Tracked by a Tattoo by Fergus Hume (1859 - 1932) LibriVox Mysteries abound in this crime novel by Fergus Hume. Mr. Fanks, detective of Scotland Yard, is not all he seems, for when off-duty, he assumes his real identity of Octavius Rixton, well-to-do idler. When the scent of a murder reaches him, he is instantly Mr. Fanks and on the pursuit. A guilty looking innkeeper nicknamed Queen Beelzebub and a suspicious doctor named Renshaw further complicate his beginning investigation, and he finds the body is a man with a tattoo on his arm that has been partially obliterated by a knife. Where no one is as he seems the mystery can only deepen before its solution. - Summary by Don W. Jenkins The Unmotivational Podcast Michael Paul Lane I (Michael Paul Lane) was born and raised in a religious cult and left the home on my 18th birthday. I was finally allowed to date for the first time, listen to whatever I want, and do whatever I want- it was true freedom. But freedom and options can be complicated and overwhelming. Trying to understand what's right or wrong seemed impossible in the real world. I started my first business at the age of 18, married by 19, and was burnt out and divorced by 23. Bitten by the entrepreneurial bug, knocked off my feet, and driven by the scent of life, this action led me on a path towards profound self-discovery. After years of starting companies, traveling the world, learning from so many people, and experiencing the edges of life- I decided to cultivate a personal brand that shares my rare perspective and truly reflects my personal style called QIAROSKURO. Qiaroskuro was designed for those unique individuals who choose to live a life of contrasting experiences.
