Supreme Justice: A Novel of Suspense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
New York Times best-selling author Phillip Margolin returns to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., with an exciting thriller about a ghost ship and the president's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sarah Woodruff, on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finley, has appealed her case to the Supreme Court just when a prominent justice resigns, leaving a vacancy. Then, for no apparent reason, another justice is mysteriously attacked. Dana Cutler, one of the heroes from Margolin's best-selling Executive Privilege, is quietly called in to investigate. She looks for links between the Woodruff appeal and the ominous incidents in the justices' chambers, which eventually lead her to a shoot-out that took place years ago on a small freighter docked upriver in Shelby, Oregon, containing a dead crew and illegal drugs. The only survivor on board? John Finley. With the help of Brad Miller and Keith Evans, Dana uncovers a plot by a rogue element in the American intelligence community involving the president's nominee to the Supreme Court, and soon the trio is thrown back into the grips of a deadly, executive danger. With nonstop action, Supreme Justice picks up where Executive Privilege left off, putting listeners right back where they were, on the edge of their seats. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Pearl Harbor: Countdown to War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min
December 6, 1941, 24 hours until the deadly attack on Pearl Harbor. Ford Island was quiet, the hangar bays home to aircraft all ready to take off at a moment's notice. But on this day, there was no forewarning of what was to come. Brothers Vincent and Paul Russell were stationed on different ships. Vincent had quickly moved up the ranks to Lieutenant Commander onboard the USS Arizona while Paul worked as a messman on the USS California. Soon, the USS Arizona, USS Nevada, and USS Oklahoma would be returning from their surface practice drills and gunnery exercises to be docked at the bay. But Vincent has a sense of unease, having heard about the warning of an attack. Consulting with the general, he admits his distress that the Japanese were likely to attack somewhere in the Pacific, and at any moment. Assuring him that the attack on the Harbor is unlikely, the general dismisses Vincent. But less than 24 hours later, the sound of planes, and then bombs, strike the harbor, setting off a chain of events that live on in US history. For the Russell brothers, their lives will never be the same. For the weak become strong, and the strong become weak, as death overtakes both ships and changes the course of their lives in an instant. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Gilmore.

Deep Water Blues: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
Inspired by a true story, artfully told by the author of Searching for Bobby Fischer: A Bahamian island becomes a battleground for a savage private war. Charismatic expat Bobby Little built his own funky version of paradise on the remote island of Rum Cay, a place where ambitious sport fishermen docked their yachts for fine French cuisine and crowded the bar to boast of big blue marlin catches while Bobby refilled their cognac on the house. Larger than life, Bobby was really the main attraction: a visionary entrepreneur, expert archer, reef surfer, bush pilot, master chef, seductive conversationalist. But after tragedy shatters the tranquility of Bobby’s marina, tourists stop visiting and simmering jealousies flare among island residents. And when a cruel, different kind of self-made entrepreneur challenges Bobby for control of the docks, all hell breaks loose. As the cobalt blue Bahamian waters run red with blood, the man who made Rum Cay his home will be lucky if he gets off the island alive....When the Ebb Tide cruises 400 miles southeast from Fort Lauderdale to Rum Cay, its captain finds the Bahamian island paradise he so fondly remembers drastically altered. Shoal covers the marina entrance, the beaches are deserted, and on shore there is a small cemetery with headstones overturned and bones sticking up through the sand. What happened to Bobby’s paradise? Cover design by Mauricio Díaz ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Corey Allen.

My Life in France, Hörbuch, Digital, 302min
In her own words, here is the captivating story of Julia Child's years in France, where she fell in love with French food and found "her true calling". From the moment the ship docked in Le Havre in the fall of 1948 and Julia watched the well-muscled stevedores unloading the cargo to the first perfectly soigne meal that she and her husband, Paul, savored in Rouen en route to Paris, where he was to work for the USIS, Julia had an awakening that changed her life. Soon this tall, outspoken gal from Pasadena, California, who didn't speak a word of French and knew nothing about the country, was steeped in the language, chatting with purveyors in the local markets, and enrolled in the Cordon Bleu. After managing to get her degree despite the machinations of the disagreeable directrice of the school, Julia started teaching cooking classes herself, then teamed up with two fellow gourmettes, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, to help them with a book they were trying to write on French cooking for Americans. Throwing herself heart and soul into making it a unique and thorough teaching book, only to suffer several rounds of painful rejection, is part of the behind-the-scenes drama that Julia reveals with her inimitable gusto and disarming honesty. This memoir is laced with wonderful stories about the French character, particularly in the world of food, and the way of life that Julia embraced so wholeheartedly. Above all, she reveals the kind of spirit and determination, the sheer love of cooking, and the drive to share that with her fellow Americans that made her the extraordinary success she became.

