    The Case of the Heavenly Twin (eBook, ePUB)
    He said he was deeply shocked to hear of Mr. Staffer's murder.I rather doubted it.Ludovic Travers had never come across a more ingenious fraud-three of them, in fact. All were perpetrated in only twenty-four hours. One was in Liverpool, the second and third in Southampton and London. The same two people posing as an American married couple, had purchased a diamond ring at each of three jewellery stores, paying for all three with beautifully forged traveller's cheques-to the tune of about two thousand pounds. The thieves had then done a highly successful vanishing act.Shortly after Ludovic Travers is called in on the case, he is diverted from it by the search for a missing heir, one of the twin grandsons of an old friend. The twin on the scene-the Heavenly Twin, Travers calls him-is apparently doing very well. The other has definitely gone wrong, and has also disappeared.On the missing twin's trail, Travers encounters yet another diversion: a jewel robbery in a country house in Hampshire. And then two more forged cheques turn up. Are they red herrings-or pieces of the same puzzle?The Case of the Heavenly Twin was originally published in 1963. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans."Mr. Travers ought to be knighted for his easy devotion to the formal tale of detection, woven with humorous deliberation. His knitting needles keep on clicking sharply." New York Herald Tribune

    Moments to Remember: Family Reunion: In the Wisdom of the Ancestors Series, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
    When the tall, tan, tantalizing Texan strode into her brother’s business office with his bodyguards like he owned the joint, Kelley Baylor didn’t know him from a can of paint. Wearing a black Stetson and cowboy boots complete with spurs, he cast his obsidian gaze on her like she was on the menu of his favorite five-star restaurant.At nearly 40, she instinctively knew men like him came packaged with a capitol “D” for Dangerous. Still, she would do anything for her younger brother and fight by his side to save Baylor Construction no matter what it took. Jake Hawkins, notorious corporate raider and multibillionaire head of BlackHawk Global, hadn't decided whether he would start a hostile takeover of the Baylor Construction Company or save it from others who were plotting something far worse. His daughter’s and grandsons’ happiness were at risk in this high-stakes game of corporate raiding. Yet, it only took one look at the brown-eyed beauty Kelley Baylor to seal the deal for him. He wanted her, and the costs be damned to have her. She led him on a merry chase, but he was biding his time, letting her have her head until she ran out of real estate to run. Then he would have the woman and her brother’s company in his stable - lock, stock, and barrel. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Dennis Johnson.

    Pope Francis: The Religious Anti-Christ and the Roman Catholic Church in the Last Days , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
    In the book of Revelation, the Apostle John wrote about a great religious system and organization that would be present and influential during the so-called Seven Years Tribulation Period, in which the Anti-Christ will be revealed and reign supreme. With his own divinely inspired words, he described this religion as, "mystery Babylon the great," and, judging by his statement, it's interesting that this mystical religion can be traced all the way back to the times recorded in the book of Genesis. Let's read first what John says in Revelations 17:5: "And upon her forehead was a name written, mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the Earth." Considering the context of this verse, you'll see how John wonders in amazement about the identity of this mystical religion. Take note how he calls it, "the mother of harlots", but at the same time it is "Babylon the great", which is characterized by the description, "abominations of the Earth". Now, of course, the obvious question gleaned from this verse is: how did this "mystery Babylon" become "abominations of the Earth" when, in fact, it was called "great"? In what sense did it became "great" while being "abominations"? Well, to answer this, we must go back to its roots in the book of Genesis, chapters 10 and 11, where we will encounter one of Noah's great grandsons, Nimrod, who lived some 200 or 300 years after the Great Flood. ungekürzt.

    The Dovekeepers: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1141min
    Over five years in the writing, Alice Hoffman’s most ambitious and mesmerizing work ever, a triumph of imagination and research set in ancient Israel. The author of such iconic bestsellers as Illumination Night, Practical Magic, Fortune’s Daughter, and Oprah’s Book Club selection Here on Earth, Alice Hoffman is one of the most popular and memorable writers of her generation. Now, in The Dovekeepers, Hoffman delivers her most masterful work yet - one that draws on her passion for mythology, magic, and archaeology and her inimitable understanding of women. In 70 C.D., nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on a mountain in the Judean desert, Masada. According to the ancient historian Josephus, two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic historical event, Hoffman weaves a spellbinding tale of four extraordinary, bold, resourceful, and sensuous women, each of whom comes to Masada by a different path. Yael’s mother died in childbirth, and her father never forgave her for that death. Revka, a village baker’s wife, watched the horrifically brutal murder of her daughter by Roman soldiers; she brings to Masada her twin grandsons, rendered mute by their own witness. Aziza is a warrior’s daughter, raised as a boy, a fearless rider and expert marksman, who finds passion with another soldier. Shirah is wise in the ways of ancient magic and medicine, a woman with uncanny insight and power. The lives of these four complex and fiercely independent women intersect in the desperate days of the siege, as the Romans draw near. All are dovekeepers, and all are also keeping secrets - about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and whom they love. This novel is Alice Hoffman’s masterpiece. ungekürzt.

    The Yellowwood Tree , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
    In 1918, World War One and the Spanish Flu left unimaginable numbers of orphaned children. In every corner of the planet, one person in 20 perished. Emma Taylor is a 12-year-old girl living on a farm in Indiana. Her mother is taken by the flu, and her father dies in The Great War. Children left without their parents due to war or influenza do not fare well. They are most often thrown into orphanages, and their homes auctioned off at pennies on the dollar to a select group of buyers. Emma must keep secret that only children are living at Yellowwood Farm. Emma struggles to cope and care for her younger brother. When her neighbor falls ill, she takes in his twin grandsons. Their parents were killed by the flu, and they have nowhere to go. Emma cannot refuse him. He relieved her of the terrible burden of burying her mother. The following spring, two more children come to Yellowwood Farm. Emma hides a brother and sister who ran away from an orphan train to avoid being separated. In 1918, Indiana enacted a bone-dry law, prohibiting the possession of alcohol of any sort. When the state realized the enormous cost of enforcing the new law, Indiana’s Attorney General issued badges to Klan members. They were given powers to conduct investigations and make arrests. Accepting Holy Communion was punishable by law.This story is about six orphaned children struggling to stay together and run Yellowwood Farm in a time of war, pandemic, and the second coming of the Ku Klux Klan. Emma changes the world with relentless gentle nudges - punctuated by the rare shotgun blast. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cory Hance.
