  In this mercilessly compelling thriller, Burke - the private eye, sting artist, and occasional hit man who metes out a cruelly ingenious vengeance on those who victimize children - is up against a soft-spoken messiah who may be rescuing runaways or recruiting them for his own hideous purposes. But in doing so, Burke becomes a target for an entire Mafia family, a whore with a heart of cyanide, and a contract killer as implacable as a heart-seeking missile. Written with Vachss' signature narrative overdrive - and with his unnerving familiarity with the sub-basement of American crime - Hard Candy is vintage Burke. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phil Gigante. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/002137/bk_brll_002137_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  A Scanner Darkly , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 552min

  Bob Arctor is a dealer of the lethally addictive drug Substance D. Fred is the police agent assigned to tail and eventually bust him. To do so, Fred takes on the identity of a drug dealer named Bob Arctor. And since Substance D, which Arctor takes in massive doses, gradually splits the user's brain into two distinct, combative entities, Fred doesn't realize he is narcing on himself. Caustically funny, eerily accurate in its depiction of junkies, scam artists, and the walking brain-dead, Philip K. Dick's industrial-grade stress test of identity is as unnerving as it is enthralling. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Giamatti. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/000778/bk_rand_000778_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
