Says Who? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 596min
Revenge is grief upended, only with penance served can atonement begin. From the tranquil moors of southern England; to the Caribbean's steamy shores; to the sweeping African plain, the moral compass is set to spin off its axis. For Thomas Edward Muir, evil is not illusory, it is the debasement of young lives; it is the slaying of the innocent; it is the eradication of family. "Surrender..," he is told, "...is the way of the world." The sequel to Sky Blue Sky subverts and energizes the tired conventions of the modern action thriller with an extraordinary tale born of lands distant and minds altered, and provides the only truly dignified response...

My Mortal Enemy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 126min
First published in 1926, this is Willa Cather's sparest and most dramatic novel, a dark and oddly prescient portrait of a marriage that subverts our oldest notions about the nature of domestic happiness. As a young woman, Myra Henshawe gave up a fortune to marry for love - a boldly romantic gesture that became a legend in her family. But this worldly, sarcastic, and perhaps even wicked woman may have been made for something greater than love. In her portrait of Myra and in her exquisitely nuanced depiction of her marriage, Cather shows the evolution of a human spirit as it comes to bridle against the constraints of ordinary happiness and seek an otherwordly fulfillment. My Mortal Enemy is a work whose drama and intensely moral imagination make it unforgettable. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Natasha Soudek.

The Murder Business: How the Media Turns Crime into Entertainment and Subverts Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
Media and law enforcement work at cross-purposes. Law enforcement wants to solve a case as fast as possible and puts the guilty behind bars. The media wants a case to drag on as long as humanly possible and do all they can to extricate every last bit of drama, drop by bloody drop, in order to hold the attention of the millions of viewers who have gotten hooked. Law enforcement must abide by rules. The media make their own rules, and even then break them or find ways to work loopholes into them. All that matters is ratings. If people knew how it's done - how the media seduce, buy, bribe and corrupt, like an inevitable, malignant cancer on a murder investigation - they might be too sickened to buy the nexy ticket to the carnival. The unfortunate truth is that today, each murder has many victims, and high-profile murders can hurt innocent people who get burned by the spotlight, whether or not they sought it out themselves. Fuhrman learned that firsthand as a police witness in the O. J. Simpson trial, a wrenching experience that showed how the criminal justice system can be manipulated by money, power, politics and fame. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heyborne.
