    Uniform Justice, Hörbuch, Digital, 169min
    In Uniform Justice, a young cadet has been found hanged, a presumed suicide, in Venice's elite military academy. Brunetti's sorrow for the boy, so close in age to his own son, is rivalled only by his contempt for a community that is more concerned with protecting the reputation of the school, and its privileged students, than with finding the truth. The young man's father is a doctor and former politician. He is a man of an impeccable integrity who inexplicably avoids talking to the police. As Brunetti pursues his inquiry, he is faced with a wall of silence. Is the military protecting its own? Or has Brunetti uncovered a conspiracy far more sinister than that of a single death?

    Vivaldi's Girls , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
    Antonio Vivaldi's music has mesmerized audiences for 300 years. A less-known story than his musical genius was the impressive figure that he was in Venetian society; the young, red-haired prodigy could make women swoon with the sweeping grandeur of his violin performances - especially after he traded in his priest's robes for the dashing attire of a celebrity. Through the words of his lifelong friend, Domenico Trapensi, Vivaldi's Girls tells the mesmerizing story of Vivaldi's time as a music teacher at Venice's Conservatorio, of those who fell for more than just his violin lessons, and of his romancing of other girls on the road to the Italian cities in his time. "Vivaldi's Girls is a rich period piece. This novella isn't short on what makes a captivating tale. Rosano's research is unmistakable in the vivid descriptions and details that bring to life Vivaldi's music and affairs and the beauty of 18th-century Venice." (Ambassador Magazine) ungekürzt.
