    Firebird: The Spy Thriller of the 1960s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1006min
    Noel Hynd knows the ins and outs of Washington's agencies both public and secret. (Publishers Weekly) From Noel Hynd, author of Flowers from Berlin comes Firebird, an intricate true-to-life spy story that spans half a century. It is 1968, one of the most tumultuous years of the 20th century. Frank Cooper, a former star investigative reporter now writes obituaries for a popular New York City tabloid. He hears the confession of a dying man named Leonard Rudawski, a former American diplomat, who bitterly questions the fate of Pavel Lukashenko, a would-be Soviet defector in Paris in 1965. Lukashenko promised to expose the espionage secret of a generation if he could get to the West. But the defector, code named “Firebird”, vanished. Or did he? Cooper teams with Lauren Richie, a young, Latina reporter from the same tabloid. They prowl into the dying man’s confession. Soon they are onto the story of their lifetimes, reviving a dangerous once-cold trail of back channel/back-alley CIA and KGB intrigue and tradeoffs, all of which factor into the three-way racially tinged American election of that year: Nixon vs. Humphry vs. the segregationist George Wallace. Murder, espionage, romance, betrayal, and conspiracy intertwine. Listeners will meet and recognize dozens of memorable “real life" characters: reporters, gangsters, diplomats, call girls, spy masters, politicians, and assassins. The story is tough, large, sprawling, and historically precise. "Russians sabotage and destabilize the west", says one experienced reporter with KGB knowledge. "It's not just what they do. It's what they do best." The story straddles the decades from World War II to 2018, even throwing a cynical light on Russian-American relations of today. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Captain Grey's Gambit
    December 1803: A French invasion fleet is poised to cross the Channel and storm the beaches of southern England. A member of Napoleon's inner circle-disaffected by Napoleon's creeping tyranny-contacts the British naval intelligence service in hopes of defecting to London. His escape plan calls for a rendezvous at an international chess tournament in Frankfurt-a rare opportunity for him to travel outside France. Naval intelligence sends its top man-and best chess player-Captain Thomas Grey, to orchestrate the Frenchman's escape to England. But Grey's mission changes dramatically when the defector demands that his pro-Napoleon daughter come with him-expecting Grey to act not just as escort but kidnapper. The second novel in J. H. Gelernter's already lauded Captain Grey series, Captain Grey's Gambit continues a story that is "smart, fast, twisty, and dangerous" (Lee Child) in a "richly imagined early nineteenth-century world" (Richard Snow).
