Strange Affair: A Novel of Suspense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 793min
Chief Inspector Alan Banks faces his most personal case, from New York Times best-selling author Peter Robinson. A bullet to the brain abruptly halted a terrified young woman's desperate flight. In her pocket is the name of a policeman whose own life was brutally invaded, mercilessly shaken, and very nearly erased - a policeman who has since gone missing. The dead woman in the car had been running from something - but she didn't run far or fast enough. Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot would like to question the man the victim was apparently racing to meet: Annie's superior - and former lover - Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks. But Banks has vanished into the anonymous chaos of the city, drawn into a mad whirl of greed, inhumanity, and death by a frantic phone call from the brother he no longer knows. Banks is unaware that the threads connecting a sinister kidnapping with a savage slaying are as thick as rope...and long enough for a haunted and broken rogue cop to hang himself. One of his most clever, twisting thrillers, Strange Affair attests once again why listeners love and can't get enough of Peter Robinson's novels of suspense. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The End of the Line , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min
It’s the winter of 1884, and five hundred Canadian Pacific Rail workers have halted their push through the Rockies at Holt City, an isolated shantytown in the shadow of the Continental Divide. The men are tired and cold, and patience is as scarce as the rationed food. Then, Deek Penner, a CPR section boss, is brutally murdered at the end of the track. His body is found frozen on the banks of the Bow River. Durrant Wallace, a veteran of the celebrated March West by the North West Mounted Police a decade earlier, is returned to active duty to investigate the murder. Durrant lost his leg in a gun battle with whiskey traders three years previous, and he struggles with being a Mounted Police officer who cannot ride. When Durrant arrives, Holt City is ripe with possible suspects: illegal whiskey smugglers, spies for rival railways, explosives dealers and a mysterious Member of Parliament who insists on getting his meddling fingers into everybody else’s business. Durrant must use his cunning and determination to discover to identify the killer before he finds his next victim and derails the great Canadian national dream in the process. ungekürzt.

Jackals’ Revenge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 602min
This sequel to The Black Jackals is set in the turmoil of the eastern Mediterranean in 1941, with the Brits struggling to hold their line in Greece against the powerful German and Italian forces. Peter Lamb and his men are halted in their retreat to England and forced to join the British forces holding the pass at Thermopylae. But their tough experiences in France have not prepared The Jackals for the savage hand-to-hand fighting through the mountains. Lamb’s limited knowledge of command leaves him unsure about how to organise the New Zealand and Greek partisan soldiers who are added to his troop. When they land in Crete, Lamb becomes suspicious of some of the civilians who, on fleeing from Greece, have taken cover with the Jackals. Yet he knows that facing the awesome German paratroopers for the first time, combined with the desperate battle to hold Crete at all costs, will force him to find a way to work alongside any support he is offered. His new troop will be made up of partisans, allied irregulars - including Evelyn Waugh - and Spanish volunteers. Jackals’ Revenge paints a brilliant picture of the turbulent theatre of war. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Thorne.

State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, Hörbuch, Digital, 306min
Pat Buchanan is sounding the alarm. Since 9/11, more than four million illegal immigrants have crossed our borders, and there are more coming every day. Our leaders in Washington lack the political will to uphold the rule of law. The Melting Pot is broken beyond repair, and the future of our nation is at stake. In this important audiobook, Pat Buchanan reveals that, slowly but surely, the great American Southwest is being reconquered by Mexico. These lands are being detached ethnically, linguistically, and culturally from the United States by a deliberate policy of the Mexican regime. Unless the invasion is halted now, Buchanan argues, America will become a country unrecognizable to our parents, what Theodore Roosevelt warned against when he said we must never let America become "a polyglot boardinghouse" for the world. Laying out a sweeping immigration reform and border security plan, State of Emergency is essential listening for all Americans. With an estimated 10 to 15 million "illegals" already here and tens of millions more poised to pour across our borders, few audiobooks could be as timely or important. Language: English.

Come Get Me Mother, I'm Through! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
The moment Kim Curry stepped into a radio station in high school, he knew he was destined to work in the industry. At the height of popularity for radio stations and DJs in the '70s and '80s, Curry blazed a trail for himself as “Kid” Curry. His iconic “Bed Check” segment helped propel him to star status in Miami. It followed him during his 20-year path to the dream job of Major Market program director. The perks of the job included hanging out with music legends, being invited to the White House, meeting Johnny U and a Watergate burglar, traveling around the world to find the next “number one” song and, the best part, helping listeners in need. Life was on track, but, multiple sclerosis had other plans. Curry dismissed the early signs of the disease and continued with his optimistic outlook, until a fateful round of golf led to the diagnosis that halted a lifelong career and extinguished his dreams. But attitude is everything. With the love and support of his incredible Cuban wife and her assurance of “We got this, Papi”, Curry embraced this new challenge and shows us that life can be good even in the face of adversity. ungekürzt.
