    Lost City: An Eoin Miller Mystery, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    Being the resident troubleshooter for a big-time crime family has its perks — among them a posh flat and sex with the boss’s sister. But living the criminal high-life hasn’t made Eoin Miller fat and happy. He’s still the misfit half-Gypsy, ex-police detective, estranged husband and son who buries his physical and emotional wounds beneath painkillers and denial. But now his brilliant career in dirty work has taken a turn for the absolute worst. Covering up the killing of a porn peddler has gone seriously sideways, toppling Eoin into the tightest of spots: Between his beloved boss and a conspiracy rife with blackmail, murder, torture, and treachery. Before things get better, more people will get dead, and Eoin must outwit, or outrun, an underworld cartel, his former brothers in blue, and a chilling hit man who never breaks a sweat…even when he’s breaking bodies. ungekürzt.

As he navigates through different walks of life, he begins to uncover a conspiracy as to why his village was destroyed. Before he can put the pieces together, his fate is sealed by a terrible war. In the storm of chaos that follows, his actions turn him into a legendary hero. The more renowned he gets, the closer the source of evil is drawn to him. The more he fights for the truth, the more of an outlaw he becomes. In Book 1, a boy at the brink of adulthood travels beyond the ruins of an ancient elven city, to The Crown of The World in the far north. It is there where he meets his father for the first time, in search of the answers and reasons his mother refuses to discuss. At the risk of his life, he learns that finding the truth requires knowing The Tale of Onora. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joel Froomkin.

    CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF DAVE BRANDSTETTER Death claims investigator Dave Brandstetter navigates the opposing realms of evangelical Christianity and the porn business while tracking a lost girl in late 1970s Los Angeles. Lon Tooker certainly fits the profile: big, strong, a Marine Corps veteran, and recently the target of evangelical crusader Gerald Dawson's wrath. Tooker's adult toys and pornography store on the local skid row has recently become the target of Dawson's church men's group and their destructive masked raids on "un-Christian" businesses. When Dawson is strangled to death by someone of Tooker's size and ability, the police see a smut-peddler with a motive. Case closed. But death claims investigator Dave Brandstetter doesn't like it. By all accounts Tooker is a softy incapable of such a crime. Actual evidence is nonexistent and assumptions many. And Dave particularly doesn't care for assumptions based on someone's sex life. But Dave is also navigating new personal territory. His father's death has left him bereaved and for the first time in a long time without a job. Dave quit the insurance company his father built and has struck out on his own as a private investigator. Add in his breakup with his recent partner and he's a man unencumbered. It's the late 1970s and Dave may be aging a bit but he's still handsome, wealthy, and recently in possession of a new convertible Triumph. Looks like it's not all hard work.

    Ragtime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 467min
    Ragtime, a classic work of historical fiction first published in 1975, details the lives of three families in early 20th-century New York. The novel interweaves fictional characters with actual historic events and figures. The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the home of an affluent American family. One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. Almost magically, the line between fantasy and historical fact, between real and imaginary characters, disappears. Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, J. P. Morgan, Evelyn Nesbit, Sigmund Freud, and Emiliano Zapata slip in and out of the tale, crossing paths with Doctorow's imagined family and other fictional characters, including an immigrant peddler and a ragtime musician from Harlem whose insistence on a point of justice drives him to revolutionary violence. A rich tapestry, Ragtime captures the spirit of America in a unique historic context. Time magazine included the novel in its Time 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923-2005. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: E. L. Doctorow. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/eldo/000001/bk_eldo_000001_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Schistsong , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 221min
    An urban songline of New York. From the author of the memoir L Is for Lion comes a panegyric of the geology of Manhattan. These poems glitter. Manhattan schist is rendered as a template for the skyline and characters of New York. Grit and stardust collide in this debut collection of poetry and song. The book begins with the bright reflective quality of mica and ends with the gentrified vision of the city where "New York is nine million doors, and you have not one key". In between are stories of urban icons: iceman, fish peddler, heart butcher, meter maid, San Gennaro, the magic of grandmothers' hands, the vision of the oldest living tree in the city, immigrants who fell out windows and died in explosions, Italian phrases that link the essence of the sun to a rose and to a heart, crushed tomatoes, sunsets, supermarkets, the glory of hot tar, the lessons of marines and lesbians. You will learn about history and geology, Italian American heroes, and spiritual imperatives through the syllables of this one poet's soul. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Annie Rachele Lanzillotto. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/071409/bk_acx0_071409_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
