    Deadly Relations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
    In this crime fiction thriller, a serial killer of young women hides in plain sight in a quiet county in the Midwest. He hides behind a friendly face that inspires trust and a personality that is charming and persuasive - and has a rage to kill he can't control. Detective Jennifer Brennan, still haunted by her abduction five years before, devotes her life to serving and protecting others. So when three young women go missing in her small county in Indiana and are found murdered on her watch, she vows to find the killer - or die trying. A personal relationship with her partner, Detective Blake Stone, would be violating the strictest of the department's unspoken rules and career suicide, especially since she is the sheriff's daughter. But the connection Jennifer has with Blake is nothing short of electric. Working with him daily and denying her attraction is hard. But when he moves in to protect her, it becomes unbearable. As they fight temptation, two detectives race against time to find the killer before he strikes again. It is the most important case of their careers. It could be their last. ungekürzt.

    The Nº 2 Pencil: The War on Pedophilia: The Guardians, Book III , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 241min
    On Friday, June 21, Detective Simon Farge, chief investigator with the Plainsland Police Department's Missing Persons Division, opened an envelope, addressed in pencil and bearing no return address. The content of the envelope was a short letter, also written in pencil, on three-hole notebook paper. The handwriting appeared to be that of a child, still learning the art of cursive, and of course, unsigned. The note was short and to the point. "Dear Mr. Farge, Look for Sally Morgan in Overland Park in a trailer by the lake." There was no other writing on the paper. Simon placed the letter back in the envelope and opened the drawer of his desk that he had labeled "Crackpots". He glanced at the postmark that read Fort Collins, Colorado, and pitched the letter into the drawer, slamming it shut. After all, how could a letter from a kid over a thousand miles away have anything to do with anything at all? By July 6, he'd know the answer to that question, or at least part of the answer. It was perhaps, the biggest mistake of his career.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David K. Aycock. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/054584/bk_acx0_054584_sample.mp3.

    Booked for a Hanging: Dan Rhodes Mysteries, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 307min
    The versatile mystery novelist Bill Crider has created a pantheon of marvelous characters, but none is more real, warm, and thoroughly delightful than Sheriff Dan Rhodes of Blacklin County, Texas.In his sixth adventure, Rhodes is confronted with what seems at first to be a suicide: the body of a man newly arrived in the county is found hanged in the dilapidated building he has taken over for his business. Simon Graham was a rare-book dealer. If it seems unlikely to find such an arcane entrepreneur in this extremely rural and sparsely populated part of Texas, it becomes less strange when it turns out that Graham was more con man than bibliophile.The presumed suicide begins to look more and more like murder when several newcomers swoop down on the scene and try to beat out one another to find a reputedly valuable rare book that Graham was rumored to have among his collection of hardly worthwhile items.Although Rhodes' two attenuated and eccentric jailhouse employees have gone overboard for the magic of the department's new computer, the steady, if put-upon, Rhodes and his clear-eyed observations of human nature have invariably been more useful to the solution of a crime - and that is still true in the case of the hanged book dealer. ungekürzt.

    Blame It on the Mistletoe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 158min
    When physics grad student Fielding Monroe and skirt-chaser and football player Mick Colman become college housemates, they're both in for a whole new education. Mick looks out for the absent-minded genius, and he helps Fielding clean up his appearance and discover all the silly pleasures his strict upbringing as a child prodigy denied him. They become best friends. It's all well and good until they run into a cheerleader who calls Mick the "best kisser on campus". Fielding has never been kissed, and he decides Mick and only Mick can teach him how it's done. After all, the physics department's Christmas party is coming up with its dreaded mistletoe. Fielding wants to impress his peers and look cool for once in his life. The thing about Fielding is, once he locks onto an idea, it's almost impossible to get him to change his mind. And he just doesn't understand why his straight best friend would have a problem providing a little demonstration. Mick knows kissing is a dangerous game. If he gives in, it would take a miracle for the thing not to turn into a disaster. Then again, if the kissing lessons get out of hand, they can always blame it on the mistletoe. ungekürzt.

    Sex, Lies & STDs, Book 2: The Must Read Before You Swipe Right , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
    Americans are experts at swiping right - in just the last several years, they've made billions of online dating matches. But this accelerated online dating process must go hand in hand with an enlightened approach to sexually transmitted disease - currently over 147 million Americans have an STD, and only a minority of those persons are aware of their infection. Not surprisingly, STDs have recently increased dramatically. Sadly, only a handful of sexually active individuals practice effective STD prevention. Additionally, only a minority of STDs cause obvious symptoms and few symptom-free, sexually-active individuals submit to thorough STDs testing at regular intervals. Harvard educated lifestyle authority Dr. Robert Huizenga teams with internationally recognized UCLA infectious disease expert, Dr Jeffrey Klausner, who ran the San Francisco public health department's STD division, to set the record straight in this ground-breaking audiobook that everyone must listen before it's too late. This entertaining, first-ever compilation of the exact chance of catching an STD per sexual act is an addictive listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the start of AIDS to the end of pubic crabs. Best of all, it contains practical, never-before-published prevention tips that will forever change the way you approach dating, sex, and your life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Not a Crime to Be Poor: The Criminalization of Poverty in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
    In addition to exposing racially biased policing, the Justice Department's Ferguson Report exposed to the world a system of fines and fees levied for minor crimes in Ferguson, Missouri, that, when they proved too expensive for Ferguson's largely poor, African American population, resulted in jail sentences for thousands of people. As former staffer to Robert F. Kennedy and current Georgetown law professor Peter Edelman explains in Not a Crime to Be Poor, Ferguson is everywhere in America today. Through money bail systems, fees and fines, strictly enforced laws and regulations against behavior including trespassing and public urination that largely affect the homeless, and the substitution of prisons and jails for the mental hospitals that have traditionally served the impoverished, in one of the richest countries on Earth we have effectively made it a crime to be poor. Edelman, who famously resigned from the administration of Bill Clinton over welfare "reform," connects the dots between these policies and others including school discipline in poor communities, child support policies affecting the poor, public housing ordinances, addiction treatment, and the specter of public benefits fraud to paint a picture of a mean-spirited, retributive system that seals whole communities into inescapable cycles of poverty. ungekürzt.

