  Mourning Glory: Larry Kent Detective Series, Book 656 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min

  It started with the name "Emanuel Kadaver" and a New York address, both of which were written on one side of a 500 dollar bill. Intrigued, Larry Kent went along to discover just what his mysterious benefactor wanted. Next thing he knew, he was stranded 1500 miles from home with two whole days missing from his memory.Who had dumped him on a lonely, humid island in the middle of the Louisiana swamplands? Aside from Kadaver, there were only two other suspects: a tawny-haired swamp girl named Becky who longed to become a woman and the mysterious Miss Baines, whose gloomy, run-down mansion was patrolled by dogs who had been trained not just to defend, but to kill.Only one thing was for sure - if Larry didn’t clear himself of the neatest frame-up he’d ever encountered, he had an appointment with the electric chair.About Larry Kent:Larry Kent started his life as the hero of a half-hour radio show on Australia’s Macquarie Network, and was inspired chiefly by the success of the hard-boiled mysteries of Carter Brown. As the popularity of the radio show grew, the Cleveland Publishing Pty. Ltd decided to publish a series of Larry Kent novels.  Two authors, Don Haring (an American who lived in Australia) and Des R. Dunn (a Queenslander) are primarily associated with the series. Between 1954 and 1983, Larry appeared in well over 400 adventures.Kent is a typical hard-boiled private eye. He smokes Camels, drinks whisky and within the first dozen pages or so, has usually met a dame and is fighting for his life. His mean streets are pure New York (although the radio series was set in Australia) and include Harlem nightclubs and Jersey roadhouses.Generally, the body counts are high: about six deaths per novel. But there’s another side to Larry Kent. He’s a Vietnam war veteran who used to work for the CIA and still does, usually reluctantly, and on occasion. And once, when an attempt was made on his life, the a ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Belfast Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 472min

  Launched with the summer '04 award-winning best seller Brooklyn Noir, Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book. Reflecting a city still divided, Belfast Noir serves as a record of a city transitioning to normalcy, or perhaps as a warning that underneath the fragile peace darker forces still lurk. Featuring brand-new stories by: Glenn Patterson, Eoin McNamee, Garbhan Downey, Lee Child, Alex Barclay, Brian McGilloway, Ian McDonald, Arlene Hunt, Ruth Dudley Edwards, Claire McGowan, Steve Cavanagh, Lucy Caldwell, Sam Millar, and Gerard Brennan. From the introduction by Adrian McKinty & Stuart Neville: "Few European cities have had as disturbed and violent a history as Belfast over the last half-century. For much of that time the Troubles (1968–1998) dominated life in Ireland's second-biggest population centre, and during the darkest days of the conflict - in the 1970s and 1980s - riots, bombings, and indiscriminate shootings were tragically commonplace. The British army patrolled the streets in armoured vehicles and civilians were searched for guns and explosives before they were allowed entry into the shopping district of the city centre... Belfast is still a city divided... You can see Belfast's bloodstains up close and personal. This is the city that gave the world its worst ever maritime disaster, and turned it into a tourist attraction; similarly, we are perversely proud of our thousands of murders, our wounds constantly on display. You want noir? How about a painting the size of a house, a portrait of a man known to have murdered at least a dozen human beings in cold blood? Or a similar house-sized gable painting of a zombie marching across a post-apocalyptic wasteland with an AK-47 over the legend UVF: Prepared for Peace - Ready for War. As Lee Child has said, Belfast i ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies, Gerard Doyle, John Keating, Terry Donnelly.

  Northern Neck Fishing Steamers Go to War

  In 1917 eight wooden-hull, steam-powered fishing boats from the Northern Neck of Virginia were "conscripted" into service by the U. S. Navy, equipped with cannons, and sent on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean to France, where they patrolled for submarines, swept for mines, and rescued fellow ships and sailors under perilous conditions. WAIT! This is not a fictional tale that has been miscategorized as nonfiction. Although it seems too incredible to be true, it is a factual and amazing little-known piece of history. This is an authentic and exciting account of the small, extensively modified Chesapeake Bay Menhaden fishing boats and their brave crews, who admirably performed hazardous duties in the dangerous waters of France under risky wartime conditions in an operation few people have ever even heard of. This book provides documentation of an actual U. S. Department of the Navy operation that originated simply because the Navy didn't have adequate minesweepers and patrol boats to send to France when the U. S. entered WWI. This book presents the who, what, when, where, how, and why of the massive endeavor. These boats, while rugged in construction, were an average of only 155 feet in length with a 24-foot beam. They were designed for commercial fishing in the Chesapeake Bay and were never intended for ocean crossings or military use. The Norfolk Navy Yard performed nothing less than a miracle in making the extensive modifications necessary for turning the fishboats into warships. Remarkably, those vulnerable boats, designated Squadron Four Atlantic Fleet Patrol, made the risky journey from Boston to Brest, France in just 22 days, arriving safely in September 1917. The boats and crews completed their orders admirably. Only one of the boats sank while in service; however, three of them sank in a storm during a disastrous attempt to return to the United States. Two of the boats that sank belonged to the author's grandfather, Otis W. Douglas. Fascinated by the subject, he found Naval Department records, interesting personal accounts from crew members, 26 pictures of the iconic old, wooden-hulled, coal-fired steamers that were used to fish in the Bay, as well as information about all the boats that comprised the Northern Neck menhaden fishing fleet in 1917. If you like boats, naval exploits, and history, this is the book for you.
