    Robert B. Parker's Revelation: Cole and Hitch, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
    Itinerant lawmen Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch return to confront an escaped criminal in the grittiest entry yet of the New York Times best-selling series. Territorial marshals Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch figured things had finally settled down in Appaloosa when Boston Bill Black's murder charge was dropped. But all that changed when Augustus Noble Driggs was transferred to a stateside penitentiary just across the border from Mexico. Square-jawed, handsome, and built like a muscled thoroughbred stallion, Driggs manages to intimidate everyone inside the prison walls, including the upstart young warden. In a haunting twist of fate, Driggs and a pack of cold-blooded convicts are suddenly on the loose - and it's up to any and all territorial lawmen, including Cole and Hitch, to capture the fugitives and rescue the woman kidnapped during their escape. But nothing is ever quite what it seems with the ever-elusive Driggs. Finally free, he's quickly on his own furious hunt for a hidden cache of gold and jewels - and for the men who betrayed him and left him for dead. With an unlikely and unconventional Yankee detective by their side, Cole and Hitch set off on a massive manhunt. As horses' hooves thunder and guns echo deadening reports, Driggs discovers one of the lawmen on his trail is none other than a fellow West Point graduate he'd just as soon see dead. Ruthless and willing to leave a bloody path of destruction in his wake, Driggs seeks vengeance at any cost. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rex Linn.

    Tampa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    Celeste Price is an eighth-grade English teacher in suburban Tampa. She's undeniably attractive. She drives a red Corvette with tinted windows. Her husband, Ford, is rich, square-jawed, and devoted to her. But Celeste's devotion lies elsewhere. She has a singular sexual obsession: 14-year-old boys. Celeste pursues her craving with sociopathic meticulousness and forethought; her sole purpose in becoming a teacher is to fulfill her passion and provide her access to her compulsion. As the novel opens, fall semester at Jefferson Jr. High is beginning. In mere weeks, Celeste has chosen and lured the lusciously naive Jack Patrick into her web. Jack is enthralled and in awe of his teacher, and, most important, willing to accept Celeste's terms for a secret relationship - car rides after school; rendezvous at Jack's house while his single father works late; body-slamming encounters in Celeste's empty classroom between periods. Ever mindful of the danger - the perpetual risk of exposure, Jack's father's own attraction to her, and the ticking clock as Jack leaves innocent boyhood behind - the hyperbolically insatiable Celeste bypasses each hurdle with swift thinking and shameless determination, even when the solutions involve greater misdeeds than the affair itself. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress driven by pure motivation. She deceives everyone, and cares nothing for anyone or anything but her own pleasure. With crackling, rampantly unadulterated prose, Tampa is a grand, uncompromising, seriocomic examination of want and a scorching literary debut. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Gangster Squad: Covert Cops, the Mob, and the Battle for Los Angeles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 835min
    A harrowing, edge-of-your-seat narrative of murder and secrets, revenge and heroism in the City of Angels - the real events behind the blockbuster Warner Brothers film starring Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, and Emma Stone. Gangster Squad chronicles the true story of the secretive police unit that waged an anything-goes war to drive Mickey Cohen and other hoodlums from Los Angeles after World War II. In 1946, the LAPD launched the Gangster Squad with eight men who met covertly on street corners and slept with Tommy guns under their beds. But for two cops, all that mattered was nailing the strutting gangster Mickey Cohen. Sgt. Jack O’Mara was a square-jawed church usher, Sgt. Jerry Wooters a cynical maverick. About all they had in common was their obsession. So O’Mara set a trap to prove Mickey was a killer. And Wooters formed an alliance with Mickey’s budding rival, Jack “The Enforcer” Whalen. Two cops - two hoodlums. Their fates collided in the closing days of the 1950s, when late one night “The Enforcer” confronted Mickey and his crew. The aftermath would shake both LA’s mob and police department, and signal the end of a defining era in the city’s history. In 2008 award-winning journalist Paul Lieberman’s seven-part Los Angeles Times series “Tales from the Gangster Squad” was optioned by Warner Bros. He spent over a decade tracking down surviving members of the real police unit as well as families and associates of the mobsters they pursued. Gangster Squad is a tour-de-force narrative reminiscient of LA Confidential. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Petkoff.

