Sasha and Connelly are back in Improper Influence. Even Sasha's most daunting cases to date haven't prepared her for her current challenge: Finding a wedding reception venue that her mother and Connelly can agree on. Wedding planning woes become the least of her worries, though, when Bodhi King, a forensic pathologist for the City of Pittsburgh, comes to her for help. Young women across the city are dying, and he suspects their deaths are connected. After he voices his suspicions, he becomes a target. Bodhi needs Sasha and Connelly's assistance to unearth the truth before it's buried along with more victims - and him, if whoever's trying to silence him succeeds. The trail is long and dirty, leading to political influence peddlers, backroom deals, and the biggest law firm in town.

In the Shadow of Billy the Kid: Susan McSween and the Lincoln County War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 728min
The events of July 19, 1878, marked the beginning of what became known as the Lincoln County War and catapulted Susan McSween and a young cowboy named Henry McCarty, alias Billy the Kid, into the history books. The so-called war, a fight for control of the mercantile economy of southeastern New Mexico, is one of the most documented conflicts in the history of the American West, but it is an event that up to now has been interpreted through the eyes of men. As a woman in a man's story, Susan McSween has been all but ignored. This is the first book to place her in a larger context. Clearly, the Lincoln County War was not her finest hour, just her best known. For decades afterward, she ran a successful cattle ranch. She watched New Mexico modernize and become a state. And she lived to tell the tales of the anarchistic territorial period many times. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen Commins.

Elizabeth Montgomery wishes to honor her grandfather’s memory by moving back to her hometown of Quinton, Georgia, to take care of her grandmother and to remodel their family home.

Jackson Dean moves to Georgia to reignite his family relations, but his work poses a threat to a peaceful transition. He accepts the job on Montgomery House to prove his skills as a contractor, but what he is not expecting are his feelings towards the granddaughter of Sissy Montgomery, and his personal quest to mend more than just the house.

Supercell , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min
They'll pay him a fortune to find a killer tornado for their movie. He knows the risks all too well, but he never imagined just how dangerous the perfect storm could be. Chuck Rittenburg was one of the most intrepid storm chasers in the country until a bad decision resulted in the death of a young couple who'd paid to ride along. A decade later - broke, divorced, and estranged from his college-age children - he's got nothing left to lose. When a film producer offers Chuck one million dollars to help find and photograph a deadly tornado in Oklahoma, Chuck sees a chance to earn his kids' respect again-and maybe his own. The situation quickly becomes about more than tracking a monster tornado for Hollywood. FBI Agent Gabi Medeiros insists on riding along. A burglary ring is targeting tornado-ravaged neighborhoods, and their tactics now include murder. With the stage set for a major heist, a deadly supercell, and a confrontation between Man and Nature on an epic scale, Chuck and his crew will be lucky to escape in one piece. ungekürzt.

Bluewater Walkabout: Into Africa: Finding Healing Through Travel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 592min
Bluewater Walkabout: Into Africa is a memoir about an adventure in the wild bush of Africa and a family sailing journey. But when her sons bring along two friends who upset the family balance, rogue waves and great white sharks threaten the family's safety. Tina begins to deal with a mysterious health problem, and the perils of life at sea become very real. The book begins with an outlandish safari through Africa, during which Tina reflects on the challenges that a life lived differently can bring. Half running from an early adulthood fraught with sexual trauma, and half running towards a dream, Tina met her husband and the two of them decided to live a life at sea. This story is candid, moving, heartfelt, and beautifully written. What sets it aside from other sailing memoirs is that it is about so much more than the journey. Tina writes about topics such as mental illness, sexual assault, the loss of a child, and the challenges of motherhood. These are naturally woven into the narrative, creating a layer of complexity and strength, making it enjoyable to those who have been to sea and those who have not. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Trial of Susan B. Anthony , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
Nineteenth-century reformer Susan B. Anthony advocated for many causes, including limitations on alcohol access and abolition of slavery. However, she is best known for her tireless efforts as a suffragist seeking equal and civil rights for women. In November 1872, Anthony and 14 other women were arrested in Rochester, NY, for illegally voting in the United States election. The only reason their votes were deemed illegal was because they were women. This concise, historical account follows Anthony from her registration to vote through her trial. Anthony's famous speech "Is it a Crime for a US Citizen to Vote?" is included. As the country approaches the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits states from denying or abridging the right to vote on the basis of gender, the case of United States v. Susan B. Anthony remains a significant milestone in the quest for gender equality. Ann D. Gordon is research professor emeritus in the department of history and editor of the papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony at Rutgers University. She wrote The Trial of Susan B. Anthony for the Federal Judicial Center. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karen Commins. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/001313/bk_mike_001313_sample.mp3.
