    Blood of Cain: Sean O'Brien, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 797min
    When Courtney Burke appears at Ponce Marina on a humid summer morning, she leaves Sean O’Brien with a haunting tale. Her story could lead O’Brien down a path that began with a brutal crime 40 years earlier and hidden family secrets spawned from the desecration of the innocent. O’Brien learns that Courtney is linked to a series of carnival murders. Police are convinced she’s a serial killer, and all of her victims are men. But like the illusions found in the carnival’s house of mirrors, nothing is as it appears. Just beyond the looking glass is where evil watches from a one-way mirror. When Courtney faces a conviction for murder, O’Brien remembers something she told him, something so strange he’d originally dismissed it. To alter the future, to save Courtney’s life, O’Brien must penetrate dark deeds that began in a church 40 years earlier. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael David Axtell.

    Marked for Death: O'Brien, Book 12 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 241min
    A case of mistaken identity marked O’Brien out for death the minute he rode into Nebraska. A feud had erupted between the local farmers and a scheming loan agent who figured to sell them out. Both sides pegged O’Brien as a vicious gunman named Wes Dexter, who had been hired to settle the matter with violence. That made him a hero to some.... and a target for others. However, there was more to it than just that. What was the secret of the Morrison farm, for example? What would happen when the real Wes Dexter showed up? And why was O’Brien still marked for death even after he had left the Cornhusker State for far-off Wyoming? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Bower.
