    Boston Blackie, Collection 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 326min
    Author Jack Boyle created the modern Robin Hood-like character, Horatio Black, known to friend and foe as Boston Blackie. Blackie was a reformed jewel thief and safecracker, constantly suspected of crimes he did not commit and forced to play the role of detective to clear his name. His girlfriend, Mary Wesley, assisted Blackie from time to time, as did his pal Shorty. Forced to defend himself against the accusations of New York Police Inspector Faraday, Blackie always managed to stay one step ahead of the cops in solving a crime. The wisecracks exchanged between Blackie and Faraday made the program an enjoyable mix of comedy and mystery.  Chester Morris played the character in 15 Boston Blackie films for Columbia. When The Amos ‘n’ Andy Show needed a summer replacement in 1944, Chester Morris was lured to the NBC microphone for a short-lived Boston Blackie series sponsored by Rinso. The following year, Boston Blackie was syndicated by Ziv with Dorothy Kilgallen’s husband, Dick Kollmar, in the title role. This syndicated series lasted until 1950 and featured Maurice Tarplin as Inspector Faraday with Leslie Woods and Jan Miner as Mary. In 1951, the series made the leap to television starring Kent Taylor as Blackie, Lois Collier as Mary, and Frank Orth as Faraday.  Enjoy 12 of the finest detective adventures of Boston Blackie in this thrilling collection!  5/14/47 “The Joe Adams Drowning Murder” 5/21/47 “Blackie Breaks into Langley Penitentiary” 6/11/47 “Blackie Framed for Killing a Watchman” 6/18/47 “The Donald Carver Frame-Up” 6/25/47 “The Joe Nelson Murder” 7/2/47 “Johnny 'Cash' Burns Imported Wool” 7/9/47 “The Harmonica Man Murder” 7/16/47 “The Construction Gang Bank Robbery” 8/20/47 “The John Austin Murder” 8/27/47 “The Buckley Shakedown Racket” 11/12/47 “Murder, Incorporated” 11/19/47 “Armored Car Murder Case”  Language: English.

    The Gargoyle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1156min
    An extraordinary debut novel of love that survives the fires of hell and transcends the boundaries of time. The narrator of The Gargoyle is a very contemporary cynic, physically beautiful and sexually adept, who dwells in the moral vacuum that is modern life. As the book opens, he is driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and suffers horrible burns over much of his body. As he recovers in a burn ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned, he awaits the day when he can leave the hospital and commit carefully planned suicide - for he is now a monster in appearance as well as in soul. A beautiful and compelling, but clearly unhinged, sculptress of gargoyles by the name of Marianne Engel appears at the foot of his bed and insists that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly injured mercenary and she was a nun and scribe in the famed monastery of Engelthal who nursed him back to health. As she spins their tale in Scheherazade fashion and relates equally mesmerizing stories of deathless love in Japan, Iceland, Italy, and England, he finds himself drawn back to life - and, finally, in love. He is released into Marianne's care and takes up residence in her huge stone house. But all is not well. For one thing, the pull of his past sins becomes ever more powerful as the morphine he is prescribed becomes ever more addictive. For another, Marianne receives word from God that she has only 27 sculptures left to complete - and her time on earth will be finished. Already an international literary sensation, The Gargoyle is an Inferno for our time. It will have you believing in the impossible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lincoln Hoppe.

    The Khmer Rouge: The Notorious History and Legacy of the Communist Regime That Ruled Cambodia in the 1970s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
    The reign of the Khmer Rouge, a Cambodian communist regime, began on April 7, 1975 as Khmer Rouge militants entered the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, ultimately gaining control and forcing out its residents. For the next four years, the regime would remain in power and commit what is now referred to as the Cambodian Genocide. Their reign would result in economic turmoil, cultural destruction, and mass death, impacting Cambodia to this day. That legacy continues to be the subject of discussion among governments and academics, who would debate not only their intentions and actions but also the appropriate course of pursuing legal action against its leaders.The Communist Party of Kampuchea, also known as the Khmer Rouge, took control of Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh on April 7, 1975. Upon seizing Phnom Penh, the Communist forces of the Khmer Rouge began to eliminate all aspects of public life that were viewed as contrary to communist ideals. Military forces began to seize all private property, outlawed religion, repealed all existing laws, eliminated markets and currency, closed public gathering spaces, and declared all anti-regime activity as treason.The existing borders of Cambodia, then known as Democratic Kampuchea, were immediately closed by the military. International citizens were not permitted to enter Cambodia, and, more importantly, Cambodians were not permitted to exit. Citizens of all large cities, such as the capital of Phnom Penh, were quickly moved to the countryside to work in forced labor camps.The ultimate goal of the Khmer Rouge regime was to return Cambodia to a nation centered around agriculture that lacked social classes and individuality. As a result, Pol Pot aimed to eliminate any groups he viewed as a barrier to achieving that vision, which mostly included ethnic, religious, and political groups within Cambodia. These groups ranged from Buddhist Monks and Muslim Cham to ethnic Thais and Vietnamese. Ethnic Khme ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

