My Summer of Southern Discomfort: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
Today is Monday. The calls do not come as before. Weeks elapse between them, and when I answer the phone there is no overlap of voices, only my mother's. She spends much of the conversation avoiding mention of the pink elephant trumpeting in the middle of the room. The pink elephant would be my defection to Georgia. When I telephoned with the news of my imminent relocation, my father asked, "Georgia as in the Republic of Georgia by the Black Sea, or Georgia as in the Peach State?" He hoped I meant the former, because that Georgia promised unique opportunities to advance the democratic cause of justice. What could Georgia, former land of the Confederacy, offer? Convicting arsonists and thieves in Macon, Georgia, was never Harvard Law grad Natalie Goldberg's dream. The pay is abysmal, the work is exhausting, and the humidity is hell for a woman with curly hair. But when a steamy romance with her high-powered New York boss went bad, Natalie jumped at the first job offered, packed her bags, and headed south. Natalie's leftist Yankee background brands her a conspicuous outsider in this insular community. Her father, a famous civil rights lawyer, refuses to accept her career change - or talk to her. Her best friend begs her to come back home, and Natalie keeps thinking she sees her former lover everywhere. But Natalie's not completely alone. There are a garden-obsessed neighbor, a former beauty queen turned defense attorney, and a handsome colleague who has a nervous tic whenever she gets near. And then there's a capital case that has her eating antacids by the truckload. Yep, it's going to be one heckuva long, hot summer.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Dretzin.

Secret Agent X #4 May, 1934 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
A master of evil came to the nation's capital. A green-masked ambassador from Hell's own legation, followed by a horrible horde, versed in the poison torments of the Far East! Even the police who sought to trap him, did not guess the ghastliness of his real motive. That remained for Secret Agent "X" to discover, as he prowled through a dark, and sinister labyrinth of Washington espionage. A nameless mystery man with a wartime past, backed by a shadowy group of powerful philanthropists, Secret Agent "X" took on the toughest assignments of the dirty thirties. Operating out of the half-haunted Montgomery Mansion, "X" was also known as the Man of a Thousand Faces. A past master of disguise, he infiltrated the Underworld to crush crime, in all of its hideous manifestations. For Secret Agent "X," Rose Wyn decided to pit him against villains who were maestros of unbridled horror. Melodrama was the rule of the day. But Secret Agent "X" plunged into maelstroms of raw bloodlust undreamed of by The Shadow and Doc Savage. His foes were truly depraved. Terrorists. Torturers. Kidnappers. Stranglers. Arsonists. These were the types of tabloid master criminals "X" hunted. In Ambassador of Doom, the enigmatic "X" travels to Washington, D.C., to investigate skullduggery in our nation's capital. There, he gets on the trail of the Green Mask, a murderous master of espionage, whose ultimate loyalties are impenetrable. Before the trail of treachery has been exhausted, Secret Agent "X" will have struggled through Malay torture rites and worse, in order to preserve America's deepest secrets from an implacable foreign foe. Ambassador of Doom was originally published in the May, 1934 Secret Agent "X" magazine and is read with chilling intensity by Milton Bagby. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milton Bagby.

The Body in the Bed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min
A suspenseful, gripping yarn. (The New York Times)It was just another busy day at the Plaza Royale - until a pretty hotel manicurist, white with terror, suddenly fled through the lobby and disappeared into the crowded Manhattan streets. Her unexplained flight, and the discovery of some bloodstained pillowslips, gave Gil Vine, the hotel's detective, the tipoff that trouble was brewing. Its source turned out to be the suite of a secretive South American mogul and his entourage including a beautiful señorita, a vicious monkey, a muscular valet, and an elusive character known as Miguel. When Gil investigated, he walked into one of the most explosive situations in his career. For the Latin was really an ousted dictator, loaded with stolen money and jewels, and with a host of assassins pledged to kill him! The Body in the Bed is one of the most exciting of the classic 1950s Gil Vine mystery novels. "Plenty of action . . . never fails to be interesting." (San Francisco Chronicle) Stewart Sterling is credited by leading reviewers with having been one of the originators of the "specialized" or modus operandi school of detective story writers as opposed to the private investigator who has no background in any particular field of criminal activity. His Special Squad stories in Black Mask were the first to make use of inside techniques as used by the Loft Squad, the Bomb and Forgery Squad, the Criminal Identification Bureau, and the Stolen Property Bureau of the New York Police Department. His Fire Marshal Pedley stories were acclaimed by Thomas Brophy, New York City's most celebrated Fire Marshal, as being true to the modern methods employed in the detection of arsonists. His hotel detective tales, with Gil Vine as Chief Security Officer of a swank Fifth Avenue hotel, have been published in many foreign countries - and Sterling received letters from all over the world, with the Oliver Twist request for "more. ungekürzt.

