    House of Bathory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 781min
    In the early 1600s, Elizabeth Báthory, the infamous Blood Countess, ruled Čachtice Castle in the hinterlands of Slovakia. During bizarre nightly rites, she tortured and killed the young women she had taken on as servants. A devil, a demon, the terror of Royal Hungary — she bathed in their blood to preserve her own youth. 400 years later, echoes of the Countess’s legendary brutality reach Aspen, Colorado. Betsy Path, a psychoanalyst of uncommon intuition, has a breakthrough with sullen teenager Daisy Hart. Together, they are haunted by the past, as they struggle to understand its imprint upon the present. Betsy and her troubled but perceptive patient learn the truth: The curse of the House of Bathory lives still and has the power to do evil even now. The story, brimming with palace intrigue, memorable characters intimately realized, and a wealth of evocative detail, travels back and forth between the familiar, modern world and a seventeenth-century Eastern Europe brought startlingly to life. ungekürzt.

    Greed: The Old Pirate: A Tom Walker Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 47min
    The fourth Tom Walker mystery addresses the issues surrounding the grandchild of a grocery baron who wants to upset the anonymity of the firm and family by moving into major liberal cities such as Boston and New York, which will stir up media interest, criticism of their wealth and power, instead of quietly serving the small towns of America between Worcester, MA west to Gary, Indiana, and north to non-Detroit Michigan and south to non-Louisville, Kentucky, without controversy as they have done for over 50 years. Young Henry, the grandchild, brings family battles to the surface between the desire to be relevant by moving into the big Eastern cities versus staying quietly, and boringly, in what many consider the hinterlands. Investment advisor John Calthrop and Tom Walker resolve matters for the family in a Patricia Highsmith manner (author of The Talented Mr. Ripley and Strangers on a Train). ungekürzt.

    The Operators
    'An impressive feat of journalism by a Washington outsider who seemed to know more about what was going on in Washington than most insiders did' New York Times General Stanley McChrystal, innovative commander of international and US forces in Afghanistan, was living large. During a spring 2010 trip across Europe he was accompanied by journalist Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone, who looked on as McChrystal and his staff partied and openly bashed the Obama administration. Hasting's published piece aroused a political firestorm: McChrystal was unceremoniously fired. The Operators gives us a shocking behind-the-scenes portrait of Allied military commanders, their high-stakes manoeuvres and bureaucratic in-fighting. Hastings takes us on patrol missions in the Afghan hinterlands and to hotel bars where spies and expensive hookers participate in nation-building gone awry, revealing a hellish complexity and, he fears, an unwinnable war.

    The Palace of Varieties , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min, (USK 18)
    The gay, raucous and raunchy adventures of a hunky, horny naïf in 1930s London.Paul Lemoyne is a callow but resourceful 18-year-old who leaves the hinterlands for the big city. A steamy tearoom tryst initiates him into London's gay underground and lands him a job at the seedy Palace of Varieties, where the nonstop backstage blow jobs make the tacky onstage acts seem tame. "As hairy as a donkey and hung like one as well!" as one of his astonished bedmates notes, the indomitable Paul rises quickly from stagehand doing every man in sight to well-heeled rent boy and reluctant thief. He can't pass a salon, studio, back alley, or bathhouse without sampling its erotic possibilities. But when he falls into the clutches of butch, sadistic impresario Albert Abbott, even Paul's country-boy mettle may not help him. James Lear's distinctive mix of page-turning prose, droll humor, explicit sex, and memorable cast of sex-crazed studs of all ages, shapes, and inclinations make this an exciting companion to The Back Passage and Hot Valley. ungekürzt.

    Skinner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 795min
    Known by the name of the psychological experiment that fostered his emotionless brutality, Skinner founded his career in "asset protection" on fear. To touch anyone under Skinner's protection was to invite destruction. A savagely effective methodology, until Skinner's CIA handlers began to fear him as much as his enemies did and banished him to the hinterlands of the intelligence community. Now, a cyber-terrorist attack on the US power grid is about to end that long exile. His asset is Jae, a roboticist with a gift for seeing the underlying systems violently shaping a new era of global guerrilla warfare. At the root of is all is a young boy, the innocent seed of a plot grown in the slums of Mumbai. Brought to flower, that plot will tip the balance of world power in a perilous new direction. A combination of Le Carre spycraft with Stephenson techno-philosophy from the novelist hailed by the Washington Post as "the voice of twenty-first century crime fiction," Skinner is Charlie Huston's masterpiece - a new kind of thriller for a new kind of world. ungekürzt.

    Into the Maelstrom: Citizen, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 946min
    Entry number two in the Citizen series, sequel to Into the Hinterlands. Science fiction adventure on the frontier realms of an empire written by biological scientist Dr. John Lambshead and nationally best-selling author David Drake. The right man for a very bad job The Cutter Stream colonies were at peace. If everybody behaved reasonably, that peace could last a thousand years. Allen Allenson had known war; it had made him peaceful and reasonable. He was far too experienced to believe the same was true of all his fellow colonists, however, let alone the government of the distant homeworld across the Bight. War was coming, a war the colonies had to win if they were ever to be more than prison camps and a dumping ground for incompetent noblemen. The experience that had caused Allenson to hate war made him the only man who could lead the colonial army. Allenson knew he wasn't really a general, but he understood his fellow colonists better than any homeworld general could. He would free the Cutter Stream, or he would die trying. What Allen Allenson would not do, what he would never do, was quit. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Holsopple.

Leaving behind everything she knows, she finds herself ensconced in a fuchsia-colored cottage in the swampy hinterlands of the Florida panhandle. Far from the grown sons who don't return her calls, her only companion her dog, Liana decides to put her best foot forward and get to know whoever lives in the blue house across the street, the only neighbors within sight of her new home. But minutes after a teenage boy, Justin, answers the door and wins her over with his shy kindness, his face appears on the TV screen and is immediately recognizable as that of the child who was taken from his parents two years ago. Worse, Justin's abductor has no intention of letting Liana go. A powerful will to live - and to save Justin too - seizes hold of Liana. She will fight tooth and nail to survive. But does she have what it takes to thwart a wily, depraved psychopath for whom abuse is a way of life...and killing is routine? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Allison McLemore.