    Illicit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min
    Illicit uncovers passions longed for even in marriage. One woman's decision to surrender to forbidden desires seems simple, especially when the choice is between an abusive and unfaithful husband and a sexy security lieutenant. But that is not how she wants to do things. Instead, she gets wrapped up in a whirlwind of temptation that neither she nor the lieutenant can deny. Even when her nine-year marriage had long ago begun to crumble, ever-loyal Odyssey Greene hung in there. She thinks it is only the stress and frustrations of marriage that causes her husband's cruel behavior, but she soon finds out that there is much more to it than that. Like the vows she took, she chose to love and commit herself to her verbally abusive husband even while his faithfulness was in question. Odyssey met every challenge head on: trying to please her husband, juggling motherhood and a new career as an executive assistant, and even fighting the magnetic attraction she develops for another man. She thought she had enough on her plate when dealing with her husband until Lieutenant Blaze Rodriguez comes into her life. Blaze, who is the lieutenant over Calico Enterprises security firm on a military base, is everything her husband is not: respectful, patient, and powerful. While he tries to focus his attention on solving mysterious thefts around the camp, he quickly discovers that the beautiful new assistant has mysteries of her own. Blaze and Odyssey's attraction brings them closer together and they become enraptured in an emotional affair. They soon realize that they share a lot more in common than having an ever-present undercurrent of desire between them and they soon develop a strong friendship that only strengthens with time. But like anything that is denied for too long, when it all comes out, the virulent force of it all will be something neither of them can stop. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steyn Maree.

    Anais Butt and the Hairy-Handed Gent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 410min
    When 17-year-old Anais Butt is expelled from her fifth boarding school in three years, she expects her parents to slap her on the wrist and send her to another expensive school. However, her fed-up parents have other ideas. They decide to exile her to the isolated mountain town of Glenorie to labour for her child-hating maternal grandmother, Nanny Pam, and her hostile cousin, Josephine, who operate a riding school on her 3,000-acre ranch on the Turon River. However, before leaving for Glenorie, Anais spends a few days with her paternal grandmother, Nanny Bette, who has a handsome, mysterious guest staying with her in her flat. Shannon Ferguson has told Nanny Bette that he’s an out-of-work actor, but Anais, who finds herself strongly attracted to him, suspects that he’s lying. Shannon seems to be on the run from the police. When Shannon follows Anais to Glenorie, she’s scared of him and drawn to him in equal measure. He reveals that he’s being pursued by the police over a crime he did not commit. Anais wants to believe the man she’s in love with, but when a German backpacker goes missing and another is horribly injured near Glenorie, Anais can’t help but suspect Shannon. Finding herself more and more allied with her serious, goody-two-shoes cousin Josephine, Anais sets out to investigate the disappearances herself. Through a series of thrilling but dangerous events, the girls discover that the prime suspect is not Shannon, but the town’s well-respected pastor, Reverend Hobhouse and his band of ‘foster sons’. After an incident in the bush where Shannon is almost killed, he’s forced to face the prospect of leaving Glenorie, and Anais, forever. And Anais must make her own decisions and discoveries about her past, present, and future. She may just have to grow up. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Federay Holmes.

    The Politics of Murder: The Power and Ambition Behind "The Altar Boy Murder Case" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
    On a hot night in July 1995, Janet Downing, a 42-year-old mother of four, was brutally stabbed 98 times in her home in Somerville, a city two miles northwest of Boston. Within hours, a suspect was identified: 15-year-old Eddie O'Brien, the best friend of one of Janet's sons. But why Eddie? He had no prior history of criminal behavior. He was not mentally ill. He had neither motive nor opportunity to commit the crime. Others had both. Yet none of that mattered because powers far beyond his Somerville neighborhood decided that Eddie needed to be guilty. As laid out in The Politics of Murder, the timing of this case did not bode well for Eddie. A movement hoping to stop the supposed rise of young superpredators was sweeping the nation, and juvenile offenders were the targets. Both the Massachusetts governor and an elected district attorney who personally litigated this case supported juvenile justice reform, and both aspired to higher offices. Eddie O'Brien's case garnered both local and national publicity: He was the youthful Irish Catholic boy next door. His grandfather was the retired chief of the Somerville Police Department. Court TV covered the trial in adult court gavel to gavel, calling it the altar boy murder case. His highly publicized case changed the juvenile laws in Massachusetts. Other states began to follow suit. But did the justice system fail Eddie? That's the contention of author-attorney Margo Nash in her explosive exposé, The Politics of Murder. Appointed Eddie's guardian ad litem, Nash attended every court session and eventually gained access to all his files. Now after painstaking research and examination of each step of the investigation, trial transcripts, and the forensic evidence, Nash makes the case that Eddie could not have committed the crime and that other viable suspects were never properly investigated and that power and ambition made his conviction a foregone conclusion. ungekürzt.
