Today, tourists flock equally intrigued and repulsed by the story that began in Whitechapel in 1888 and has been the stuff of nightmares ever since. Step back in time to the 1880’s where the scene was a maze of dark, foggy alleyways and narrow cobbled streets lit only by a few flickering gas lights. Several days a week, Commercial Street housed the market traders selling wares from wooden carts, but in 1888 there was an atmosphere of panic among the inhabitants of Whitechapel.

For the first time, once-secret government records and interviews tell the full story of the thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—who came to the United States after World War II and quietly settled into new lives. Many gained entry on their own as self-styled war “refugees.” But some had help from the U.S. government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler’s minions to work as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers, whitewashing their histories. Only years after their arrival did private sleuths and government prosecutors begin trying to identify the hidden Nazis.

Kinahan Assassins is the extraordinary story of how the killers used by Ireland’s most notorious drug gang, the Kinahan Cartel, were taken down. After an audacious assassination attempt on boss Daniel Kinahan's life, the Kinahan Cartel recruited an unprecedented number of killers to retaliate against their attackers, the Hutch gang. Kinahan Assassins is the compelling behind-the-scenes account of one man's thirst for vengeance and how it proved fatal for his organization. Kinahan Assassins has the stories of the men who killed for the cartel - including vulnerable drug addicts, a former British soldier, an MMA fighter and an invisible 'Mr Nobody' who acted as a cartel quartermaster - as well as those who gave them orders. And it details how, one by one, the hit teams were identified, surveilled and captured by the Irish police. Featuring new and exclusive material – conversations from wiretaps, insights from gardaí at the heart of the operations and interviews with the loved ones of innocents caught in the crossfire – Kinahan Assassins is a startling and gripping read that throws a new light on the war on organized crime. © John Hand and Stephen Breen 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/792533Thu, 24 Oct 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/792533 to listen full audiobooks.

For over half a century, Banco Popular was one of the most profitable banks in the world — until one day in 2017, when the Spanish bank suddenly collapsed overnight. When investigative journalist Gareth Gore was dispatched to report on the story, he expected to find yet another case of unbridled capitalist ambition gone wrong. Instead, he uncovered decades of deception that hid one of the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetrated by a group of men sworn to celibacy and self-flagellation who had secretly controlled Popular and abused their positions there to help spread Opus Dei to every corner of the world. Drawing on unparalleled access to bank records, insider accounts, and exclusive interviews with whistleblowers from within Opus Dei, Gore reveals how money from the bank was used to lure unsuspecting recruits — some of them only children — into a life of servitude. He also tracks the ascent of Opus Dei around the globe, exposing its role in bankrolling many right-wing causes, including the US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. In an era of disinformation and deep fakes, here is a real-life conspiracy which hid in plain sight for more than sixty years.

But these are more than just gripping true stories—they are a clarion call for reforming the tragic flaws in our criminal justice system.”—David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you. * This audiobook edition is accompanied by a downloadable PDF which includes A Note on Sources and Acknowledgments from the book.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/765027Tue, 15 Oct 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/765027 to listen full audiobooks.

Yet it is still an underground culture, associated with mystery, romance, and bohemian lifestyles, in keeping with its popularity among the writers, artists, and other ne'er-do-wells. First produced in eighteenth century, the spirit, known as 'the Green Fairy,' was banned worldwide by 1914 before the bans were gradually overturned beginning in 2005, the year Switzerland relegalized absinthe. Enter a bon vivant who inveigles his way into the private Facebook groups where the modern absinthe demimonde converges and charms some of the best minds (and palates) in the beverage world into thinking that he was selling them precious vintage pre-ban bottles. How did he get away with it? The Absinthe Forger pieces together the forger's subterfuge and motivation. It shows how absinthe can transform a person—and even connect drinkers with a deeper, often hidden sense of self. Rail digs deep into the modern absinthe underground, whose members are still frantic to find the last remaining bottles of pre-ban absinthe, and he visits modern producers of the spirit, who have, in a generation, changed in status from daring criminal bootleggers to sought-after celebrities. The Absinthe Forger is a bizarre crime drama that will make you never look at wormwood in the same way again.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/805212Tue, 15 Oct 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/805212 to listen full audiobooks.

When oil was discovered in Oklahoma, these counterfeit tycoons impersonated, defrauded, and murdered Native property owners to snatch up hundreds of acres of oil-rich land. Writer and fourth-generation Oklahoman Russell Cobb sets the stage for one such oilman’s chicanery: Tulsa entrepreneur Charles Page’s campaign for a young Muscogee boy’s land in Creek County. Problem was, “Tommy Atkins,” the boy in question, had died years prior—if he ever lived at all. Ghosts of Crook County traces Tommy’s mythologized life through Page’s relentless pursuit of his land. We meet Minnie Atkins and the two other women who claimed to be Tommy’s “real” mother. Minnie would testify a story of her son’s life and death that fulfilled the legal requirements for his land to be transferred to Page. And we meet Tommy himself—or the men who proclaimed themselves to be him, alive and well in court. Through evocative storytelling, Cobb chronicles with unflinching precision the lasting effects of land-grabbing white men on Indigenous peoples.

