Bad Blood: A Kate Shugak Mystery, Book 21 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
New York Times best-selling author Dana Stabenow's latest, Bad Blood, finds Kate Shugak entangled in a bitter tribal rivalry and murder. In Alaska, 100 years of bad blood between the villages of Kushtaka and Kuskulana come to a boil when the body of a young Kushtaka ne'er-do-well is found wedged in a fish wheel. Sergeant Jim Chopin's prime suspect is a Kuskulana man who is already in trouble in both villages for falling in love across the river. But when the suspect disappears, members of both tribes refuse to speak to Jim. When a second murder that looks suspiciously like payback occurs, Jim has no choice but to call in Kate Shugak for help. This time, though, her Park relationships may not be enough to sort out the truth hidden in the tales of tragedy and revenge. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marguerite Gavin.

The Fast Plates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
Tom McCay's expert story telling envelops you like the embrace of a warm fireside on a cold winter's night. In fact, this novelette was conceived in the hemlock and hardwood-filled Sipsey Wilderness of Bankhead Forest in North Alabama. Tom's clever and distinctly southern idiomatic language makes each sentence crackle with imagery and artifice. Equal parts Stephen King and Shelby Foote, he transports us from the present to the past in seconds. This first person narrative is so plausibly explained that one never doubts the validity of its central premise. In The Fast Plates, Tom McCay spins a yarn about a ne'er-do-well somewhat recently discredited master craftsman of ersatz civil war artifacts who comes across the single most important genuine find of his life. After he's been exposed, what can he do when he gets his hands on the real thing? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas R. McCay.

The Soldier's Scoundrel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
A scoundrel who lives in the shadows. Jack Turner grew up in the darkness of London's slums, born into a life of crime and willing to do anything to keep his belly full and his siblings safe. Now he uses the tricks and schemes of the underworld to help those who need the kind of assistance only a scoundrel can provide. His distrust of the nobility runs deep, and his services do not extend to the gorgeous high-born soldier who personifies everything Jack will never be. A soldier untarnished by vice. After the chaos of war, Oliver Rivington craves the safe predictability of a gentleman's life - one that doesn't include sparring with a ne'er-do-well who flouts the law at every turn. But Jack tempts Oliver like no other man has before. Soon his yearning for the unapologetic criminal is matched only by Jack's pleasure in watching his genteel polish crumble every time they're together. Two men meant only for each other. ungekürzt.

Nail's Crossing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
This debut mystery from a fresh voice in Southwestern fiction stakes out the common ground between Tony Hillerman, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy. In a remote corner of the Chickasaw Nation, tribal Lighthorse policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond discover the buzzard-ravaged body of Majesty Tate, a young drifter with a blank past. They comb Oklahoma's rock prairie, river bottoms, and hard-bitten small towns for traces of her last days. Tate was seen dancing with Austin Love, a violent local meth dealer fresh out of prison. An Oklahoma City motel clerk connects her with an aspiring politician. An oil-patch roustabout and a shady itinerant preacher provide dubious leads. Ne'er-do-wells start dying off. A fluke lead propels Maytubby deep into Louisiana's bayou country, where a Cajun shrimper puts him on the scent of a bizarre conspiracy. He and Bond reunite in the Chickasaw Nation for the eventual face-off at Nail's Crossing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Bramhall.
