The Mole: The Cold War Memoir of Winston Bates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 913min
The fictitious memoir of an unlikely foreign spy planted in Washington, D.C., in the years after World War II Recruited by a foreign power in postwar Paris and sent to Washington, Winston Bates is without training or talent. He might be a walking definition of the anti-spy. Yet he makes his way onto the staff of the powerful Senator Richard Russell, head of the Armed Services Committee. From that perch, Bates has extensive and revealing contacts with the Dulles brothers, Richard Bissell, Richard Helms, Lyndon Johnson, Joe Alsop, Walter Lippman, Roy Cohn, and even Ollie North - to name but a few of the historical players in the American experience Winston befriends - and haplessly betrays for a quarter century. A comedy of manners set within the circles of power and information, Peter Warner's The Mole is a witty social history of Washington in the latter half of the 20th century that presents the question: How much damage can be done by the wrong person in the right place at the right time? Written as Winston’s memoir, The Mole details the American Century from an angle definitely off center. From Suez, the U-2 Crash, the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, and Watergate, the novel is richly and factually detailed, marvelously convincing, and offers the listener a slightly subversive character searching for identity and meaning (as well as his elusive handler) in a heady time during one of history's most defining eras. ungekürzt.

She might like to see him cuffed to her bed or naked. And she’s always been curious about what a boy might look like in a chastity cage.

Spark: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 684min
Edgy, hard-core, and wildly imaginative, this new thriller from New York Times best-selling author John Twelve Hawks (The Traveler, The Dark River, The Golden City) features an assassin-narrator unlike anyone we've seen before, set in a present-day dystopia. Jacob Underwood is a contract employee of the Special Services Section, a shadow department in the faceless multinational corporation DBG. Jacob is not a businessman...he is a hired assassin...and his job is to neutralize problems deemed unacceptable by the corporation. Jacob is not like other employees, nor is he like other people. Suffering from Cotard's syndrome - a real condition that causes people to believe they are dead - Jacob perceives himself as nothing but a Shell with no emotion and no sense of right or wrong. Emily Buchanan is a bright young second-year associate for DBG, and she has disappeared without a trace. Suspecting she may have stolen valuable information and a fortune from the company, Miss Holquist - Jacob's handler at DBG - assigns him the task of tracking her down and neutralizing her. Jacob's condition allows him to carry out assignments with ruthless, logical precision - devoid of guilt, fear, or dishonor. But as his new assignment draws him inside a labyrinthine network of dark dealings, Jacob finds himself up against something he is completely incapable of understanding. Spark is an ingenious and chilling vision of modern-day humanity under constant, invasive surveillance and a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick.

Once Bitten: A Melanie Travis Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 422min
With her former fiancé off finding himself, Melanie Travis figures the only ring she'll be seeing in the near future is one where she's showing her prized poodles. But love is still in the air for her brother Frank, who is about to tie the knot with his sweetheart, Bertie Kennedy. With scant knowledge of tulle, favors, or cocktail hors d'oeuvres, Melanie happily leaves the nuptial arrangements to Sara Bentley, a fellow dog handler moonlighting as a wedding coordinator. But when Sara suddenly vanishes, a panicked Bertie gives Melanie a choice: either pinch-hit for Sara - or find out where she is. Opting for the latter, Melanie begins sniffing around into Sara's past - and unearths big trouble when Sara's cottage burns to the ground and a woman's body is found in the rubble. There are plenty of people with grudges against Sara - from Maris Kincaid, a disgruntled dog groomer; to Debra Silver, a competitor whose dog had been poisoned a decade ago; to Josh Bennett, her embittered ex-boyfriend. Even Sara's own family seems oddly unconcerned about her disappearance... but are the blue-blooded Bentleys cold-blooded enough to kill one of their own? Melanie soon realizes that despite the best-laid plans, anything can happen. And when it comes to Sara Bentley, nothing is certain - except that it's up to Melanie to stop a murderer in his - or her - tracks... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Almasy.

Go Ask Ali: Half-Baked Advice (and Free Lemonade) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 233min
New York Times best-selling author Ali Wentworth offers her hilarious and unique advice on surviving the absurdity of modern life in her third collection of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes. Ali Wentworth's first two books, Ali in Wonderland and Happily Ali After, were lauded by listeners, critics, and fellow comedians alike. Entertainment Weekly included Happily Ali After on its "Must List" and hailed it as "hilarious.... Her glass isn't half full - it's empty and cracked", while Cosmopolitan praised it as "razor-sharp." Chelsea Handler called Ali in Wonderland "truly hilarious", and Kathy Griffin christened it "Chicken Soup for the Vagina." Alec Baldwin has described Ali as "funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth", and Jerry Seinfeld has raved, "Everything that comes out of Ali Wentworth's mouth is funny!" At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and far-fetched, this third collection offers Ali at her wisest and wittiest as she delivers tips, pointers, and quips on a host of life's conundrums and sticky situations, including the funny, sometimes embarrassing yet unforgettable situations that have shaped her inimitable world view as a wife, mother, actress, comedian, and all around bon vivant. Thoroughly entertaining, Go Ask Ali is packed with thoughts and musings from "the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything" (Huffington Post). ungekürzt.

The Jungle Book , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 326min
The Jungle Book is a collection of amazing stories written by the famous Rudyard Kipling. The timeless stories enjoyed by both children and adults alike were first published in magazines in 1893-94 and reveal much of Kipling’s India, the country of his birth and where he spent the first six years of his life. The tales in the book are fables where the main characters are animals that teach timeless moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned 'man cub' Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi”, the story of a heroic mongoose, and “Tommai of the Elephants”, the tale of a young elephant-handler. Kotick, The White Seal seeking for his people a haven where they would be safe from hunters, has been considered a metaphor for Zionism, then in its beginning. As with much of Kipling's work, each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Minx.

Fatal Option , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
David Cady was nominated Author of the Year by Georgia Writers Association for his thriller The Handler. Now enjoy Fatal Option, the sequel to that pause-resister, which picks up right where the first book ends and moves forward with the same fast-paced action. The sequel begins when Matt Fagan, who endangered his life while preventing the suicidal death of 300 cult members, believes that he has just killed his brother, Emmanuel, the insane cult leader. However, Emmanuel is saved from a fiery death by his disciples. Once Emmanuel is nursed back to health, the vindictive leader begins his execution of revenge against Matt and everyone Matt loves. When the child of former cult member Sarah Brindle is abducted by a woman she recognizes from Emmanuel's cult, Sarah and her mother, Medora, call on Matt once again to find and rescue him. After Matt's adult son is shot while on patrol and his teenage son is kidnapped, Matt and his partner, Leaky Waters, must use all their skills to track down the predators through the backwaters along the Tennessee River. Through fast-moving flashbacks the story reveals Matt and Emmanuel's childhood in a snake-handling church, and how one critical decision by their father created horrifying life-changing events; events that lead to Matt being orphaned at the age of four, and Emmanuel being abused by a cruel stepfather; cruelty that spearheaded Emmanuel's own sadistic behavior. ungekürzt.