The Strangers Who Came Home: The First Australian Cricket Tour of England , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 618min
The Ashes cricket series, played out between England and Australia, is the oldest and arguably the most keenly contested rivalry in international sport. Yet the majority of the first representative Australian cricket team to tour England in 1878 in fact regarded themselves as Englishmen. In May of that year, the SS City of Berlin docked at Liverpool, and the Australians stepped onto English ground to begin the inaugural first-class cricket tour of England by a representative overseas team. As they made their way south toward Lord's to play the MCC in the second match of the tour, the intrepid tourists, or "the strangers", as they were referred to in the press, encountered arrogance and ignorance, cheating umpires, and miserable weather. But by defeating a powerful MCC side that included W.G. Grace himself in a single afternoon's play, they turned English cricket on its head. The Lord's crowd, having openly laughed at the tourists, wildly celebrated a victory that has been described as "arguably the most momentous six hours in cricket history" and claimed the Australians as their own. The Strangers Who Came Home is a compelling social history that brings that momentous summer to life, telling the story of these extraordinary men who travelled thousands of miles, risking life and limb, playing 43 matches in England (as well as several in Philadelphia, America, on their return journey) during a demanding but ultimately triumphant homecoming; how their glorious achievements on the field of play threw open the doors to international sports touring; and how these men from the colonies provided the stimulus for Australian nationhood through their sporting success and brought unprecedented vitality to international cricket. ungekürzt.

Lethal Games: A Swedish Crime Novel: Greger Thulin, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 661min
Arne Hildeng is found dead on his luxury Storebro yacht docked at the harbor in Skärhamn. Also onboard is Andrea, his wife. Did she murder her husband? Or could the murderer be someone else in the Hildeng family? And Chief Inspector Greger Thulin didn't expect to see yet another Storebro dock at the wharf. Arne Hildeng's brother, Jon, and his wife, Mette, climb out of that boat, and Inspector Katarina Linde notices that Mette tries to keep her face hidden. But Katarina can see that the bruises are fresh. At the same time, an explosion of violence is going on in Gothenburg's underworld. The illegal gambling market and drug trade aren't yielding enough for the many who want a piece of the action. And when the gangs start to break up, one of their leaders will have a key role in Katarina's life. It is said that when a gambling addiction gets its claws in you, it's not only your own life that is ruined; you drag your family down with you, and in this suspenseful thriller by Ramona Fransson, the gambling devil isn't satisfied with crushing only one family. In Ramona Fransson's fourth detective story, Lethal Games, you get to know the Hildeng and Caling families. They are affluent and outwardly happy and prosperous, but if one scratches the surface, humiliation and hatred are revealed. And when one of their sons is pulled into the Gothenburg gang's violent and criminal world, the final piece of the beautiful façade cracks. Ramona Fransson has established herself as one of Sweden's most popular detective story authors. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Judith Bourque.

Drop Dead Punk: A Coleridge Taylor Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min
Coleridge Taylor is searching for his next scoop on the police beat. The Messenger-Telegram reporter has a lot to choose from on the crime-ridden streets of New York City in 1975. One story outside his beat is grabbing all the front page glory: New York teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, and President Ford just told the city, as the Daily News so aptly puts it, "drop dead". Taylor's situation is nearly as desperate. His home is a borrowed dry-docked houseboat, his newspaper may also be on the way out, and his drunk father keeps getting arrested. A source sends Taylor down to Alphabet City, where he finds two dead bodies: a punk named Johnny Mort and a cop named Robert Dodd. Each looks too messed up to have killed the other, so Taylor starts asking around. The punk was a good kid, the peace-loving guardian angel of the neighborhood's stray dogs. What led him to mug a woman at gunpoint? And why is officer Samantha Callahan being accused of leaving her partner to die, even though she insists the police radio misled her? It's hard enough being a female in the NYPD only five years after women were assigned to patrol, and now the department wants to throw her to the wolves. That's not going to happen - not if Taylor can help it. As he falls for Samantha - a beautiful, dedicated second-generation cop - he realizes he's too close to his story. Officer Callahan is a target, and Taylor is standing between her and some mighty big guns. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Donald Corren.