If he succeeds in helping Trump get reelected, I am convinced that the global political order will be utterly changed. We shall have entered a new historical era of strategic chaos, a ‘new world disorder.’ The consequences of Trump winning the 2024 election are catastrophic.” –from Unredacted To a unique degree, Christopher Steele has been an eyewitness observer of modern Russian history. He was a British diplomat and intelligence professional in Moscow when the Soviet Union was collapsing. Steele was there when the putsch against Mikhail Gorbachev took place and when Boris Yeltsin took over the newly independent Russia. After Vladimir Putin came to power, Steele rose to become one of British government’s leading Russia experts and played a central role in the investigation into the Kremlin-ordered murder of Alexander Litvinenko. Then, in 2016, he wrote a series of explosive reports about the then presidential candidate Donald Trump and his links to Russia. Now known to the world as the “Steele Dossier,” these intelligence documents drew the world’s attention to Russia’s relationship with Trump—and reluctantly thrust Steele into the center of a global maelstrom. Since Trump’s election, he has quietly continued his work. Indeed, Steele has had even better access to sources of information and intelligence on Russia—ones that have given him a privileged view of what’s going on inside the Kremlin, and how much we in the West should worry about it.  In Unredacted, Steele shares for the first time what that inside view looks like, how he came to the point of gaining such a level of insight, and what Western governments—and all of us—can and should do to counter this generational threat.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/802181Tue, 08 Oct 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/802181 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Den of Spies: The Untold Story of Reagan, Carter and the Treason that Stole the White House Author: Craig Unger Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 7 minutes Release date: October 1, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Argo meets Spotlight, as New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in elections goes unpunished Argo meets Spotlight, as New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in our elections goes unpunished and what gets remembered when the political price for treason is victory. In April 1991, the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election. The Iranian hostage crisis was President Jimmy Carter’s largest political vulnerability, and his lack of success freeing them ultimately sealed his fate at the ballot box. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed the oath of office, the Republicans had secretly funneled arms to Iran. Treasonous and illegal, the operation—planned and executed by Reagan’s campaign manager Bill Casey—amounted to a shadow foreign policy run by private citizens that ensured Reagan’s victory. Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the October Surprise—initially for Esquire and then Newsweek—and while attempting to unravel the mystery, he was fired, sued, and ostracized by the Washington press corps, as a counter narrative took hold: The October Surprise was a hoax. Now Unger finally reveals the definitive story and sharing startling truths about what really happened in 1980. The result is a real-life political thriller filled with double agents, CIA operatives, slippery politicians, KGB documents, wealthy Republicans, and dogged journalists. Timely and provocative, with powerful echoes of Trump-era political scandals, Den of Spies demonstrates the stakes of allowing the politics of the moment to obscure the writing of our history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/788131Tue, 01 Oct 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/788131 to listen full audiobooks.

For over half a century, Banco Popular was one of the most profitable banks in the world—until one day, in 2017, when the Spanish bank suddenly collapsed overnight. When investigative journalist Gareth Gore was dispatched to report on the story, he expected to find yet another case of unbridled capitalist ambition gone wrong. Instead, he uncovered decades of deception that hid one of the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetrated by a group of men sworn to celibacy and self-flagellation who had secretly controlled Popular and abused their positions there to help spread Opus Dei to every corner of the world. Drawing on unparalleled access to bank records, insider accounts, and exclusive interviews with whistle-blowers from within Opus Dei, Gore reveals how money from the bank was used to lure unsuspecting recruits—some of them only children—into a life of servitude. He also tracks the ascent of Opus Dei within the United States, exposing its role in bankrolling many right-wing causes, including the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. In an era of disinformation and deep fakes, here is a real-life conspiracy which hid in plain sight for more than sixty years.

Title: The Barn: The Murder of Emmett Till and the Cradle of American Racism Author: Wright Thompson Narrator: Wright Thompson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 38 minutes Release date: September 26, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. How forces from around the world converged on the Mississippi Delta to bring about the most consequential murder in US history. Emmett Till’s murder is one of the most infamous in American history; a moment that, more than any other, awakened the world to the racism of the Deep South. Yet despite growing up just a few miles from where it happened, Wright Thompson knew nothing of it until he left Mississippi. This is no accident: the cover-up began at once, and it is ongoing. Over the course of five years’ research, Thompson has learnt that almost every part of the standard account of Till’s killing is wrong. In August 1955, after the two men charged with the murder were acquitted by an all-white jury, they gave a false confession to a journalist: one that was misleading about where the murder took place and who was involved. We now know that at least eight people were present, and many more complicit. And we now know precisely where it took place: inside a barn on a 36-square-mile grid called Township 22 North, Range 4 West. This book tells the story of that barn. It is the story of what really happened on the night of August 28, 1955, and of the individuals who have spent decades bringing the truth to light. And it is the story of the centuries-old forces that made that night inevitable: forces that, over the course of 200 years, transformed Township 22 North, Range 4 West from Choctaw land, to a slave plantation, to a sharecropper’s farm, to the site of the most significant murder in US history. The result is a revelatory work of investigative reportage and a panoramic new history of white supremacy in America. It maps the road that the US – and the world – must travel to heal its oldest, deepest wound. © Wright Thompson 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/772651Thu, 26 Sep 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/772651 to listen full audiobooks.

An incredible true story of murder, romance and a fateful search for utopia in the Galápagos from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park At the height of the Great Depression, Los Angeles oil mogul George Allan Hancock and his crew of Smithsonian scientists, who had spent four years travelling the South Seas collecting rare specimens for scientific research, came upon a gruesome scene on reaching the Galápagos: two bodies, mummified by the searing heat, on the shore of the remote island. Hancock was surprised to discover an equally exotic group of humans: European exiles who had fled political and economic unrest, hoping to create a utopian paradise. As Hancock and his fellow American explorers would witness, paradise had turned into chaos. The three sets of exiles – a Berlin doctor and his lover, a traumatised World War I veteran and his young family, and an Austrian baroness with two adoring paramours – were riven by conflict. Petty slights led to angry confrontations. The baroness, wielding a riding crop and a pearl-handled revolver, staged fights between her two lovers and brazenly seduced American tourists. The conclusion was deadly: two exiles missing, two others dead, and the survivors hurling accusations of murder. Using previously unpublished archives, Abbott Kahler weaves a chilling, stranger-than-fiction tale worthy of Agatha Christie, a mystery as alluring and curious as the Galápagos themselves.

To this day, fundamental truths about the crime are widely unknown, including where it took place and how many people were involved. This is no accident: the cover-up began at once, and it is ongoing.  In August 1955, two men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, were charged with the torture and murder of the 14-year-old Emmett Till in Money, Mississippi. After their inevitable acquittal in a mockery of justice, they gave a false confession to a journalist, which was misleading about where the long night of hell took place and who was involved. In fact, Wright Thompson reveals, at least eight people can be placed at the scene, which was inside the barn of one of the killers, on a plot of land within the six-square-mile grid whose official name is Township 22 North, Range 4 West, Section 2, West Half, fabled in the Delta of myth as the birthplace of the blues on nearby Dockery Plantation. Even in the context of the racist caste regime of the time, the four-hour torture and murder of a Black boy barely in his teens for whistling at a young white woman was acutely depraved; Till’s mother Mamie Till-Mobley’s decision to keep the casket open seared the crime indelibly into American consciousness. Wright Thompson has a deep understanding of this story—the world of the families of both Emmett Till and his killers, and all the forces that aligned to place them together on that spot on the map. As he shows, the full horror of the crime was its inevitability, and how much about it we still need to understand. Ultimately this is a story about property, and money, and power, and white supremacy. It implicates all of us. In The Barn, Thompson brings to life the small group of dedicated people who have been engaged in the hard, fearful business of bringing the truth to light. Putting the killing floor of the barn on the map of Township 22 North, Range 4 West, Section 2, West Half, and the Delta, and America, is a way of mapping the road this country must travel if we are to heal our oldest, deepest wound.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739082Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739082 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Eden Undone: A True Story of Sex, Murder, and Utopia at the Dawn of World War II Author: Abbott Kahler Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 53 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: An incredible true story of murder, romance, and a fateful search for utopia in the Galápagos—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park “Abbott Kahler’s wickedly gothic tale confronts an essential truth about those who ditch civilization: Try as we might, humans cannot elude the tyranny of our own nature.”—Hampton Sides, author of The Wide Wide Sea “With taut prose and sublime storytelling, Kahler crafts an atmospheric page-turner, ominous and thought-provoking.”—Kate Moore, author of The Radium Girls and The Woman They Could Not Silence At the height of the Great Depression, Los Angeles oil mogul George Allan Hancock and his crew of Smithsonian scientists came upon a gruesome scene: two bodies, mummified by the searing heat, on the shore of a remote Galápagos island. For the past four years Hancock and other American elites had traveled the South Seas to collect specimens for scientific research. On one trip to the Galápagos, Hancock was surprised to discover an equally exotic group of humans: European exiles who had fled political and economic unrest, hoping to create a utopian paradise. One was so devoted to a life of isolation that he’d had his teeth extracted and replaced with a set of steel dentures. As Hancock and his fellow American explorers would witness, paradise had turned into chaos. The three sets of exiles—a Berlin doctor and his lover, a traumatized World War I veteran and his young family, and an Austrian baroness with two adoring paramours—were riven by conflict. Petty slights led to angry confrontations. The baroness, wielding a riding crop and pearl-handled revolver, staged physical fights between her two lovers and unabashedly seduced American tourists. The conclusion was deadly: with two exiles missing and two others dead, the survivors hurled accusations of murder. Using never-before-published archives, Abbott Kahler weaves a chilling, stranger-than-fiction tale worthy of Agatha Christie. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the march to World War II, with a mystery as alluring and curious as the Galápagos itself, Eden Undone explores the universal and timeless desire to seek utopia—and lays bare the human fallibility that, inevitably, renders such a quest doomed.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/778516Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/778516 to listen full audiobooks.

A blonde beauty queen, missing children, six suspicious deaths, and the twisted Mormon doomsday writings of her fifth husband are only the beginning of a tragic crime saga that gripped Americans and instigated frantic searches all over the country. It all started when Lori Vallow met Chad Daybell at a doomsday prepper event. Their story grew like a wildfire that creates its own weather, and what happened next will shock even the most experienced true crime reader. Clinging to and manipulating one another, Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell believed the return of Jesus Christ was imminent and that God had chosen them to lead the 144,000 and usher in the new millennium. When the people closest to them began dying, it became clear they would stop at nothing to be together and fulfill their mission. When the bodies of Lori’s missing children—J.J. and Tylee—were discovered in Chad’s backyard, the strange and complex story of their fundamentalist Mormon beliefs was revealed in all its true horror. Author Lori Hellis, a retired criminal lawyer, had just moved to Arizona when news of J.J. and Tylee's disappearance broke, and there were reports about these missing children that linked them to a neighboring community. She began to follow the case closely, trying to understand this perfect storm of people and circumstances that culminated in the death of innocents.

They didn't return that day, or the next. A week later, their truck was found abandoned on a mountain road. Inside was their dog, malnourished but alive, the family's cell phones, wallets, and $32,000 in cash. The ensuing eight-month search was the largest in Oklahoma history, but it yielded little evidence. Online, bloggers and web sleuths put forth dozens of theories, fueled by the Jamisons' strange, trancelike behavior on a CCTV video. Some claimed the family was abducted by white supremacists or a religious cult. In 2013, there was a tragic break in the case, when deer hunters stumbled upon the skeletal remains of two adults and a child in the Smokestack Hollow area of Panola Mountain. Forensic testing confirmed the Jamisons' identities. But the mystery was only beginning. Had the Jamisons been planning to abandon their lives and raise Madyson alone in the wilderness—and if so, why? What happened to the briefcase and handgun that Sheryilynn was seen putting into the car?

Lucky Loser is one of those rare Trump books that deserve, even demand, to be read.” –Alexander Nazaryan, The New York Times From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters behind the 2018 bombshell New York Times exposé of then-President Trump’s finances, an explosive investigation into the history of Donald Trump’s wealth, revealing how one of the country’s biggest business failures lied his way into the White House Soon after announcing his first campaign for the US presidency, Donald J. Trump told a national television audience that life “has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me.” Building on a narrative he had been telling for decades, he spun a hardscrabble fable of how he parlayed a small loan from his father into a multi-billion-dollar business and real estate empire. This feat, he argued, made him singularly qualified to lead the country. Except: None of it was true. Born to a rich father who made him the beneficiary of his own highly lucrative investments, Trump received the equivalent of more than $500 million today via means that required no business expertise whatsoever. Drawing on over twenty years’ worth of Trump’s confidential tax information, including the tax returns he tried to conceal, alongside business records and interviews with Trump insiders, New York Times investigative reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig track Trump's financial rise and fall, and rise and fall again. For decades, he squanders his fortunes on money losing businesses, only to be saved yet again by financial serendipity. He tacks his name above the door of every building, while taking out huge loans he’ll never repay. He obsesses over appearances, while ignoring threats to the bottom line and mounting costly lawsuits against city officials. He tarnishes the value of his name by allowing anyone with a big enough check to use it, and cheats the television producer who not only rescues him from bankruptcy but casts him as a business savant – the public image that will carry him to the White House.  A masterpiece of narrative reporting, Lucky Loser is a meticulous examination spanning nearly a century, filled with scoops from Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, Atlantic City, and the set of The Apprentice. At a moment when Trump’s tether to success and power is more precarious than ever, here for the first time is the definitive true accounting of Trump and his money – what he had, what he lost, and what he has left – and the final word on the myth of Trump, the self-made billionaire.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/758852Tue, 17 Sep 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/758852 to listen full audiobooks.

