    The Lightning-Rod Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
    After spending the summer of 1853 in the Berkshire Mountains, where he supposedly had a real-life encounter with a lightning-rod salesman, Melville published "The Lightning-Rod Man". At the end of this short story, the lightning-rod salesman is exposed for the fraud that he is. However, that will not keep his successors from fanning out to the Middle West, where lightning storms abound and farmers are gullible. On another level, the story can be interpreted as a confrontation between Good and Evil. Through description and diction, the narrator is understood as a follower of God, someone who believes in The Almighty watching over him. On the other hand, the lighning-rod man is seen as a negative character, someone who only has faith in the product he's peddling. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Lawlor.

    Murder Unprompted , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 303min
    I want you all out, gone, dead, exterminated!" high strung Alex Household had cried out when, after a lifetime of struggle, he lost the starring role in a new play called The Hooded Owl to an actor who couldn't remember his lines. But did that mean that it was Alex who had shot the leading man dead during his climactic speech? Charles Paris, for one, could see many logical suspects: from the devious producer, to the gullible playwright, to the young starlet's overprotective mother. But before our middle-aged actor-drinker-detective could begin his investigation, he was in for a shock: the powers-that-be chose him as the new leading man. Finally, Charles would discover stardom, and what a dead man saw in the last moments of his life! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geoffrey Howard.

    The Case of the Three-Ring Puzzle (eBook, ePUB)
    "You'll face two charges," I said. "One for murder and one for extortion."Ludovic Travers remembered Brian Jedmont as a photographer whose ambition outran his sense of ethics. The Broad Street Detective Agency had stopped using his services in unfortunate circumstances, and Travers was accordingly surprised when one day Jedmont turned up at the office anxious to become a client on his own account. Specifically, he wanted Travers to investigate an American who was busily beguiling Jedmont's aunt into the purchase of some questionable oil shares. Was it the old story of the con-man and the gullible wealthy widow? Travers agreed to try to find the answer, but in doing so he became involved in matters of blackmail and murder as well. A three-ring puzzle, in fact, and as ingeniously intriguing a one as that old master of the genuine detective story, Christopher Bush, has ever challenged his readers to solve.The Case of the Three-Ring Puzzle was originally published in 1962. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans."Admirers of Ludovic Travers will find him at his best in this intricately-turned baffler." Boston Globe¿"First rate." Washington Star

What they lack in experience, they make up for in ingenuity! As though the football jock and his gullible mother aren't enough to cope with, her brother Jerry also seems hell-bent on causing trouble - as usual!
