Chief Raymer, der Leiter der Polizeidirektion, kollabiert auf einer Beerdigung, fällt ins offene Grab und verliert dabei das einzige Beweisstück dafür, dass seine Frau ihn betrogen hat. Die Wand eines Gebäudes, das der impotente Bauunternehmer Carl errichtet hat, stürzt ein. Sein ehemaliger Kontrahent Sully hat alle Hände voll damit zu tun, eine schwere Krankheit vor den Menschen, die er liebt, zu verheimlichen.

Und um dem Mann auf die Schliche zu kommen, der ihn gehörnt hat. Aber auch die anderen Bewohner der Stadt müssen an diesem Wochenende Farbe bekennen und von ihren gewohnten Mustern abweichen ...

    Lay the Favorite: A Memoir of Gambling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
    An eye-popping and hilarious joyride through the underworld of sports betting. Beth Raymer arrived in Las Vegas in 2001, hoping to land a job as a cocktail waitress at one of the big casinos. In the meantime, she lived in a $17-a-night motel with her dog, Otis, and waited tables at a low-rent Thai restaurant. One day, one of her regular customers told her about a job she thought Beth would be perfect for and sent her to see Dink, of Dink Inc. Dink was a professional sports gambler—one of the biggest in Vegas. He was looking for a right-hand man—someone who would show up on time, who had a head for numbers, and who didn’t steal. She got the job. Lay the Favorite is the story of Beth Raymer’s years in the high-stakes, high-anxiety world of sports betting—a period that saw the fall of the local bookie and the rise of the freewheeling, unregulated offshore sports book, and with it the elevation of sports betting in popular culture. As the business explodes, Beth rises—from assistant to expert, trusted and seasoned enough to open an offshore booking office in the Caribbean with a few associates, men who leave their families up north to make a quick killing, while donning new tropical personas fueled by abundant drugs and local girlfriends, and who one by one succumb to their vices. They lie, cheat, steal, and run, until Beth is the last man standing. Beth Raymer is a natural storyteller: funny, charming, and fully awake to the ironies around her. But she is also a keen and compassionate observer of the adrenaline-addicted, rougish types who become her mentors, her enemies, her family. Raymer brings to life a world that teems with pathos and ecstasy in this wild picaresque that also tells the story of a young woman’s crazy, sexy, most unlikely coming-of-age. ungekürzt.

    Everybody's Fool , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1133min
    An immediate national best seller and instant classic from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls.  Everybody’s Fool picks up roughly a decade since we were last with Miss Beryl and Sully on New Year's Eve 1984.  The irresistible Sully, who in the intervening years has come by some unexpected good fortune, is staring down a VA cardiologist’s estimate that he has only a year or two left, and it’s hard work trying to keep this news from the most important people in his life: Ruth, the married woman he carried on with for years; the ultra-hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren’t still best friends; and Sully’s son and grandson, for whom he was mostly an absentee figure (and now a regretful one). We also enjoy the company of Doug Raymer, the chief of police who’s obsessing primarily over the identity of the man his wife might’ve been about to run off with before dying in a freak accident. Bath’s mayor, the former academic Gus Moynihan, whose wife problems are, if anything, even more pressing. Then there’s Carl Roebuck, whose lifelong run of failing upward might now come to ruin. And finally there’s Charice Bond - a light at the end of the tunnel that is Chief Raymer’s office - as well as her brother, Jerome, who might well be the train barreling into the station.  Filled with humour, heart and hard-luck characters you can't help but love, Everybody's Fool is a crowning achievement from one of the great storytellers of our time. ungekürzt.
