Story
En l'an 997, à la fin du haut Moyen Âge, les Anglais font face à des attaques de Vikings qui menacent d'envahir le pays. En l'absence d'un État de droit, c'est le règne du chaos. Dans cette période tumultueuse, s'entrecroisent les destins de trois personnages. Le jeune Edgar, constructeur de bateaux, voit sa vie basculer quand sa maison est détruite au cours d'un raid viking. Ragna, jeune noble normande insoumise, épouse par amour l'Anglais Wilwulf, mais les coutumes de son pays d'adoption sont scandaleusement différentes des siennes.

France, 1944. Betty a vingt-neuf ans, elle est officier de l'armée anglaise, l'une des meilleures expertes en matière de sabotage. À l'approche du débarquement allié, elle a pour mission d'anéantir le système de communication allemand en France. Après une première tentative catastrophique et coûteuse en vies humaines, Betty va jouer le tout pour le tout en recrutant une brigade unique en son genre : le Réseau Corneille. Une équipe de choc, six femmes à la personnalité hors du commun. L'aristocrate, la taularde, l'ingénue, la travestie... chacune va apporter sa touche très personnelle au grand sabotage.

Story
A Saint-Pétersbourg, en 1865, Raskolnikov, un jeune noble sombre et altier, renfermé mais aussi généreux, a interrompu ses études faute d'argent. Endetté auprès de sa logeuse qui lui loue une étroite mansarde, il se sent écrasé par sa pauvreté. Mais il se croit aussi appelé à un grand avenir et, dédaigneux de la loi morale, se pense fondé à commettre un crime : ce qu'il va faire bientôt - de manière crapuleuse.

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.

Story
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.
