    Death by Request , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
    In Death by Request (Book 11 of the Caribbean Murder Series), Cindy and Mattheus are given a shocking case they have never faced before: a clear-cut case of euthanasia might turn out to be something more ominous. Tara and Owen Danden, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary in Jamaica, are on the water, in a boat he rented, when the weather shifts and Tara falls overboard. As Owen tries desperately to save his wife, the boat spins and hits her head - sending her into a coma. Pulled out of the water, barely alive, Tara is airlifted to an elegant hospital on the island, and remains in a coma for two months. When she finally dies, however, there becomes a question of whether she truly died of natural causes. Based on scanty evidence, Owen is taken into custody and quickly hires Cindy and Mattheus to clear his name and find out who wanted Tara dead. Cindy and Mattheus' journey takes us through an intriguing exploration of comas, euthanasia and what happens to those in altered states. As the investigation proceeds we watch Cindy and Mattheus' relationship ripen, and take a new turn. We also meet Tara's crazy family, learn the secret they've been hiding, and see what bearing it might have on the case. As a new suspect finally comes into focus, all is not what it seems to be.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fiona McGuinness.

    The Jungle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 786min
    This 1906 novel by Upton Sinclair emphasizes the predicament of the working class and illustrates the corruption of the American meatpacking industry in the early-20th century. The story sets off with a dramatic portrayal of a Lithuanian wedding feast, which introduces the listener to all of the major and secondary characters: Jurgis Rudkus (originally "Rudkos"), his bride Ona, their extended family, and their friends. Drawn away from Lithuania by assurances of work, the Rudkus family arrived in the Back of the Yards neighborhood of Chicago at the end of the 19th century, only to learn that their dreams of a modest life are not likely to be fulfilled. The family had previously imagined that only Jurgis would support them in America; however one at a time, all of them - the women, the young children, and Jurgis' sickly father - are all required to look for jobs to contribute to the scanty family income. They are confronted with a ruthless world of work in the Chicago Stockyards, where everybody has his or her price, where everyone in a position of power - including government inspectors, the police, and judges - must be rewarded, and where blacklisting is common. A sequence of ill-fated events - accidents at work, a number of deaths in the family that under normal conditions could have been avoided - draws the family toward ever more tragedy. ungekürzt.

    In a low yield world where government bonds pay next to no interest, S&P 500 stocks pay little more than that in dividends, the Canadian government taxes income trusts, and even real estate investment trusts are suffering cash flow problems, one type of security still stands as a beacon of hope to income investors. Master Limited Partnerships or MLPs 9% yields...that increase 9% annually... quarterly distributions almost guaranteed . . . capital gains that leave the S&P 500 in the dust... tax protection... business profits protected by federal government regulation . . . profit from the energy sector without the volatility of market prices because MLPs are paid by volume not final price. Until now, the information available to investors has been scanty. There've been only chapters in books. One prominent financial advice company launched a newsletter devoted to them, but the price tag is $399 annually. The Internet contains summary but incomplete articles and snatches of advice (some good, some inaccurate). Finally, investors can learn all about these terrific investments - their rewards and risks; the paperwork hassles and how to get around them; and how to invest in them using both taxable and tax-deferred accounts. In one convenient volume for one low price. This book is the first and only devoted solely to Master Limited Partnerships. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Ross.

    The History of the Caliph Vathek , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 275min
    Vathek, ninth Caliph of the race of the Abassides, was the son of Motassem, and the grandson of Haroun Al Raschid.From an early accession to the throne, and the talents he possessed to adorn it, his subjects were induced to expect that his reign would be long and happy. His figure was pleasing and majestic; but when he was angry one of his eyes became so terrible that no person could bear to behold it, and the wretch upon whom it was fixed instantly fell backward, and sometimes expired. For fear, however, of depopulating his dominions and making his palace desolate he but rarely gave way to his anger. Being much addicted to women and the pleasures of the table, he sought by his affability to procure agreeable companions; and he succeeded the better as his generosity was unbounded, and his indulgences unrestrained, for he was by no means scrupulous, nor did he think with the Caliph Omar Ben Abdalaziz that it was necessary to make a hell of this world to enjoy Paradise in the next. He surpassed in magnificence all his predecessors.The palace of Alkoremmi, which his father Motassem had erected on the hill of Pied Horses, and which commanded the whole city of Samarah, was in his idea far too scanty; he added therefore five wings, or rather other palaces, which he destined for the particular gratification of each of his senses. In the first of these were tables continually covered with the most exquisite dainties, which were supplied both by night and by day, according to their constant consumption, whilst the most delicious wines and the choicest cordials flowed forth from a hundred fountains that were never exhausted. This palace was called “The Eternal or Unsatiating Banquet”. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tony Parton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/197919/bk_acx0_197919_sample.mp3.

