Candide
Summary
"Candide" is a delightful story filled with boundless misadventure while tackling the great philosophical issues of the Enlightenment era. The story is about Candide, a young man who is the illegitimate nephew of a German baron with whom he resides. When it is discovered he is kissing the baron's beautiful daughter he is thrown from the castle where he experiences the horrors of war, poverty, the maliciousness of man, and the hypocrisy of the church. Obviously, Voltaire is poking fun at Leibniz, Pope, and others who assail that the world created by God was the best possible of all worlds with perfect order and reason, as spoken through the greatest of all fictional philosophers, Candide's tutor, Pangloss. As you listen to segments of "Candide", take the time to research both the book and Voltaire to gain a richer understanding of the themes interlaced throughout the audiobook.

The Curse of the Pearl Le Fong
Summary
A pearl with a long and bloody history. Author Tim Holter Bruckner offers up a noir-inspired story of intrigue, action, and adventure in the tradition of Dashiell Hammett. For centuries, the Pearl Le Fong's perfection inspired covetousness and brutality. Cold blooded murder brought it into the possession of England's most notorious criminal mastermind and only one man can put an end to Syng's reign of terror, consulting detective Desmond Owle. Owle's critical sensitivity to light plunges the investigation into the darkest corners of London society at the peril of his and Mrs. Rothman's life.

Shell Game
Summary
What do you know about someone? Someone close. A friend. A loved one. You know only what they want you to know. Nate Selegman's friend, Wilson Montgomery, a.k.a., Turtle, was a piece of work. He was a lying, conniving, self-serving jerk. And someone murdered him. And enjoyed doing it. The cops have no leads and no suspects. Nate decides to find out what happened to his old friend. The more he discovers the less he knows. One thing becomes clear. The Turtle he thought he knew was someone else. The Turtle he uncovers plunges him into a world of crime, double-dealing, blackmail, and murder. Trust is expensive, and his life, it turns out, is cheap.

Sensible Redhorn
Summary
Acts of torture, murder, and blackmail grip a city. And the man drawn to it, beckoned to observe and report on it, is the only one who may be able to stop it. Sensible Redhorn by Tim Holter Bruckner collects four adventures of the title character, a six-foot-six, 300-pound crime reporter for the Flashburn. Redhorn has seen evil like no other. And when that evil wrenches its way into the lives of the people closest to him, he'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if it means putting his own life in danger. A colorful cast of eccentric characters bring humor, intrigue and passion into each compelling tale. A sadistic crime boss hell bent on addicting children to a lethal, flesh-rotting drug. An armless man who perverts his own young offspring to a life of crime and murder. The ex-wife of his best friend who is willing to risk the lives of those once dearest to her for corrupting wealth. The return of an estranged brother determined to wrest the highest cost of revenge. In the center of this maelstrom of malevolence, Sensible Redhorn stays true, steady and determined. Committed to his friends, committed to fairness, committed to the truth. Even if it kills him.