The false teeth of a female serial killer from 1908, the cut-and-paste confession of the Black Dahlia killer, the newly cracked cipher of the Zodiac killer, the shotgun used in the Clutter family murders, which were made famous by Truman Capote's true crime classic In Cold Blood—these are more than simple artifacts that once belonged to notorious murderers. They are objects of fascination to the legion of true crime obsessives around the world. And not merely for fleeting dark thrills, but because they represent a way to better understand those who we typically label monsters in lieu of learning how they actually became one. In Murderabilia, veteran true crime writer Harold Schechter presents 100 murder-related artifacts spanning two centuries (1808–2014), with accompanying stories of various lengths. A visual and literary journey, it presents a history unlike any previously told in the true crime genre, one that speaks to the dark fascination of true crime fans while also presenting a larger historical timeline of how and why we continue to be captivated by the most sensational crimes and killers among us.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/793585Tue, 17 Sep 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/793585 to listen full audiobooks.

Noch in derselben Nacht wird Bernhard Scherrer in Untersuchungshaft genommen. Anklage: Mord. Von einem Moment auf den anderen wird sein Leben ein Albtraum, der kein Ende nehmen will. Anhand der Befragungen des Verdächtigen durch die Kommissarin, den Aussagen des Polizisten, der in der Nacht als Erster vor Ort war, und von Beamten der Spurensicherung, der Rechtsmedizinerin, des forensischen Psychiaters, Nachbarn und Bekannten der Scherrers zeichnet Christine Brand das Leben der Familie und eine unbegreifliche Tat nach.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/scam-goddess-lessons-from-a-life-of-cons-grifts-and-schemes-by-laci-mosley--65273885https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739394 to listen full audiobooks.

Little ones. Ones that didn’t hurt people or get her in trouble. But ones that would get her where she needed to be. “You see,” she writes, “everyone’s a scammer and everything’s a scam. Some people are better at it than others, but we all do it. The system wasn’t built for people like me. Scamming saved me and has taught me how to navigate a messy and unfair world while looking out for myself, too.” In Scam Goddess, Laci recounts how her scammer instincts have guided her throughout her life—from a religious childhood in rural Texas, to a stint as a city bartender at what might have been a drug front, to swindling her way past the gatekeepers of Hollywood—recounting the greatest true-crime scam stories that inspired her along the way. Whether it’s by the beauty industry, capitalism, or the people we date, we’re all getting scammed.

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about history’s most notorious cults–and the psychology of the people who join them–is packed into this accessible, engaging volume. Walk in the footsteps of the followers who were lured into these sinister groups, including: Branch Davidians: Led by David Koresh, this cult was waiting out the apocalypse in 1993 when the FBI infamously raided their compound in Waco, Texas.

Title: The Kingpin and the Crooked Cop Author: Neil Mercer Narrator: Nathan Lang Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 7 minutes Release date: September 5, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The life and crimes of our most corrupt policeman and most notorious gangster – featuring astonishing new evidence. Roger Rogerson captured Australia's attention as its most notorious cop in the golden age of graft and violence. But who was the real Rogerson? And who was his principal partner in crime, the underworld kingpin, heroin dealer and armed bandit Arthur 'Neddy' Smith? Now Rogerson and Smith are both dead, and the full truth can be revealed. Roger and Neddy have fascinated the public for decades. Our most decorated yet crooked police officer and the murderous drug importer he protected and enabled led interwoven careers that were truly stranger than fiction. Their crimes were committed against a backdrop of a changing Australia, as the nation's social fabric adapted to a more global world, and money - and drugs - poured into the country. Police, judges and even the media were up for sale, and Rogerson and Smith were the princes in this glamourous but bloody kingdom. But as Roger and Neddy grew ever richer and more powerful, their crimes became too brazen, too violent and too public, leading to their spectacular downfall, years in court and life in prison. Crime reporter Neil Mercer knew Roger and Neddy since early 1980s, when the men were at the height of their powers. He followed their careers for major news outlets, met with them and was given exclusive interviews and insider information. Rogerson even wrote to him from jail. With key witnesses finally coming forward, Mercer has uncovered astonishing new evidence that will rewrite the story of the Australian underworld. The Kingpin and the Crooked Cop is the definitive account of Roger and Neddy, and the era that made them. As compelling as any crime novel, it is filled with colour, violence and inside stories not seen or read before.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/798559Thu, 05 Sep 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/798559 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Cabeza de serpiente: Una epopeya oscura en Chinatown Author: Patrick Radden Keefe Narrator: Jordi Salas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 27 minutes Release date: September 5, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: **Mejor libro del año según Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle y la American Library Association** **Finalista del Gold Dagger Award en categoría de no ficción y del Lukas Prize de la Facultad de Periodismo de Columbia** «Una historia compleja, narrada con tanto talento y gusto por el misterio y los giros de guion que por momentos se lee como una novela de John le Carré». The Washington Post «Una mezcla de El Padrino y Chinatown, aderezada con tiroteos, una mafiosa despiadada y una gran montaña de dinero. Con la salvedad de que todo aquí es real». Time Patrick Radden Keefe nos introduce en Cabeza de serpiente en el mundo subterráneo del tráfico de personas. El primero de los hilos de esta historia nos lleva al increíble periplo del Golden Venture, el barco que embarrancó en la península de Rockaway, cerca de Nueva York, en la madrugada del 6 de junio de 1993, cargado con más de trescientos inmigrantes chinos sin documentación, retransmitido en directo a casi todo el mundo. En el centro de aquel suceso operaba una insólita criminal: una mujer de mediana edad y completamente anodina llamada Cheng Chui Ping que, desde la trastienda de un pequeño bazar en Chinatown, construyó año tras año un imperio multimillonario. El sueño americano solo podía empezar bien si trabajabas con la Hermana Ping, la mayor «cabeza de serpiente» de Estados Unidos, alguien capaz de organizar el pasaje de miles y miles de compatriotas a cambio de pequeñas fortunas. Otros hilos de esta historia nos muestran guerras de bandas (entre las que destacaban los violentos miembros de la Fuk Ching), los circuitos del dinero negro hacia la provincia de Fujian, algunos fallos internos de las organizaciones estadounidenses -como el SIN- que vigilan las fronteras, o el FBI investigando durante décadas a los «cabezas de serpiente» y sus infructuosos esfuerzos por detenerlos. La crítica ha dicho: «Vibrante e imprescindible. [...] He leído el libro de forma compulsiva, tratando de no despegarme del sofá nada más que para lo imprescindible. [...] Si es usted valiente y desprejuiciado, lea Cabeza de serpiente, insisto. La disfrutará y le dará mucho que pensar y debatir, con usted mismo y con los demás». Jesús Lens, Ideal de Granada «El nuevo niño bonito de la non-fiction norteamericana. [...] En Cabeza de serpiente están todos los elementos que cimentan su éxito: un gusto muy yanqui por la narración a través de escenas y una investigación extremadamente rigurosa». Jaime G. Mora, ABC «Un viaje estremecedor [que] se lee como un thriller intenso y magistral. [...] Un reportaje profundo sobre las mafias chinas que se devora como una gran novela». J. Infante, J. M. Barasorda y Ó.B. de Otálora, El Correo «Se necesita mucho talento para combinar una forma ágil y precisa con un fondo profundo y potente, pero precisamente de talento va sobrado Patrick Radden Keefe». Álvaro Soto, La Rioja «Escudado en una investigación formidable, el autor es capaz de levantar al mismo tiempo un libro extremadamente meticuloso y un gran retablo sobre el mundo del crimen». Janet Maslin, The New York Times «Un libro dinámico y vibrante, escrito con gracia, empatía e inteligencia. [...] Fascinante». The New York Times Book Review «Ni siquiera una habitación repleta de guionistas de Hollywood encadenados a sus portátiles sería capaz de imaginar una trama criminal tan real y chocante como la vida de Hermana Ping».

