The Voice of the Violin: Inspector Montalbano, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 357min
The Voice of the Violin by Andrea Camilleri is fourth in the best-selling Inspector Montalbano series. The commissioner kept looking at him with an expression that combined contempt and commiseration, apparently discerning unmistakable signs of senile dementia in the inspector. 'I'm going to speak very frankly, Montalbano. I don't have a very high opinion of you.' 'Nor I of you,' the inspector replied bluntly. Montalbano's gruesome discovery of a naked young woman suffocated in her bed immediately sets him on a search for her killer. Among the suspects are her aging husband, a famous doctor; a shy admirer, now disappeared; an antiques-dealing lover from Bologna; and the victim's friend Anna, whose charms Montalbano cannot help but appreciate. But it is a mysterious, reclusive violinist who holds the key to this murder.... The Voice of the Violin is followed by the fifth novel in this compelling mystery series, Excursion to Tindari. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Meadows.

The Search for the Lost Army: The National Geographic and Harvard University Expedition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
In one of history's greatest ancient disasters, a Persian army of 50,000 soldiers was suffocated by a hurricane-force sandstorm in 525 BC in Egypt's Western Desert. No trace of this conquering army, hauling huge quantities of looted gold and silver, has ever surfaced. Nearly 25 centuries later on October 6, 1981, Egyptian Military Intelligence, the CIA, and Israel's Mossad secretly orchestrated the assassination of President Anwar Sadat, hoping to prevent Egypt's descent - as had befallen Iran two years before - into the hands of Islamic zealots. Because he had made peace with Israel and therefore had become a marked man in Egypt and the Middle East, Sadat had to be sacrificed to preserve the status quo. These two distant events become intimately interwoven in the story of Alex Goodman, who defeats impossible obstacles as he leads a Harvard University/National Geographic Society archaeological expedition into Egypt's Great Sand Sea in search of the Lost Army of Cambyses, the demons that haunt him, and the woman he loves. Based on a true story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Kruse. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/050132/bk_acx0_050132_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible
