I'm Travelling Alone: Holger Munch & Mia Kruger, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 885min
When a six-year-old girl is found dead, hanging from a tree, the only clue the Oslo Police have to work with is an airline tag around her neck. It reads, 'I'm travelling alone'.

But to complete the team, he must convince his erstwhile partner, Mia Krüger - a brilliant but troubled investigator - to return from the solitary island where she has retreated with plans to take her own life. Reviewing the evidence, Mia identifies something no one else has noticed - a thin line carved into the dead girl's fingernail: the number one. Instinctively she knows this is only the beginning.

Prince Dara Shikoh's Compass of Truth: The Esoteric Practice of Sultan-ul-Azkar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 107min
This is a classic Sufi text first written in Persian by the renowned Prince Dara Shikoh, who was the eldest son of Shah Jahan, the famous Mogul Emperor who built the exquisite Taj Mahaj. It describes in vivid detail the erstwhile secret meditational practice of breath retention, manta repetition, and listening to a divine inner sound. First translated into English in 1912, the MSAC Philosophy Group has decided to republish this insightful work in a new, inexpensive edition. The book now includes a short introduction by Professor David Christopher Lane, who connects the Sufi practice of listening to the sound current with other yogic systems, including shabd and nad yoga. This 17th century text should be of keen interest to those interested in meditation and in various shabd yoga groups around the world, including Radhasoami, Eckankar, Quan Yin, MSIA, MasterPath, and others. ungekürzt.

Windward Passage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1258min
From the writer whose work has been called "truly, hellishly gritty" (Los Angeles Times) comes a gnarled mystery with shades of Philip K. Dick and James Ellroy. In a parallel near future, a ship named for a jellyfish sinks into the Caribbean with its captain chained to the mast. Left behind is a logbook missing ten pages, presidential DNA hidden in a brick of smuggled cocaine, and a nearly completed novel. Tipsy, the dead sailor's sister, and Red Means, his erstwhile employer, travel from San Francisco to the Caribbean and back as they attempt to unravel a mystery that rapidly widens from death at sea to international conspiracy. With verve and humor to match the Illuminatus! trilogy, Nisbet has fashioned an engaging facsimile of our modern world, albeit with snappier dialogue, amped-up technology, and even more clearly stated political prejudices. ungekürzt.

Mumbai (eBook, ePUB)
Museum objects are time machines. They allow us a peek into a civilisation long past or bring us close to today's issues. Mumbai: A City through Objects tells the story of a city through unique objects in the collection of the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, the erstwhile Victoria and Albert Museum, Bombay. The city and the Museum developed together, each inflecting the other's evolution. Like all great global cities, Mumbai has an extraordinary history which many writers have explored. No one has, however, interpreted the city through its artefacts, and the objects that were produced by its many craftsmen, which bespeak the efforts of the many ordinary people who participated as much as its great heroes in its making. Like the city, the Museum too has experienced a metamorphosis. It won UNESCO's 2005 Asia Pacific Award for a comprehensive restoration and has pioneered contemporary art exhibitions that are presented in the historic space as a rebuttal to colonial exclusionary politics. It has won many awards for achievements and is recognised as a leader among museums in India.- Shop: buecher

The Sowers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 784min
A romantic adventure yarn of plotting and corruption largely set against the panorama of Imperialist Russia but with some of the skullduggery taking place in the major capitals of Europe. An old Etonian and half Russian, Prince Paul Alexis, inherits the Osterno estate in the Steppes. Naive and honest, but helped by experienced campaigner Steinmetz, he forms a progressive but illegal Charity League to succour the needs of the starving uneducated peasantry who are ravaged by cholera. When the League is betrayed there are severe consequences for the neighbouring nobility and Paul himself only just escapes a violent death at the hands of his own serfs. Who has betrayed them? Is it Claude de Chauxfille Paul's erstwhile rival in love or is the beautiful Etta, his wife, keeping more secrets than he or Steinmetz can guess? With intrigue and deception at every turn The Sowers was Merriman's biggest best seller eventually reprinted 30 times. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Joyce.

Brilliant Devices: A Steampunk Adventure Novel, Magnificent Devices, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
Book 4 of the Magnificent Devices series! A lady of resources has the power to change the world-if she can stay alive long enough to do it. Lady Claire Trevelyan had been looking forward to glittering balls, congenial society, and relief from pursuit during her stay with Lord and Lady Dunsmuir in the Canadas. Well, perhaps not entirely. Being pursued by a handsome airship captain is rather diverting, especially when it appears her erstwhile employer, Andrew Malvern, is becoming much too distracted by a certain blond mechanic. But a shot fired in the night puts an end to such diversions, and instead plunges her and her orphaned band of children into a fight for their very survival. Between secret conversations at the highest levels of society and skullduggery in the diamond mines, Claire must discover who is behind a series of alarming attempts on her friends' lives-before her mother is compelled to make funeral arrangements yet again. ungekürzt.

Point of Origin: Kay Scarpetta, Book 9, Hörbuch, Digital, 355min
Carrie Grethen, partner in crime to William Temple Gault, has escaped from prison. Before she does so, she sends Kay Scarpetta a message that makes it all too clear she blames her for Gault's death, and has specific, if cryptic, plans for revenge. Wary and quite shaken, Scarpetta still has to get on with an investigation into the death of an unknown female in a fire that has destroyed the isolated farmhouse home of her erstwhile political boss. The post mortem reveals that the woman was stabbed before the fire was started, but while Scarpetta and her colleagues are puzzling over means and motive, they are called out to the scene of another fire and another murder. The pattern is the same, the answers as elusive, and then Benton disappears while following up a tip-off. With appalling clarity, Scarpetta sees that Carrie has set up a scenario in which she can manipulate them all - and in which she appears to have the lethal upper hand. Language: English.

Pies & Poison: Mrs. Pomolo Investigates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 142min
Tragedy strikes the sleepy town of Wrangler’s Hill, Indiana, when a retired media giant, James Orion, is found dead in his parked car. Immediately, amateur sleuths Geneva and Iris suspect foul play: there are faint skid marks leading to the car as if he were dragged and dumped there. But who would kill an old man who spent the last ten years of his life in quiet retirement, rarely leaving his house? Lots of people, as it turns out. As Geneva and Iris investigate, they uncover a murderer’s row of erstwhile friends and acquaintances who felt betrayed by Orion and had reason to seek vengeance. For starters, there is the informant’s family Orion recklessly endangered, and the woman he loved and betrayed....As the investigation races on, Geneva and Iris grapple with a mystery more deadly than any they’ve faced previously. For this time, they must confront someone who has likely killed once and is just desperate enough to do it again.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patricia Shade.
