    Night Fever , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
    Coworkers, acquaintances and former lovers know Rourke Kilpatrick as a dashing district attorney who doesn’t let emotions get in his way. If he breaks a heart or bends the law to prosecute a criminal, he does so without apology. That’s why he is the first person 24-year-old Rebecca Cullen calls for advice when the younger brother she’s been forced to raise by herself gets arrested on trumped-up drug charges. To her surprise, Rourke returns her call, and displays a sympathy that seems totally at odds with his reputation. One night, their lips finally meet, and all Rebecca wants is to feel Rourke’s arms around her - forever. But is she the one woman to break through Rourke’s protective barriers, or is the man she’s falling in love with just using her to investigate a crime? Does Rebecca dare trust someone who has the power to destroy her family…and break her heart? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emily Beresford.

    The Two-Witness Rule: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min
    Assistant District Attorney Scott Marino has been assigned a tough case: the prosecution of Max Gordon, one of the nation's most prominent and successful defense attorneys, who was accused of paying witnesses to commit perjury in a Savannah criminal trial. Some crimes are just different. Murder is the most serious crime committed on an individual, but perjury is the most dangerous to the criminal justice system. While one witness is legally sufficient to prove murder, for perjury, the two-witness rule applies. But the young prosecutor is challenged by more than this unique rule. He must prosecute a cunning lawyer who is defended by another just as crafty. He wants this dishonest attorney disbarred and put away for 10 years. With the stakes so high, Marino faces threats to both his integrity and his life as he prepares for the biggest trial of his young career. This is the third novel by William Eleazer. All of his novels - Savannah Law, The Indictments, and now, The Two-Witness Rule - share the same locale: beautiful and quaint Savannah, Georgia. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Johnson.

    My Brother's Keeper: A Thirty-Year Quest to Bring Two Killers to Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 527min
    A tremendous story of love and murder, faith and tenacity. (Steve Jackson, New York Times best-selling author of A Clockwork Murder) The moment he found out his brother was missing and presumed dead, Ted Kergan launched a relentless effort to bring two suspected killers - a teenage prostitute and her much older grifter boyfriend - to justice and find Gary Kergan's body. Little did he know his quest would consume a fortune and take 30 years to reach its dramatic conclusion. Thwarted at first by the fact that his brother's body could not be located and a new district attorney reluctant to prosecute as a result, Kergen had to keep track of the killers, from New Orleans' notorious French Quarter to Las Vegas and points in between, and wait for a break in the case that seemed like it would never come. Then nearly 30 years later, science, detective work, and especially a brother's love and tenacity would combine for a resolution that would end in a dramatic trial in which one of the killers' diary would be a star witness. ungekürzt.

    The Demon Next Door , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 165min
    Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer who had raped and mutilated six women, murdering three of them. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early rapes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued? Burrough is widely admired as a master storyteller, and this chilling tale raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare. This title contains mature themes, including physical and sexual violence, that some listeners may find unsettling. ungekürzt.

    Torture and Impunity: The U.S. Doctrine of Coercive Interrogation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 924min
    Many Americans have condemned the "enhanced interrogation" techniques used in the War on Terror as a transgression of human rights. But the United States has done almost nothing to prosecute past abuses or prevent future violations. Tracing this knotty contradiction from the 1950s to the present, historian Alfred W. McCoy probes the political and cultural dynamics that have made impunity for torture a bipartisan policy of the U.S. government. During the Cold War, McCoy argues, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency covertly funded psychological experiments designed to weaken a subject's resistance to interrogation. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the CIA revived these harsh methods, while U.S. media was flooded with seductive images that normalized torture for many Americans. Ten years later, the U.S. had failed to punish the perpetrators or the powerful who commanded them, and continued to exploit intelligence extracted under torture by surrogates from Somalia to Afghanistan. Although Washington has publicly distanced itself from torture, disturbing images from the prisons at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are seared into human memory, doing lasting damage to America's moral authority as a world leader. The book is published by University of Wisconsin Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Halliburton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/021883/bk_acx0_021883_sample.mp3.