    The Pugilist Poets of Venice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
    A boomer, an xer, and a millennial walk into a book... Meet Hammerhead Hirsch, a charismatic middle-aged boho known in the '60s as "the pugilist poet" for his Golden Gloves boxing crown and beat poetry chops. Thirty years later, Head has become a first-time father, and his joy is immense...until the mom bolts.Can Head last 15 rounds as a single dad with a paltry income, scanty prospects, biting demons, and a "ball-and-chain" kid?The tale is told by a worshipful youth who accompanies Head and his son every step of the way on a 10-year-long, three-way journey of struggles, missteps, love, and growth.What other authors say:  "This is a rollicking, big-hearted tale, full of laughter, bravery and unflinching humanity. The touch is light, but the questions are big: family, loyalty, art, and love are the rightful subjects of Sindell’s troupe of misfits and raconteurs, each of them a poet and each of them a pugilist too in this deeply funny and deeply felt novel." (Emily Kiernan, author of The Great Divide)   "The Pugilist Poets of Venice is author Jon Sindell’s big fat juicy love letter to literature, Los Angeles and, most of all, love. Disguised as a novel about free-spirited parenting, boys becoming men and men becoming, well, grown-ups, The Pugilist pulls no punches. With prose that zings, swings and frequently sings, Sindell tells a tough yet tender tale of brazen heartbreak amid ’90s bohemian hipsters." (Tracy DeBrincat, author of Hollywood Buckaroo and Troglodyte)"Funny, sad, relatable, and engrossing" (Stephen D. Gutierrez, American Book Award winner)  "With unflinching honesty, humor and a keen eye for detail, Sindell brings unforgettable characters to life in all their flaws and virtues. Page after page, they kept surprising me; I couldn’t put the book down." (Martin McCaw, author of The Low Road, finalist in the International Book Award ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Thomas Watson left London two years ago and crossed the Atlantic to become a newspaper reporter in Philadelphia, 1920s Philadelphia, a city that rivals Al Capone's Chicago for its crime and corruption. Why would he go so far from family and friends? Admittedly, he was trying to get away - away from the shadow of his famous father, Dr. John Watson, and his father's even more famous friend, Sherlock Holmes. Shortly after Thomas leaves London, Sherlock dies, and Dr. Watson takes on the responsibility of caring for Sherlock's older brother, Mycroft. After two short years in which Thomas finds little success in journalism, Dr. Watson dies suddenly; though Thomas stands to inherit his father's estate, he is also saddled with the responsibility of Mycroft, who has mysteriously shown up in Philadelphia, ready to move in. Puzzled by this strange turn of events, Thomas takes a walk and suddenly finds himself caught up in the biggest story of his career a suspicious explosion at a speakeasy, which kills the owner and his card-playing buddies. The principal suspect of the police is Basil Meridan, a former British butler whom Thomas befriends and Mycroft hires as a servant. Needled into making a bet with a rival reporter that he can solve the mystery, Thomas is immediately hampered in his investigation by his editor, who fires him for spending too much time on a dead-end story. As he attempts to recover from this setback, he is escorted against his will to a meeting with bootlegger Boo Boo Hoff and his goons. They also want to know who the killer is, and provide their own unique encouragement for Thomas to find the solution to the mystery. All this makes it necessary to for him to solve the mystery, or lose his money, his job, maybe even his life. From the scanty clues that Thomas compiles, Mycroft is able to solve the mystery, but he is tight-lipped about the solution after all, Thomas should be able to figure it out himself! But can Thomas discover the murd ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Woodson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/017911/bk_acx0_017911_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Angel Face , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min, (USK 18)
    When Isabel's beautiful daughter, Angel, grew to be a lovely, dynamic young woman, Melvin couldn't help responding to her innocently sexy appeal. After becoming aware of her sexual charms, she makes use of them to the fullest. With her cute smile and bright eyes, Angel could dazzle and seduce whomever she pleased. She loved being looked at in scanty attire and took the lead in group sex.  ~ PG Excerpt ~ Melvin drove to pick Isabel up at her house to find her wearing tight fitting jeans, a tee-shirt and thongs on her feet and holding in her hand a travel bag with sundries that include a thong bikini. Off to his house they went. The exchange of greetings with Melvin’s parents, his two brothers and two sisters was surely a bigger surprise and was more fun than Isabel had ever expected. With mellow music on the stereo outdoors on the patio, conversation was rich and interesting. She did not expect to meet a family of six but she was glad it happened. After brunch when it was time for Melvin and Isabel to part, she was thinking, I would love to have a family like this of my own. Lake Nacimiento was several miles away and Melvin and Isabel were both more interested in getting better acquainted than listening to loud music. With the stereo at a low volume, the conversation centered on his family. He talked about his father’s business, and much about his brothers and sisters since that seemed to be Isabel’s interest. She kept it in her mind that they had met in the Marriage and Fam course at school and was wondering, is Melvin going to be the one? No way! We just met. After the boat was docked, the couple was ready to don their swimwear for skiing. Melvin went to the head to give Isabel some privacy and when she was ready, she announced, “You can come out now.” When he emerged from the head in a pair of tight swimming trunks, he was almost floored to see his date in her tiger striped thong bikini. She spun around to let him see her at a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aric Amendolea. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/210449/bk_acx0_210449_sample.mp3.
