The winter of 1139 will disrupt Brother Cadfael's tranquil life in Shrewsbury with the most disturbing events. Raging civil war has sent refugees fleeing north from Worcester. Among them are two orphans from a noble family, a boy of thirteen and an eighteen-year-old girl of great beauty, and their companion, a young Benedictine nun. But the trio, never reaching Shrewsbury, have disappeared somewhere in the wild countryside. Cadfael feels afraid these three lost lambs, but another call for help sends him to the Church of Saint Mary. A wounded monk, found naked and bleeding by the roadside, will surely die without Cadfael's healing arts. Why this holy man has been attacked and what his fevered ravings reveal soon give Brother Cadfael a clue to the fate of the missing travelers. Now Cadfael sets out on a dangerous quest to find them. The road will lead him to a chill and terrible murder and a tale of passion gone awry. And at journey's end awaits a vision of what is best, and worst, in humankind...in Ellis Peters's most stunning depiction yet of love and war. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Gaslit by a Madman: Illuminated Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min

Gaslit by a Madman or The Certifiably True Ravings of a Sectioned Philosopher is a droller take on the subjects of mental health, political issues, and Nietzschean, Christian, Jungian, existentialist, and post-modern philosophy. Don’t be afraid to question your world view; don’t be afraid to think you might be a bit "mad". Who isn’t?It is based on the author Max J. Lewy’s own experience as an oh-so-patient patient in the NHS mental health system. Veritably knocked off his horse by two out-of-control, gaslighting shrinks at the tender age of 23, his writings trace his recovery from this life-changing, iatrogenic incident over the next 12 or so years, exploring the "mad" identity that was placed upon him and the truly insane, or certainly very flawed and eyebrow-raising system which so unfortunately often does such things to quite healthy and relatively rational people.This companion volume, released on his 36th (that's six times six) birthday as a little gift (for "The Beast", presumably...but who knows, maybe Lucifer, maybe Jesus, maybe the old bearded madman at the end of the street with a "The Apocalypse Is Nigh" cardboard sign hung to the back of his bike), contains 36 beautifully illuminated poems, in the manner of William Blake, only with modern-day collaged images from around the world wide web. ungekürzt.

A Blossom of Bright Light: The Jimmy Vega Mysteries 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 656min

Award-winning author Suzanne Chazin returns with a stirring novel of deadly misdeeds and heartbreaking choices in a seasoned homicide cop's hometown. A split-second decision thrusts Detective Jimmy Vega into the epicenter of a disturbing case when a body is found near a gathering place for immigrants in upscale Lake Holly, New York. The cold-bloodedness of the crime and the innocence of the victim torment Vega. But so does the feeling that he's to blame. Could the ravings of a delusional vagrant hold the key to the killing? And if so, why can't the police locate him? In a community gripped by fear of deportation, Vega needs the help of his girlfriend, activist Adele Figueroa, to gain people's trust. But Adele is acting strangely, consumed by a secret that threatens to tear them apart. When the case takes a personal turn, both Vega and Adele discover that Lake Holly's tranquil facade hides a terror of monstrous proportions, poised and ready to strike again. To confront the killer and save their relationship, Vega and Adele must forge a new level of trust - in each other and in their most deeply held beliefs - to expose an evil that threatens to eclipse anything they'd previously imagined. Written with equal parts passion and suspense, A Blossom of Bright Light takes listeners on a journey of stunning revelations to uncover a small town's most sinister secrets - and brightest hopes for the future. Mystery, sacrifice, and unremitting love converge in this gripping work by a master storyteller. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thom Rivera.

Closer to the Chest: Valdemar: The Herald Spy, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min

Herald Mags, the King of Valdemar's Herald-Spy, has been developing a clandestine network of young informants who operate not only on the streets of the capital city of Haven but also in the Great Halls and kitchens of the wealthy and highborn. In his own established alternate personas, Mags observes the Court and the alleys alike, quietly gathering information to keep Haven and the Kingdom safe. His wife, Amily, is growing into her position as the King's Own Herald, though she is irritated to encounter many who still consider her father, Herald Nikolas, to be the real King's Own. Nonetheless, she finds it increasingly useful to be underestimated, for there are dark things stirring in the shadows of Haven and up on the Hill. Someone has discovered many secrets of the women of the Court and the Collegia - and is using those secrets to terrorize and bully them. Someone is targeting the religious houses of women, too, leaving behind destruction and obscene ravings. But who? Someone at the Court? A disgruntled Palace servant? One of the members of the Collegia? Someone in the patriarchal sect of the god Sethor? Could the villain be a woman? And what is this person hoping to achieve? It isn't blackmail, for the letters demand nothing; the aim seems to be the victims' panic and despair. But why? Mags and Amily take steps to minimize the damage while using both magic and wits to find the evildoer. But just as they appear to be on the verge of success, the letter writer tires of terror and is now out for blood. Mags and Amily will have to track down someone who leaves few clues behind and thwart whatever plans have been set in motion, and quickly - before terror turns to murder. ungekürzt.
