    Kartik Mathur, the CBI agent, is out to investigate the apparently natural death of an IIT professor, Akhil Kumar, who died in his sleep due to a heart attack, which his boss and CBI director, Bhushan Kumar, claimed to be a murder. The twist in the tale, The Secretive Six, comes when an uncooked theory of Bhushan Kumar's becomes a reality. Did Akhil Kumar actually die of a heart attack, or was he murdered? Connecting the link that started six years earlier and solving the case further along with his very capable team, Kartik comes across very disturbing facts. Who is the killer? What is the reason behind the well-planned murder? Will there be more murders to come? The story takes you on a three-day roller-coaster ride that is most heartrending. It throws light on the evils that our society faces today. The end is astonishing and will leave you speechless. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristy Lynn Miller.

    The Girl I Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min
    “Every girl has a guy that she won't stop loving, and every guy has a girl that he won't stop fighting for.” Myra loves Kairav, and she does not even remember since when! Not just his best friend, she is also his partner in a successful dream start-up. Kairav has broken up again and turns to Myra for relief. His broken heart needs the tender love of a friend to mend. While Myra has loved him forever, Kairav cannot seem to see her more than a best friend. Time is running out, and she needs to take control of her life before it's too late. And it's not like she does not have choices - there is Akhil, who would commit to her the moment she says yes; and Ratan, who would like to woo her to the altar. Except that Kairav objects to her admirers, much to her annoyance. She has always been around, and the thought of losing her scares him no end. Can Myra break out of her going-nowhere relationship with Kairav? Will she let her mind win over her heart? Will Kairav ever figure out a relationship beyond his no-commitment status, to discover the girl he loves? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tavish Bhattacharyya.

    Family Life: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 345min
    Hailed as a "supreme storyteller" (Philadelphia Inquirer) for his "cunning, dismaying and beautifully conceived" fiction (New York Times), Akhil Sharma is possessed of a narrative voice "as hypnotic as those found in the pages of Dostoyevsky" (The Nation). In his highly anticipated second novel, Family Life, he delivers a story of astonishing intensity and emotional precision. We meet the Mishra family in Delhi in 1978, where eight-year-old Ajay and his older brother Birju play cricket in the streets, waiting for the day when their plane tickets will arrive and they and their mother can fly across the world and join their father in America. America to the Mishras is, indeed, everything they could have imagined and more: When automatic glass doors open before them, they feel that surely they must have been mistaken for somebody important. Pressing an elevator button and the elevator closing its doors and rising, they have a feeling of power at the fact that the elevator is obeying them. Life is extraordinary until tragedy strikes, leaving one brother severely brain-damaged and the other lost and virtually orphaned in a strange land. Ajay, the family’s younger son, prays to a God he envisions as Superman, longing to find his place amid the ruins of his family’s new life. Heart-wrenching and darkly funny, Family Life is a universal story of a boy torn between duty and his own survival. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vikas Adam.

    The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 908min
    A winning, irreverent debut novel about a family wrestling with its future and its past - for listeners of J. Courtney Sullivan, Meg Wolitzer, Mona Simpson, and Jhumpa LahiriNamed one of the best books of the year by The Boston Globe, Kirkus Reviews, Bustle, and Emily Gould, The Millions  With depth, heart, and agility, debut novelist Mira Jacob takes us on a deftly plotted journey that ranges from 1970s India to suburban 1980s New Mexico to Seattle during the dot.com boom. The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing is an epic, irreverent testimony to the bonds of love, the pull of hope, and the power of making peace with life's uncertainties. Celebrated brain surgeon Thomas Eapen has been sitting on his porch, talking to dead relatives. At least that is the story his wife, Kamala, prone to exaggeration, tells their daughter, Amina, a photographer living in Seattle. Reluctantly, Amina returns home and finds a situation that is far more complicated than her mother let on, with roots in a trip the family, including Amina's rebellious brother Akhil, took to India 20 years earlier. Confronted by Thomas' unwillingness to explain himself, strange looks from the hospital staff, and a series of puzzling items buried in her mother's garden, Amina soon realizes that the only way she can help her father is by coming to terms with her family's painful past. In doing so, she must reckon with the ghosts that haunt all of the Eapens.Praise for The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing“With wit and a rich understanding of human foibles, Jacob unspools a story that will touch your heart.” (People)“Optimistic, unpretentious and refreshingly witty.” (Associated Press)“By turns hilarious and tender and always attuned to shifts of emotion... [Jacob’s] characters shimmer with life. ”(Entertainment Weekly)“A rich, engross ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mira Jacob.

    The Militia and the Right to Arms: How the Second Amendment Fell Silent, Constitutional Conflicts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
    In The Militia and the Right to Arms, or, How the Second Amendment Fell Silent, Uviller and Merkel show how postratification history has sapped the Second Amendment of its meaning. Starting with a detailed examination of the political principles of the founders, the authors build the case that the amendment's second clause (declaring the right to bear arms) depends entirely on the premise set out in the amendment's first clause (stating that a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state). The authors demonstrate that the militia envisioned by the framers of the Bill of Rights in 1789 has long since disappeared from the American scene, leaving no lineal descendants. The constitutional right to bear arms, Uviller and Merkel conclude, has evaporated along with the universal militia of the eighteenth century. Using records from the founding era, Uviller and Merkel explain that the Second Amendment was motivated by a deep fear of standing armies. To guard against the debilitating effects of militarism, and against the ultimate danger of a would-be Caesar at the head of a great professional army, the founders sought to guarantee the existence of well-trained, self-armed, locally commanded citizen militia, in which service was compulsory. By its very existence, this militia would obviate the need for a large and dangerous regular army. But as Uviller and Merkel describe the gradual rise of the United States Army and the National Guard over the last two hundred years, they highlight the nation's abandonment of the militia ideal so dear to the framers. The authors discuss issues of constitutional interpretation in light of radically changed social circumstances and contrast their position with the arguments of a diverse group of constitutional scholars including Sanford Levinson, Carl Bogus, William Van Alstyne, and Akhil Reed Amar. ungekürzt.
