    A Lady of Quality, Hörbuch, Digital, 572min
    A Lady of Quality (1897) is a historical novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.Excerpt from the book: "On a wintry morning at the close of 1690, the sun shining faint and red through a light fog, there was a great noise of baying dogs, loud voices, and trampling of horses in the courtyard at Wildairs Hall; Sir Jeoffry being about to go forth a-hunting, and being a man with a choleric temper and big, loud voice, and given to oaths and noise even when in good-humour, his riding forth with his friends at any time was attended with boisterous commotion. This morning it was more so than usual, for he had guests with him who had come to his house the day before, and had supped late and drunk deeply, whereby the day found them, some with headaches, some with a nausea at their stomachs, and some only in an evil humour which made them curse at their horses when they were restless, and break into loud surly laughs when a coarse joke was made. There were many such jokes..." Language: English. Narrator: Helen Smith. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/edel/009864/bk_edel_009864_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Occipital Circus: And Other Stories Regarding Phrenology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
    A truly eclectic, psychological horror story collection, in which the true monsters are those that skulk about the darkest wrinkles and fissures of the human brain...Decades ago, the sciences of the brain were in their infancy. One such science was phrenology. Phrenology concerned the study of the skull to deduce the qualities of the brain, and thus the aptitudes of the person themselves. It seems silly today, but it laid the foundation for later work, including the discipline of modern nanoscience and embodied cognition.Listening to triggers neural responses in the brain that mimic the stimuli of actual activities. Will you subject yourself to the cerebral storm? Leaving your mind awash in the shadows and phantoms of reality, flickering electrical impulses to tease your senses as you make your way down a dark and winding path into the mire of cerebral horror.You’ll find no ghosts here. No pale, cold vampires with fetid breath. No werewolves baying at the moon. Only the tangling cobwebs and mildewed, dusty chambers of the one place mankind may never truly understand. Our own minds. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Norman Beck. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/229254/bk_acx0_229254_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Murder at Dead Crags: Detective Inspector Skelgill Investigates Series, Book 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
    A stand-alone murder mystery, number 10 in the series. Meet maverick British detective DL Skelgill... "Mad, bad and just a little bit cozy."   A blood-curdling howl haunts moonlit Skiddaw Forest - its source the precipitous cliffs known as Dead Crags. Locals evoke the legend of the Black Dog, harbinger of misfortune, devil’s familiar - an ancient myth revived in living memory by the unexplained death of Piet Crow, controversial founder of a local zoo.   If the curse blighted Old Man Crow, could it now be visited upon his descendants? Granddaughter Antonia is found dead beneath the crags. Her twin Vivienne survives a life-threatening ordeal. Murder? Attempted murder? Or innocent coincidence? Skelgill is torn - until a long-serving zoo hand falls victim to a rifle bullet.   Unearthly baying hound there may be, it takes a finger to pull a trigger - and human predators circle the ailing zoo and its valuable land. A property tycoon with bulldozers at the ready. A titled aristocrat who covets ancestral hunting grounds. Volatile animal rights activists that protest malpractice.   Dark clouds gather above the isolated Northern Fells - some great storm is brewing - but to divine its nature defies all logical investigation. Skelgill is drawn inexorably to Dead Crags - where presentiment prickles at his skin. But will his legendary intuition read the signs before the curse makes its final destructive strike?  ungekürzt.

    In Darujhistan, the city of blue blue fire, it is said that Love and Death shall arrive dancing. It is summer, and the heat is oppressive, but for the small, rotund man in the faded red waistcoat discomfiture is not just because of the sun. All is not well.

Hidden hands pluck the strings of tyranny like a fell chorus.

It seems Love and Death are indeed about to arrive...hand in hand, dancing. A thrilling, harrowing novel of war, intrigue, and dark, uncontrollable magic, Toll the Hounds is the next chapter in Erikson's monumental series - epic fantasy at its most imaginative and storytelling at its most exciting.

    An Officer and a Spy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 964min
    They lied to protect their country. He told the truth to save it. A gripping historical thriller from the bestselling author of Fatherland. January 1895. On a freezing morning in the heart of Paris, an army officer, Georges Picquart, witnesses a convicted spy, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, being publicly humiliated in front of twenty thousand spectators baying ‘Death to the Jew!’ The officer is rewarded with promotion: Picquart is made the French army’s youngest colonel and put in command of ‘the Statistical Section’ - the shadowy intelligence unit that tracked down Dreyfus. The spy, meanwhile, is given a punishment of medieval cruelty: Dreyfus is shipped off to a lifetime of solitary confinement on Devil’s Island - unable to speak to anyone, not even his guards, his case seems closed forever. But gradually Picquart comes to believe there is something rotten at the heart of the Statistical Section. When he discovers another German spy operating on French soil, his superiors are oddly reluctant to pursue it. Despite official warnings, Picquart persists, and soon the officer and the spy are in the same predicament... Narrated by Picquart, An Officer and a Spy is a compelling recreation of a scandal that became the most famous miscarriage of justice in history. Compelling, too, are the echoes for our modern world: an intelligence agency gone rogue, justice corrupted in the name of national security, a newspaper witch hunt of a persecuted minority, and the age-old instinct of those in power to cover-up their crimes. ungekürzt.
