About this listen
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.

“Adventure,” L. Ron Hubbard said, “I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.” In his stories, which were uniquely drawn from true-to-life experiences, including then-rare voyages to Asia and the South Pacific, he adventured grandly, carrying readers into the cold, storm-swept sea, or the heat of a vast desert or the wild currents of the air. A member of the famed Explorers Club, Mr. Hubbard delivered in these stories a sharp jolt of reality with a healthy dose of pulse-pounding bold adventure.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Fun, balanced and luxurious performance. Laughs!
Loads of action and catty dialog, shady and not so shady characters with noble or not so noble intentions. The authentic period sound effects compliment the reading and voice performance without overwhelming or distracting from the story. Similar to era favorites like Bogie and Becall era performances in the movies.

Exciting stories that carry me along
I love the collection. Each story is exciting. I like the characters and how the heroes are not Snow White while being on the right side of Justice. The heroines are dangerous and intriguing. Overall it’s just nice, clean entertainment.