This is the untold story of New Haven's illegal past. One of America's most historic and enduring cities, New Haven has wrangled with a perpetual identity struggle, torn between worlds that occasionally converged in chaos and violence. In the 1930s, Connecticut became a region where Mafia families like the Genoveses, Gambinos, Colombos, and Patriarcas shared turf—working together with enough profits to go around or descending into open war to rival that experienced in any major city. Central to this conflict were three men who were, at different times, cautious allies or sworn nemeses. Representing the Genoveses, Midge Renault reigned supreme thanks to his reputation for wanton violence. Meanwhile, Colombo capo Ralph 'Whitey' Tropiano maintained a lower profile, which belied his reputation as a vicious killer.

Title: Here, Where Death Delights: A Literary Memoir Author: Mary Jumbelic M.D. Narrator: Mary Jumbelic M.D. Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: September 2, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Mary Jumbelic has been obsessed with death since the loss of her father when she was 13. The sudden departure of her dad, the mother left behind, and her position as an only child led her to grow up quickly. Yet the why and how of her father's death plagued her. She chose to view an autopsy at the age of 15 and discovered a science that explained the process. College, medical school and becoming a forensic pathologist wasn't a given. She struggled before ultimately deciding on a career as a medical examiner. For 25 years, she analyzed corpses and explained to families what had happened to their loved ones, something that hadn't been done for her. She faced blood, gore, violence, and grief in urban and country morgues. She worked for the federal government and internationally in mass disasters. This daily confrontation challenged her to re-live her own loss. She became an advocate in recognizing preventable injuries to help reduce fatalities. Dr. Jumbelic developed a way to honor the person's life by speaking for them in courts, classrooms, and interviews. How did she finally integrate death into her own life so filled with hope? This is her journey. Mary Jumbelic, M.D., is a board-certified forensic pathologist who has performed thousands of autopsies. She received awards from the National Transportation Safety Board and the New York State Senate, and has been recognized by the National Organization of Women as a trailblazer. This is her first book, an interweaving of personal and professional stories that demystify death. She lives with her husband in Central New York. Her motto is 'I speak for the dead. They speak for me.']]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/813967Mon, 02 Sep 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/813967 to listen full audiobooks.

In this 'down-to-earth realistic account,' Joey tells the riveting story behind the strangest of his thirty-eight kills (Los Angeles Free Press). In the fall of 1969, a public execution in an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn earned Joey a mention in the New York Daily News and a twenty-grand payout from the mob. On the surface, his next job seemed just as routine: The bosses suspected their trusted numbers controller, Joe Squillante, was skimming the nightly bets to settle personal debts. Joey gave Squillante two weeks to live. But there was one problem: Squillante once had a hit out on Joey too. No clueless patsy, #29 was an unpredictable bull's-eye, and the contract holder was a dangerous mobster with a personal grudge against Joey. Taking the job meant entering into a game of predator and prey as nerve-racking as the cock of a .38 hammer.

A true story of murder and vengeance, a shattered community and a miscarriage of justice that echoes down the decades October 1971. Nineteen-year-old Una Lynskey vanishes near her home in Co. Meath. In the weeks that follow, and on flimsy grounds, gardaí identify three young local men as suspects. Within days of her body being found, one of the three is beaten to death by members of Una’s family. The entire sequence of events is a tragedy in a quiet rural community - the wrong men jailed, no one ever facing justice - and becomes one of the most notorious failures in Irish policing and judicial history. In Who Killed Una Lynskey?, award-winning journalist Mick Clifford has built a compelling portrait of the case from interviews with the surviving main players, as well as exclusive access to the files of a private investigator who uncovered information the gardaí missed - or ignored. A timely, humane and compulsive read, this is a ground-breaking account of the botched investigation and its devastating consequences for not just four devastated families, but also the reputation of the gardaí. © Mick Clifford 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/775559Thu, 22 Aug 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/775559 to listen full audiobooks.

He was always ready with a favor, a drink, and an invitation to Moselle, his family’s 1,700-acre hunting estate. The Murdaugh name ignited respect—and fear—for a hundred miles. When he murdered his wife, Maggie, and son Paul at Moselle on a dark summer night, the fragile façade of Alex’s world could no longer hold. His forefathers had covered up a midnight suicide at a remote railroad crossing, a bootlegging ring run from a courthouse, and the attempted murder of a pregnant lover. Alex, too, almost walked away from his unspeakable crimes with his reputation intact, but his downfall was secured by a twist of fate, some stray mistakes, and a fateful decision by an old friend who’d finally seen enough. Why would a man who had everything kill his wife and grown son? To unwind the roots of Alex’s ruin, award-winning journalist Valerie Bauerlein reported not just from the courthouse every day but also along the backroads and through the tidal marshes of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. When the jurors made their pilgrimage to the crime scene, trying to envision Maggie and Paul’s last moments, she walked right behind them, sensing the ghosts that haunt the Murdaughs’ now-shattered legacy. Through masterful research and cinematic writing, The Devil at His Elbow is a transporting journey through Alex’s life, the night of the murders, and the investigation that culminated in a trial that held tens of millions spellbound. With her stunning insights and fearless instinct for the truth, Bauerlein uncovers layers of the Murdaugh murder case that have not been told. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with a list of major characters, a map, and acknowledgments from the book.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/769164Tue, 20 Aug 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/769164 to listen full audiobooks.

