Murder in Misdirection: A Doyle & Acton Mystery (The Doyle and Acton Scotland Yard Series, Book 7) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 522min
It was a bit puzzling, that Chief Inspector Acton hadn’t mentioned the body they’d discovered in the burnt-out church, even though he must have known that Doyle would find it of great interest. Was the arsonist caught up in her own fire, or was there a deeper, more sinister tale told by the blackened rubble? Although she was sidelined on maternity leave, Detective Sergeant Kathleen Doyle was fast coming to the realization that her husband hadn’t told her, because he was masterminding some scheme - a scheme that may-or-may-not involve arson, blood money, and the ducks of St. Petersburg. ungekürzt.

Pauly, like most horse trainers, pushes the envelope of acceptable practice, while his look-alike brother rips through regulations with regularity and abandon. It didn't take long for the two brothers to hook up with a couple of con men: an expert computer hacker who likes e-gaming and a shyster stock promoter on the lookout for eager marks willing to blow their fortunes on a shady horse-betting consortium.The one thing they didn't count on is an associate of Benson Yeung's Hong Mian triad: an ex-South Korean colonel who operates a crooked international gambling empire. Two corrupt confidence men, unethical twin horse trainers, and doppelgänger thoroughbreds add up to a combustible confluence of confusion, misdirection, and murder, with tentacles that twist their way through LA, Sidney, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Macau. ungekürzt.

Summary of The 48 Laws of Power: by Robert Greene | Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
Preview: The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is a self-help book offering advice on how to gain and maintain power, using lessons drawn from parables and the experiences of historical figures. Power depends on the relationships between a person and those he or she seeks to control. Powerful people must cultivate their appearances to earn respect and eliminate doubt. They must practice selective honesty, misdirection, and an excess of secrecy to gain a tactical advantage. Timing is central to maintaining power, as is the ability to adapt. The array of strategies available when seeking power include mirroring the opponent's actions and controlling the opponent's options for action. The powerful must also cultivate a relationship with audiences by creating spectacles and feeding their need to believe in the impossible.

America's Diplomats: The Road to Attleboro , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 935min
All wars spawn simple heroes from youthful naivety as boy-soldiers evolve into weathered combat veterans. Young Jay Sharpe is no exception. Born into a long lineage of patriots, he never questions his generation's call to arms. Filled with wanderlust and rarely sure of what he wants, but knowing precisely what he does not want - a predictable marriage to his high school sweetheart and looming job at the local sawmill in his small hometown after graduation - he gallops off to the nearest Army recruiter to become Private John Joseph Sharpe, all-American hero. After rigorous training, he emerges as one of the Army's elite paratroopers and eagerly sails off to Vietnam and the golden opportunities awaiting him there - a near fatal encounter with the 9th North Vietnamese "Ghost" Regiment in the legendary battle of Attleboro, the largest land engagement of the entire war effort. His gripping tale of the trials of a soldier in our nation's most controversial confrontation is a graphic chronicle of love, hate, hope, and despair in an era of uncertainty and misdirection. ungekürzt.

Two Bare Arms: Dead Cold Mysteries, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min
It was November in New York. It was raining, it was cold, and the trees all looked like skeleton’s hands. And Detective John Stone was having a problem with habeas corpus, because all there was of the body was two bare arms. Two bare arms that somebody, 12 years ago, had put in a lock up in the East Bronx. What they had done with the rest of the woman, nobody knew. But as Stone and Dehan start to investigate, two things become clear: whoever killed the woman wanted her arms to be found, as a boast, as a challenge. And that meant they were dealing with a psychopath - a serial killer. But who - the biker with a taste for beating up women? Or his best pal, the Satanist and devotee of Crowley? Or perhaps the neurotic IT freak who spent his leisure hours surfing the net for porn? Or maybe somebody else? One thing Stone understands clearly, whoever it is, is a master of misdirection.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Carlson.
