  Gone Again: A Jack Swyteck Novel, Book 12 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 775min

  In this electrifying and fast-paced tale of suspense from the New York Times best-selling author of the acclaimed Cash Landing, Cane and Abe, and Black Horizon, Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck takes on his first death-row client since The Pardon in a case as twisty as it is shocking. Sashi Burgette vanished three years ago on her way to school. The night after the teenager's disappearance, ex-con Dylan Kyle was stopped for drunk driving. An article of Sashi's clothing was found in his truck, and a police videotape of his drunken explanation under interrogation sealed his fate at trial. Now, just days from Kyle's execution, Sashi's mother visits Jack Swyteck, who's doing pro bono work at the Freedom Institute, and delivers shocking news: "Sashi called me." The police dismiss the call as a cruel hoax. The state attorney refuses to consider the new evidence, insisting the case is closed. The governor has already signed the death warrant. An innocent man may be executed, and time is running out - unless his lawyers can locate Sashi. A man of principle who believes in justice, Jack jumps into the investigation. But the deeper he digs, the more he discovers that nothing is what it appears to be. Not the victim. Not her alleged killer. And definitely not Sashi's parents, whose grief ruptured their marriage, each openly blaming the other for what happened to their daughter. As their gut-wrenching and hopelessly conflicting version of events unfolds in a Miami courtroom, it becomes clear there is something even more difficult to find than a long-missing girl.... The truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Davis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/005015/bk_harp_005015_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Ambush at Fort Bragg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min

  As the producer of a prime-time TV news magazine, Irv Durtscher fancies himself the Federico Fellini of television journalism. For who else can draw 50 million viewers, satisfy the network's gluttony for profits, and advance the cause of social justice? The only problem is that no one else recognizes Irv's genius. Instead, all the accolades go to the blonde bombshell anchor who won't give balding, near-sighted Irv the time of day. But suddenly, Irv has a chance to break the most sensational story of his career - one that will surely catapult him into the national spotlight and into Madame Bombshell's heart.For months, the wheels of justice have ground to a halt as three soldiers from Fort Bragg have categorically denied that they savagely beat and murdered a member of their company because he was gay. Now, Irv Durtscher, self-proclaimed soul of a soulless industry, is poised to expose the truth. With a fortune in surveillance equipment, he has infiltrated a bar near Fort Bragg, in the hopes that the unwitting soldiers will hang themselves on videotape. What he gets is pure dynamite. But Irv's story won't be complete until he arranges to ambush the three young toughs and show them the footage. What happens when one of New York's media elite confronts the Lords of Testosterone?...not what you think.Ambush at Fort Bragg is classic Wolfe - a blistering send-up of one man's drive for fame and glory and the lengths to which the media will go to showcase their version of the truth. This is Wolfe at his very best - timely, relevant, and right on the money about many aspects of '90s America: the media, the military, the South, discrimination, and homophobia. ungekürzt.

  Crowning Clinton: Why Hillary Shouldn't Be in the White House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min

  While mainstream media pundits touted Hillary Clinton's inevitable coronation as president in 2016, AFP staunchly stood alone, warning that her and Bill's inexcusable crimes against women, rampant corruption, and illegal weapons trafficking in Benghazi would ultimately bring about her demise. Whereas conservative news outlets such as Fox hint at various scandals, they don't possess the courage to expose those issues which AFP has regularly covered for the past decade. For example, AFP published Hillary (and Bill), a trilogy that devoted entire chapters to the Clinton body count, their involvement in cocaine distribution at the Mena, Ark. airport, and Bill's blood-curdling rape of Juanita Broaddrick. More recently, AFP lead the pack in regard to covering taboo topics. While liberal lapdogs at MSNBC and CNN begrudgingly referred to a so-called videotape that supposedly incited the Benghazi attacks, AFP revealed in full detail how CIA operatives and those at Clinton's State Dept. broke international law by funneling heavy armaments from Libya to Syria. Similarly, Mrs. Clinton cannot escape the fact that she deliberately lied to the families of those slain in Benghazi, an unforgivable practice that she continues to this day. Or, when major network anchors stop at the adulterous Monica Lewinsky affair, AFP blew the lid off of Bill Clinton's sordid trips to Pedophile Island with convicted billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Likewise, since day one AFP highlighted Hillary's Chicago-style quid pro quo tactics as Sec. of State in which she diverted millions of dollars through political cronyism to the Clinton Foundation. Lastly, instead of trying to bury Hillary's email fiasco, AFP realized that a pattern of deception stretching back 40 years would be her Achilles heel. One simple fact should be clear: Hillary Clinton should not be crowned as the 45th president of this country. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Justus.

