Heidelberg 1388: Die junge Madlen steht schon früh im Dienst einer Hebamme und hilft ihr bei Geburten und der Behandlung von Frauenleiden. Neben ihrem umfassenden Wissen über Kräuter, durch die sie Schmerzen lindert, stößt sie während einer Geburt eher zufällig auf die beruhigende Wirkung durch flackerndes Kerzenlicht in Verbindung mit gesprochenen Psalmen. Natürlich darf niemand etwas von dieser besonderen Methode erfahren, schließlich kann es sich hierbei nur um Hexenwerk handeln.

Spätsommer 2018. Über Nacht ist Mona Lang reich. Ihre Großtante Klara hat ihr ein großes Haus in München-Schwabing vermacht, denn sie war sich sicher: "Mona wird das Richtige tun."

München, 1938. Die vierzehnjährige Klara belauscht an der Salontür ein Gespräch zwischen ihrem Vater, dem Staatsanwalt Ernst-Friedrich Hacker, und ihrem Vermieter, dem jüdischen Unternehmer Jakob Roth.

Publisher's summary
Eine Familie zwischen geheimnisvoller Vergangenheit und düsteren Zukunftsaussichten. Der neue historische Roman von #1-Kindle-Bestsellerautorin Ellin Carsta.
Bernried am Starnberger See, 1937: Als Paul-Friedrich von Falkenbach hört, dass ein Kriegskamerad bei einem Unfall in seiner Schreinerei ums Leben gekommen ist, erweckt das sofort sein Misstrauen. Wird er erneut von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt? Paul-Friedrich will seinen Geschäftspartner Wilhelm Lehmann treffen, um die Sache aufzuklären. Doch der hat gerade ganz andere Probleme: Sein Sohn Leopold hat ihn zum wiederholten Male enttäuscht und er will ihn aus der Familie und der Firma verbannen. Vor lauter Aufregung erleidet er einen Schwächeanfall.
Währenddessen spitzt sich die Lage für die jüdische Bevölkerung in Deutschland weiter zu. Als ihrem Vater plötzlich das Grundstück der Nachbarfamilie am See angeboten wird, ist dies ein weiterer Weckruf für das politische Interesse von Wilhelmine von Falkenbach, ebenso wie ein politisch Verfolgter, der Unterschlupf auf dem Gut der von Falkenbachs sucht. Paul-Friedrichs Tochter spürt, dass sie die opportunistische Haltung einiger Familienmitglieder nicht länger teilen kann...

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'
