  Simple Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min

  Months after Shane Martin's sister vanishes, life crashes down, and he finds himself the guardian of a nephew he never knew existed. Blissfully ignorant, Shane trades in his musician status, full of late nights and fast women, for midnight feedings and lullabies. But when Kate McAlister, his prissy, stuck-up caseworker, arrives unexpectedly, he realizes he could lose everything. Kate isn't impressed by Shane's messy bachelor pad, rocker image, or sexy tattoos. As a matter of fact, she finds it all very sophomoric. The sooner she's off the case the better. Everything from his long hair to his sarcastic attitude threatens her professionalism. But when he lowers his guard and asks for help, she discovers a side to this tattooed musician she can't resist. Behind this simple man is an unsung hero. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Callanan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/049783/bk_acx0_049783_sample.mp3.

  Wife 22 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min

  A deliciously revealing exposé about all the juicy stuff that matters: parenting, sex, aging, happiness, security, and the on-going tug of war between love and marriage. Maybe it was because I was about to turn the same age my mother was when I lost her. Maybe it was because my husband and I were running out of things to say to each other. But when the online study called “Marriage in the 21st Century” showed up in my inbox, I had no idea it would change my life. It wasn’t long before I was assigned both a pseudonym (Wife 22) and a caseworker (Researcher 101). And, just like that, I found myself answering questions. Before the study, I was Alice Buckle: wife and mother, drama teacher and Facebook chatter, downloader of memories and Googler of solutions. But these days, I’m also Wife 22. And somehow, my correspondence with Researcher 101 has taken an unexpectedly personal turn. Soon, I’ll have to make a decision - one that will affect my family, my marriage, and my whole life. But at the moment, I’m too busy answering questions. As it turns out, confession can be a very powerful aphrodisiac. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katharine Mangold.

  At the Table of Wolves: Dark Talents, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 688min

  Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy meets X-Men in a classic British espionage story. A young woman must go undercover and use her superpowers to discover a secret Nazi plot and stop an invasion of England. In 1936, there are paranormal abilities that have slowly seeped into the world, brought to the surface by the suffering of the Great War. The research to weaponize these abilities in England has lagged behind Germany, but now it's underway at an ultra-secret site called Monkton Hall. Kim Tavistock, a woman with the talent of the spill - drawing out truths that people most wish to hide - is among the test subjects at the facility. When she wins the confidence of caseworker Owen Cherwell, she is recruited to a mission to expose the head of Monkton Hall - who is believed to be a German spy. As she infiltrates the upper-crust circles of some of England's fascist sympathizers, she encounters dangerous opponents, including the charismatic Nazi officer Erich von Ritter, and discovers a plan to invade England. No one believes an invasion of the island nation is possible, not Whitehall, not even England's Secret Intelligence Service. Unfortunately, they are wrong, and only one woman, without connections or training, wielding her talent of the spill and her gift for espionage, can stop it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Undiluted Hocus-Pocus: The Autobiography of Martin Gardner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min

  Martin Gardner wrote the Mathematical Games column for Scientific American for twenty-five years and published more than seventy books on topics as diverse as magic, philosophy, religion, pseudoscience, and Alice in Wonderland. His informal, recreational approach to mathematics delighted countless readers and inspired many to pursue careers in mathematics and the sciences. Gardner's illuminating autobiography is a disarmingly candid self-portrait of the man evolutionary theorist Stephen Jay Gould called our "single brightest beacon" for the defense of rationality and good science against mysticism and anti-intellectualism. Gardner takes readers from his childhood in Oklahoma to his college days at the University of Chicago, his service in the navy, and his varied and wide-ranging professional pursuits. Before becoming a columnist for Scientific American, he was a caseworker in Chicago during the Great Depression, a reporter for the Tulsa Tribune, an editor for Humpty Dumpty, and a short-story writer for Esquire, among other jobs. Gardner shares colorful anecdotes about the many fascinating people he met and mentored, and voices strong opinions on the subjects that matter to him most, from his love of mathematics to his uncompromising stance against pseudoscience. For Gardner, our mathematically structured universe is undiluted hocus-pocus - a marvelous enigma, in other words. Undiluted Hocus-PocusM offers a rare, intimate look at Gardner's life and work, and the experiences that shaped both. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Marantz.

  The Questioner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min

  An all-new novelette by Andrew Vachss, author of the acclaimed Burke series.For all secrets created, a tiny percentage is kept against any intrusion. The ultimate extractor of such secrets is the Questioner - a man who has trained himself to become empty, who uses that emptiness to listen fully, to sense what others need to hear, to respond in ways that lead them to reveal their most protected thoughts. Disdaining torture or coercion, he mines those secrets with nothing more than conversation.For those who meet his price - governments, multinational corporations, and the most complex criminal organizations - the Questioner obtains information. The secrets he learns can create or topple empires, win or destroy fortunes, lubricate the gears of the world...or grind them to a halt.But as the Questioner moves from one target to the next, just beyond the outer edge of his probes lurks something dangerous to his own emptiness. It will force him to turn his powers inward, to ask how he became what he is, and to find a truth he has never sought.Andrew Vachss has been a federal investigator (USPHS), a social services caseworker, and directed a maximum security institution for “aggressive-violent” youths. Now a lawyer in private practice, he represents children and youth exclusively. He is the author of more than 30 novels and three collections of short stories, which have earned him such international awards as the Grand Prix de Littérature Policiére (France), the Falcon Award from the Maltese Falcon Society of Japan, the Deutschen Krimi Preis (Germany), and the Raymond Chandler Award (Italy), as well as graphic novels and a variety of special projects.Dan Boice has narrated more than 30 titles for Audible in multiple genres. When not speaking out loud into a microphone, he can be found reading two books at a time, cooking, or writing freelance for a game company.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Boice.
