    It was Easter Monday, 1952. It was a day like any other. The slat truck rolled into camp with half a dozen new convicts. I counted a couple of vagrants, one drunk, one assaulter and one assaultee. All of that and Olan Walker. Olan Walker was first out of the slat truck and he could have slid through one of the slats. That man was nothing but lank. He was as lean as a dog in Lent. He was as lean as hunger poured thinner than a spoon full of prison soup. He looked like he ate nothing but wind and shadow all his life. If there was a king and queen of skinny; a duke of raw bone, an earl of gaunt, and a prince of scrawny - well Olan Walker was the lord high ruler of them all. It didn't take too long before we all found out what Olan Walker really was. Olan Walker was a conjure man. Fans of haunting southern gothic horror stories will want to give this one a listen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Gold.

    The deepest secrets leave a trail that lead straight to the heart. Storm Peckham has lived her entire life a walking, talking lie. It's an open secret that her father's best ranch hand is his half-breed son. Only one other living soul knows that "son" is Storm. And that soul, her half-sister Emma, has been kidnapped. Without Emma, Storm faces a future as lonely and desolate as the desert toward which the kidnapper's tracks lead. But as long as Emma keeps leaving clues that tell Storm she's all right - and to stall for time - there's still hope. When US Marshalls Colt and Cole Dalton meet their hired tracker, Colt senses something isn't quite right about this small, unusually scrawny "boy". And it's not just Storm's odd methods, pushing the pace one minute, ambling the next. Its subtle movements that betray feminine grace, eyes that seem to see right through to his soul. With the handsome Colt tracking her every move, Storm's instincts warn her she's on borrowed time. And not even saving Emma will keep a lid on more than one secret with the power to change everything...for all of them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C.J. McAllister.

    Terrell Washington's childhood was a trifecta of suck: being black, gay, and poor in America has no upside. Terrell climbed his way out of the hood only to hit a glass ceiling and stop, frozen, a chain restaurant bartender with a journalism degree. His one bright spot is Colby Meyers, a coworker who has no fear, no inhibitions, and sees no boundaries. Terrell and Colby spend their summers at the river and their breaks on the back dock of Papiano's. As terrified as Terrell is of coming out, he's helpless to stay away from Colby's magnetic smile and contagious laughter. But Colby is out of college now, and he has grand plans for the future - plans Terrell is sure will leave his scrawny black ass in the Sacramento dust until a breathless moment stolen from the chaos of the restaurant tells Terrell he might be wrong. When the moment is shattered by a mystery and an act of violence, Terrell and Colby are left with two puzzles: who killed their scumbag manager, and how to fit their own lives - the black and the white of them - into a single shining tomorrow. ungekürzt.

    New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde returns with an unforgettable story of courage. Seventeen-year-old Ethan Underwood is totally unprepared to search for his father in the Blythe River National Wilderness. Not only is he small, scrawny, and skittish but he's barely speaking to the man after a traumatic betrayal. Yet when his father vanishes from their remote cabin and rangers abandon the rescue mission, suddenly it's up to Ethan to keep looking. Angry or not, he's his father's only hope. With the help of three locals - a fearless seventy-year-old widow, a pack guide, and a former actor with limited outdoor skills - he heads into the wild. The days that follow transform Ethan's world. Hail, punishing sun, swollen rapids, and exhausting pain leave him wondering if he's been fooled yet again: Is his father out here at all? As the situation grows increasingly dire, Ethan realizes this quest has become about more than finding his dad. From the bestselling author of Pay It Forward comes a story of nature revealing human nature - the trickiest terrain. Navigating an unforgiving landscape, Ethan searches himself for the ability to forgive his father - if he finds him alive. ungekürzt. Language: English.
