    Liars, Cheaters & Thieves: Detective Jackson, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
    Liars, cheaters, thieves. What does a man drugged and slashed to death by an unknown assailant have to do with a woman felled by a fatal heart attack after learning her bank account had been plundered? The cases seem as different as their scenarios - late night in a tavern parking lot and early the next morning inside a bank. But a troubling theory soon unites them: Was the first crime's murder victim the second crime's mastermind? There's a case to be made for the connection between slain Iraq War vet Rafel Mazari and the bogus veterans' charity that robbed Molly Pershing of her money and her life. But Detective Wade Jackson and his homicide team have even more damning evidence against Mazari's wife - including a hypodermic needle and a scalpel. But when an identical murder claims the victim's best friend, Jackson suspects a motive darker and more devastating than infidelity, greed, or love turned lethal. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Quicklet on Isabel Wilkerson's the Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 33min
    Isabel Wilkerson's The Warmth of Other Suns is truly a labor of love. It took 15 years to research and write, as she interviewed over 1,200 people. Wilkerson tracked down her subjects at churches, quilting clubs, funerals, family reunions, and others. After preliminary rounds of interviews, she narrowed her search down to 30 people, and then chose the three main subjects who appear in the book. She was racing against the clock to collect as many stories as possible from the migrants, whose numbers were starting to dwindle. Her book even covers the funerals of both George Starling and Robert Pershing Foster. In order to write her story in a heartfelt manner, Wilkerson recreated Robert Foster's exhausting drive from Louisiana to California. Dr. Foster drove through three states without rest because blacks weren't welcome at any motels in those regions. Wilkerson's trip was cut short by her parents, who insisted she stop before reaching dangerous levels of fatigue. At a particularly perilous tract of the drive, Wilkerson writes that her mother said, "You know he must have been ready to cry right about here." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Delaney.

    Ballades
    Den 1930 in Pennsylvania geborenen Ahmad Jamal muss man vermutlich nicht mehr vorstellen. Ein jeder, der sich mit dem Jazz beschäftigt, ist diesem Namen - zwangsläufig - schon begegnet. Mit 17 Jahren war der Piano-Virtuose bereits professioneller Musiker; er gründete Quartette und dann Trios, und den Durchbruch seiner Karriere erlebte er mit dem Album "At The Pershing" (1958). Das Album hielt sich unglaubliche 108 Wochen in den Billboard-Charts. In den nächsten vier Jahrzehnten machte Jamal Ausflüge in die Elektronik und arbeitete im Gegenzug mit Streichern zusammen, um sich dann in den 80er und 90er Jahren wieder als Meister des akustischen Klaviertrios zu präsentieren. Die Alben, die er für das Birdology-Label aufnahm, vor allem die große Trilogie "The Essence", sind zeitgenössische Jazz-Klassiker, und seine neueste Aufnahme bestätigt, dass er im Alter von 89 Jahren immer noch auf dem Höhepunkt seiner schöpferischen Kräfte bleibt. Folgerichtig erhielt Jamal, den Miles Davis malseine "größte Inspiration" beschrieb, für sein Lebenswerk den Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.Sein neues Album "Ballades" ist primär Ahmad Jamal solo am Klavier. Nur bei drei Stücken wird er vom Bassisten James Cammack begleitet.- Formate: CD / 2LP

    The Hello Girls: America’s First Women Soldiers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 723min
    This is the story of how America's first women soldiers helped win World War I, earned the vote, and fought the US Army. In 1918 the US Army Signal Corps sent 223 women to France. They were masters of the latest technology: the telephone switchboard. General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces, demanded female "wire experts" when he discovered that inexperienced doughboys were unable to keep him connected with troops under fire. Without communications for even an hour, the army would collapse. While suffragettes picketed the White House and President Woodrow Wilson struggled to persuade a segregationist Congress to give women of all races the vote, these competent and courageous young women swore the army oath. Elizabeth Cobbs reveals the challenges they faced in a war zone where male soldiers welcomed, resented, wooed, mocked, saluted, and ultimately celebrated them. The army discharged the last Hello Girls in 1920. When the operators sailed home, the army unexpectedly dismissed them without veterans' benefits. They began a 60-year battle that a handful of survivors carried to triumph in 1979. With the help of the National Organization for Women, Senator Barry Goldwater, and a crusading Seattle attorney, they triumphed over the US Army. ungekürzt. Language: English.

After helping to clean up the boomtown, Frank is hired by the Texas Rangers and is sent to the big city where he becomes fixated on solving a series of brutal murders of innocent women.

    American Legends: The Life of Dwight D. Eisenhower , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 98min
    A lot of time has been spent covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do so while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. During the middle of the 20th century, the United States completed its transformation into one of the world's superpowers. Few were as instrumental in this development as Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969), renowned for being the nation's principal commanding general during World War II and the president who served during the early, tumultuous Cold War years. A career military man, Ike was too young to serve in combat during World War I. But he began a long and productive career collaborating with future military legends George Patton and Douglas MacArthur while serving some of the nation's other famous generals, including George Marshall and John J. Pershing. Amazingly, he had never served in anything but administrative positions before World War II. Eisenhower remained mired in middle management positions until George Marshall, Chief of Staff of the Army, took notice of his skills and began promoting him. By 1942, Eisenhower was given the role of appointed supreme commander allied (expeditionary) force in North Africa. After his success there, Eisenhower oversaw the invasion of Sicily in 1943, which at the time had been the largest amphibious invasion in history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Bloede.