    Survival of the Fittest: An Alex Delaware Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 369min
    When the slightly retarded 15-year-old daughter of a diplomat is murdered in cold blood on a school field trip in the Santa Monica Mountains, her father adamantly denies the possibility of a political motive. The Los Angeles Police Department's Detective Milo Sturgis and his longtime friend, psychologist Alex Delaware, pose the question: Why? The victim's father is so intent on controlling the investigation that Alex and Milo start to wonder if he wants to bring out the truth or make sure it stays buried. Then there is another killing, and within days Alex finds himself ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of his career. An obsessed killer, who takes as much pleasure in matching wits with the police as in robbing human life, all in the name of science, is still on the loose. Driven to find answers, Alex and Milo work closely with Inspector Daniel Sharavi, the brilliant Israeli police detective. In the end, though, it is Alex who will go undercover, alone, to expose the smug brutality of a murderous conspiracy and a terrifying contempt for human life. In Survival of the Fittest, Jonathan Kellerman draws one of the most chilling, frighteningly realistic portraits of evil you will ever listen to. Language: English. Narrator: John Rubinstein.

    Secrets of State , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 755min
    From a veteran insider with over 20 years' experience in the US Foreign Service comes a taut, insightful thriller of global intrigue and behind-the-scenes international politics. Sam Trainor's career of overseas work - coupled with a penchant for being outspoken - has left him on the outside of the competitive Washington establishment. Formerly the top South Asia expert in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Trainor has moved to the private sector, working as an analyst for the consulting firm Argus Systems. But Sam soon discovers that for all their similarities, the government and their hired contractors have vastly different motives. As he struggles to adjust to a more corporate, profit-driven version of the work that had been his life, he stumbles across an intelligence anomaly - the transcript of a phone conversation about the fastest ways to upend the delicate political balance keeping India and Pakistan from all-out war. Yet Sam knows that conversation can't have occurred - because he is having an affair with one of the alleged participants. As he digs into the source of this misinformation, he realizes that more is at stake than just bad intel. Someone is deliberately twisting the intelligence to stoke the simmering conflict between India and Pakistan, nuclear-armed rivals that have already fought multiple wars. And Sam's new employer could be up to its neck in it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fred Sanders. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/002602/bk_peng_002602_sample.mp3.

    Nixon's Back Channel to Moscow: Confidential Diplomacy and Detente (Studies In Conflict Diplomacy Peace) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 777min
    Most Americans consider détente, the reduction of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, to be among the Nixon administration's most significant foreign policy successes. The diplomatic back channel that national security advisor Henry Kissinger established with Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, became the most important method of achieving this thaw in the Cold War. Kissinger praised back channels for preventing leaks, streamlining communications, and circumventing what he perceived to be the US State Department's unresponsive and self-interested bureaucracy. Nixon and Kissinger's methods however, were widely criticized by State Department officials left out of the loop, and by an American press and public weary of executive branch prevarication and secrecy. Richard A. Moss's penetrating study documents and analyzes US-Soviet back channels from Nixon's inauguration, through what has widely been heralded as the apex of détente, the May 1972 Moscow Summit. He traces the evolution of confidential-channel diplomacy and examines major flashpoints, including the 1970 crisis over Cienfuegos, Cuba, the Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT), US dealings with China, deescalating tensions in Berlin, and the Vietnam War. Moss argues that while the back channels improved US-Soviet relations in the short term, the Nixon-Kissinger methods provided a poor foundation for lasting policy. The audiobook is published by The University Press of Kentucky. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Peterson.

    A Thousand Cuts: The Bizarre Underground World of Collectors and Dealers Who Saved the Movies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
    A Thousand Cuts is a candid exploration of one of America's strangest and most quickly vanishing subcultures. It is about the death of physical film in the digital era and about a paranoid, secretive, eccentric, and sometimes obsessive group of film-mad collectors who made movies and their projection a private religion in the time before DVDs and Blu-rays. The book includes the stories of film historian/critic Leonard Maltin, TCM host Robert Osborne discussing Rock Hudson's secret 1970s film vault, RoboCop producer Jon Davison dropping acid and screening King Kong with Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore East, and Academy Award-winning film historian Kevin Brownlow recounting his decades-long quest to restore the 1927 Napoleon. Authors Dennis Bartok and Jeff Joseph examine the FBI's and Justice Department's campaign to harass, intimidate, and arrest film dealers and collectors in the early 1970s. Many of those persecuted were gay men. Victims included Planet of the Apes star Roddy McDowall, who was arrested in 1974 for film collecting and forced to name names of fellow collectors, including Rock Hudson and Mel Tormé. A Thousand Cuts explores the obsessions of the colorful individuals who created their own screening rooms, spent vast sums, negotiated underground networks, and even risked legal jeopardy to pursue their passion for real, physical film. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary L Willprecht. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/088960/bk_acx0_088960_sample.mp3.
