Die Seelen von London, Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 701min
Die blinde Maria ist ein "mudlark", sie sucht im Schlamm des Londoner Themseufers nach verborgenen Schätzen. Eines Tages findet sie einen abgehackten menschlichen Finger mit einem gelben Diamantring, dazu eine Botschaft in Braille: "Willst du mich heiraten, Maria?" Detective Inspector Jonathan Dark ist höchst beunruhigt, sucht er doch unter Hochdruck nach einem Stalker, der sein letztes Opfer, Tanya, mit ebensolchen Botschaften beglückte, bevor er die junge Frau tötete. Die Suche nach dem Psychopathen scheint aussichtslos - da wächst der Polizei Hilfe aus unerwarteter Quelle zu: Das Bestattungsinstitut in Jonathan Darks Nachbarschaft ist der Ort, wo kürzlich Verstorbene sich einzufinden pflegen. Bestatter Frank hilft ihnen, sich in der Welt der Geister zurechtzufinden und womöglich auf die Lebenden einzuwirken. Und auf einmal taucht die ermordete Tanya auf - voll schwarzer Rachegedanken...

The Cotswolds Werewolf and Other Stories of Sherlock Holmes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min
Someone is killing sheep in the Cotswolds. Or something. As Holmes and Watson arrive in the tranquility of a little village of shepherds and farmers to enjoy a few restful days in the idyllic countryside, strange things start to occur. While Holmes locks himself in his hotel room, consumed by depression, Watson is left to explore the surroundings on his own, acquainting himself with both the local shepherding community, the eccentric vicar, and the local folklore concerning a mysterious werewolf. It isn't long before the murderer directs his attention to other prey than sheep, and Holmes is forced out of his ennui into a world of fog-enshrouded moors, wild men, pitchforks, and a big bad wolf. This volume also includes four shorter stories in the vein of Conan Doyle: "The Adventure of the Velvet Lampshade", "The Adventure of the Missing Mudlark", "The Adventure of the Forking Paths", and "The Adventure of the One-Armed Pugilist". ungekürzt.

Eel has troubles of his own: As an orphan and a "mudlark", he spends his days in the filthy River Thames, searching for bits of things to sell. He's being hunted by Fisheye Bill Tyler, and a nastier man never walked the streets of London. And he's got a secret that costs him four precious shillings a week to keep safe.

Mr. Griggs, the tailor, is the first to get sick, and soon it's clear that the deadly cholera - the "blue death" - has come to Broad Street.

As the epidemic surges, it's up to Eel and his best friend, Florrie, to gather evidence to prove Snow's theory before the entire neighborhood is wiped out.

Mudlark'd
The first illustrated book on mudlarking that tells the captivating stories of forgotten people through objects recovered from the river Thames.Combining insights from 200 eclectic objects discovered on the Thames foreshore, meticulous historical research and contextual illustrations, Mudlark'd uncovers the hidden histories of forgotten people from all over the world. Beginning in each case with a particular find, Malcolm Russell tells the stories of the people who owned, made or used such objects, revealing the habits, customs and crafts not only of those living in London but also of those passing through, from continental Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. In the 18th and 19th centuries London was the busiest port in the world, exchanging goods, ideas, people and power with every continent. The Thames long acted as London's water source, shipyard, thoroughfare and rubbish dump. Its banks have been densely packed with taverns, brothels, markets and workplaces, and scavengers - known as mudlarks - have scoured them since at least the 18th century. Consequently, the Thames today offers a repository of intriguing objects that evoke ways of life long forgotten. A delicate bone hair pin uncovers the story of Roman ornatrices - enslaved hairdressers. A counterfeit coin reveals the heritage of millions of Australians. Glass beads expose the brutal dynamics of the transatlantic slave trade. Clay tobacco pipes uncover the lives of Edwardian women parachutists and Victorian magicians. A scrap of Tudor cloth illuminates the stories of Dutch and French religious refugees.The book also includes a primer, giving step-by-step advice on how to mudlark on tidal rivers and how to identify commonly made finds.- Shop: buecher
