Things only really begin to make sense when the two investigators realize what the bloody number stands for.

THE RIDER OF THE RUBY HILLS A Western Duo By Louis L’Amour Read by Grover Gardner and Jim Gough
A MAN CALLED TRENT A Western Duo By Louis L’Amour Read by Jim Gough
In “The Trail to Peach Meadow Canyon,” Mike Basian was trained to be an outlaw, but now that the time has come for him to inherit the gang, Mike isn’t sure he wants to live a life of crime. In “Showdown Trail,” Rock Bannon tries to save a wagon of citizens from a smooth-talking con man who’s leading them into dangerous territory.
In “The Sixth Shotgun,” Leo Carver has been sentenced to hang for robbery and murder. He is convicted despite his protests of innocence, but questions soon arise over what really happened. “The Rider of the Ruby Hills” is the story of Ross Haney, who rides into Ruby Hills country hoping to settle down—and instead finds ranchers battling for control of the valley.
In “A Man Called Trent,” nester Dick Moffitt lies dead, killed by King Bill Hale’s riders. His son Jack and adopted daughter Sally, who witnessed the murder, go for safety to a cabin owned by a man called “Trent”—an alias for Kilkenny, who is seeking to escape his reputation as a gunfighter. In “The Rider of Lost Creek,” Lance Kilkenny is the fastest gun in the West, but once the gunfight is over, he disappears. Some time back, Mort Davis saved Kilkenny’s life. Now Davis needs Kilkenny’s help with a pair of feuding ranchers taking over his property.

Worse than that, Miles quickly discovers Yawnee Valley already has a prankster—and a great one. If Miles is going to take the title from this mystery kid, he’ll have to raise his game.

Guess Who’s Coming to Kill You
by Ellery Queen Read by Mark Peckham
by Ellery Queen Reader to be announced
Police captain Bartholdi sometimes indulged himself in a harmless fantasy. His thoughts, he would imagine, were irresponsible imps that wriggled out of his head and scampered around with an abandon that was often embarrassing. A woman had been kidnapped. The woman was dead. Bartholdi was convinced that a murderer was at that moment having a grim laugh at his expense. He knew who the murderer was. But he could not, knowing, prove what he knew. He needed confirmation of one critical point. From among his antic imps, he culled the three that had directed his mind to its present state: one newspaper too many, a girl who slept too soundly, and, most important of all, a ragout with too many onions.
“Let’s face it, Alex: you were the KGB’s top assassin, and they paid you off. Just as we might. A cushy lieutenant-colonelcy in Tokyo, riding pour le sport, a yacht, your pick of Eurasian dolls … Like? We can do you better in the USA, Alex—come on over, and bring your secrets with you.” That was FACE’s pitch to the would-be defector, and it got results. Witness one hell of a nice courier slashed and dumped in a Tokyo alley. Maybe Agent Pete Brook could make jolly Alex’s dream come true. Except what did Krylov really long for in America: wine, women, and song—or a dramatic return to the murderer’s trade?

Who killed Cox, the robber? Was it Ruth Tully, who visited Crandall Cox on the night of his death, and who might have decided to quench a torrid past with a spray of bullets? What about Sandra Jean, the knock’em-dead beauty, who knew more than she was telling about the sudden demise of blackmailer Cox? Or had some past scandal driven lawyer Ollie Hurst and his wife, Norma, to claim the blackmailer’s life? Dave Tully didn’t know who the killer was, but if he didn’t find out fast, the price of failure could be death.
Madman or murderer? That was the question and it was Police Inspector Omar Collins who had come up with the answer. All he had to go on was: the victim— Earl Genneman, wealthy president of Genneman Labs; the scene—right in the middle of a busy state park; the murder weapon—a shotgun that was still missing; the witnesses—Myron Retwig, Red Kershaw, Bob Vega, and Buck James, all friends or employees of the deceased; the motive—unknown; the suspects— everyone!
