About this listen
Audible y Planeta Audio, con la colaboración de Lorenzo Silva presentan la versión dramatizada de la segunda novela de la serie de Bevilacqua y Chamorro, El alquimista impaciente.
Esta novela inicia su acción con un cadáver desnudo que aparece atado a una cama en un motel. Por la situación en que se halla, sin marcas de violencia, puede ser un crimen, o no.
El sargento Bevilacqua, atípico investigador criminal de la Guardia Civil, y su ayudante, la guardia Chamorro, han de resolver el enigma. La investigación que sigue no es una mera pesquisa policial. El sargento y su ayudante habrán de llegar al lado oculto de la víctima y de las personas que la rodeaban, y deberán desentrañar un complejo entramado de dinero e intereses. Pero la clave, como en la alquimia, está en la paciencia.

Tras una decepcionante experiencia con el sistema judicial, que ha puesto en libertad a un asesino al que había detenido después de una larga investigación, el brigada Bevilacqua, alias Vila, se halla desencantado y más escéptico de lo que acostumbra. Así se enfrenta al nuevo caso que le ocupa: un hombre llamado Óscar Santacruz ha aparecido con dos tiros en la nuca en el ascensor de su casa.

Story
Con este mensaje inesperado, el pasado vuelve para sacudir la vida de un antiguo agente secreto cuando ya no tiene el escudo de su organización. Participó en la guerra sucia del Estado, convencido de su causa: la defensa de una sociedad democrática y de las víctimas inocentes contra la violencia terrorista. Pero el tiempo ha pasado, no todo salió bien y la justificación es muy lejana, mientras que él ya no puede abandonar el lado oscuro. La críptica comunicación que acaba de recibir lo reclama de nuevo.

Story
Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

El hombre se llamaba Martín Garret Ortiz y era un joven ingeniero de minas español. Todo empezó para él ese mismo día, cuando desde su hotel oyó un primer disparo lejano. Salió a la calle para ver qué ocurría y a partir de ese momento su vida cambió para siempre.

Cuando Penny Dahl contacta con Finders Keepers para que la ayuden a encontrar a su hija, algo en la voz desesperada de la mujer hace que Holly Gibney se vea obligada a aceptar el trabajo. A poca distancia del lugar en el que Bonnie Dahl desapareció, viven los profesores Rodney y Emily Harris. Son la quintaesencia de la respetabilidad burguesa: un matrimonio octogenario y dedicado de académicos semiretirados.

En los años 1942 y 1943, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, buzos de combate italianos hundieron o dañaron catorce barcos aliados en Gibraltar y la bahía de Algeciras. En esta novela, inspirada en hechos reales, sólo algunos personajes y situaciones son imaginarios. Elena Arbués, una librera de veintisiete años, encuentra una madrugada mientras pasea por la playa a uno de esos buzos, desvanecido entre la arena y el agua. Al socorrerlo, la joven ignora que esa determinación cambiará su vida y que el amor será sólo parte de una peligrosa aventura.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.
