  At Dawn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 740min

  Caught in a riptide of haphazard underemployment, at turns violent and unpredictable, suffering under a bad economy with no family or friends to speak of, Stratton Brown longs for the chance to escape his small-town past and build a new life. He sets out for Chicago, where he meets a new and fresh hell: a nine-to-fiver in a nondescript, meaningless company, and an obsessive love affair with woman who may be a bit too attached to her abusive ex-boyfriend. Is this all America has to offer its 20-somethings? He’ll soon have to figure out that beneath the gruff labor of building a new life lies the presence of something much more true: a way past his violent childhood and a new path to the American dream. At Dawn is a literary debut of a fresh and powerful male voice in fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Woodman.

  Giving Up , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min

  At times funny, at other times sad, and more than often a mixture of the two, Giving Up by Mike Steeves is a deeply felt account of what goes on in the inner sanctum of a modern couple’s apartment. In grappling with the line between what happened and what might have happened, Steeves gives voice to the anguish of a generation of people who grew up with great expectations and are now settling into their own personal failures and compromises: James is obsessed with completing his life’s work. Mary is worried about their problems starting a family and is scared that their future might not turn out as she’d planned. In the span of a few hours on an ordinary night in a nondescript city, two relatively small events will have enormous consequences on James’ and Mary’s lives, both together and apart. With an unrelenting prose style and pitch-black humor, Giving Up addresses difficult topics - James’ ruinous ambition, and Mary’s quiet anguish - in a funny and relatable way. ungekürzt.

  Shella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min

  From the author of the acclaimed Burke private-eye series comes an ambitious and chilling novel that shows us not only what evil is, but where it comes from. For Shella is nothing less than a tour of evil’s spawning ground, conducted by one of its natural predators. He is called “Ghost” because he is so nondescript as to be invisible and because he slays with such reflexive ease that he might be one of the dead. Once he traveled with a woman who was called “Shella” - because those who had treated her as a horrendously ill-used child had tried to make her come out of her shell. Now Shella has vanished in a wilderness of strip clubs and peep shows, and Ghost is looking for her, guided by a killer’s instinct and the recognition that can only exist between two people who have been damaged past the point of no return. The result is Andrew Vachss’s most compelling work to date, the thriller reimagined as a bleak romance of the damned. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phil Gigante.

  Dodgers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min

  Dodgers is a dark, unforgettable coming-of-age journey that recalls the very best of Richard Price, Denis Johnson and J. D. Salinger.  When East, a low-level lookout for a Los Angeles drug organisation, loses his watch house in a police raid, his boss recruits him for a very different job: a road trip - straight down the middle of white, rural America - to assassinate a judge in Wisconsin. Having no choice, East and a crew of untested boys - including his trigger-happy younger brother, Ty - leave the only home they've ever known in a nondescript blue van, with a roll of cash, a map and a gun they shouldn't have. Along the way, the country surprises East. The blood on his hands isn't the blood he expects. And he reaches places where only he can decide which way to go - or which person to become.  By way of The Wire and in the spirit of Scott Smith's A Simple Plan and Richard Price's Clockers, Dodgers is itself something entirely original: a gripping literary crime novel with a compact cast whose intimate story opens up to become a reflection on the nature of belonging and reinvention. ungekürzt.

  A Harmless Little Game: Harmless, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min

  Four years ago, I lost my virginity on live, streaming television. Too bad I wasn’t awake for it.  The video went viral. Of course it would. A senator’s daughter on camera? Wouldn’t you click “Share”? Besides, that’s what three of the four guys in the video did. Share. They shared me.  But that fourth guy? The nondescript one in the background in the upper left corner of the screen, just sitting on the couch? The only one who did nothing? Not one single thing. That was my boyfriend, Drew. And that was the last time I saw him.  Until today, when my father - now on a path to the White House - hired him as head of security for my new team as I return home after four years of “recovering” in an undisclosed location that involved white lab coats, needles, pills, and damage control.  You see, the other three guys never went to jail. Never had charges pressed. Never faced consequences. Until today. Game on.  A Harmless Little Game is the first in this political thriller/romantic suspense trilogy by USA Today best-selling author Meli Raine. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andi Arndt.

  ME , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min

  This novel centers on the "It's me" telephone scam - often targeting the elderly - that has escalated in Japan in recent years. Typically, the caller identifies himself only by saying, "Hey, it's me", and goes on to claim in great distress that he's been in an accident or lost some money with which he was entrusted at work, etc., and needs funds wired to his account right away. ME's narrator is a nondescript young Tokyoite named Hitoshi Nagano who, on a whim, takes home a cell phone that a young man named Daiki Hiyama accidentally put on Hitoshi's tray at McDonald's. Hitoshi uses the phone to call Daiki's mother, pretending he is Daiki, and convinces her to wire him 900,000 yen. Three days later, Hitoshi returns home from work to discover Daiki's mother there in his apartment, and she seems to truly believe Hitoshi is her son. Even more bizarre, Hitoshi discovers his own parents now treat him as a stranger; they, too, have a "me" living with them as Hitoshi. At a loss for what else to do, Hitoshi begins living as Daiki, and no one seems to bat an eye. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Shih.

  Madame Bovary of the Suburbs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min

  The story of a woman's life, from childhood to death, somewhere in provincial France, from the 1950s to just shy of 2025. She has doting parents, does well at school, finds a loving husband after one abortive attempt at passion, buys a big house with a moonlit terrace, makes decent money, has children, changes jobs, retires, grows old and dies. All in the comfort that the middle classes have grown accustomed to. But she's bored. She takes up all sorts of outlets to try to make something happen in her life: adultery, charity work, esotericism, manic housecleaning, motherhood and various hobbies - each one abandoned faster than the last. But no matter what she does, her life remains unfocused and unfulfilled. Nothing truly satisfies her because deep down - just like the town where she lives - the landscape is nondescript, flat, horizontal. Sophie Divry dramatises the philosophical conflict between freedom and comfort that marks women's lives in a materialistic world. Our heroine is an endearing, contemporary Emma Bovary, and Divry's prose will remind listeners of the best of Houellebecq, the cold, implacable historian who paints a precise portrait of an era and those who inhabit it - and in doing so renders existence indelibly absurd. Translated from the French by Alison Anderson. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Billie Fulford-Brown. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/qpuk/000357/bk_qpuk_000357_sample.mp3.

  The Muse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min

  Jane Knoll doesn't realize it yet, but life is about to take a daring turn. For the past decade, Jane's been able to recapture her sense of peace after years of being bullied. By day she edits marketing jargon, and by night she watches television reruns with her gay neighbor, Larry. She's comfortable. Then, after she meets her new coworker, Eva, television reruns are no longer an option. Too shy to get to know Eva in real life, Jane creates an online alter ego and starts to follow her on Twitter. Face-to-face, Jane is nothing more than Eva's nondescript, clumsy coworker: a social catastrophe. But, behind the safety of her laptop screen, she becomes confident and empowered with purpose and talent. The two hit it off, and what forms is an undeniable creative union, one with the ability to positively change many lives. There's just one major problem standing in the way, though. Can she fulfill her purpose and make a change in the world while living the rest of her life as an alter ego? Is she brave enough to reveal her true identity and risk squandering all she's gained by it? This audiobook delves into the dramatic world of women in love, anti-bullying, sexuality, social psychology, and social anxiety. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzie Carr.
