The Whaleboat House, Hörbuch, Digital, 350min
Read by Kerry Shale. In the small town of Amagansett, perched on Long Island's windswept coast, generations have followed the same calling as their forefathers, fishing the dangerous Atlantic waters. Little has changed in the three centuries since white settlers drove the Montaukett Indians from the land. But for Conrad Labarde, a second-generation Basque immigrant recently returned from the Second World War, and his fellow fisherman Rollo Kemp, this stability is shattered when a beautiful New York socialite turns up dead in their nets. On the face of it, her death was accidental, but deputy police chief Tom Hollis - an incomer from New York - is convinced the truth lies in the intricate histories and family secrets of Amagansett's inhabitants. Meanwhile the enigmatic Labarde is pursuing his own investigation. In unravelling the mystery, this haunting and evocative novel captures a community whose way of life is disappearing, its demise hastened by war in Europe and the incursions of wealthy city dwellers in search of a playground.

Florence Young: Mission Accomplished: Christian Heroes: Then & Now , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 277min
A rip current overturned the whaleboat with eight Kanaka Christians aboard. Only three of the men could swim, and the others clung to the upturned boat. Sharks circled the three as they struggled to get to shore. The three survived, but the others could not be found. When Florence heard the news, she resolved to go on despite the dangers. Once timid and unsure of her own salvation, New Zealander Florence Young rose to her calling and became a fearless and faithful witness for Jesus Christ. Eventually serving in the remote Solomon Islands and, for a season, in China during the deadly Boxer Rebellion, Florence began her service close to home. This one woman's mission to the Solomon Islanders, or Kanakas, working on her family's Australian plantation soon expanded to their home islands. There, as Florence and others helped Kanaka believers reach out to villages steeped in cannibalism and revenge killings, thousands of people were transformed by the love of God. (1856-1940) This best-selling missionary biography series - Christian Heroes: Then & Now - chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for his kingdom and glory. ungekürzt.

The Nantucket Sleighride: The Frankie Ransom Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 990min
The third Frankie Ransom story.Nantucket Sleighride (description: from Wikipedia) – ‘A Nantucket sleighride was a term used by Nantucket whale men to describe what occurs immediately following the harpooning of a whale. The whale, realizing it had been harpooned, would attempt to flee and thus drag the whaleboat along with it... The length of the drag for the sailors would last as long as the whale could swim before it became exhausted..'Eighteen months after her rescue from the hands of murderous Balkan gangsters Frankie is finally resuming her full-time career in the Met. The trouble is that the Met has fallen out of love with her, and in her heart, she's afraid she's fallen out of love with it.She'd been promised a ‘proper' police job in the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, what she'd got wasn't even close. She'd been promised she'd be working with an elite team of experienced detectives, what she'd got was a squad of malcontents, troublemakers and time-servers. And worst of all, she discovers she's been appointed London's unofficial ‘Celebrity Cop'. As if to add insult to injury, Professional Standards are on her case. Not because she's done anything wrong but because the very thing she'd been afraid of all along has happened: she has become the story.So, when somebody breaks into a prestigious Oxford Street gallery and destroys the most famous painting of the New England School, The Nantucket Sleighride, a priceless World Heritage Treasure, Frankie is back in the news. Big Time.Immediately, London's Celebrity Cop is pitted against the secretive, uncooperative art establishment aided and abetted by the Met's own Fine Arts and Antiquities Squad and finds herself embroiled in a century-old feud between two rich and powerful New England families. Then the mutilated body of a young woman with the same name as a nineteenth century whale ship is dragged out of the Thames and Frankie finds herself riding her own personal Nantucket Sleighride! ungekürzt.
