Panic Room
Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Panic Room by Robert Goddard, read by Hollie Taylor and John Sackville. Sometimes the danger is on the inside.... High on a Cornish cliff sits a vast uninhabited mansion. Uninhabited except for Blake, a young woman of dubious background, secretive and alone, currently acting as housesitter. The house has a panic room. Cunningly concealed, steel lined, impregnable - and apparently closed from within. Even Blake doesn’t know it’s there. She’s too busy being on the run from life, from a story she thinks she’s escaped. But her remote existence is going to be invaded when people come looking for the house’s owner, missing rogue pharma entrepreneur Jack Harkness. Suddenly the whole world wants to know where his money has gone. Soon people are going to come knocking on the door, people with motives and secrets of their own, who will be asking Blake the sort of questions she can’t - or won’t - want to answer. And will the panic room ever give up its secrets? Panic Room is Robert Goddard at his nerve-shredding best. A sliver of a mystery kicks off a juggernaut of a thriller. Layers of secrets, half truths and lies must be peeled back to reveal what really lies within.

Ways of the World
Summary
Four years of horrific fighting have finally ended on the battlefield, but in the spring of 1919, Paris is filled with delegates from around the world who are still trying to hammer out the terms of peace. One such delegate is British diplomat Sir Henry Maxted, in charge of liaising with Brazilians regarding seized ships. But before a deal is reached, Sir Henry turns up dead outside a Montparnasse apartment building, apparently having fell from the roof. His sons Max and Ashley are sent to Paris to collect the body, and it quickly becomes clear that the theory the French police have put forward is flawed. But since the murder of a diplomat could be disastrous for the peace conference, no one is keen to ask questions - except Max. What begins as an innocent inquiry into his father's death soon leads Max into a dangerous world of secret allegiances, international espionage, and people double-crossing each other at the highest levels of government. How far is he willing to go to discover the truth about the death of a father he barely knew? And how much will the authorities - and others - let him find out before threatening Max's own life?

Summary
For mange år siden stod kirurgen Edward Hammond og manglede penge til en dyr skilsmisse. Heldigvis fik han mulighed for at tjene en god slat ved - i al diskretion - at udføre en livsvigtig operation på den serbiske gangster Dragan Gazi. Men Dragan Gazi er en skidt fyr, og nu - tretten år efter - skal han stilles til ansvar for modbydelige krigsforbrydelser på Balkan ved Den Internationale Domstol i Haag. Og for at skaffe penge til at slippe ud af klemmen giver Gazi den stakkels Edward et ultimatum: Enten skaffer Edward ham de penge, Gazi har stukket til side under Balkankrigene, eller også ødelægger han Edwards karriere ved at afsløre hans rolle i Gazis liv. Edward ser ingen anden udvej end at føje Gazi, og nu går den vilde jagt gennem Europa. Tilbage i Beograd tvinges Edward til at stå ansigt til ansigt med konsekvenserne af det valg, han traf, da han reddede Gazis liv. Endnu en stilsikker og effektiv krimi fra Robert Goddard!
