Links , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 819min
Gripping, provocative, and revelatory, Links is a novel that will stand as a classic of modern world literature. Jeebleh is returning to Mogadiscio, Somalia, for the first time in 20 years. But this is not a nostalgia trip - his last residence there was a jail cell. And who could feel nostalgic for a city like this? U.S. troops have come and gone, and the decimated city is ruled by clan warlords and patrolled by qaat-chewing gangs who shoot civilians to relieve their adolescent boredom. Diverted in his pilgrimage to visit his mother's grave, Jeebleh is asked to investigate the abduction of the young daughter of one of his closest friend's family. But he learns quickly that any act in this city, particularly an act of justice, is much more complicated than he might have imagined. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.

The Ravens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 596min
Being a mercenary is a fairly basic job, right? Not for a Raven. Especially not for a Raven in Ayinchirr.Chayda was a Changer who couldn't change, and the newest member of the legendary Raven Squadron. Ayinchirr was an unusual country on the brink of civil war, ruled by blood mages, supervised by song priests, and patrolled by groups called Shadow Courts. And of course, the Ravens have a new job...in Ayinchirr.Upon the death of his beloved queen, Sinharan is back in Ayinchirr after 15 years of mostly self-imposed exile. But now, he's back with the support of the Ravens and Dragons. And without the queen who exiled him to keep him in check, there is very little to prevent his plan from succeeding. Which begs the question: Does anyone besides Sinharan know just what that plan is? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Sterling.

What's Tha Up To?: Memories of a Yorkshire Bobby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min

Whether he was pursuing unlikely coal thieves, tracking down peacocks gone AWOL or investigating mysterious flying saucers over Sheffield, PC Johnson faced every new challenge with a smile and a healthy dose of his copper's common sense. In his charming and funny memoir, read by the author, Martyn Johnson recalls the rogues, cheats, and scoundrels - as well as the many friends - who made his life on the beat so unforgettable. ungekürzt.

The Ghost Patrol (eBook, ePUB)
"The Ghost Patrol" is a book by Sinclair Lewis an American writer. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. "The Ghost Patrol" is a short story by Sinclair Lewis. "Donald Patrick Dorgan had served forty-four years on the police force of Northernapolis, and during all but five of that time he had patrolled the Forest Park section. Don Dorgan might have been a sergeant, or even a captain, but it had early been seen at headquarters that he was a crank about Forest Park. For hither he had brought his young wife, and here he had built their shack; here his wife had died, and here she was buried. It was so great a relief in the whirl of department politics to have a man who was contented with his job that the Big Fellows were glad of Dorgan, and kept him there where he wanted to be, year after year, patrolling Forest Park."
