    Wounds and prejudices stemming from the Civil War, the Great Depression and other conflicts run deep in the Ozark hill country. These frailties, like the scab of a putrid wound, will from time to time reopen and ooze pus. In the tumultuous year of 1968, a farmer stumbles onto the gruesome scene of a hate crime: the lynching of a young gay man whose mangled body has been left hanging from a tree. Clues abound, but the investigation withers and dies. Thirty-eight years later, Aubrey Hatfield and the citizens of Campbell County get a second chance to grapple with man's greatest vice - the refusal to see wrong and do something about it. The life journey of protagonist Aubrey Hatfield contrasts the culture of the turbulent Sixties with today's culture, and ponders how we should adapt to or resist the ever-changing notions of right and wrong. Thus, Gay Panic in the Ozarks is a disturbing story of the culture war that society is waging on itself. Brusque but humane, the novel examines love, hate, morality, honor, and duty - the things that inform and shape our destiny. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ed Bethune.

    A stunning psychological thriller that explores the true price of obsession....  Prison psychologist Frank Lundquist is astonished to see Miranda Greene walk into his office 15 years after they graduated from school as his incarcerated newest client. Though she doesn't remember him, Frank remembers every word Miranda ever spoke to him back when she was a beautiful, long-haired teenager. But why is Miranda, daughter of a local politician, serving hard time in a maximum-security prison for a brutal crime? And why does Frank, whose life is in the midst of unravelling after he lost his practice in a scandal, choose to forgo protocol and remain as her psychologist rather than admit he knows her?  One thing is clear: neither Miranda's past nor her present are free from dark secrets, and she is determined not to spend the rest of her life in jail. In turn, Frank becomes convinced that their reunion was fated and that he can save his own mangled future by saving Miranda's. As his obsession deepens and Miranda's extreme plan to escape fails, their renewed acquaintance unleashes a wildly risky chain of events, with dire consequences. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Jackaby, Abigail Rook and Sherlockian detective of the supernatural R. F. Jackaby are back and on the trail of a thief, a monster, and a murderer. "I've found very little about private detective R. F. Jackaby to be standard in the time I've known him. Working as his assistant tends to call for a somewhat flexible relationship with reality." In 1892 New Fiddleham, New England, things are never quite what they seem, especially when Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. F. Jackaby, are called upon to investigate the supernatural. First, a vicious species of shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter of kittens, and a day later their owner is found murdered with a single mysterious puncture wound. Then, in nearby Gad's Valley, now home to the exiled New Fiddleham police detective Charlie Cane, dinosaur bones from a recent dig mysteriously go missing, and an unidentifiable beast starts attacking animals and people, leaving their mangled bodies behind. Charlie calls on Abigail for help, and soon Abigail and Jackaby are on the hunt for a thief, a monster, and a murderer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicola Barber.

    She kneels down by the front of Ally and looks her in her eyes. Ally can’t even cry anymore. "Any last words bitch?" she snarls at Ally. "Go to hell bitch" Ally croaks. Kristen laughs. "Oh, I intend to." With that, she takes the cruel device, and shoves it down Ally’s throat, cutting and slicing her airway open and eventually cutting her jugular, so she bled out right there on the bed. Kristen looks at the mangled bloody body on the bed, admiring her work, and takes the knife used to cut Ally, and cuts her own clothes off and begins cutting herself. She cuts her breasts, thighs, and legs. She grabs the long device out of Ally’s throat, places it on the floor, kneels down on top of it, grits her teeth, and sits down quickly, jamming the razor blades inside of her. She screams out in pain as she punches herself in the face, and smashes her face into the wall. When she feels herself beginning to black out, she crawls to the phone, picks it up and dials 911. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Meadows.

    Meliu survived the horrors at the Shrine of Burdenis, her scalp mangled by the Taken, but she braved her soul's eternity to rescue holy tomes. Escorted by Ivin Choerkin and the wardens, she found the legendary Codex of Sol, a book thought destroyed by the Clan Choerkin centuries ago. The Codex once brought holy war with its forbidden prophecies; its pages once again seem poised to change the destiny of a people. Seven days before the Eve of Snows, Meliu returned the Codex of Sol to Istinjoln Monastery. Six days later, Lord Priest Ulrikt entrusted her with a missive intended for a High Priest in Choerkin Fost. She departed soon after with Jinbin, three ponies, and two kegs of ale. An energy surges from the monastery not long after they ride from its gates, and the chill it brings to her bones is all too familiar: A Celestial Gate summoning demonic Shadows.She rides hard for Choerkin Fost, believing the message she bears is vital to the survival of her people, but on arriving no one meets her to take Ulrikt's message. Per the Lord Priest's orders, she opens the scroll. The command is shocking in its simplicity and intended for her all along: Flee Kaludor. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maximillian Breed.

A home run!” (John Gilstrap, USA Today best-selling author of the Jonathan Grave thriller series)“The action is fast, the characters are amazing, and there is plenty to keep the reader engaged.