In less than two years, the state put seven men to death. It was an execution spree unlike any seen in Tennessee since the 1940s, only brought to a halt by a global pandemic. Award-winning journalist Steven Hale was the leading reporter on these executions, covering them both locally for the Nashville Scene alt-weekly and nationally for The Appeal. In Death Row Welcomes You, Hale traces the lives of condemned prisoners at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution—and the people who come to visit them. What brought them—the visitors and convicted murderers alike—to death row? The visitors are, for the most part, not activists—or at least they did not start out that way. Nor are they the sort of killer-obsessed death row groupies such settings sometimes attract. In fact, in most cases they are average people whose lives, not to mention their views on the death penalty, were turned upside down by a face-to-face meeting with a death row prisoner.

Pero lo que no se analizaba —porque no se sabía a fondo, estaba escondido de manera perspicaz o no estábamos preparados como sociedad para entenderlo— es que detrás se encontraba tal vez uno de los casos más crueles de la historia del espectáculo, no sólo en nuestro país, sino en el mundo entero. Karlade la Cuesta fue una de las víctimas de abuso y explotación. Hoy desde una tribuna distinta, como abogada, activista y con la experiencia de haber estudiado por años múltiples casos de víctimas de estos delitos, tuvo acceso al expediente judicial completo —casi una tonelada de fojas— del caso en contra de Sergio Andrade, Gloria Trevi y Mary Boquitas, y con ello exponeen este libro una radiografía precisa de los abusos, torturas, esclavitud y explotación que vivieron más de 40 adolescentes y jóvenes. El viaje de Karla desde la total indefensión hasta la supervivencia es un testimonio de la resiliencia del ser humano.

Pero lo que no se analizaba —porque no se sabía a fondo, estaba escondido de manera perspicaz o no estábamos preparados como sociedad para entenderlo— es que detrás se encontraba tal vez uno de los casos más crueles de la historia del espectáculo, no sólo en nuestro país, sino en el mundo entero. Karlade la Cuesta fue una de las víctimas de abuso y explotación. Hoy desde una tribuna distinta, como abogada, activista y con la experiencia de haber estudiado por años múltiples casos de víctimas de estos delitos, tuvo acceso al expediente judicial completo —casi una tonelada de fojas— del caso en contra de Sergio Andrade, Gloria Trevi y Mary Boquitas, y con ello exponeen este libro una radiografía precisa de los abusos, torturas, esclavitud y explotación que vivieron más de 40 adolescentes y jóvenes. El viaje de Karla desde la total indefensión hasta la supervivencia es un testimonio de la resiliencia del ser humano. Todo a la luz no busca sólo alzar la voz en forma de denuncia, sino también servir de apoyo para quienes vivenuna situación similar; estelibro es un poderoso recordatorio de la importancia de hablar en contra del abuso y reclamar frente a la opresión.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-serial-killer-next-door-the-double-lives-of-notorious-murderers-by-richard-estep--65273737https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/807110 to listen full audiobooks.

Maybe you should get to know them better! Growing up, we are taught that monsters are easy to identify, but the truth is very different. Too often, the serial murderer does not stand out. Otherwise, he, or she, would get caught. To their coworkers, neighbors, and others who knew them, they led unremarkable lives.

This chilling book looks at the horrifying stories of nearly thirty malevolent killers who were mistakenly trusted, including ● Genene Jones, a nurse responsible for the murder of sixty infants and children in her care. ● Robert Lee Yates, a helicopter pilot in the Army National Guard who, when caught, buried one body outside his bedroom window as his wife slept. ● Gary Ridgway, also known as the Green River Killer, who went undetected for twenty years. ● And dozens of other serial killers!]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/807110Tue, 20 Aug 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/807110 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Killer: The Autobiography of a Mafia Hit Man Author: Joey the Hit Man Narrator: Steve Marvel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The Bronx-born son of a Jewish bootlegger, 'Joey the Hit Man' was introduced to crime when he was just eleven years old. For the next thirty years he was a numbers king, scalper, loan shark, enforcer, and drug smuggler. He hijacked trucks, fenced stolen goods, and trafficked in pornography. But Joey really made his name as a Mafia assassin, racking up thirty-eight cold-blooded hits—thirty-five for cash, three for revenge. In Killer, Joey tells the true story of life in organized crime. He exposes the reality of gang wars, discusses how he raised a family while living on the wrong side of the law, and documents the day-to-day business of crime—from making and breaking alliances to staying one step ahead of the cops. 'People think because they saw [The Godfather] they know everything there is to know about organized crime,' Joey contends. In this no-holds-barred account, he reveals the brutal truth behind the Hollywood fantasy. This new edition of Killer includes an afterword by coauthor David Fisher that unmasks Joey's real identity—and the circumstances behind his death that add another layer of mystery to his complicated, colorful, and fascinating life.