Plenty Ladylike: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 463min
Claire McCaskill reads her unapologetic memoir of how she went from Missouri mom to become the state's first female senator by embracing her ambition, surviving sexists' slings, outsmarting her enemies, and finding joy along the way. Claire McCaskill grew up in a political family but not at a time that welcomed women with big plans. She earned a law degree and paid her way through school by working as a waitress. By 1982 Claire had set her sights on the Missouri House of Representatives. Typically, one voter whose door she knocked on said: "You're too young; your hair is too long; you're a girl.... Go find yourself a husband." That door was slammed in her face, but Claire always kept pushing - first as a prosecutor of arsonists and rapists and then all the way to the door of a cabal of Missouri politicians that had secret meetings to block her legislation. In this candid, lively, and forthright memoir, Senator McCaskill describes her uphill battle to become who she is today, from her failed first marriage to a Kansas City car dealer - the father of her three children - to her current relationship with a Missouri businessman, whom she describes as "a life partner". She reveals every aspect of her ups and downs with Bill and Hillary Clinton and her decision to endorse Barack Obama's candidacy. It was her daughter, Maddie, who put Claire on the spot at a time when Claire wasn't sure what to do. From the day she was elected homecoming queen in high school to her long-shot reelection as senator after secretly helping to nominate a right-wing extremist as her opponent, Claire has loved politics and winning. Her memoir is unconventional: unsparing in its honesty, full of sharp humor and practical wisdom, and rousing in its defense of female ambition. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Secret Agent X #3 April, 1934 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min
Death hurled a ghastly challenge at Secret Agent "X." A torch of terror burned above Doom's table where they played. And charred, unsightly corpses were the jackstraws dealt him by the grim gamester's boney hand. A nameless mystery man with a wartime past, backed by a shadowy group of powerful philanthropists, Secret Agent "X" took on the toughest assignments of the dirty thirties. Operating out of the half-haunted Montgomery Mansion, "X" was also known as the Man of a Thousand Faces. A past master of disguise, he infiltrated the Underworld to crush crime in all of its hideous manifestations. No one knew who Secret Agent "X "really was. Not his readers. Not his editors. Not even his writer, conceivably. To this day, 80 years later, his true identity is still a deep mystery. That's keeping a secret! For Secret Agent "X", it was decreed that he would pit himself against villains who were maestros of unbridled horror. Melodrama was the rule of the day. But the unknown "X" plunged into maelstroms of raw bloodlust, undreamed of by The Shadow and Doc Savage. His foes were truly depraved. Terrorists. Torturers. Kidnappers. Stranglers. Arsonists. These were the types of tabloid master criminals our nameless hero hunted. Writer Paul Chadwick communicated the essence of the new series with the horrific titles of his novels. The Death-Torch Terror stands out as an early example of the fearful proceedings. In this thrilling tale, a series of bank robberies are marked by a trail of incinerated corpses. What sinister weapon has been fielded that reduces living flesh and bone to charred husks? When New York's police commissioner is abducted by the murderous gang, the Man of Mystery and Destiny dons his warpaint, and takes up the trail. But will the fires of doom engulf "X", too? The Death-Torch Terror first appeared in Secret Agent "X" magazine, April, 1934 and is read in fearful intonations by Milton Bagb ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milton Bagby.
