Crossfire: Nick Stone, Book 10, Hörbuch, Digital, 169min
Bodyguarding a TV crew on the streets of war-torn Basra, ex-deniable operator Nick Stone seems certain to die when insurgent gunmen attack. Only the reporter's swift action saves his life. When the reporter vanishes within hours, presumed kidnapped, Stone is asked by the Intelligence Service to find him. The trail leads from Iraq to London, Dublin, and ultimately Kabul: the dark and brutal city where governments, terrorism, and big business inexorably collide. Caught in the crossfire, Stone's nightmare is only just beginning: for the hunter has suddenly become the hunted, in a heart-stopping race against time. Unrelentingly violent, harrowing, and chillingly graphic as it hurtles us towards a truly shocking climax, Nick Stone's 10th adventure is high-voltage, pulse-pounding, no-holds-barred McNab: prose so testosterone-drenched, action so blisteringly paced, it could only have been penned by the master thriller writer at his electrifying, un-put-downable best.

A spellbinding story of forbidden love. Three continents, three decades, three very disparate lives: Savitri, intuitive and charismatic, grows up among the servants of a pre-war English household in Madras. But the traditional customs of her Brahmin family clash against English upper-class prejudice, threatening her love for the privileged son of the house. Nataraj, raised as the son of an idealistic doctor in rural South India, finds life in London heady, with girls and grass easily available... until he is summoned back home to face raw reality. Saroj, her fire hidden by outward reserve, comes of age in Guyana, South America. When her strict, orthodox Hindu father goes one step too far, she finally rebels against him and even against her gentle, apparently docile Ma. But Ma harbors a deep secret, one that binds these three disparate lives and hurtles them toward a truth that could destroy their world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Flosnik.

When We Were Worthy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 551min
A win brought them together, but loss may tear them apart. When the sound of sirens cuts through a cool fall night, the small town of Worthy, Georgia, hurtles from triumph to tragedy. Just hours before, they'd watched the Wildcats score a winning touchdown. Now, they're faced with the deaths of three cheerleaders - their promising lives cut short in a fatal crash. And the boy in the other car - the only one to survive - is believed to be at fault. As rumors begin to fly and accusations spin, allegiances form and long-kept secrets emerge. At the center of the whirlwind are four women, each grappling with loss, regret, shame, and lies: Marglyn, a grieving mother; Darcy, whose son had been behind the wheel; Ava, a substitute teacher with a scandalous secret; and Leah, a cheerleader who should have been in the car with her friends, but wasn't. If the truth comes out, will it bring redemption - or will it be their downfall? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joshilyn Jackson.
