    The Mary Celeste , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
    On 5th December 1872, Captain David Reed Morehouse sighted the Mary Celeste, an American half-brig carrying 1,700 barrels of commercial alcohol, apparently calling for help. The fluttering he took to be a distress signal was a ripped, tattered sail; the wheel was unmanned; the master, Captain Briggs; his wife; their two-year-old daughter; and the entire crew had disappeared. Frederick Solly Flood, attorney general of Gibraltar, can see only one possible cause - mutiny and murder. In a tense courtroom, he is determined to prove a dreadful crime has been committed; turning a civil inquiry into a criminal prosecution and allowing stains on the deck - which he knows to be rust - to be passed off as blood. Two compelling narratives are interwoven: As Flood forces the evidence and badgers the witnesses, the voyage itself is brought vividly back to life. But there remains one simple, known fact. Its repercussions have been overlooked by history, but they at last point to the true fate of those aboard the Mary Celeste.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Antony Ferguson.

    Wilkie Collins: A Brief Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 418min
    A gripping, short biography of the extraordinary Wilkie Collins, author of The Moonstone and The Woman in White, two early masterpieces of mystery and detection. Short and oddly built, with a head too big for his body, extremely near-sighted, unable to stay still, dressed in colorful clothes - Wilkie Collins looked distinctly strange. But he was nonetheless a charmer, befriended by the great, loved by children, irresistibly attractive to women, and avidly read by generations of readers. Peter Ackroyd follows his hero, "the sweetest-tempered of all the Victorian novelists", from his childhood as the son of a well-known artist to his struggling beginnings as a writer, his years of fame, and his lifelong friendship with the other great London chronicler, Charles Dickens. In addition to his enduring masterpieces, The Moonstone - often called the first true detective novel - and the sensational The Woman in White, Collins produced an intriguing array of lesser-known works. Told with Ackroyd's inimitable verve, this is a ravishingly entertaining life of a great storyteller, full of surprises, rich in humor and sympathetic understanding. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    From Light to Dark: The Story of Blind Dave Heeley , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
    Born sighted, "blind" Dave Heeley showed athletic promise from an early age, smashing his town's 1500-metre track record aged just 11 years old. However, a devastating diagnosis shattered his sporting dreams, and he hastily gave up on sporting activity. From Light to Dark charts Dave's story and how he rediscovered his boyhood talent for running and went on to undertake some of the world's toughest challenges, including John O'Groats to Land's End (with a difference); 10 marathons in 10 days; 700 miles of cycling across seven countries in seven days; and the 2015 Marathon des Sables, dubbed the "toughest footrace on Earth". In 2008 came Dave's greatest achievement, his name entering the record books as he became the first and to date the only blind person to have completed the ultimate endurance challenge of seven marathons in seven consecutive days on seven different continents. With a foreword by the veteran and record-breaking English adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, From Light to Dark is a heart-warming, inspirational tale of triumph over adversity. ungekürzt.

    Trail of Shadows: A Western Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 257min
    It was dusk when Todd Duncan sighted the man and his camp at a small oasis on the edge of the desert. Duncan, on his way to New Mexico to find work, knew better than to barge into a stranger's camp. After riding in and dismounting, he decided to make coffee before waking the stranger. When he called to the man, there was no response, so he walked over to find the man dead from a gunshot wound. It is then that he finds himself surrounded by Sheriff Matt Berryhill and his posse, their guns drawn. They identify the dead man as Jerry Swindin, who had been shot during an attempt to rob the express office. Assuming that Duncan is Swindin's partner, young Parton, who had shot and killed the express agent, the sheriff wastes no time arresting him, despite the fact the he claims his name is Todd Duncan and has letters to prove it. The only way to convince them that he's innocent is to track down the real killer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Dove.

    Pray Lied Eve: Short Tales of the Untoward , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 128min
    Kaia is haunted by fingerprints marring the basement door. No matter how hard she scrubs, they return day after day. The only things in the cellar are old Halloween decorations, and she double checks everyday.  Connor has sighted the most miraculous and mysterious thing in his life. Either no one else can see them or no one believes it. Ice balls larger than a fist smash to the ground regularly. When the church bells ring just right, another one falls.  Laurel knows animals can talk. Sometimes they ask her to do things. One will explain why they have always been drawn to her. By that time, she has grown, and so have they, into hideous demons with terrible demands.  Three tales of fear, confusion, and hopelessness from the author of Nightface, Lydia Peever. Horror, weird tales, stories of the supernatural. Call them what you will, these three tales were too long to be considered short by most markets and not long enough to be novellas. It takes only as many words used to tell a story; no more and no less.  Instead of hacking Pray Lied Eve into pieces, we bind these three into one offering. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: D. Michael Hope. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/116542/bk_acx0_116542_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
