    Pietr the Latvian: Inspector Maigret, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 237min
    The first audiobook which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos. Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man. His firm muscles filled out his jacket and quickly pulled all his trousers out of shape. He had a way of imposing himself just by standing there. His assertive presence had often irked many of his own colleagues. In Simenon's first novel featuring Maigret, the laconic detective is taken from grimy bars to luxury hotels as he traces the true identity of Pietr the Latvian. Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. David Bellos is Director of the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication at Princeton University and has won many awards for his translations including the Man Booker International Translator's Award (2005). ungekürzt.

    Volcker: The Triumph of Persistence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min
    Over the course of nearly half a century, five American presidents - three Democrats and two Republicans - have relied on the financial acumen, and the integrity, of Paul A. Volcker. During his tenure as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, when he battled the Great Inflation of the 1970s, Volcker did nothing less than restore the reputation of an American financial system on the verge of collapse. After the 2008 financial meltdown, the nation turned again to Volcker to restore trust in a shaky financial system: President Obama would name his centerpiece Wall Street regulation the Volcker Rule. Volcker's career demonstrated that a determined central banker can prevail over economic turmoil - so long as he can resist relentless political pressure. His resolve and independent thinking - sorely tested by Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan - laid the foundation for a generation of economic stability. Indeed, William L. Silber argues, it was only Volcker's toughness on monetary policy that "forced Reagan to be Reagan" and to rein in America's deficit. Noted scholar and finance expert Silber draws on hours of candid personal interviews and complete access to Volcker's personal papers to render dramatic behind-the-scenes accounts from Volcker's career at the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve: secret negotiations with European ministers; confrontations with the White House; crisis conferences with Wall Street titans, and even tense boardroom rebellions within the Fed itself. Filled with frank commentary from Volcker himself - including why he was personally irked with the "Volcker Rule" label - this will be the definitive account of Volcker's indispensable role in American economic history. ungekürzt.

    A Place Unchanged: A New Orleans Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
    The third Jeff Chaussier mystery finds Jeff returning to New Orleans. This time he has marriage on his mind. New Orleans, though, is far too seductive a lady and too wrapped in secrecy for a straightforward narrative to unfold. Things seem hopeful at the start. Bryna no longer has her brother's child to care for. Jeff is tired of the life of an itinerant actor and is also unusually flush with money from a London engagement. Things are on track, even though the flight home (his least favorite form of transportation) has left him woozy from self-medication. He wakes to an uncertain morning, unclear whose bed it is he finds himself in. Luckily, it's Bryna who is obeying his mother's instructions on what to do with him on arrival. Memory happily restored, Jeff lolls in bed as Bryna goes downstairs to prepare breakfast. Jeff expects a meal, not muffled screams and a slamming door. Dashing downstairs, he chases the intruders out the door, handicapped by his lack of clothing and irked that Bryna was taken in the same state. Obviously, he has to call on his family and friends to get her back. Before he can, he dives into a sea of alcohol where he finds interesting new acquaintances from Indiana who want to tour the bars and a literary co-ed who wants to instruct him in other arts. With the help of his family and friends and some new acquaintances who are friends of a stockbroker and a doctor he is able to function again. His boozy excursion means that the trail has gone cold until a hurried postcard from Bryna sends him north across Lake Pontchartrain to the rolling hills of horse country and south of New Orleans to the trackless swamps. Allies turn up in both places but Jeff still needs the good services of a quiet, but efficient Sheriff and a swamp rat with multiple names and odd connections. Bryna's rescue is ready, except for the unfortunate appearance of a monster storm that renders the swamps imp ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Sanchez.

    The Dragon's Lullaby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
    The dragons are reawakening. All the signs indicate as much. The duration of the spell that forced the beasts into magically prolonged slumber has nearly elapsed. The fanatical Cult of the Wyrm, secretly worshipping the power of the creatures throughout the dark centuries, has come out of hiding and is murdering those whom it believes have the power to reinstate the spell. And the now-forgotten caverns where the wyrms were confined so many centuries ago shake with the stirrings of the restless dragons. A mismatched group of would-be heroes finds itself in the possession of one of the few surviving copies of the spell, the Dragon's Lullaby. Shadowbender is worried. Lacking sufficient time to transcribe the spell, he is forced to rely on the hope it can be cast in its current song form, and music is a skill he does not possess. Furthermore, he is responsible for leading this partially neophyte group across a trackless wilderness filled with hidden perils. Drake of Allendale is hopeful; he feels they will be able to find the semi-legendary Vale of the Wyrm wherein the spell must be cast despite the fact no one really knows where it is. Roland is irked; the others seem oblivious to the stupidity of setting out to cast the spell when exactly no one in the group actually knows how to cast it. Oceana is conciliatory; she knows the prejudices and incompatibility of several members of the group threaten to fragment their fellowship. Quint is brave; he isn't concerned the fanatical Cult of the Wyrm that is dogging their every step will kill them in order to prevent the casting of the spell despite the superior numbers, experience, and possession of home territory advantage this group enjoys. Well, he isn't overly concerned. Will this group be able to overcome their own failings long enough to survive to cast the Dragon's Lullaby and save the world from the depredation of the dragons? ungekürzt. Language: English.
