The Night at the Crossroads: Inspector Maigret; Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
A new translation of Georges Simenon's sensational tale of deceit and back-stabbing in an isolated community, part of the new Maigret series. She came forward, the outlines of her figure blurred in the half-light. She came forward like a film star, or rather like the ideal woman in an adolescent's dream. 'I gather you wish to talk to me, Inspector...but first of all please sit down....' Her accent was more pronounced than Carl's. Her voice sang, dropping on the last syllable of the longer words. Maigret has been interrogating Carl Andersen for 17 hours without a confession. He's either innocent or a very good liar. So why was the body of a diamond merchant found at his isolated mansion? Why is his sister always shut away in her room? And why does everyone at Three Widows Crossroads have something to hide? Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. Linda Coverdale is the awarding-winning translator of many French works and has been honoured with the title of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters for her contribution to French literature. ungekürzt.

The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien: Inspector Maigret; Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min
Georges Simenon's haunting tale about the lengths to which people will go to escape from guilt, translated by Linda Coverdale as part of the new Penguin Maigret series. A first ink drawing showed a hanged man swinging from a gallows on which perched an enormous crow. And there were at least twenty other etchings and pen or pencil sketches that had the same leitmotif of hanging. On the edge of a forest: a man hanging from every branch. A church steeple: beneath the weathercock, a human body dangling from each arm of the cross... Below another sketch were written four lines from François Villon's Ballade of the Hanged Men. On a trip to Brussels, Maigret unwittingly causes a man's suicide, but his own remorse is overshadowed by the discovery of the sordid events that drove the desperate man to shoot himself.

Unfinished Business, Part 1: The McKinnon Legends, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min
Fate can be kind. She can also be a spiteful bitch. That is something Connor Holden, earl of Featherstone, has discovered through firsthand experience. But if he thinks Fate's a witch...just wait. He's about to meet her sisters - Destiny and Luck. They will make Fate's deeds look like child's play. Just because time travel is possible does not mean time stands still. Connor doesn't care if it stands still or not. For him time no longer holds any meaning. Much has happened in the five years since Reagan disappeared through the curtain of time, taking Cullen McKinnon with her in the hope of saving the young knight's life. The least of those events is Henry's awarding Connor the titles of duke of Featherstone and earl of Rockport. Upon Connor's request, the earldom was passed into his care to hold until the rightful heir could take possession. No one but Nic, Morgan, and he knew that the heir is Reagan O'Riley. He just has to keep the faith that she will eventually return. Connor has always been a prime catch, but this latest news sends his stock soaring to new heights. The titles did not come without stipulation from the king. "You must marry, Connor, and make it soon. I, like you, have little patience these days." Henry is quite emphatic. Conjecture is rampant, and expectation is running high in the ranks of the nobility. All are anxiously awaiting the announcement. Who exactly is to become his duchess? Connor is running out of time. In this instance he prays time will stand still. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cait Frizzell. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/049635/bk_acx0_049635_sample.mp3.

Warriors: Extraordinary Tales from the Battlefield , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 953min
With an introduction read by Max Hastings. An exhilarating and uplifting account of the lives of 16 ‘warriors’ from the last three centuries, hand-picked for their bravery or extraordinary military experience by the eminent military historian, author and ex-editor of the Daily Telegraph, Sir Max Hastings. Over the course of 40 years of writing about war, Max Hastings has grown fascinated by outstanding deeds of derring-do on the battlefield (land, sea, or air) - and by their practitioners. He takes as his examples 16 people from different nationalities in modern history - including Napoleon’s ‘blessed fool’ Baron Marcellin de Marbot (the model for Conan Doyle’s Brigadier Gerard); Sir Harry Smith, whose Spanish wife, Juana, became his military companion on many a campaign in the early 19th century; Lieutenant John Chard, an unassuming engineer who became the hero of Rorke’s Drift in the Zulu wars; and Squadron Leader Guy Gibson, the ‘dam buster’ whose heroism in the skies of World War II earned him the nation's admiration, but few friends. Every army, in order to prevail on the battlefield, needs a certain number of people capable of courage beyond the norm. In this book Max Hastings investigates what this norm might be – and how it has changed over the centuries. While celebrating feats of outstanding valour, he also throws a beady eye over the awarding of medals for gallantry - and why it is that so often the most successful warriors rarely make the grade as leaders of men. Max Hastings studied at Charterhouse and Oxford and became a foreign correspondent, reporting from more than 60 countries and 11 wars for BBC TV and the London Evening Standard. He has won many awards for his journalism. Among his best-selling books, Bomber Command won the Somerset Maugham Prize, and both Overlord and Battle for the Falklands won the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year Prize. After 10 years as editor and then editor-in-chi ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nigel Carrington. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/018211/bk_adbl_018211_sample.mp3.
