    The Holy Bible - Micah: King James Version, Hörbuch, Digital, 17min
    The Book of Micah is a series of warnings to the people of Israel on God's behalf. At the beginning of the book, he addresses them that they have garnered wealth and power through theft and greed.He goes on to say that even their leaders and prophets were offering God’s protection to the people if they could afford to pay them. He relates how God has withdrawn His protection. Further in the book, he expands upon the accusations by saying that the Israelites favor the wealthy, bend the laws after collecting bribes, and steal the land of poor people. They are violating the laws of the Torah.After delivering stern warnings and the consequences of their waywardness, he delivers to them the messages of hope: that God will establish a messianic kingdom in Jerusalem where everyone will gather in peace.

    Bellringer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 770min
    In a resort town turned internment camp, a female prisoner is brutally murdered. Before the war, the hotels of Vittel hosted the wealthiest members of French society. Now, in the winter of 1943, two of France’s most luxurious resorts have been converted into an internment camp for British and American women who failed to escape the country when the German army stormed across the border. For two years, the prisoners have lived quietly, surviving on Red Cross aid packages, but now they are beginning to die. An American woman is found stabbed through the heart with a pitchfork. By the time inspectors Jean-Louis St-Cyr and Hermann Kohler arrive from Paris, rigor mortis and the February frost have frozen her solid. In her pockets are Cracker Jacks and Hershey bars - bribes intended for one of the guards. To bring justice to Vittel, St-Cyr and Kohler will have to unravel the conspiracy that is at the heart of this luxurious, elegant hell. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jean Brassard.

    Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min
    Thirteen-year-old Steven has a totally normal life (well, almost): He plays drums in the All-Star Jazz Band, has a crush on the hottest girl in school (who doesn’t know he’s alive), frequently finds himself sitting across from his school counselor (who bribes him with candy), and is constantly annoyed by his five-year-old brother, Jeffrey (who is cuter than cute). Oh, Steven has parents, too (the kind that embarrass him). But when Jeffrey gets sick, Steven’s world is turned upside down as he is forced to deal with his brother’s illness, his parents’ attempts to keep the family in one piece, the band, overdue homework, girls, and of course, Dangerous Pie (yes, you have to listen to the book to find out what that is). In a debut that has won raves, Jordan Sonnenblick digs deep into the heart of a family in crisis with humor, hope, and impressive sensitivity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joel Johnstone.

    Make the Media Want You: An Insider's Guide to Creating Persuasive Pitches , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    Broadcaster and writer Lisa Brandt has booked and interviewed thousands of guests. She knows firsthand that people in the media are deluged with pitches for airtime and print space. Sometimes, what’s offered is of value to them. Other times, it’s not. The media must keep its listeners, viewers, and readers in mind while making these decisions. PR reps, publicists, business owners, and artists have to make a business case. But too often, they have no idea how to do it or who they’re pitching to. Or worse, they expect the media personnel to do the work for them. Make the Media Want You takes the mystery out of the process from the pitch to the interview and everything in between. It includes examples of good and bad interviews, major mistakes to avoid, and insider tips on how to approach an overworked, overtired broadcaster or journalist. Hint: Bribes don’t work. But Lisa will share what does. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lisa Brandt. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/154256/bk_acx0_154256_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    A Shameless Little Bet: Shameless, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
    How do I prove a negative? I need to prove Jane is innocent despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Mirrors, smoke, and lies can conjure a truth that isn't real. Money, bribes, and power can twist reality. What we call proof is all an elaborate magic act. So is love. How do you prove you're in love? How can you know with unrelenting certainty the person you can't live without really loves you? It's all about what you believe. Who you believe. And I believe Jane. I love her. But it might be too late. Or, worse - it might all be an illusion. If proof is just a magician's sleight of hand, then we're caught in a sick trick. A deadly one. One that doesn't end with applause, but with a bang. Listen to the entire Shameless series now! A Shameless Little Con (volume one), A Shameless Little Lie (volume two), A Shameless Little Bet (volume three). The trilogy is complete! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    When high-flying Sydney lawyer Cass Meredith is appointed head of a state inquiry into a child pornography racket, she sees it as an opportunity to clean up the city. But she doesn't count on ex-Vice Squad detective John Carrigan - with his reputation for taking bribes and liking underage girls - being made her second-in-command. Loveday Larsen, a local prostitute, is hinting she has a video, which could unmask some of the countries most powerful men as pederasts. Suddenly its not clear whether its her eight-year-old son, Mozzie, or her career, that Cass is trying to protect when she plans to send him to boarding school. It seems that the closer Cass gets to discovering the identity of the men who torture children, the closer she gets to the truth about herself, as she, Carrigan and her young son are inexorably drawn towards the core of corruption. ungekürzt.

La PJ s'intéresse de près aux victimes et à leur lien privilégié avec le propriétaire de l'Empire, une boîte de nuit où viennent danser les VIP du monde entier. En pleine bulle Internet, mannequins, banquiers, politiciens, journalistes se croisent dans une ambiance hédoniste sur fond de musique techno. Dans un tel contexte, les meurtres du DJ le plus en vue de l'Empire et de son amie, par ailleurs soeur de la commissaire Clémentine Roussel de la brigade des stups, ne pouvaient passer inaperçus. Au prix de bien des efforts, Clémentine intègre cette enquête qui l'obligera à affronter son passé douloureux. Ayant réussi à démêler un écheveau de trafic en tout genre, elle obtient des informations troublantes sur le financement d'une organisation terroriste encore ignorée des services secrets occidentaux. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Par une écriture sans fioriture, guidée par le sens de l'action, Sylvain Ansoux veut sous couvert de roman policier, d'espionnage et d'aventure capturer les bribes d'une époque pas si lointaine, puisqu'il s'agit du début des années 2000, mais qui nous semble presque étrangère...

    Reversible Errors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 890min
    Rommy "Squirrel" Gandolph is a Yellow Man, an inmate on death row for a 1991 triple murder in Kindle County. His slow progress toward certain execution is nearing completion when Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer who is Rommy's reluctant court-appointed representative, receives word that another inmate may have new evidence that will exonerate Gandolph. Arthur's opponent in the case is Muriel Wynn, Kindle County's formidable chief deputy prosecuting attorney, who is considering a run for her boss' job. Muriel and Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, don't want to see Rommy escape a fate they long ago determined he deserved. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Gillian Sullivan, the judge who originally found Rommy guilty, is only recently out of prison herself, having served time for taking bribes. Scott Turow's compelling, multidimensional characters take the listener into Kindle County's parallel yet intersecting worlds of police and small-time crooks, airline executives and sophisticated scammers and lawyers of all stripes. No other writer offers such a profound understanding of what is at stake when the state holds the power to end a man's life.Listen to a conversation with Scott Turow. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Woman's Hour , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 988min
    Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have ratified the 19th Amendment, 12 have rejected or refused to vote and one last state is needed. It all comes down to Tennessee, the moment of truth for the suffragists, after a seven-decade crusade. The opposing forces include politicians with careers at stake, liquor companies, railroad magnates and a lot of racists who don't want black women voting. And then there are the 'Antis' - women who oppose their own enfranchisement, fearing suffrage will bring about the moral collapse of the nation. They all converge in a boiling hot summer for a vicious face-off replete with dirty tricks, betrayals and bribes, bigotry, Jack Daniel's and the Bible.  Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective forces into battle, along with appearances by Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Frederick Douglass and Eleanor Roosevelt, The Woman's Hour is an inspiring story of activists winning their own freedom in one of the last campaigns forged in the shadow of the American Civil War, and the beginning of the great 20th-century battles for civil rights. ungekürzt.