Title: White Robes and Broken Badges: Infiltrating the KKK and Exposing the Evil Among Us Author: Joe Moore Narrator: Roger Wayne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 51 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In this shocking memoir, a former FBI informant reveals what he learned from successfully infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan in the backwoods of the Sunshine State, uncovering details about the hate group’s structure and its modern far-right spinoffs which are operating to achieve the same goal: inciting a second civil war by whatever violent means necessary. “We need you back.” It was a call FBI informant and former Army sniper Joe Moore never expected to get. He’d already infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan once before, and his contributions prevented an assassination attempt targeting then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. Moore nearly lost his life in the process. But now, the FBI needed Moore’s help once again. In White Robes and Broken Badges, Moore reveals the astounding true story of how he became one of the most entrenched and valuable undercover agents in the FBI’s history. Gripping, told with astonishing detail, this heart pounding and darkly propulsive memoir vividly recounts how he infiltrated the “Invisible Empire” at the highest levels—not once, but twice—becoming a Grand Knighthawk, overseeing security, defense, and internal communications for the domestic terrorist group across Florida and Georgia. Moore makes clear how the seeds of violence and hate spawned the tragedy in Charlottesville, the failed January 6 Capitol coup, and the growing threat posed by extremist militias—including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and others. Going undercover, Moore discovered the shocking connections between the KKK and law enforcement across Florida—police officers, prison guards, and sheriff’s deputies who all belonged to the Klan—and eventually exposed the terrifying presence of right-wing extremists throughout law enforcement today. Moore reflects on the steep personal costs of immersing himself in the Klan’s racist ideology and twisted rituals—and its effect on himself and his family—while secretly providing the FBI with invaluable information on the Klan’s inner workings, murderous plots, and plans for civil war. With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin, White Robes and Broken Badges is a comprehensive and unprecedented look at a growing threat in America and an urgent call-to-action—because ultimately, the answers to healing the divides in this country lie in its perilous history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728564Tue, 13 Aug 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728564 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: In the Wind: The Disappearance of Janice Starr Author: Ron Peterson Jr. Narrator: Kyle Tait Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 16 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1981, detective Kay Schucker was the lead investigator in the high-profile missing persons case of Old Dominion University student Janice Starr. The beautiful coed disappeared without a trace from ODU's Norfolk, Virginia campus. Among the only leads was Janice's diary, which included detailed journal entries about her daily activities. As Kay studied the diary—going several years back—she learned that Janice, a US Army veteran, had faced the same challenges in the military that Kay did in law enforcement. They were both women trying to succeed in a man's world. Feeling a kinship toward Janice, Kay became consumed with unraveling the mystery of Janice's disappearance and possible death. As the investigation unfolded, Kay began to suspect that Janice had an affair with her ROTC professor at ODU, Army captain Dwight Beddingfield—a well-respected family man married with three kids. Kay was warned by superiors to tread lightly in her investigation of Beddingfield and cautioned not to dig too deeply. But she soon uncovered a life insurance scheme and discovered that Janice had been assigned a series of dangerous tasks by Captain Beddingfield. Did these circumstances play a role in Janice's demise? Was the highly regarded Beddingfield actually a killer?

Title: McMillions: The Absolutely True Story of How an Unlikely Pair of FBI Agents Brought Down the Most Supersized Fraud in Fast Food History Author: Brian Lazarte, James Lee Hernandez Narrator: Brian Lazarte, James Lee Hernandez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 57 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In this stranger than fiction story of the massive crime network that rigged the McDonald’s monopoly game for decades, unlock new, exclusive interviews and stories that couldn't make it into the HBO docuseries, McMillion$. Perfect for readers of Argo, The Wizard of Lies, and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. In March of 2001, Federal prosecutor Mark Devereaux cold-called Rob Holm, the head of security for McDonald's Corporation. Without explanation, Devereaux asked that Holm and several other McDonald's senior executives plan a visit to the Jacksonville, Florida, FBI, and tell no one about their intended destination. It wasn't up for discussion. Upon their arrival, Devereaux watched them closely, looking at body language, checking for tells. To him, they were all potential suspects. Once they were seated in an unremarkable conference room, sealed away in the hyper-secure FBI building, Devereaux began to lay out a shocking conspiracy, one that ran deep into McDonald's most beloved promotions: the Monopoly game. This is where they began to discover from 1989 to 2001, almost every high-value prize winner was actually illegitimate. But how could this happen and who all was behind it? A rookie FBI agent and a brilliant undercover operation led them to one man who brilliantly crafted a near-infallible nationwide conspiracy for fraud. Expanded from the wildly popular HBO docuseries with major new interviews, McMillion$ traces this massive crime, the intricate web of lies that bolstered it, and the tireless work of the FBI agents that unraveled it all. It is a story littered with tragedy: families torn apart, betrayals, financial ruin, and one suspicious car crash. Yet, there are bright spots in the hijinks of the FBI agents and their co-conspirators. Ultimately, it is a story of what happens when the American dream goes very wrong.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733868Tue, 06 Aug 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733868 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Devil Behind the Badge: The Horrifying Twelve Days of the Border Patrol Serial Killer Author: Rick Jervis Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 27 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The shocking true-crime story of a U.S. Border Patrol agent turned serial killer, the four sex workers whom he mercilessly killed, and the upended border town of Laredo where his heinous crimes occurred. Twelve days is all it took. Melissa Ramirez, Claudine Anne Luera, Guiselda Hernandez, and Janelle Ortiz were four marginalized women striving to make ends meet as sex workers. They looked out for one another. But they would soon share a connection that none of them could have imagined. When Melissa was found dead, the other three women were on edge but assumed they were safe. Twelve days later, they too were dead and police had detained an unlikely suspect—Juan David Ortiz, a ten-year veteran of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he carried a badge, a service revolver, and was entrusted to protect the community in which he eventually killed. From September 3 through September 15, 2018, Ortiz, a husband and doting father to three children, lured his victims into his white Dodge truck and drove them to the outskirts of town where he violently executed them, leaving them dead or dying on the sides of dark, rural roads. In this fast-paced, electrifying tick-tock, Pulitzer Prize–winning USA TODAY journalist Rick Jervis tells the gripping story of the four murders that shook the small border town of Laredo, and the quest to unmask a cold, calculated killer who was hiding in plain sight. The Devil Behind the Badge is also a deeply human portrait of the four lives lost and an attempt to uncover what motivated Ortiz’s descent into darkness. Along the way, it raises serious questions about the border crisis, the abuse of law enforcement, and the challenges of a federal agency to police its own ranks.

As cryptocurrency rose in popularity during the pandemic, new converts bought into the idea that crypto would not only make them rich, but would usher in imminent revolutions across art, finance, politics, and gaming. Cryptocurrency caught the zeitgeist through figures like FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who only two years later would be convicted of one of the most calamitous acts of financial fraud in US history. During his meteoric rise, Sam Bankman-Fried outflanked idealists in the movement like Vitalik Buterin, who sought to build fairer, more democratic systems through Ethereum. Bankman-Fried pursued a growth-obsessed, by-any-means approach to crypto, which proved seductive to those who just wanted to get rich. But this Silicon Valley-like approach also drove the creation of a spate of high-risk financial instruments that mirrored those of the 2008 financial crisis. Accused of misleading investors and mishandling funds, Bankman-Fried became a target of prosecutors. Now, Cryptomania unfolds the tumultuous twenty months inside this male-dominated, overhyped industry that led to its downfall.

