Song of the Dead: DI Westphall Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 678min
Book 1 in the DI Westphall series.A dead man walks into a police station. He tells a tale - bizarre as it is grotesque - of kidnap and organ harvesting. John Baden's story of being held prisoner for 12 years sounds far-fetched - but it's all about to get much, much stranger. DI Ben Westphall has been given the case because of his background in MI6. He also has a knack for getting inside people's heads and seeing things others would miss. Westphall is no ordinary detective, and this is no ordinary case. When his suspects start dying, Westphall realises someone is killing to cover up the truth. But what exactly is the truth? To find out, he'll have to question everything he's been told, before there's no one left to ask. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angus King.

Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 224min
Marking a significant departure from Noah Cicero's fictional and poetic works, Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal is a lucid philosophical treatise. Rather than entertain dogma, Cicero approaches a discussion of Buddhism from the refreshing perspective of the everyman, providing a profound spiritual analysis as well as a sharp critique of capitalism. There are even some pretty good ghost stories. "Buddhism isn't for scholars and priests and masters. It's not a religion. It's for anyone who wants to find a better way. It's practical, it's logical, it's sensible and it's real. Just like this book." "Far too many books about Buddhism get bogged down in scholarly doublespeak. Others are full of far-fetched fantasies. Noah's book isn't like that. It's a real book for real people." (Brad Warner, author of Hardcore Zen) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sara L. Morsey.

Waiting for Teddy Williams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 543min
In "one of the funniest and most heartfelt baseball stories in recent memory" (Publishers Weekly), Howard Frank Mosher returns to Kingdom Common, Vermont, to spin a touching coming-of-age tale in an America that has almost disappeared.

A. everything he knows about baseball. Filled with an engaging array of rambunctious, memorable characters and brimming with faith, Waiting for Teddy Williams is an irresistible read that reminds us that dreams - no matter how far-fetched - sometimes do come true. ungekürzt.

Channel Cats , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
A buried treasure and a cat fishing tournament where the winners are predestined come together in Unis Shellington IV's hysterically funny novella Channel Cats. Based in northern Louisiana, Terrence Ida (fisherman extraordinaire) invites his new '"best friend" Newby to join him in the upcoming cat fishing tournament on Manassas Brown Bayou. Beatrice (treasure hunter extraordinaire) invites Newby to join her search of F. I. P. (workstation for all, a mid-sized machine shop) for "Hap's Money", a pile of loot he was accused of stealing over 20 years ago. These two facets of Newby's life (treasure hunting and cat fishing) are both blended together, and on a collision course within Unis's tale, one that will have you laughing out loud as Beatrice and Terrence lead Newby on their own far-fetched adventures. ungekürzt.

When Sam and Henry cannot fall asleep, their mother tells them a tale about a little girl named Maggie, whose world is full of magic and secrets the faeries know, an enchanted world, most others can't sense. Maggie wonders whether she is a child, or could she be something else. And she wonders about the world too. "Do you know what the world is?" she asks her friend.

22 November 1963: Dallas, Texas. US President John F Kennedy is assassinated as his motorcade passes through the city's streets. The assassin is soon captured, and revealed to be disaffected Communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald. Did Oswald act alone, or did he have help? Is the Bilderberg Group simply a group of international financiers concerned with promoting democracy throughout the world, or is there a more sinister power at work? And what really happened to Princess Diana's Mercedes one warm August night in a Paris underpass? Conspiracy looks at a range of the most interesting theories of this nature, from the risibly far-fetched, such as the belief that the world is run by the lizard people, to the only-too-true and tragic such as the overthrow and murder of Chilean President Salvador Allende. ungekürzt.

The third and fourth novels in the #1 New York Times bestselling Kinsey Millhone series by Sue Grafton: C Is for Corpse & D Is for Deadbeat. In "C" is for Corpse, Bobby Callahan approaches PI Kinsey Millhone with a far-fetched story: a murderous assault by a tailgating car on a lonely rural road, a roadside smash into a canyon four hundred feet below, his Porsche a bare ruin, his best friend dead. Bobby, having suffered memory loss in the crash, claims someone had tried to kill him, but doesn't know who or why. And he's convinced Kinsey is the only one who can find out. In "D" is for Deadbeat, a man calling himself Alvin Limardo approaches Kinsey with a job that seems cut-and-dried: locate a kid who'd done him a favor and pass on a check for $25,000. It's only later, after he stiffs her for her retainer, that Kinsey finds out his name is actually John Dagget, and his an ex-con, inveterate liar, and now dead. Kinsey soon realizes that Daggett had an awful lot of enemies-but would any of them go as far as murder?- Shop: buecher