• There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say (eBook, ePUB)

  Part memoir, part monologue, with a dash of startling honesty, There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say features biographies of legendary historical figures from which Paula Poundstone can't help digressing to tell her own story. Mining gold from the lives of Abraham Lincoln, Helen Keller, Joan of Arc, and Beethoven, among others, the eccentric and utterly inimitable mind of Paula Poundstone dissects, observes, and comments on the successes and failures of her own life with surprising candor and spot-on comedic timing in this unique laugh-out-loud book. If you like Paula Poundstone's ironic and blindingly intelligent humor, you'll love this wryly observant, funny, and touching book. Paula Poundstone on . . . The sources of her self-esteem: "A couple of years ago I was reunited with a guy I knew in the fifth grade. He said, "All the other fifth-grade guys liked the pretty girls, but I liked you.” It's hard to know if a guy is sincere when he lays it on that thick. The battle between fatigue and informed citizenship: I play a videotape of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer every night, but sometimes I only get as far as the theme song (da da-da-da da-ah) before I fall asleep. Sometimes as soon as Margaret Warner says whether or not Jim Lehrer is on vacation I drift right off. Somehow just knowing he's well comforts me. The occult: I need to know exactly what day I'm gonna die so that I don't bother putting away leftovers the night before. TV's misplaced priorities: Someday in the midst of the State of the Union address they'll break in with, "We interrupt this program to bring you a little clip from Bewitched.” Travel: In London I went to the queen's house. I went as a tourist—she didn't invite me so she could pick my brain: "What do you think of my face on the pound? Too serious?” Air-conditioning in Florida: If it were as cold outside in the winter as they make it inside in the summer, they'd put the heat on. It makes no sense. The scandal: The judge said I was the best probationer he ever had. Talk about proud. With a foreword by Mary Tyler Moore

  Lincoln & Booth

  THE LINCOLN HERALD Vol. 101, No. 4 PUBLICATION/PLAYBACK REVIEW Edited by Steven K. Rogstad, Review Editor LINCOLN & BOOTH: A Historical Musical Written and composed by Richard J. Chiarappa Over the years the Lincoln assassination has been the subject of books and broadsides, poetry and painting. To this rich legacy may now be added something new and unusual: a musical play titled: 'Lincoln and Booth.' The videotape of this production was recorded live at the Roberts Theater of the Kingswood Oxford School in West Hartford, Connecticut, on September 19-21,1997. The compact disc is the original Hartford cast recording. 'Lincoln and Booth' retells the assassination story in an original two-act musical. History's whole gang is assembled for this event. There's Lincoln, Booth, Mrs. Surratt, Dr. Mudd, Atzerodt, Spangler, Nellie Starr, Stanton, Harry Clay Ford, Lt. Doherty, even Peanuts John. Fearing the worst, most historians grimace when the curtain parts on movies or stage productions about these characters. But there's nothing too amiss here. Richard Chiarappa, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics, has been fair to the facts. He wisely sought historical assistance from James 0. Hall, Laurie Verge, and Joan Chaconas, and viewers may rest assured the historical elements of the play are satisfactory. Although the set is simple, there is nothing diminutive about the production. The play is professionally done, it is well-cast, well-acted, and well-performed. Frank Sweeney gives us an energetic and credible Booth, Chris Hand Parliman (Mary Todd Lincoln) is also a standout, using a fine voice to good advantage. And what about Laura Diekmann! Bottle and sell her lovely Laura Keene! These and other performers are treated well by imaginative camerawork of the video and will look even better when additional lighting work is done. One of the musical numbers, 'Honor to Our Soldiers' by William Withers and H. B. Phillips, is the only non-original piece in the play. This seems quite appropriate, and Chiarappa is clever to include it. The song was to have been performed on April 14, 1865. 'Good-bye,' a trio sung by Booth, Nellie Star, and Lucy (Hale), is a haunting favorite among the new music. It had this reviewer hitting the rewind button several times for reprises.
