    When a wealthy banker's daughter goes missing from Edinburgh University, Detective Inspector John Rebus has little to go on in his investigations.

Before long, however, Rebus has a hunch that there is more to this missing person's report than meets the eye. His first clue is found in the student's home village: it is a carved wooden doll lain inside a six-inch coffin.

    Marty Gecko and the Banker's Daughter: A Marty Gecko Mysteries, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
    “I need you to find my daughter. She’s been missing for eight months.”If you’re a cop, you don’t want to hear those words because eight months means there’s no hope at all. If you’re a private detective, you might like those words because parents will keep you in billable hours for a long time. On any given Thursday, though, you don’t want to hear those words if you’re a private detective like Marty Gecko. Thursday’s aren’t work days. Thursdays are drinking days.Besides, Marty doesn’t like real cases. He takes cases like cheating spouses, tracking out debtors who skip town and catching employees stealing from the register. Those are easy cases. They don’t take any time at all and that means he has plenty of time left over for the important things in life, important things like good single malt scotch and...well, that’s all that’s really important in Marty’s life at the moment. After all, what good is co-owning a bar if you don’t get to drink the good stuff?Co-owning. That’s the real problem. It’s hard to blow off a case when Bobbi stares at him the way she does and wiggles her rear end the way she does and makes comments the way she does and keeps being Bobbi the way she does. He doesn’t want the case but he’ll take it and no matter how much he’d rather find his way through a fifth or two of the best the Highlands have to offer; he won’t be able to set it aside until Sandra Knockee gets home or gets justice.Maybe just one glass first. Make it a tall glass. Damned cases shouldn’t start on Thursdays.Have a look inside:Clearly, the Father above appreciates my sense of humor and attention to detail because Heaven waited for me on my desk.Heaven in this case was the still one-quarter full bottle of eighteen-year single malt scotch, and I showed remarkable restraint (out of respect for the aforementioned Father) and used the glass still on the desk instead of drinking right out of the bottle. It went down smooth, and I ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neill Thorne. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/174659/bk_acx0_174659_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    A Life on the Black River in Arkansas: A Pioneering Banker's Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
    The Black River flows from Missouri into Arkansas, east of Branson and west of the Bootheel. It meanders where the foothills of the Ozarks begin to rise out of the Mississippi plain. The area was sparsely populated when E. R. Coleman was a young man. Like the population they served, businesses were modest, mostly small, and scattered. Arkansas was still the Bear State; slogans boasting that it was - or predicting that it would become - the "Land of Opportunity" were yet to be conceived. Coleman's early years were shaped by the Great Depression, by a family ethic that dictated working as long as there was sunlight in the day, and by a region bordered on the west by Oklahoma's Dust Bowl and on the east by the mighty - sometimes vengeful - Mississippi River. Told in his own words, this is a genuine American Horatio Alger story of hardscrabble beginnings, working longer and harder than today's youth might be able to imagine, and plain dealing from cotton fields to board rooms. ungekürzt.

    To Become an Investment Banker: Girl Banker's Bullet Point Guide to Highflying Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
    So, you want to be an investment banker, huh? Well, you're looking in the right place. This is the only book on the market that guides you right through the process from where and when to apply, to the most likely interview questions and even how to impress your boss from day one ensuring you keep that job. Job applications to investment banks have shot up due to all the media attention that the industry has received but there are fewer jobs available: The unemployment rate for 16 to 24-year-olds has risen sharply in the current recession, from 15% in 2008 to 19% in 2009 and then to 20% in 2010 (poverty.org.uk). Just 54% of Americans aged 18 to 24 currently have jobs. That's the lowest employment rate for this age group since the government began keeping track in 1948. (Pew Research Center) With the top investment banks now combing the world over to find the very best person for the job, you need to stay a step ahead. To help you succeed, To Become an Investment Banker gives you all the information you need to have at your fingertips as well as extra advice to ensure you stand out from the crowd. Much of the information is presented in a bullet point format ensuring clarity and absolute ease of access. In addition, the laid-back, chatty tone of this semi-autobiographical book makes it an enjoyable read as well as an essential guide. Heather Katsonga-Woodward started her investment banking journey in 2004 with an internship at Goldman Sachs. Since then, she has picked up a mass of useful tips that helped her survive, even during the whirlwinds of the 2007-2009 credit crunch. With input from four other investment bankers, To Become an Investment Banker encompasses 25 years of collective banking expertise. This book is the perfect starting point if your sights are set on working in any major financial center. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Heather Katsonga-Woodward.

    The Peach Rebellion (eBook, ePUB)
    From the author of The Running Dreams comes a heart-swelling historical tale of friendship, family, and the power of sisterhood to help heal the wounds of the past and step boldly into the future of post-WWII America. Ginny Rose and Peggy were best friends at seven, picking peaches on hot summer days. Peggy's family owned the farm, and Ginny Rose's were pickers, escaping the Oklahoma dust storms. That didn't matter to them then, but now, ten years, hard miles, and a world war later, Ginny Rose's family is back in town and their differences feel somehow starker. Especially since Peggy's new best friend, Lisette, is a wealthy banker's daughter. Still, there's no denying what these girls have in common-families with great fissures that are about to break wide open. So when Ginny Rose imagines a radical plan to try to heal the rift in her family, these three not-quite-friends come together to see it through. They sense that this is a moment for them all-to prove they have the power to make things happen. To know that they can build better futures for themselves in a changing world.
