The Rip Off , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 692min
Chip Bannister ran the nation's largest real estate rip off from 1965 to 1974. He was the youngest of three boys; smooth, good looking and charming. An egomaniac, but, very smart, extremely cunning. He was an East Coast trust fund kid that attended USC, and then, with the help of his billionaire father, formed Bannister Financial in downtown Beverly Hills. Chip quickly discovered it was easier to simply raise new money, versus, executing the business plan. That was the beginning of a real estate Ponzi scheme that would eventually bankrupt the company and all the investors. One of Chip's college friends introduced him to Captain Donald D. Bowen, commanding officer, Point Mugu Naval Air Station, California. The military was his career; real estate was his business. Careful, discerning, smart and shrewd. It's easy to run a Ponzi scheme on a dummy, but, was it possible for Chip to pull it off on a guy like Captain Bowen who was meticulous and careful? The captain was naturally leery of Chip at first, but, ultimately they began doing some business over a one year period, 11 transactions total. And then the captain figured out the scam. By 1974, Chip knew the company was effectively bankrupt and hired a PR firm to blame the whole thing on his employees. The captain spent some time investigating and preparing; and then, he filed a lawsuit against Chip and Bannister Financial Inc. What Chip didn't know: he had messed with the wrong guy. The captain was the current leader of The Team, a mythic group of World War I veterans that included the captain's father. The Team would eventually do what the courts could not dispense real justice on playboy rip-off artist, Chip Bannister. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Wade.

The Unpossessed City: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 737min
Jim Vilatzer was going nowhere - working in his parents' restaurant, sleeping in his childhood bedroom - until he ran up gambling debts that forced him to go somewhere far away...fast. He uses his Russian-language skills (learned from his emigre grandparents) to cadge a job in Moscow finding and interviewing survivors of the Gulag. At first, he only finds that they are well hidden and leery of sharing their horrific stories, but he also discovers that he's falling in love with their homeland. He is intoxicated by Moscow's brooding, ironic atmosphere, its vast reservoir of entrepreneurial energy, its otherworldly churches and majestic subways. On any given day, petty indignities are more than offset by random acts of kindness.Jim's taste for gambling is satisfied merely by living in a city that teems with risk and promise.

Soon Jim is on a roll, scoring interviews with other survivors, learning harrowing and fascinating things about bygone atrocities and feeling like he has finally found where he belongs.But his apparent success has earned him the attention of Russia's Interior Ministry and CIA.

When a second serial killer emerges targeting men who are shot to death, Clawson and Hatcher must do double duty in their relentless pursuit of the clever unsubs. Complicating matters is the strong chemistry and an ensuing romance between the two investigators, who have both been burned in past relationships and are leery of involvement. Dawn Whelan is a beautiful psychologist who is stunned when a patient confesses to being part of a gang rape and murder of a teenager 20 years ago named Tessa Katie Crowley.

The Huguenots: The History and Legacy of the French Protestants and Their Religious Conflicts with the Catholics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
In the 16th century, corruption, debauchery, and the general perversion of ethics were running rampant within the Roman Catholic Church. The public began to grow leery of the crooked church, and soon, they could no longer bite their tongues. Among the church's most vocal opponents was Martin Luther, whose publication of the 95 Theses gave rise to the Protestant movement. This reformed brand of Christianity gradually spread throughout Europe, planting flags across the continent. France was among the first to latch onto the movement, and these new-wave Protestants became known as the "Huguenots". The exact origins of the Huguenot name is still disputed to this day, but most historians have agreed it is a French and German translation of the Swiss-German term, eidgenossen, meaning "oath-fellowship". The Huguenots mostly resided in the southern regions of France, along with the northern regions of Normandy and Picardy. They shared quite a few similarities with the Protestant Walloons, who lived in what is now Belgium, but the two groups were unique communities. Even so, both groups frequently convened to worship together as refugees. The Huguenots, whose belief system incorporated a blend of unorthodox Waldensian and Calvinist teachings, continued to bloom, which did not sit well with the authorities. Critics attributed the rise of Protestant-led riots to the no-good Huguenots. The Huguenots were known iconoclasts who rejected statues, paintings, idols, and other religious images, as often seen in the numerous statues and stained glass artwork in Catholic churches. Across Europe, rebellious Protestants seized Catholic churches and swiped all heretical images, destroying them with axes and hurling them into roaring bonfires. The string of ambushes included the 1562 Looting of the Churches in Lyon, which were followed by similar attacks in Zurich, Copenhagen, Geneva, and many more. Even in the face of persecution, the Huguenot influence gain ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/081957/bk_acx0_081957_sample.mp3.

Vampire Classmates: A Transylvanica High Short , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 148min
From R. Barri Flowers, the best-selling author of the Transylvanica High series, featuring young adult vampire novels, Count Dracula's Teenage Daughter and Out for Blood, comes the prequel audio short story Vampire Classmates. Seventeen-year-old Lydia Knight is about to start her senior year at Transylvanica High, one of several integrated pilot schools across the country where human and vampire students peacefully coexist. She is a bit leery about her cousin, Roland DuPree, 18, coming to live with her and her parents in Harbor Heights, Michigan, with his dark clothing and odd behavior. But since he is family, she has to tolerate him and even accept the fact that her best friend, Mandi, is attracted to her cousin. Roland DuPree isn't exactly thrilled to be leaving Owl's Bluff, Oregon, to spend his senior year at Transylvanica High. But he understands why. He has been forced to relocate. Unbeknownst to Lydia, Roland is a teen vampire who has bitten off more than he can chew in Owl's Bluff. Now he is trying to fit in with Lydia and friends in a new community. But following the rules has never been his strong suit - especially with a craving for fresh rather than powdered human blood and a potentially ripe-for-the-biting target in his cousin's attractive friend, Mandi. Will shaking up things in Harbor Heights expose Roland for who he truly is? Or can he keep his secret while trying to stay true to his heritage as the newest vamp resident in town? Included with this entertaining paranormal short are excerpts from the first book in the Transylvanica High Series, Count Dracula's Teenage Daughter, as well as from the author's best-selling young adult haunted house mystery, Teen Ghost at Dead Lake and teen time travel mystery Danger in Time. ungekürzt.
