The Dewey Decimal System: A Dewey Decimal Novel (Dewey Decimal, Book 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 450min
This tale of a book-loving tough guy in a decimated Manhattan is “like Motherless Brooklyn dosed with Charlie Huston.... Delirious and haunting” (Megan Abbott, author of Give Me Your Hand).After a flu pandemic, a large-scale terrorist attack, and the total collapse of Wall Street, New York City is reduced to a shadow of its former self. As the city struggles to dig itself out of the wreckage, a nameless, obsessive-compulsive veteran with a spotty memory, a love for literature, and a strong if complex moral code (that doesn’t preclude acts of extreme violence) has taken up residence at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Forty-Second Street.Dubbed “Dewey Decimal” for his desire to reorganize the library’s stock, he gets by as bagman and muscle for New York City’s unscrupulous district attorney. He takes no pleasure in this kind of civic dirty work. He’d be perfectly content alone among his books. But this is not in the cards, as the DA calls on Dewey for a seemingly straightforward union-busting job.What unfolds throws Dewey into a mess of danger, shifting allegiances, and old vendettas, forcing him to face the darkness of his own past and the question of his buried identity....“The Dewey Decimal System is proof positive that the private detective will remain a serious and seriously enjoyable literary archetype.” (PopMatters) ungekürzt.

In Bed with Susie Bright 474: The Bagman and the Senator: A Sexual Affair Everyone Had to Pay For, Hörbuch, Digital, 37min, (USK 18)
Susie tells us about a scandalous story that includes secret gay lovers, bribery, conspiracy, and good old-fashioned hit men! Sounds like a made-for-TV movie, but no - this is a real-life sex-crime story that took place in Brooklyn. The sleazy characters included Carl Kruger, a secretly gay New York State representative and Richard Lipsky, a state lobbyist. Now, we're all used to politicians being bought and sold, but Kruger's vote last year against permitting gay marriage now seems suspect. Looks like around a million-dollar bribe allegedly influenced how this Democrat voted to kill gay marriage. Next, Susie has some hot new audiobooks out on the market. She's been busy recording many of her classic stories, and now they're available. Today, Susie plays a sample from her titles How to Write a Dirty Story and Sexwise. Then, in our "Tell Me Your Sex Story" segment, Susie speaks with "Jasmine", a willing listener who bears her soul in our ongoing series of listener sex interviews. Jasmine says she's a newly single and newly slutty gal. The conversation includes a killer description of what image comes to mind when you need to have the best orgasm. It's so sexy, you'll want to try it yourself. Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

The Nervous System: A Dewey Decimal Novel (Dewey Decimal, Book 2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
This detective story set in a dystopian New York stars “a seriously weird dude... A good time for fans of the likes of Charlie Huston and Charles Stross” (Kirkus Reviews).Nicknamed Dewey Decimal for his obsessive attempts to bring order to the New York Public Library in the wake of disastrous events in the city, the hero of this series earns his keep as a bagman and enforcer for unscrupulous politicians and underworld figures. Now, he’s stumbled upon information concerning the gruesome murder of a prostitute that involves a prominent US senator - and finds himself chasing ghosts and fighting for his life, pursued by private military contractors and the ever-present specter of his own past....“Larson’s vividly imagined world and his quirky narrator are likely to win him a cadre of loyal fans.” (Publishers Weekly)“This intellectual giddy riot is the book of the year... The mystery is taken to a whole new level of technospeak artistry, and wonderfully witty, like John Kennedy Toole if he’d written a mystery novel and did meth - a lot of it. The warmth of the character seeps through in Dewey Decimal’s love for a devastated New York... The most original PI since Marlowe. OCD never seemed so compelling. Loved it - and then some. What a writer.” (Ken Bruen, author of Headstone)“I’m a sucker for a postapocalyptic setting, and Nathan Larson’s is a doozy; but the real gold here is the voice. I could listen to this guy all day.” (S. J. Rozan, Edgar Award-winning author of the Bill Smith/Lydia Chin series) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: JD Jackson.

8th Confession: Women's Murder Club, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min
Behind the closed doors of San Fransisco's grandest mansions, beautiful people party the nights away in a heady mix of money, drugs, drink and sex. But the rich and famous aren't the only ones with the keys to these most exclusive of addresses, someone else is intent on crashing the party. A rock star, a fashion designer, a software tycoon, and a millionaire heiress. Each is glamorous, stunningly attractive and incredibly rich, but their similarities don't end there, they have something else in common too. They are all dead. Just as the rich and famous are the talk of the town when they're alive, interest in them certainly doesn't die when they do. In stark contrast, few people seem as interested when a local hero, Bagman Jesus, is brutally murdered. Reporter Cindy soon becomes interested in his story: his work with the homeless of San Fransisco was admirable. He was loved by so many - who would want to kill him? Could the down-and-out Samaritan have been hiding a dark secret? And of course it isn't just Lindsey who has questions to answer, she fiercely depends on Claire's help to crack her case. Meanwhile, as Cindy tries to solve a mystery of her own, she seeks guidance from her friends, but in doing so, both Cindy and Lindsey are forced to confront feelings they'd buried away, and Yuki falls quite literally head over heels in love - but the man of her dreams isn't quite who he seems. The Women's Murder Club need each other more than ever, but with tensions running high, will the friends be strong enough to stick together - or will the strain tear them apart? ungekürzt.
