    Beneath the water the body sank rapidly. She would lie still and undisturbed for many years, but above her on dry land, the nightmare was just beginning. When Detective Erika Foster receives a tip-off that key evidence for a major narcotics case was stashed in a disused quarry on the outskirts of London, she orders for it to be searched. From the thick sludge the drugs are recovered, but so is the skeleton of a young child. The remains are quickly identified as seven-year-old Jessica Collins. The missing girl who made headline news 26 years ago. As Erika tries to piece together new evidence with the old, she must dig deeper and find out more about the fractured Collins family and the original detective, Amanda Baker - a woman plagued by her failure to find Jessica. Erika soon realizes this is going to be one of the most complex and demanding cases she has ever taken on. Is the suspect someone close to home? Someone is keeping secrets. Someone who doesn't want this case solved. And they'll do anything to stop Erika from finding the truth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jan Cramer.

    Bank Job , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
    May 2019. In the shadow of the towers of London’s financial heart, Canary Wharf, a golden Ford transit van explodes. After years of planning, this is the final act that cancels more than $1.5 million of high interest "toxic debt" for one London community. Bank Job is a white-knuckle ride into the dark heart of the global financial system. Discover how art hacks life as artist and filmmaker duo Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn bring a community together to buy up and abolish crippling debt by printing their own money in a disused bank in East London. Behind the opaque language of loans and the defunct diagrams of debt, they discover a system flawed by design and ripe for hacking.Part daring tale, part personal memoir, and part financial education, Bank Job shares reflections of the authors’ own experiences of debt. It examines the wider impact of a society that, for generations, has entangled the concept of money with personal identity. And for those brave enough among us, it offers a real way to change the system to meet the needs of the many, not just the few - one bank job at a time. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Amish Heroine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
    Katie Beiler was always on the outside of community life. The community was a large one and skirted a local Englischer village, and a large disused quarry. Once a week she would delight in going with Isaac to the local village to get supplies and watching the Englischers go about their daily routine, and if time, maybe even having a coffee with Isaac before returning home again. Katie also loved taking long walks out of the community and through the woods to the quarry edge. She loved the contrast between the dense dark wooded area and the huge open space of the old quarry. One day as she walked out through the woods to the quarry edge she heard a sobbing, and on reaching the open sheer edge of the quarry she found Eli standing on the edge of a large drop, sobbing as if he had no hope left. Katie sternly assured him of Gods love for him.... And also of her own feelings for him. Would Eli step away from the edge? Could they find approval for their relationship from the elders?Contains a few Amish words and phrases. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Catherine Anne.

    In this James-Bond-meets-real-world thriller, MI5 man Lucas Norton once again finds himself caught up in a high-stakes assault when a sniper in a powerboat takes a pot-shot at his family.

Now he and his crack team over at GCHQ have only a few days to figure out what the stolen tech can do and where the thieves have gone. It's a search that takes them from London's secret underground railway to a disused WW2 bunker, the FBI's Black Hawk launch bay, the US Embassy and the very heart of MI5. Can Lucas's team stop a brilliantly executed plot to hold the populations of London and New York to ransom?

    The Bloody Tower: Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries, Book 16 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
    In early 1925, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher - recent mother of twins - resumes her journalistic career by agreeing to write a piece about the Tower of London - the Bloody Tower - for an American magazine. Invited to observe the centuries-old ritual Ceremony of the Keys, she's spending the night (her first time away from her babies), since the complex is locked and guarded, and the high walls are surrounded by a disused moat. Having been given a tour of the Crown Jewels, interviewed and observed the Yeoman Warders, and met the Raven Master, Daisy has more than enough material for her article and decides to leave as early as possible the next morning to return to her family. But when walking down the stairs, she almost trips over the dead body of one of the Yeoman Warders. That there's something seriously amiss cannot be denied due to the pike sticking out of his back. With her husband, Scotland Yard DCI Alec Fletcher, assigned to resolve the case, Daisy once again finds herself in the middle of a case of murder most foul. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A little boy turns the perfect crime into a work of art. Dylan is the only boy living in the tiny Welsh town of Manod. His parents run the Snowdonia Oasis Auto Marvel garage - and when he's not trying to persuade his sisters to play football, Dylan is in charge of the petrol log. And that means he gets to keep track of everyone coming in and out of Manod - what car they drive, what they're called, even their favourite flavour of crisps. But when a mysterious convoy of lorries trundles up the misty mountainside towards an old, disused mine, even Dylan is confounded. Who are these people - and what have they got to hide? A story inspired by a press cutting describing how, during WWII, the treasured contents of London's National Gallery were stored in Welsh slate mines. Once a month, a morale-boosting masterpiece would be unveiled in the village and then returned to London for viewing. This is a funny and touching exploration of how Art - its beauty and its value - touches the life of one little boy and his big family in a very small town. ungekürzt. Language: English.