    Doc: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 998min
    The year is 1878, peak of the Texas cattle trade. The place is Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored-up adolescent cowboys and young Irish hookers. Violence is random and routine, but when the burned body of a mixed-blood boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. And it is a matter of strangely personal importance to Doc Holliday, the frail 26-year-old dentist who has just opened an office at No. 24, Dodge House. Beautifully educated, born to the life of a Southern gentleman, Dr. John Henry Holliday is given an awful choice at the age of 22: die within months in Atlanta or leave everyone and everything he loves in the hope that the dry air and sunshine of the West will restore him to health. Young, scared, lonely, and sick, he arrives on the rawest edge of the Texas frontier just as an economic crash wrecks the dreams of a nation. Soon, with few alternatives open to him, Doc Holliday is gambling professionally; he is also living with Mária Katarina Harony, a high-strung Hungarian whore with dazzling turquoise eyes, who can quote Latin classics right back at him. Kate makes it her business to find Doc the high-stakes poker games that will support them both in high style. It is Kate who insists that the couple travel to Dodge City, because “That’s where the money is.” And that is where the unlikely friendship of Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp really begins - before Wyatt Earp is the prototype of the square-jawed, fearless lawman; before Doc Holliday is the quintessential frontier gambler; before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral links their names forever in American frontier mythology - when neither man wanted fame or deserved notoriety.Authentic, moving, and witty, Mary Doria Russell’s fifth novel redefines these two towering figures of the American West and brings to life an extraordinary cast of historical characters, including Holliday’s unforgettable companion, ungekürzt.

    Atlas zur Verbreitung und Ökologie der Spinnen (Araneae) Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns - Atlas of the Distribution and Ecology of the Spiders (Araneae) of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Band 1)
    D e u t s c h In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern sind über 600 Spinnenarten bekannt. Obwohl sie als Gegenspieler zu den Insekten ein wichtiges Glied funktionierender Nahrungsketten sind, die den ökologischen Zustand unserer Landschaften maßgeblich mitbestimmen, ist über ihre Verbreitung, ihre Ökologie und ihre Populationstrends wenig bekannt. Vorliegendes Buch will Naturfreunden, Landschaftsplanern, Behördenmitarbeitern und Arachnologen gleichermaßen die Spinnenfauna Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns vorstellen und den derzeitigen ökofaunistischen Wissenstand als Grundlage für Naturschutz und Landschaftsnutzung und für weitere Forschungen zur Diskussion stellen. Dazu wurden über 51 000 Datensätze aus fast 50 Jahren Spinnenforschung in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ausgewertet und Angaben zu Biologie und Ökologie der Arten, ihrer Verbreitung und ihrem Gefährdungsstatus gemacht. Zahlreiche von hervorragenden Naturfotografen beigesteuerte Abbildungen komplettieren das Werk und zeigen die Schönheit und Vielfalt der einheimischen Spinnenfauna.Vorliegender erster Band behandelt den Großteil der insgesamt 21 Spinnenfamilien, während der zweite Band den artenreichen Radnetz-, Strecker-, Baldachin- und Haubennetz-Spinnen vorbehalten ist. E n g l i s c hIn Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, there are more than 600 known species of spiders. Although they are a critical link in the food chain - as natural predators to insects - and have a decisive influence on the ecological state of our landscapes, little is known about their distribution, ecology, and population trends. This book aims to present the spider fauna of Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania to nature lovers, landscape planners, officials, and arachnologists alike and to discuss the current state of eco-faunistic knowledge as a basis for nature conservation and landscape use as well as further research. For this purpose, more than 51,000 data sets from almost 50 years of spider research in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania were analyzed providing information on the biology and ecology of the species, their distribution, and their endangerment status. Numerous images, contributed by first-class nature photographers, complete the work and show the beauty and diversity of the native spider species. This first volume deals with the majority of the total of 21 spider families, while the second volume is reserved for the species-rich orb-weaver, long-jawed orb weaver, sheet-web weaver, and cobweb spiders

    Damn, Girl
    Screamin' Cyn Cyn and The Pons sing funny, catchy songs over a relentless rhythm section, powerful guitar lines, and simple keytar riffs. It's art-rock without pretension, twee-core without sentimentality, punk rock without pants. Screamin' Cyn Cyn and The Pons' live show is littered with homemade props, hand-sewn costumes, and a confrontational mania that invariably elicits dancing, laughter, or at least slack-jawed bewilderment. Formed in 2003, Screamin' Cyn Cyn and The Pons have played extensively in the midwest and have embarked on five US tours. In July 2010, Crustacean Records released Damn, Girl, the follow-up to their 2007 album Screamin' Target Heart Rate. Their sound is dance rock in the vein of the B-52's mixed with DIY-hardcore sensibilities. With song topics ranging from sexually charged slumber parties to passive/aggressive cowboys to the biological clocks of Margarita-addled secretaries, Screamin' Cyn Cyn and The Pons' lyrics run the gamut from snotty and sarcastic to plaintive and desperate.
