Marty Gecko and the Banker's Daughter: A Marty Gecko Mysteries, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
“I need you to find my daughter. She’s been missing for eight months.”If you’re a cop, you don’t want to hear those words because eight months means there’s no hope at all. If you’re a private detective, you might like those words because parents will keep you in billable hours for a long time. On any given Thursday, though, you don’t want to hear those words if you’re a private detective like Marty Gecko. Thursday’s aren’t work days. Thursdays are drinking days.Besides, Marty doesn’t like real cases. He takes cases like cheating spouses, tracking out debtors who skip town and catching employees stealing from the register. Those are easy cases. They don’t take any time at all and that means he has plenty of time left over for the important things in life, important things like good single malt scotch and...well, that’s all that’s really important in Marty’s life at the moment. After all, what good is co-owning a bar if you don’t get to drink the good stuff?Co-owning. That’s the real problem. It’s hard to blow off a case when Bobbi stares at him the way she does and wiggles her rear end the way she does and makes comments the way she does and keeps being Bobbi the way she does. He doesn’t want the case but he’ll take it and no matter how much he’d rather find his way through a fifth or two of the best the Highlands have to offer; he won’t be able to set it aside until Sandra Knockee gets home or gets justice.Maybe just one glass first. Make it a tall glass. Damned cases shouldn’t start on Thursdays.Have a look inside:Clearly, the Father above appreciates my sense of humor and attention to detail because Heaven waited for me on my desk.Heaven in this case was the still one-quarter full bottle of eighteen-year single malt scotch, and I showed remarkable restraint (out of respect for the aforementioned Father) and used the glass still on the desk instead of drinking right out of the bottle. It went down smooth, and I ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neill Thorne. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/174659/bk_acx0_174659_sample.mp3.

True Detectives: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 739min
In Jonathan Kellerman's gripping novels, the city of Los Angeles is as much a living, breathing character as the heroes and villains who roam its labyrinthine streets. Sunny on the surface but shadowy beneath, this world of privilege and pleasure has a dark core and a dangerous edge. In True Detectives, Kellerman skillfully brings his renowned gifts for breathless suspense and sharp psychological insight to a tale that resonates on every level and satisfies at every turn. Bound by blood but divided by troubles as old as Cain and Abel, Moses Reed and Aaron Fox were first introduced in Kellerman's best-selling Bones. They are sons of the same strong-willed mother, and their respective fathers were cops, partners, and friends. Their turbulent family history has set them at odds, despite their shared calling. Moses, part Boy Scout, part bulldog, man of few words, is a no-frills LAPD detective. Aaron, sharp dresser and smooth operator, is an ex-cop turned high-end private eye. Usually they go their separate ways. But the disappearance of Caitlin Frostig isn't usual. For Moses, it's an ice-cold mystery he just can't outrun, even with the help of psychologist Alex Delaware and detective Milo Sturgis. For Aaron, it's a billable-hours bonanza from his most lucrative client. Like it or not, Moses and Aaron are in this one together and the rivalry that rules them won't let either man quit till the case is cracked. A straight-arrow, straight-A student from Malibu, Caitlin has only two men in her life: her sullen single father and her wholesome college sweetheart, who even the battling brothers agree seems too downright upright to be true. Reluctantly tag-teaming in a desperate search for fresh leads, Moses and Aaron zero in on Caitlin's white knight as their primary person of interest, hoping that, like most people in L.A., he has a secret side. But they uncover more than just a secret as they descend into the sinister, seamy side of the City of A ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Rubinstein.
