22: Hell on the Halifax (A Mob Tale) 11/05/2021

22: Hell on the Halifax (A Mob Tale) Life in the mob was hell for Freddie Cobo. By 1978 he'd crossed lines he thought he'd never cross — including committing multiple murders. But getting out of "the life" was easier said than done, especially when your boss is the most vicious and feared mobster in the city. Can Freddie get out of "the life" alive? Can he give his son, Little Freddie, one last innocent trick-or-treating memory for Halloween? Or will death snatch him up first? *WARNING: This episode is a work of fiction.

21: The Cinnamon Standoff (Miss Monette's Mysteries #1) 03/31/2021

21: The Cinnamon Standoff (Miss Monette's Mysteries #1) In 2002, somebody broke into Big Ed's Junkyard and "stole" 7 old, out-of-circulation school buses. But rather than drive them out of the open gate to get away, the thief or thieves simply left the old buses stranded against the fence inside the yard... why? That's exactly what Miss Monette is determined to figure out. But will this seemingly unimportant mystery unravel into something much bigger than a simple break-in gone bad? Does this odd little happening even really matter? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding YES. You're going to want to take a listen to see how it all unfolds in the first case of this new, ongoing series within a series called "Miss Monette's Mysteries". What do you think? Any theories? Any hunches? Grab some earbuds, put on your detective hat and join Miss Monette on her quest for answers... and let the mystery begin!
