    The Pussycat : Brothel: The Magnolia Diaries, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 114min, (USK 18)
    The bell chirps, alerting us to men on the property. It rings through the whole house like a dinner bell. No matter my mood, as soon as I hear it, I perk up. Nothing can get me out of my bed faster than the sound of that bell and knowing what is waiting.I love the morning guests. Working in the morning is my favorite time. Anyone who comes in the morning knows what to expect. He’s hard up from the night before - maybe he’s been working all night and wants it slow with a pliant woman. They usually come fast, and most of the time they can be talked into staying a little while, and being worked up again.The whole deal is to make as much money off a guy as you can. Marcus insists on pushing the sale, doing anything, saying anything to get it. I don’t have a hard time talking them into staying, especially if he’s got a fat wallet.I have no shame. No lie is too big. No act is too much. I like it all. That’s why, I’m in this business - the business of being a whore. I love being one. Until falling in love changed everything. ungekürzt.

    2nd, revised and expanded editionIn hazardous situations, alerting those affected and intervention services is crucial. In several cases, there is however a lack of evidence of any hazard at the location of the incident. In such cases we are talking about false alarms. There are many different causes for false alarms and the phenomenon is widespread. They exist for example in alarm and early warning systems, people screeners, in the diagnosis of diseases, in journalism and in politics.This False Alarm Study is the result of the work of the Euralarm Task Group on False Alarms. The Task Group investigated the false alarm issue of fire detection and fire alarm systems in several European countries. The material was carefully collected and objectively processed using a comprehensible basis to achieve comparable calculations and identify trends and risk priorities. The study provides approaches towards reducing false alarms and discusses the opportunities and risks. The work is currently unique.For the first time facts and trends on the false alarm issue of fire detection and fire alarm systems with a view of several European countries are presented and made available to an international audience. The study provides basics relevant to the fire safety industry concerned, but also to fire departments, associations, insurance companies, testing facilities, planners and installers, building operators and science.

    Anubis: Guardian Security Shadow World, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
    In the Shadow World, he was the god of death, and he was called many names. The monsters he hunted called him Anubis. Those who saw his face died. To Guardian Security, he was a number - a surgical weapon they wielded against monstrous evil.One woman called him Kaeden Lang. Anubis never meant her to be anything except an interlude - a moment of light in the darkness of his life, a one-time escape from the ever-present haze of death.

She'd already lost the man she loved; she couldn't lose her daughter.Other eyes noticed Sky’s search. Abruptly recalled and informed of the existence of his daughter and her illness, Anubis slipped through the shadows to help Sky, but found death threatened more than his daughter.

    History Bytes: 37 People, Places, and Events that Shaped American History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
    The truth is that much of what we learn about history is a series of little white lies that over time have grown into tall tales. George Washington didn't really walk around with a mouthful of wooden teeth. Those are real teeth and pearl inlays in Washington's dentures. A recent study by Mary Thompson suggests Washington experimented with early dental transplants. He purchased replacement teeth from his slaves for 13 shillings (roughly $50 in 2015 money). Another truth every schoolchild learns early on is Paul Revere was a great hero of the revolution and saved the day by alerting the minutemen at Lexington and Concord that the British were coming. It's true. Paul Revere made a midnight ride, and he spread the news about the British advance on Lexington and Concord, but the fact is Revere never completed his ride. And here's another fact hardly anyone knows. Revere wasn't the only one to make that ride. A second rider, William Dawes, set out by land at the same time Revere rowed across the bay to Charlestown. And one of the biggest hoaxes ever played on Americans occurred during the 1930s and early 1940s. FDR had polio and could barely walk, yet during his presidency most Americans had no idea the president was crippled. American history is full of strange paradoxes, and that's one of the things that make it so interesting. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John McBride.

The last thing their city needs is more death, especially not a death that bears the eerie signature of an insane enemy archangel who cannot - should not - be walking the streets. This hunt must be undertaken with stealth and without alerting their people. It must be handled by those who can become shadows themselves.... Ash is a gifted tracker and a woman cursed with the ability to sense the secrets of anyone she touches. But there's one man she knows all too well without a single instant of skin contact: Janvier, the dangerously sexy Cajun vampire who has fascinated and infuriated her for years. Now, as they track down a merciless killer, their cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and provocation has turned into a profound one of the heart. And this time it is Ash's secret, dark and terrible, which threatens to destroy them both. Nalini Singh, the New York Times best-selling 'alpha author of paranormal romance' (Booklist), returns to her stunning world as it braces itself for destruction. Read by Justine Eyre. ungekürzt.

Only to have it all come crashing down because someone can’t get her story straight. Lucy is about to learn the true power of money. Namely, how it ruins everyone it touches.  ungekürzt.

    Drug Wars: The Terrifying Inside Story of Britain’s Drug Trade , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 708min
    Random House presents the audiobook edition of Drug Wars by Neil Woods and J S Rafaeli, read by Neil Woods. To know the true story behind a war, ask the people who fought it. 'An observation van is running surveillance on a high-level Bradford gangster. Suddenly the van is surrounded by men in balaclavas and tied shut. Out comes the can of petrol. It is set alight, and the two cops inside barely escape with their lives. This incident is never reported. The gangsters clearly have informants inside the police, and alerting the public would undermine the force. Everyone shrugs it off - with so much money in the drugs game, corruption is part and parcel of the whole deal.'From the best-selling author of Good Cop Bad War, Neil Woods, comes the first inside history of Britain’s war on drugs told by those who were there.Calling upon the gripping firsthand accounts from those on both sides of the battle - the cops and the gangsters - as well as Neil Woods' experiences as an undercover drugs detective, Drug Wars will build a complex, authentic and terrifying picture of the reality of the drug war in Britain. Beginning with the Misuse of Drugs Act in 1971, we watch decades of violence, racial tension, organised crime and a monumental increase in addiction unfold. We see the birth of rave music and dance culture and yet even more tabloid hysteria. And throughout, we look at the huge numbers of civilians that have fallen victim to Britain’s war on drugs. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neil Woods.

    The Epiphany Machine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 749min
    Everyone else knows the truth about you. Now you can know it, too. That's the slogan. The product: a junky contraption that tattoos personalized revelations on its users' forearms. It's an old con, playing on the fear that we are obvious to everybody except ourselves. This particular one's been circulating New York since the 1960s. The ad works. And, oddly enough, so might the device.... A small stream of city dwellers buy into this cult of the epiphany machine, including Venter Lowood's parents. This stigma follows them when they move upstate, where Venter can't avoid the whispers of teachers and neighbors any more than he can ignore the machine's accurate predictions: his mother's abandonment and his father's disinterest. So when Venter's grandmother finally asks him to confront the epiphany machine and inoculate himself against his family's mistakes, he's only too happy to oblige. Like his parents before him, Venter is quick to fall under the spell of the device's sweat-stained, profane, and surprisingly charming operator, Adam Lyons. But unlike them, Venter gets close enough to Adam to learn a dark secret. There's an undeniable pattern between specific epiphanies and violent crimes. And Adam won't jeopardize the privacy of his customers by alerting the police. It may be a hoax, but that doesn't mean what Adam is selling isn't also spot-on. And in this sprawling, snarling tragicomedy about accountability in contemporary America, the greater danger is that Adam Lyons' apparatus may just be right about us all. ungekürzt.
