Puss in Boots: Matthew Hope, Book 7, Hörbuch, Digital, 161min
A long shadow looms above her. Then a hand clamps over her mouth and a blade sinks into her back. Blood splatters on the film reel case beside her, and a young life is cut short. Lawyer Matthew Hope gets a call from Carlton Markham, who's been arrested for his filmmaker wife's murder but says he didn't do it. Witnesses fly forward to proclaim his guilt, but Markham's not giving up on his innocence that easily. And when Hope digs deeper into the victim's business - from heavy financial backers to sleazy egomaniacs - he finds she may not have been the perfect lady that she seemed. The one piece of evidence that could set Markham free and finger the real killer is the victim's film reel. Only it's gone, along with the film's sexy star. Now Matthew needs to infiltrate the seedy side of the film industry in order to find the missing reel and solve the murder. From master storyteller Ed McBain, Puss in Boots is another Matthew Hope mystery classic, the tale of a woman who aimed too high and the many men who fell for it all. Language: English.

The Pioneer Detectives: Did a Distant Spacecraft Prove Einstein and Newton Wrong? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min
Explore one of the greatest scientific mysteries of our time, the Pioneer Anomaly: In the 1980s, NASA scientists detected an unknown force acting on the spacecraft Pioneer 10, the first man-made object to journey through the asteroid belt and study Jupiter, eventually leaving the solar system. No one seemed able to agree on a cause. (Dark matter? Tensor–vector–scalar gravity? Collisions with gravitons?) What did seem clear to those who became obsessed with it was that the Pioneer Anomaly had the potential to upend Einstein and Newton—to change everything we know about the universe.With riveting prose and the precision of an expert, Konstantin Kakaes gives us a scientific police procedural, tracking the steps of those who sought to unravel this high-stakes enigma. His thrilling account draws on extensive interviews and archival research, following the story from the Anomaly’s initial discovery, through decades of tireless investigation, to its ultimate conclusion. The Pioneer Detectives is a definitive account not just of the Pioneer Anomaly but of how scientific knowledge gets made and unmade, with scientists sometimes putting their livelihoods on the line in pursuit of cosmic truth. Perfect for fans of John McPhee, Thomas Kuhn, and Ed McBain, this is also an immensely enjoyable story accessible to anyone who loves brilliant, fascinating long-form journalism. ungekürzt.

The Broken Brooch: The Celtic Brooch, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 710min
When a brooch is broken, some of its magic is lost. When NYPD detective JL O'Grady is invited to be her brother's plus-one at Montgomery Winery's end-of-harvest gala, she plans to enjoy a fabulous weekend in Napa drinking wine, enjoying sunset dinners on the veranda, and watching her brother's high school basketball tournament. Instead, she's pulled into a murder investigation hauntingly similar to a New York City racketeering and drug case that nearly ended her career. The local cops insist she steer clear of their investigation, but JL's gut instincts - and fears for her brother's safety - drive her deeper into the case. With help from MacKlenna Corporation's irresistibly handsome and charming CFO, Kevin Allen, she searches for a connection between the two cases, while at the same time her connection with Kevin rockets from mild to scorching in a New York minute. When another crime hits too close to her heart, the stakes escalate and endanger not only JL, but the entire MacKlenna Clan as well. Now it's up to JL and Kevin - with a little help from David McBain - to solve the case. With time running out and danger closing in, JL and Kevin rush to discover the killer's identity before someone else is murdered, and while they're at it, they might just find what's been missing from both their lives for far too long. ungekürzt.

Barefoot in Lace: The Barefoot Bay Brides, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
Kick off your shoes and fall in love in Barefoot Bay! Destination wedding planner Gussie McBain needs a man - specifically, a wedding photographer. Just her luck that the shutterbug she runs into is more used to snapping pictures of glamorous models in couture gowns than brides in white lace. But Gussie's never been one to let bad odds stop her from a good gamble, so she asks for a favor she never dreams superstar TJ DeMille will actually grant. Tom DeMille lives his life exactly as he pleases - always alone. In fact, he's got that motto tattooed in Greek on his arm. But when Tom is suddenly saddled with guardianship of his 12-year-old niece, he'll lose more than his freedom if he can't figure out how to take care of her. Then an alluring young woman with pink hair and a sassy mouth shows up at his door, and he agrees to do the unthinkable - photograph a wedding in exchange for some help with his niece. As they work together, Tom begins to take down the walls Gussie has erected around herself to discover a truly beautiful and tender woman he knows he could love. But will his own heartache and refusal to lay down roots prevent him from giving Gussie the family life she craves.... or could she be the one woman who can finally break his vow of solitude? ungekürzt.

The two corpses are mutilated. Naked. Frozen solid. It’s only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. With no evidence, no leads, and no clues, the local PD has no choice but to call in the FBI. Enter FBI recruit Chase Adams. While she may be new to the Bureau, Chase is no rookie when it comes to murder. First a narcotics officer in Seattle, then an NYPD detective, Chase has insight into the workings of some of the most demented minds of our society.

When a third body surfaces across the country, Chase realizes that she is on the hunt for a killer whose murder spree knows no boundaries. What sort of animal could commit such atrocities? And why? Chase fears that these murders are only the beginning. But what she doesn’t know is that as she closes in on the murderer, he’s closing in on her. And her family. This might be FBI recruit Chase Adams’ first case, but if she doesn’t catch the killer soon, it may also be her last.

Cloak and Dagger, Collection 1: The Lux Radio Theatre Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 354min
Based on the book Cloak and Dagger: The Secret Story of the O.S.S. by Corey Ford and Alistair McBain, the radio version of these fascinating true stories kept listeners on the edge of their seats. To helm the series, NBC brought in Wyllis Cooper who had created Lights Out and Quiet Please. Cooper collaborated with British crime journalist Percy Hoskins, who would work with Cooper again on Whitehall-1212 a year later. The combination of Hoskin’s accurate research and Cooper’s lively, fast-paced writing helped make Cloak and Dagger one of the best espionage-adventures ever to hit the airwaves. The Office of Strategic Services - the progenitor of our Central Intelligence Agency - was one of American history’s most colorful and compelling WWII intelligence gathering efforts. On Cloak and Dagger, secrets our government uncovered during the war were dramatized for American listeners. Broadcast from New York, the series starred Raymond Edward Johnson (known to millions as Raymond, "your host" of Inner Sanctum) with supporting casts that included Joseph Julian, Berry Kroeger, Leon Janney, Karl Weber, Larry Haines, Alice Frost and Jackson Beck. Cloak and Dagger came to NBC radio in 1950, lasting one season. 7/2/50 “The Eyes of Buddha” 7/9/50 “The Trap” 7/23/50 “The Secret Box” 7/30/50 “The Swastika on the Windmill” 8/6/50 “A Recommendation from Rommell” 8/13/50 “The Roof of the World” 8/20/50 “Norwegian Incident” 8/27/50 “The Black Radio” 9/1/50 “A War of Words” 9/8/50 “Overground Railroad” 9/15/50 “Seeds of Doubt” 9/22/50 “Operation Sellout” Language: English.
