    Anish Kapoor: Between Painting and Sculpture: Cv/Visual Arts Research, Book 232, Hörbuch, Digital, 16min
    A recorded visit to an exhibition by Anish Kapoor at the Lisson Gallery, London continued to 22nd June, 2019. Includes descriptions of works and bio-dara of the artist. In the rear ground floor space of the gallery a suite of new paintings, completed at the end of 2018. Each canvas is 274 cms tall by 213 cms wide. The colour range is restricted and highly pitched, a distinctly abstract expressionist handling with sweeping brush and hand work. An aggressive and confrontational approach infuses a violently striated surface. A basic pink shape, in some like sagging flesh or an upturned vessel is worked with smeared white strokes, then corrupted by slashed veins of blood red and pitch black, scarring the lower part of the canvases. The hand work introduces an element of unleashed energy on the white ground, in a scheme of unleashed emotion. It is violently expressive, chaotic and turbulent. The painting ‘Teeth’ 2018 resembles a tip tilted jug spewing corrupted matter. These recent paintings progress of the artist’s constant preoccupation with the life force of the body. Previously viewed in the giant ‘Leviathan’; a maroon inflatable of spectacular dimension installed in Monumenta 2011 at the Grand Palais Paris. Here visitors walked inside the heart shaped cavern, encountering receding passages of valves and vents. Kapoor has never resisted dynamic scale for maximum resonance of effect. Language: English.

    The Killing 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1234min
    Thirty nine steps rose from the busy road of Tuborgvej into Mindelunden, with its quiet graves and abiding bitter memories. Lennart Brix, head of the Copenhagen homicide team, felt he’d been walking those most of his life. Beneath the entrance arch, sheltering from the icy rain, he couldn’t help but recall that first visit almost fifty years before. A five-year-old boy, clutching the hand of his father, barely able to imagine what he was about see…The bark of a dog broke his reverie. Brix looked at the forensic officers, white bunny suits, mob hats, marching grim-faced down the rows of graves, towards the space in the little wood where the rest of the team was gathering… Three gnarled stakes, replicas now, with the originals in the Frihedsmuseet.A woman was tied to the centre pole, hands behind her back, bound with heavy rope round her torso. Blonde hair soaked with rain and worse, head down, chin on chest, crouched awkwardly on her knees. A gaping wound at her neck like a sick second smile. She wore a blue dressing gown slashed in places all the way to the waist, flesh and skin visible where the frenzied blade had stabbed at her.Her face was bruised and dirty. Blood poured from her nostrils, had dried down each side of her mouth, like makeup on a tragic clown… ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christian Rodska.

    New York Times best-selling author and Cosmopolitan‘s editor-in-chief returns with a sizzling, page-turning thriller in which an ordinary woman flees the scene of a murder—and realizes it’s not just the law that’s hunting her. When Lake Warren learns that her husband, Jack, is suing for full custody of their two kids four months after their separation, she’s pretty certain that things can’t get any worse. The upside is that she’s working with the Advanced Fertility Center as a marketing consultant, alongside the attractive, flirtatious Dr. Keaton. But the morning after their one-night stand, Lake finds Keaton with his throat slashed and discovers that things can indeed become worse—they can become deadly. So as not to jeopardize her case for custody, Lake is forced to lie to the police. Having just been intimate with a man who has been murdered, and wanting to protect herself from being charged with the crime, she begins her own search for the truth. Meanwhile, the police start looking at her closely, people at the clinic start treating her with hostility, and strange clues begin dropping—quite literally—on her doorstep, and Lake realizes that she is dangerously close to dark secrets, both about Keaton and the clinic. But can Lake stop what she’s started before it’s too late? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aimee Jolson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/002124/bk_harp_002124_sample.mp3.

    Secret of the White Rose , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
    The murder of Judge Hugo Jackson is out of Detective Simon Ziele's jurisdiction in more ways than one. For one, its high-profile enough to command the attention of the notorious new police commissioner, since Judge Jackson was presiding over the sensational trial of Al Drayson. Drayson, an anarchist, set off a bomb at a Carnegie family wedding, but instead of killing millionaires, it killed passersby, including a child. The dramatic trial has captured the full attention of 1906 New York City. Furthermore, Simons assigned precinct on Manhattan's West Side includes the gritty Tenderloin but not the tonier Gramercy Park, which is where the judge is found in his locked town house with his throat slashed on the night before the jury is set to deliberate. But his widow insists on calling her husband's old classmate criminologist, Alistair Sinclair, who in turn enlists Ziele's help. Together they must steer Sinclair's unorthodox methods past a police force that is so focused on rounding up Drayson's supporters that they’ve all but rejected any other possibilities. Once again, Stefanie Pintoff’'s combination of vital characters and a fascinating case set amongst the sometimes brutal and sometimes glittering history of turn-of-the-century New York makes for totally compelling reading in Secret of the White Rose, the third novel in her Edgar Award-winning series. ungekürzt.

    Gumshoe Rock: The Mortimer Angel Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
    USA Today best-selling author"Mortimer Angel is my favorite private eye." (John Lescroart, New York Times best-selling author)Early in July, Northern Nevada’s senior Internal Revenue Service agent, Ronald Soranden - disliked by every agent in the Reno IRS office - vanished without a trace. In September, he makes a dramatic reappearance, of sorts. His skull - stripped clean and white - is dropped through the slashed top of a Mustang convertible. The vehicle belongs to Lucy Landry, PI Mortimer Angel’s gorgeous young assistant now working with him on a seemingly unrelated embezzlement case. But Mort is a former IRS field agent in Reno. He’d done his time during the tyrannical reign of Soranden, quitting, he says, "when I discovered I have a soul." Now that his former boss' head has appeared, he and Lucy find them themselves under the annoying surveillance of a pair of IRS enforcement agents.When the FBI are brought in to investigate the murder, Mort and Lucy realize shocking details about their own case - primarily Soranden’s involvement. It becomes evident that events and suspects of the embezzlement case and Soranden’s murder are heavily entangled with those enmeshed in an ugly case of blackmail. Mort and Lucy are roped tighter and tighter into the Soranden investigation while they grapple with the deadliest situation of their PI careers. Mortimer Angel has been in harrowing, lethal situations before and has suffered incalculable losses, but none more horrifying than the trap embedded in Gumshoe Rock. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Extinction Club: A Neo-Noir Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 727min
    In this dazzling thriller, shortlisted for Canada’s Edgar Award, the list of endangered animals includes some humans. Nile Nightingale is on the run. Fleeing across the border to rural Quebec, he seeks refuge at an abandoned church when his junked-up, overstimulated mind takes in that he has just witnessed a body drop - in a bloody sack tied with Christmas ribbon. The contents, unconscious but still alive, turn out to be 15-year-old Cleste Jonqures, who has been beaten and slashed, like wild game, to slowly bleed out. From his hideout, as he nurses his patient back from the brink and begins to face his own life, he pieces together what he has stumbled into. Animal rights activists, Cleste and her beloved grandmother have taken on a vicious poaching ring, operating from Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains and dealing in bear and other animal parts for the international market, with the collusion of corrupt rangers and police. Her grandmother has died suspiciously. And now that Nile has saved Cleste from the dead, the poachers and their accomplices in this small town have taken notice and are cautiously, but inexorably, closing in. Featuring two brilliant misfits as unlikely sleuths and by turns comic and darkly tragic, this haunting thriller is a neo-noir tour de force, abounding in puzzles and mysteries from a missing cat to the fate of the Eastern cougar. ungekürzt.
