    The War Widow: A World War II Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
    John Petersen is a war-weary Army lieutenant assigned to guard the highest-ranking survivors of Hitler's Third Reich at the Nuremberg trials. Petersen has two primary jobs: first to keep Hermann Goering, Hitler's number two man, alive until he can be tried and hanged; and second, to keep his mercurial commanding officer, Douglas Gaffner, happy. These tasks don't always go hand-in-hand. A combat veteran, Petersen has a lot to learn about post-war life. He never imagines that his friendship with Robert Simmons, an unrepentant trader on Nuremburg's black market, will lead to tragedy. He never guesses that his affair with housekeeper Lisbeth Bichler will end in betrayal and heartbreak. He never imagines his wary friendship with Goering will jeopardize his standing with Gaffner. He doesn't realize until too late the lengths to which Goering will go to cheat the hangman and deny the allies their final revenge. Set at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremburg, Germany, the story follows Petersen from the battlefields of World War II to the clandestine conflicts of the Cold War and into a shadowy, new world where intrigue, romance, and a thriving Black Market intersect with the ripening conflict between East and West. ungekürzt.

    In 1946, soon-to-be-executed Nazi General Hermann Goering asks young Soul Identity overseer Archibald Morgan to take his looted gold and deposit it in a soul line collection, there to await his soul's rebirth.

She struggles to persuade Morgan to reject the Nazi's deposit, but Morgan prevails. Sixty-four years have passed. A repentant Morgan opens Goering's collection and discovers the gold is gone. In its place lies a cryptic journal. Morgan asks security expert Scott Waverly to find the thief and recover the gold.

    Traitor to Hero: The Vermeer Faker Who Cheated the Dutch and the Nazis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
    The incredible story of Han van Meegeren, the Dutch painter who produced faked Vermeers, fooled his Dutch fellowmen, sold one to Herman Goering, and finally had to confess his forgeries to save himself from the death penalty when he was accused for high treason. After the trial he became a national hero for cheating the Nazis.Han van Meegeren, was a Dutch painter who during World War II who painted copies - considered as better than the originals - of Vermeers, cheated the entire artistic community and even Herman Goering, and finally had to confess his fakes to save himself from the high treason charges for dealing with the enemy.  This dramatic fiction is based on the impressive story of Han van Meegeren in the 1930s and during the Second World War, who managed to forge and sell six Vermeers and two Franz Hals for an updated amount of 100 million dollars. One of the Vermeers was purchased by Herman Goering, second in the hierarchy of the Third Reich. At the end of World War II, van Meegeren had to face the accusation of being a traitor to the country and had to confess his forgery to save his life.These confessions were an earthquake in the pictorial community of Holland and the whole world, since their falsifications had been accepted unanimously, and one of them, the “Christ in Emmaus” was considered the best Vermeer of them all. This fiction, based on real events, leads us to reflect on the concept of authenticity in art and the validity of traditional concepts of truth and beauty: Is a painting no longer beautiful when it is discovered as a forgery? Why do people lose interest in a work of art if it is not authentic? Why won't human nature allow us to enjoy the aesthetics of a fake Vermeer when we enjoyed it before finding out? Is the art business a hoax?  Purchase this book to find out how a Dutch fooled the Nazis and became a national hero!  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Williams.

    Goering's Gold
    Ructions O'Hare returns in a thriller - based on one of history's greatest unsolved heists - pitting him against the IRA, Interpol, and neo-Nazis . . . When WWII ended, the allies discovered that a huge amount of gold bullion plundered by Nazi Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering had gone missing. Some historians believed the gold had been hidden in a train box car in Poland. Others that it was secreted in Lake Toplitz in the Austrian Alps. And a few thought it was buried in the Republic of Ireland, which was neutral during the war. When ex-IRA soldier Ructions O'Hare stumbles on a piece of Nazi memorabilia once owned by Goering, he begins to think that those who suspect the gold was in Ireland just might be on to something. But for Ructions to return to Ireland is easier said than done. For a start, the IRA is after him for not paying them a cut from a huge bank robbery he carried out in Belfast. And then there's the Neo-Nazis, who believe that Goering's gold rightfully belongs to them, and who are happy to kill anyone who gets in their way. And as Ructions gathers clues to the gold's location and, as his many adversaries realize he's getting closer, it's as if a noose is tightening around his neck...
