Löcher: Die Geheimnisse von Green Lake Audiobook

'Vorgetragen von Konstantin Graudus, entwickelt diese ebenso düstere wie lustige, spannende und kunstvoll komponierte Story auch für Erwachsene einen Sog, wie es vorher allenfalls die Harry-Potter-Bände geschafft haben.'

Kein Wunder also, dass er sich eines Tages in der Besserungsanstalt Camp Green Lake wiederfindet, weil er angeblich die Turnschuhe eines Baseball-Helden geklaut hat. Und hier, mitten in der Wüste, soll Stanley nun täglich tiefe Löcher in den harten texanischen Wüstenboden buddeln, um seinen Charakter zu festigen. Doch bald schon wird ihm klar, dass es im Camp eigentlich um ganz andere Dinge geht ...
