The Spectral Strangler: Secret Agent X #2 March 1934 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 278min
Silent, horrible as the crushing coils of a serpent were those unseen fingers that blotted out men's lives. A criminal of satanic proportions had risen - the "Black Master", whose victims fell with livid, hideous faces and protruding tongues that seemed a ghastly mockery of the fate they had suffered. Along this terrible murder trail Secret Agent "X" gambled with the Dice of Death. His true face unknown, his identity forever buried in a secret government file, Secret Agent "X" came back from the dead to take on the sinister sadists and evil extortionists who prey on innocent Americans. A master of disguise who carries a non-lethal gas gun, "X" the unknown is backed by a cabal of wealthy citizens and is answerable only to the shadowy K-9 in Washington. In his second recorded case, "The Spectral Strangler", the Man of Mystery is drawn into a chain of horror when his mentor from their Federal days, Bill Scanlon, is slain by a ghostly, disembodied strangler. How does this grisly crime connect with the disappearance of a chemist working for the Army's Chemical Warfare branch? What was Scanlon investigating that motived his killer to snuff out his life? The trail of purpled-faced corpses points toward a shadowy mastermind known only as the Black Master. Through webs of horror "X" plunges, aided by Herald reporter Betty Dale and dogged every step of the way by Inspector John Burks, seeking to solve the wave of inexplicable deaths and avenge the slaying of his old friend. But does an invisible noose hang waiting at the end of the trail, to seize his naked throat in its gallows grip? "The Spectral Strangler" originally appeared in Secret Agent "X" magazine, in March 1934, and is read by Milton Bagby. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milton Bagby.

Tools of the Trade , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
Sex can be the means to an end, but what happens at the end of the means? A heart-warming tale of alpha males facing a precipitous slide - for beta or for worse. Woody Steele is one of the richest men on the planet. Sadly one of his greatest assets has been recently downsized - sorry Casanova. Ivan Greenbriar, his fellow billionaire nemesis and creep extraordinaire, turns every activity into a pissing contest even when he’s alone. Sargent Scanlon, a hero cop solely on the merits of getting shot in the nuts, doesn’t know what fear is until he must match wits with his odious 14-year-old stepdaughter - she’s a crime against humanity. Meanwhile, looking down from above is Colonel Pavlenko, the world’s oldest practicing Stalinist (mutually assured destruction anyone?). This is a real-time, real-world story about manly men - and their women, women who are ready to break through the glass ceiling, even if they have to use their mates as battering rams. ungekürzt.

Takedown: Taming John Wesley Hardin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 715min, (USK 18)
Few Texans believe the notorious gunman, John Wesley Hardin, who has killed more than 30 men over a 10-year period, will ever be captured; but on a fall day in 1878, he enters the Huntsville prison to serve a 25-year sentence for murder. Witnessing the arrival is convict Garland Quick who, though he's sworn to never again love a desperado, is immediately taken with the handsome 25-year-old killer. When the two men are thrown together at work in the wheelwright shop, a relationship begins, and Gar is drawn into Hardin's escape attempt, only to pay a price for its failure. Complicating things is lifer Jim Scanlon, Gar's cellmate and sexual partner, who, unlike most others, does not look kindly on the charismatic Hardin. As years pass, feelings deepen, yet Gar faces an unexpected challenge when Hardin takes up law study and lobbies for a pardon he just might get. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jerry L.

The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead than she'd like. Running all their daylight errands - from letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled O neg - gives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of vampire life. Her rules are strict; relationships with vamps are strictly business, not friendship - and certainly not anything else. But then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and only Iris can help. Cal - who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris allowed herself to think that way - offers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place until he figures out who wants him permanently dead. Even though he's imperious, unfriendly, and doesn't seem to understand the difference between "employee" and "servant", Iris agrees, and finds herself breaking more and more of her own rules to help him - particularly those concerning nudity. Turns out what her quiet little life needed was some intrigue and romance - in the form of her very own stray vampire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Ronconi.
