim Meskimen, and Jimmy Weldon.

Cargo of Coffins: Lars Marlin signs on as captain of an oceangoing yacht where his arch-nemesis, Paco Corvino (a man who considers murder a pastime) is aboard. Lars discovers Paco working as the chief steward, but suspects he is up to no good—and their voyage will likely prove to be a final bloody showdown. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Tait Ruppert, Keli Daniels, and Jim Meskimen.

Dead Men Kill: Detective-Sergeant Terry Lane investigates dual murders and discovers that the killers are already dead! Clue by clue, Lane unveils a plot involving Haitian voodoo and stumbles down a twisted trail towards the evil Dr. Leroux—and a possible fate worse than death. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jennifer Aspen, Matt Scott, John Mariano, and Jim Meskimen.
