    Agaton Sax and Lispington's Grandfather Clock
    This is the full colour hardback edition of Agaton Sax and Lispington's Grandfather Clock. Thanks to Agaton Sax's incredible investigation abilities, a plot to poison Scotland Yard's Inspector Lispington is foiled and an attack on the detective's own home ends up with the capture of two crooked criminals. But where did the criminals come from? What were they looking for? And what could possibly drive them to sabotage Lispington's muffins? Unable to turn a blind eye to the crimes committed, Sweden's finest detective sets out to follow the clues the criminals have left behind, unravelling the mystery that's been thrust upon him... The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature. Now, after many years out of print, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series, newly translated and illustrated for the next generation. This new collection includes the eleventh book which has never before been released in English.

    True Witch Stories: Bizarre Trials, Cruel Tests & Scary Encounters of Witches from the Past: Scary Stories, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min
    Witches are something we generally associate with the distant past, with the medieval world, and the first story in this book is about a witch trial in 17th Century England. However, unlike the vast majority of such trials, most of the people accused of witchcraft in this case happily admitted to not just being witches, they also described how they had sold their souls to the devil. But, most of the stories here are about witches and witchcraft in the recent past. You'll hear about a bizarre ritual murder of a suspected witch in 1940s England which baffled Scotland Yard's most famous detective, a witch trial in 1980s Italy which shocked most of Europe, a witchcraft sacrifice/murder in California in the 1990s, and the story of a man who founded a satanic movement which attracted some of Hollywood's most famous stars. In most parts of the world nowadays, witches are regarded with tolerance and even amusement. Those who practice folk magic are seen as harmless eccentrics and the image of a witch riding on a broomstick has become a staple of Halloween celebrations. But even now there is also a darker side to witchcraft and that's what we'll be exploring in these astounding, frightening, and baffling but true stories.... ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Murder in Retribution: Scotland Yard, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min
    Despite their investigative prowess, Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Michael Sinclair, Lord Acton, and rookie detective Kathleen Doyle stir more than a few feathers at CID Headquarters when their relationship comes to light. But office politics quickly become trivial when a rash of underworld murders shatters London's normally austere façade. With a growing list of successfully solved cases to her name, the ever-dauntless Doyle shakes off the gossip and sets out to investigate the escalating turf war. As the body count climbs, Doyle uncovers a seedy world where fractious members of the Russian Mafia and an Irish terrorist group are fighting for control of a lucrative underground business. But their crooked deals and volleying acts of revenge are almost too much for Scotland Yard to keep up with, and when Doyle notices that Acton seems unusually troubled by the crimes, she begins to wonder what sparked the conflict in the first place. Perhaps there's nothing more to the murders than under-the-table business dealings gone awry. Or perhaps a single act of vigilante justice fanned the flames that ignited a vicious turf war. As Doyle and Acton fight to not become the next victims, they'll find that the truth may be best left unspoken and retribution may be best left to fate. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Black Museum, Vol. 1: The Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 304min
    Here are 12 episodes of the classic mystery radio show The Black Museum. The Black Museum was a weekly radio crime drama produced for the BBC in 1951 and based on real-life cases from the files of Scotland Yard. Orson Welles, who was living in London at the time, was both host and narrator for these dramatized stories based on Scotland Yard's Black Museum, which housed its collection of murder weapons and various ordinary objects once associated with historical crime cases. Walking through the museum, Welles would pause at one of the exhibits, and his description of an artifact served as a device to lead into a tale of terror or a brutal murder. In the weekly opening, Welles stated, "The Black Museum...a repository of death. Here in the grim stone structure on the Thames, which houses Scotland Yard, is a warehouse of homicide, where everyday objects...a woman's shoe, a tiny white box, a quilted robe...all are touched by murder." The series aired in the United States in 1952 on the Mutual Network. It was produced by Harry Alan Towers. Ira Marion wrote the scripts, and Sidney Torch composed and conducted the music for the series. "A Blued .22 Caliber Pistol", "A Wool Jacket", "The Canvas Bag", "An Open-End Wrench", "The Tan Shoe", "The Notes", "The Spotted Bed Sheet", "An Old Wooden Mallet", "A Champagne Glass", "The Small White Boxes", "The Raincoat", and "The Gas Receipt".
