    The Queen of Bedlam (eBook, ePUB)
    "Historical NYC is [the] setting for this superb serial killer thriller," from the New York Times-bestselling author of Speaks the Nightbird (Fresh Fiction). Manhattan, 1702. A bustling colonial town, New York is starting to see a rise in crime that is overtaking its fledgling law enforcement, namely a ragtag collection of constables whose job is mainly breaking up drunken tavern brawls and domestic squabbles. After saving a woman from a witch-hanging in the southern colonies, magistrate's clerk Matthew Corbett finds himself back in New York, driven by his obsession to bring justice to the abusive headmaster of the orphanage where he was raised. Familiar with the dark side of human nature, Corbett is still shocked to find a throat-slashing killer stalking the nighttime streets, one who leaves cuts in the flesh around the victims' eyes. Targeting some of the town's prominent citizens, "The Masker" has all of New York on edge. And Corbett's career takes a surprising turn that allows him to match wits with the killer, uncovering connections between the victims that will lead him straight into the shadowy recesses of the mind-and the blighted heart of a shocking conspiracy . . . "The hero of Robert McCammon's saga of colonial witch hunts, Speaks the Nightbird, returns to track a serial killer in 18th-century New York . . . A good book for a winter storm." -Entertainment Weekly "[A] spellbinding sequel to Speaks the Nightbird. . . . McCammon brilliantly captures colonial New York and closes with a tantalizing cliffhanger that suggests more exciting sleuthing to come." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    A Night of Blacker Darkness: Being the Memoir of Frederick Whithers As Edited by Cecil G. Bagsworth III , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 378min
    EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE IN AUDIONo one else has Dan Wells’ hilarious new novella - it’s not available in print, in ebook, by mobile phone text or Victorian phonograph. Audible is bringing it to you exclusively, for a limited time.The basic premise is this: it's 1817, and a man named Frederick Whithers is wallowing in jail for a crime he didn't commit, desperate to get out so he can go and commit it for real. He fakes his own death and escapes in a coffin, but when he gets to the graveyard and crawls out of the coffin, somebody sees him and assumes he's a vampire. It's pretty much all downhill from there. Frederick spends the rest of the book doing everything he can to steal a massive inheritance from a dead man, all the while running from constables, vampire hunters, ghouls, poets, proper young ladies, highly improper young ladies, morticians, mysterious figures, and the most pathetic collection of vampires to ever disgrace a work of fiction.The book is Extremely Silly: imagine a horror story, as written by Monty Python, in the style of the old screwball comedies like The Producers, What's Up Doc?, and Some Like it Hot, and then imagine that for some reason it's also in the style of a Victorian frame story starring John Keats and presented by a fake historian. A delightfully funny novel full of witty dialogue brought to life by the narrative voice talents of Sean Barrett. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Barrett.

    Dekker's Dozen: The Last Watchmen , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
    Following the Intergalactic Singularity War, Dekker Knight, mercenary and collector of arcane artifacts, works for the highest bidder - but he doesn't take just any job. One in particular, transporting Austicon - the assassin who stalked his family for generations - to a max-lock detention, was supposed to close a dark chapter in Dekker's life. After Earth's constables botch Austicon's incarceration, Dekker's team is forced to hunt down the galaxies' most heinous criminal all over again when a mysterious man claiming to be an ancient, time-traveling prophet intrudes on them. Ezekiel claims Dekker will soon annihilate of all reality - and he knows all of Dekker's secrets: that he wields an ancient, celestial weapon, was once married to a terrorist, and is the last member of the Watchmen - an ancient secret society with roots tracing back to Solomon. Following Austicon's theft of a superweapon, Dekker and his team must do the unthinkable to prevent the Earth's annihilation. Worse yet, a demon-possessed tree is attempting to bring "the divine engines of reality" to a grinding halt, destroying all of existence with the death of the planet, annihilating all that is, will be, and ever was! Steampunk time-travel, cyborg ninjas, deep space unicorn zombies, ghostly rocket-ships, and star destroying Hassidic superweapons converge in one epic story! How long can The Dozen escape death, and how far can Dekker go to in defiance of fate and pursuit of love before his actions break the universe? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Voices from the Blue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
    In February 1919, London's first women police officers took to the streets of the city. They battled entrenched gender stereotypes, institutional inequality, sexual harassment and assaults disturbingly familiar to those affecting today's #MeToo generation of modern women. Female officers, facing resentment from male colleagues, were expected to do little more than 'Make the tea, luv...' and were charged with the sole task of looking after women and children who fell into police hands.Yet, in the course of a century, policewomen have won the equality they demanded, overcome sexism and prejudice, rejected harassment and sexual assaults and smashed through the glass ceiling to lead, rather than follow, their male colleagues. One hundred years on from those first Women Police Constables, a woman, Cressida Dick, holds the most powerful position in British policing, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner.Voices from the Blue tells the story of the hundred years of service of female police officers within the Metropolitan Police through the voices of the women who fought their way towards equality and won the respect of both their colleagues and the public. The authors have interviewed hundreds of former and serving policewomen and with the co-operation of the Metropolitan Police and the Women's Police Association now have access to the files and stories of thousands of former officers who served over the past hundred years. Those police archives, together with material held by the National Archives and private libraries, provide a detailed and fascinating oral history of the challenges women police officers faced down the years. ungekürzt.
