Running with the Train : Spooky Short Stories, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
Sarah has been lonely most of her life. She’s been searching for a love that she’s begun to believe will never come. Her family and friends at home depend on her, need her, but they can’t give her what she really wants, which is true, eternal love, like the wolves have. Desperate to try something new and get away, she becomes a solitary traveler and goes on an adventure of a lifetime to the Grand Canyon; rides the train from Williams to the South Rim; and sees huge wolves running alongside. Unbelievably, she sees them below in the evening twilight scurrying on the Canyon’s ledges among the trees. She’s told there are no more wolves in the region, but she hears their haunting cries. No one else sees them and no one else hears them. It is just her. Have her senses left her? Has her loneliness made her crazy? For there are wolves, unearthly prowling creatures that follow and achingly call to her, and in the end, she must decide what she will do when she finally comes face to face with one. ungekürzt.

The Big Sleep , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe is working for the Sternwood family. Old man Sternwood, crippled and wheelchair-bound, is being given the squeeze by a blackmailer and he wants Marlowe to make the problem go away. But with Sternwood's two wild, devil-may-care daughters prowling LA's seedy backstreets, Marlowe's got his work cut out - and that's before he stumbles over the first corpse. Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago in 1888 and moved to England with his family when he was 12. He attended Dulwich College, Alma Mater to some of the 20th century’s most renowned writers. Returning to America in 1912, he settled in California, worked in a number of jobs, and later married. It was during the Depression era that he seriously turned his hand to writing and his first published story appeared in the pulp magazine Black Mask in 1933, followed six years later by his first novel. The Big Sleep introduced the world to Philip Marlowe, the often imitated but never-bettered hard-boiled private investigator. It is in Marlowe’s long shadow that every fictional detective must stand – and under the influence of Raymond Chandler’s addictive prose that every crime author must write. ungekürzt.

Death's Angel: Detective Al Warner Suspense Novels, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
The second serial killer in less than a year is prowling the streets of Miami, systematically killing off some of South Florida's most beautiful young women. Detective Al Warner is just back on the job, fully recovered from a bullet wound that cracked his skull during a deadly chance encounter with another madman. Due to rigorous physical therapy, Warner is in the best shape of his life, but his days are laced with headaches and his sleep fraught with terrifying dreams. Lack of rest clouds his usually laser-sharp mind, but doesn't slow his single-minded hunt for this new killer. Warner and the FBI's BAU become more frustrated as each new death provides plenty of evidence it's the same killer, but no new clues to his identity. They learn the killer's name, Angie Dedios, and eventually realizes it's really "Angel de Dios"...the Angel of God...but they are helpless as more beauties die with no new leads as to this deadly "angel's" real identity. Then Warner's love, Sharon Clark, becomes a target for this madman, and Warner must stop him before she is his eighth victim. Only chance again brings them all together in one final deadly dance of terror. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathan Weiland.

Matchmaker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
Thirty men. One woman. I know how it sounds...dirty. Except it’s just the premise for a new reality show, Matchmaker, where I’m supposed to find love on TV. Thirty sexy eligible bachelors are competing for my hand, trying to prove their love for me in front of millions of people. I know most are fake and only here to advance their careers, but there are two who draw me to them like a moth to a flame. One is blond and blue-eyed, with a chiseled body and a prowling natural grace. While he might seem a little rough around the edges, with me, he’s kind and genuine. The other is passionate, driven, and totally focused on me - everything a woman could want. I feel so torn. Do I choose the one I’m falling in love with, or can I be happy settling for the safe bet? That should be an easy question. If I were a bystander sitting at home, I know what my answer would be. But I’m scared. He could destroy me, burn me to ash with his fire. And if I’m wrong about him, I don’t know if I’ll ever recover.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lance Greenfield, Carly Robins.

Man Enough: A Single Dad Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 516min
He's damaged goods. Sure chaos. Mr. Impossible. So why am I risking it all for one more kiss? I never knew what hit me. Rex stormed into my little world with two adorable twin boys and no apologies. Bearish. Short-fused. Consuming. Huge. Torturously gorgeous. Leave-your-heart-in-pieces wrong. Did I mention HUGE? He's instant trouble the second he checks into our lodge and my overprotective grandpa hires him. Then I catch him staring with that knowing ache in his eyes. I forget what trouble even means. He also needs a nanny. Sold. My signature cupcakes aren't the sweetest thing in this small town anymore. Not when his cold shoulder thaws. Not when our nights unravel me. Not when every taste of him overrules the thousand reasons we shouldn't. But tarnished hearts and prowling kisses have limits. The closer we get, the harder he pulls away. Rex won't reveal why he's really here. I can't admit how bad I wish it didn't matter. Of course, the chilling truth always strikes. Without mercy. There's heartbreak written in our stars. Then there's the crazy part of me that believes he's man enough to stand, to fight, to stay. Crazy, I said. Or is it? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Summer Roberts, Stephen Dexter.

A Darker Sea: Master Commandant Putnam and the War of 1812 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 736min
The second installment of the gripping naval saga by award-winning historian James L. Haley, featuring Commander Bliven Putnam, chronicling the buildup to the biggest military conflict between the United States and Britain after the Revolution - the War of 1812. At the opening of the War of 1812, the British control the most powerful navy on earth, and Americans are again victims of piracy. Bliven Putnam, late of the Battle of Tripoli, is dispatched to Charleston to outfit and take command of a new 20-gun brig, the USS Tempest. Later, aboard the Constitution, he sails into the furious early fighting of the war. Prowling the South Atlantic in the Tempest, Bliven takes prizes and disrupts British merchant shipping until he is overhauled, overmatched, and disastrously defeated by the frigate HMS Java. Its captain proves to be Lord Arthur Kington, whom Bliven had so disastrously met in Naples. Onboard he also finds his old friend Sam Bandy, one of the Java's pressed American seamen kidnapped into British service. Their whispered plans to foment a mutiny among the captives may see them hang when the Constitution looms over the horizon for one of the most famous battles of the War of 1812 in a gripping, high-wire conclusion. With exquisite detail and guns-blazing action, The Tempest illuminates an unforgettable period in American history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Boehmer.
