The Woodcarver's Secret , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 711min
For John Carver, a simple Celtic woodworker, life is a struggle to feed his family. Then one summer day, as he walks past a near-dead alder tree, lightning strikes. With the shattered tree lying all around him, Carver pulls himself up and decides to make the best of it - he takes the usable pieces to his workshop. From the shards of that dead tree John creates three boxes. Then the unexplained happens - shortly after handling one of them, John's touch brings his young son back from the brink of death. When the second box demonstrates an opposite tendency toward the dark side, Carver is terrified that witch-hunters will learn of the boxes and their mystical powers. Eager to rid himself of the artifacts and desperate for money, he sells the three boxes. As they are taken by three very different buyers - a common Englishman, a worldly merchant, and a bishop - John feels a foreboding about the future. From the 13th century, the boxes travel the world, eventually drawing the attention of two rival organizations, each with very different motives and methods for gaining what they want. Reminiscent of The Red Violin in scope, this historical novel follows the three boxes to the 21st century and confrontation between the two factions. The Woodcarver's Secret is the prequel and companion novel to Connie Shelton's Samantha Sweet paranormal mystery series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Bates.

Hear No Evil, Hörbuch, Digital, 316min
Miami attorney Jack Swyteck is involved in the most explosive criminal trial of his career, a case that starts with a murder on a military base and concludes with a shocking surprise that will change Jack's life forever. A beautiful woman comes to see Jack and begs him to represent her. She says she's about to be arrested for the murder of her husband, an officer stationed at Guantanamo Bay. Having no expertise in military law and sensing that the woman isn't telling him the entire truth, Jack turns her down. Then she drops a bombshell: She claims she's the adoptive mother of Jack's biological son, a child he's never met. Either Jack must represent her or he'll never see the boy. So Jack agrees, but with great foreboding. The woman is an unreliable client, a blackmailer who just might be a murderer, and he has to travel to Gitmo and on to Havana to tussle with people who clearly have a lot to hide.

In signature Grippando style, Hear No Evil is an intricate, fast-paced, and captivating thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. Language: English. Narrator: Campbell Scott.

White Choctaw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
Two early 19th century Methodist missionaries ventured out into Choctaw territory from Memphis, Tennessee. They were never seen again. Others tried entering from the Tombigbee River. They did return but vowed to never again go there. Still another tried but returned after two years with nothing to show for his efforts.Alexander Talley - missionary, minister, physician - proved to be a very special missionary; he was uniquely qualified and fully prepared to take the Gospel of Jesus westward to the Indians and the adventurous settlers.Alexander saddled his horse, loaded his belongings - pack, tent, books - and praying earnestly, "Lord, if you have confidence in calling me to do this work, I have confidence you will show me the way," he crossed the river into a dark, foreboding forest. Riding westward, he wondered how he could bring love, hope, and salvation to people who did not know him, could not read a Bible, and did not speak his language. Alexander had been singled out as the only man who stood a chance of accomplishing this daunting mission.This is Alexander Talley’s story: how he rode a circuit covering more than 400 miles, held camp meetings for Indians and white settlers, won more than 3,200 converts to Christianity, and faithfully shepherded people desperately in need of compassionate leadership in the face of encroaching greed and malice. ungekürzt.

Leaflings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 646min
Leaflings... A wonderful trilogy tale about the tiny leafy stick-like creatures of the forest. In the medieval times when trolls and wizards still lurked near the cities of man, cozy castles and monasteries stood tall to war and treachery.

Warriors, Castle Ravens, and kind-hearted monks all fight for Cobblestone and for the Leafling realm of Tal Kator. Eerie and foreboding rhymes foretell much of Cobblestone's future and the cities of man and beast will be forced to endure the outcome of what was once written in the Prophesy Rhymes of old. Welcome to the old city of Cobblestone. Pray along with the tender-hearted monk, Jon, and sing along with the sweetest of harmonies of young Gwendolyn of Cobblestone Castle.

Undermajordomo Minor: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
From the best-selling, Man Booker-shortlisted author of The Sisters Brothers comes a brilliant and boisterous novel that reimagines the folk tale. A love story, an adventure story, a fable without a moral, and an ink-black comedy of manners, Undermajordomo Minor is Patrick deWitt's long-awaited follow-up to the internationally best-selling and critically acclaimed novel The Sisters Brothers. Lucien (Lucy) Minor is the resident odd duck in the bucolic hamlet of Bury. Friendless and loveless, young and aimless, Lucy is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for producing brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the Majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as Undermajordomo, Lucy soon discovers the place harbors many dark secrets, not least of which is the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. He also encounters the colorful people of the local village - thieves, madmen, aristocrats, and Klara, a delicate beauty whose love he must compete for with the exceptionally handsome soldier, Adolphus. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder in which every aspect of human behavior is laid bare for our hero to observe. Undermajordomo Minor is an adventure, a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behavior, but above all it is a love story, and Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing. ungekürzt.

Mercy's Magic: The Mercedes Cruz Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 211min
Mercedes Cruz is a Bruja - or Witch, in Spanish. Just like many first generation sons and daughters of immigrant parents, Mercy has embraced America, its culture, and its customs in their entirety. But Brujeria or Mexican Witchcraft is deeply tied with Mercy's heritage and her family's past, and because she's neglected such a large chunk of her identity, Mercy now stands a stunted witch in her 30's. Mercy, also a single mother of five-year-old Terra, who may also share her attributes, has decided to start her own private investigation firm in the heart of Orange County, California. She's decided to use her budding talents to recruit business, solve challenging cases, and help those in the community who lack a voice and who may be too afraid to report crimes due to their legal status - leaving criminals to freely exploit those who choose to live in the shadows. In this introduction to the Mercedes Cruz series, Mercy's Magic, our budding detective and witch takes on a case near and dear to her heart. A family friend and her ex-husband's best and most trusted employee has gone missing. While investigating his disappearance, Mercy soon finds out the consequences of neglecting the tutelage of her Aunt Itzel throughout the years, a great and powerful Bruja in her own right. Mercy learns a life-changing lesson when she encounters a mysterious and foreboding being, whose dark and brooding powers dwarf her unrealized potential. ungekürzt. Language: English.

That all changes when Jack and Ivy discover a body in a corn maze and Ivy is overcome by a dark foreboding that renders her unconscious. After sitting vigil, Jack is relieved when Ivy opens her eyes. He's not bothered - only curious - when she tells him what happened. As she recovers, Ivy realizes she's seeing through a killer's eyes.

Between affairs, a grieving pregnant mother, and two families that can't stop pointing their fingers at each other, Jack and Ivy have their hands full. Ivy's new ability is something to adjust to, but a killer's vengeance is something far, far worse. When Ivy realizes that the killer knows she's been watching, she goes from an observer to a target.
