When nature finally complies, a pious monk is sent to pay the rent—and found murdered beside the hacked rose-bush. Without a rose, the monks’ rental contract becomes void, adding greatly to the widow’s dowry.

Death Comes for the Archbishop , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min

Willa Cather's best known novel is an epic - almost mythic - story of a single human life lived simply in the silence of the Southwestern desert. In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the apostolic vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost 40 years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows - gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ackroyd.

A visit from the tall, thin woman he arrested many years ago - now married to a hapless burglar - leads Maigret on a tortuous investigation in which he struggles with a formidable suspect.

He had set them loose on the house like a pack of hounds on the trail of a scent, encouraging them not with his voice, but by his whole attitude...would events have played out in the same manner, if the man from Rue de la Ferme hadn't been a heavyweight like him, both physically and psychologically?'
