Howard Tayler’s “An Honest Death” stars the security team for the CEO of a biotech firm about to release the cure for old age. When an intruder appears and then vanishes from the CEO’s office, the bodyguards must discover why he is lying to them about his reason for pressing the panic button.

How do I un-zip my download?
When you download the file, it arrives on your computer in a compressed format called zip. Before you can add the audio files to your library and listen to it, you'll need to decompress, or "unzip" it. Doing so is very easy: If you're on a PC, right-click the file and choose Extract All... You're done. If you're on a Mac, double-click the file and it extracts into a separate folder next to where the other file is located.
My zip download says it's expired. What now?
