The Gumshoe Files: The First Three Gumshoe Files , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
It is 1946, and Frank O'Brian is a gumshoe in New York, in other words a private investigator. Having just qualified as a lawyer when the US entered WWII, he quits to work as a field agent for the Office of Strategic Services in Europe. On returning to New York, he found the notion of returning to the law too tame and hung up his PI shingle. In his first big case, the Vanowen case, he is involved in murder, blackmail, and double dealing. Using his wide range of skills, O’Brian quickly solves the mystery. Following the high-profile case, O’Brian is able to pick and choose his next case. When a retired general visits him, distraught that his daughter has been kidnapped, O’Brian agrees to take the case. Is General Simpson’s distress an act? Hired to pay the ransom, things spiral out of control for O’Brian, and he realizes he hasn’t been told the truth, and all is not as it seems. In the third case of this trilogy, the Sandover twins case, one of the twins hires O'Brian to find her missing sister. The girls are actresses, and Frank is dragged into the New York theater world, where it is not all glamour, fame, and riches. Were the twins tipped for the top? Frank knows time is of the essence. With the support and help of his assistant, Zelda, and his new partner, Luis Garcia, a Cuban immigrant and ex-cop, he sets out to find the missing girl. As with all Henke novels, the twists and turns of these stories continue right up to the end. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William L. Sturdevant.

The Manhattan Red Ribbon Killer: Mancuso & O'Brian Crime Mystery, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 454min
Manhattan Plagued by Terror: Red Ribbon Killer Rampages! The third outing in the gripping Mancuso-O’Brian murder mystery series, this case is particularly fascinating, Watson - because it’s about to get personal! Meticulous NYPD cop-turned-private eye Joey Mancuso is called in to help the Midtown South precinct solve a series of brutal murders targeting young professional women. Notorious serial killer Ted Bundy once said: “Murder is not about lust, and it’s not about violence. It’s about possession”. It's a notion that haunts the NYPD when three isolated strangulation cases leave the midtown unit stumped. Case #1 at first seems to be an eve of kinky sex gone wrong. But when second and third bodies turn up - this time with the sign of the cross carved into their breasts - New York’s finest think they have a serial killer on their hands. There couldn’t be a better time to call in wry private investigator Joey Mancuso and his brother, Father Dominic O’Brian. Joey finds himself grasping at straws - and concocting a psychological profile of his killer, thanks to some tips from his FBI agent sometime-girlfriend. Why the gruesome carving of the crucifix? And why are all the murders so close to NYPD’s Midtown South Precinct? The more Joey digs, the more he realizes his victims aren’t simply the victims of patterned sex crimes, but of a narcissistic psychopath gunning for someone - someone with ties to the precinct, perhaps. With a little help gentle and guidance from his brother Father O’Brian, Joey and his ragtag team of investigators race the clock from their new digs behind Captain O’Brian’s Irish Pub to catch their killer. Author Owen Parr has modeled his heroes after Holmes and Watson, and all the Doylesque markings of a head-scratching, heart-racing puzzler lie in these pages. But not only fans of Holmes, but also of the gritty police procedurals by Raymond Chandler, Joseph Wambaugh, Lawrence Block, and Rex Stout will gobb ungekürzt. Language: English.

But then The Thing in the Moonmad T-shirt becomes their manager and sets their sights higher - on the forthcoming music competition The Battle of the Bands, where they face stiff opposition from some terrifying Skeletons, Trolls, and Gnomes. ungekürzt.

The Murder of Paolo Mancuso: A Joey Mancuso, Father O'Brian Crime Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
PI Joey Mancuso was just a kid when he watched a stranger walk into a Little Italy bar, shoot his mobster dad in the chest, and calmly walk back out, disappearing into the Manhattan din. The murder was never solved. And the old mob adage “an eye for an eye” went unfulfilled. But now, at death’s door, infamous mobster Tony the Hammer summons Joey and utters three mysterious words: “Wetherly Stevens, Barcelona.” Joey has no doubt he’s just been told how to find his father’s killer. Revenge, deep-seated wounds, that agonizing cold case, and a mysterious series of small town murders all come to a head in the fifth hard-boiled Mancuso/O’Brian mystery - with a dash of international intrigue - when witty ex-cop Joey, with the help of his PI brother, Father Dominic O’Brian, attempts to track down his father’s murderer in Barcelona and Hilton Head, SC. From tantalizing tapas near La Sagrada Familia to bourbon-soaked pulled pork sandwiches at a South Carolina B&B, murder couldn’t get any more flavorful - or more personal. Armed with only those three words, and - true to form - with no plan and very little research, Joey flies straight to Barcelona. But what does a New York wise guy have in common with an investment banker? Perhaps retired partner Alexander Wetherly has answers. But a peaceful Q&A on quaint Daufuskie Island turns murderous when the elderly gentleman who runs Joey’s B&B winds up stabbed to death. And this isn’t the first murder of its kind - it seems Daufuskie Island has a grisly and deeply-seated cold case all its own. One-part seductive international travel story, one part old-school cold-case murder mystery, Joey Mancuso’s antics will prove a delight to PI and police procedural fans of Raymond Chandler, Joseph Wambaugh, Lawrence Block, and Rex Stout. Also recommended for fans of Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer mystery series, and, of course, the Sherlock Holmes adventures. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fred Filbrich.

Master and Commander: Aubrey-Maturin Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 949min
Master and Commander is the first of Patrick O’Brian’s now famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, regarded by many as the greatest series of historical novels ever written. It establishes the friendship between Captain Jack Aubrey RN and Stephen Maturin, who becomes his secretive ship’s surgeon and an intelligence agent. It displays the qualities which have put O’Brian far ahead of any of his competitors: his depiction of the detail of life aboard an early 19th century man-of-war, of weapons, food, conversation and ambience, of the landscape and of the sea. O’Brian’s portrayal of each of these is faultless and the sense of period throughout is acute. His power of characterisation is above all masterly. Ric Jerrom reads this classic sea story from Patrick O’Brien. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ric Jerrom. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/005330/bk_bbcw_005330_sample.mp3.