Kennedy has been told from many points of view, most significantly in the wave of books exploring the Warren Commission's findings and the conspiracy theories that followed. But for journalist Steven Beschloss, the story of Lee Harvey Oswald began with the troubled bond with his mother. Drawing on public records, key interviews with Marguerite Oswald and other family members, and Lee's own writing and statements, Beschloss traces the origins of an American tragedy back to the lonely boy who couldn't find a way to belong and the unstable mother. Often left to his own devices, young Oswald read heavily, skipped school, and hatched plans to make his mark on the world. The Gunman and His Mother reveals the complex parental relationship that turned a boy into a killer responsible for a crime that changed American history. This updated edition includes material from never-before-seen files containing Marguerite Oswald's personal writings, as well as a series of lawsuits Marguerite brought against various people.

Title: Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America Author: John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr Narrator: Rich Miller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 27 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Only in 1995 did the United States government officially reveal the existence of the super-secret Venona Project. For nearly fifty years American intelligence agents had been decoding thousands of Soviet messages, uncovering an enormous range of espionage activities carried out against the United States during World War II by its own allies. This extraordinary book is the first to examine the Venona messages. Venona Project cryptanalysts, linguists, and mathematicians attempted to decode thousands of intercepted Soviet intelligence telegrams. Analysts uncovered information of powerful significance: the first indication of Julius Rosenberg's espionage efforts; references to the espionage activities of Alger Hiss; proof of Soviet infiltration of the Manhattan Project; evidence that spies had reached the highest levels of the U.S. State and Treasury Departments; indications that more than three hundred Americans had assisted in the Soviet theft of American secrets; and confirmation that the Communist party of the United States was consciously and willingly involved in Soviet espionage against America. Drawing not only on the Venona papers but also on newly opened Russian and U.

Now Van is running for his life, pursued by a murderous Soviet agent and government forces bent on keeping all he has seen from getting out.

Where had it gone so terribly wrong?   This is the question that has plagued acclaimed author Sarah Gerard and driven her obsessive pursuit to understand this horrific tragedy. In Sarah’s exploration of Carolyn’s life and death, she spent thousands of hours interviewing Carolyn's and Render’s friends and family, poring over court documents and news media, reading obscure writings and internet posts, and attending Carolyn’s memorials and Render’s trial.   What emerged from Sarah’s relentless instinct to follow a story and its characters to their darkest ends is a book that is at once a striking homage to Carolyn’s life, a chilling excavation of a brutal crime, and a captivating whydunit with a shocking conclusion.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/783017Tue, 09 Jul 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/783017 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Billion Dollar Whale: The Man Who Fooled Wall Street, Hollywood, and the World Author: Tom Wright, Bradley Hope Narrator: Will Collyer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 25 minutes Release date: July 8, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The dust had yet to settle on the global financial crisis in 2009 when an unlikely Wharton grad set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. The nuts and bolts of the scheme were shockingly simple: A young, big-talking, huckster persuaded the Prime Minister of Malaysia to create an investment fund that he would direct from the shadows, raised more than ten billion dollars from global investors with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, and over the next half decade siphoned off no less than $5 billion: money used to finance elections; to purchase luxury real estate in London, New York, and Los Angeles; to produce Hollywood films, including The Wolf of Wall Street--and to throw champagne-drenched parties around the world. Low's largesse also won him friendships with Hollywood actors, Victoria's Secret models, and even with a member of President Obama's inner circle. More staggering still, no one seemed to notice--not the global banks, such as Goldman and J.P. Morgan, who turned a blind eye to shady transfers of hundreds of millions of dollars; and not the international auditors, central bankers, and official financial-system watchdogs. At the centre of this fraud was Jho Low--a character so preposterous he seems made up. Federal agents who helped unravel Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme say the Jho Low affair, when its full contours become known, will become a textbook case for tracking transnational fraud in the modern age. BILLION DOLLAR WHALE will become a classic, harrowing parable about the financial world in the 21st century.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/794543Mon, 08 Jul 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/794543 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum: The Rise and Fall of an American Organized-Crime Boss Author: Margalit Fox Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 17 minutes Release date: July 2, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: America’s first great organized-crime lord was a lady—a nice Jewish mother named Mrs. Mandelbaum. “A tour de force . . . With a pickpocket’s finesse, Margalit Fox lures us into the criminal underworld of Gilded Age New York.”—Liza Mundy, author of The Sisterhood In 1850, an impoverished twenty-five-year-old named Fredericka Mandelbaum came to New York in steerage and worked as a peddler on the streets of Lower Manhattan. By the 1870s she was a fixture of high society and an admired philanthropist. How was she able to ascend from tenement poverty to vast wealth? In the intervening years, “Marm” Mandelbaum had become the country’s most notorious “fence”—a receiver of stolen goods—and a criminal mastermind. By the mid-1880s as much as $10 million worth of purloined luxury goods (nearly $300 million today) had passed through her Lower East Side shop. Called “the nucleus and center of the whole organization of crime,” she planned robberies of cash, gold and diamonds throughout the country. But Mrs. Mandelbaum wasn’t just a successful crook: She was a business visionary—one of the first entrepreneurs in America to systemize the scattershot enterprise of property crime. Handpicking a cadre of the finest bank robbers, housebreakers and shoplifters, she handled logistics and organized supply chains—turning theft into a viable, scalable business. The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum paints a vivid portrait of Gilded Age New York—a city teeming with nefarious rogues, capitalist power brokers and Tammany Hall bigwigs, all straddling the line between underworld enterprise and “legitimate” commerce. Combining deep historical research with the narrative flair for which she is celebrated, Margalit Fox tells the unforgettable true story of a once-famous heroine whose life exemplifies America’s cherished rags-to-riches narrative while simultaneously upending it entirely.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721846Tue, 02 Jul 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721846 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon, The Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York Author: Anthony M. DeStefano Narrator: Romy Nordlinger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 42 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Indiana-born Vivian Gordon fluttered to New York in 1920 looking for fame and fortune. Before long, the flame-haired chorus girl parlayed her youth, beauty, and ambition into more profitable means as a tough and glamorous symbol of Prohibition-era excess. She was a speakeasy owner, blackmailer, high-end escort, extortionist, racketeer, and con woman. But given her dangerously intimate associations, Vivian was also a woman who knew too much and who rightfully feared for her life. On February 26, 1931, Vivian's bludgeoned and garroted body was found dumped in Van Cortland Park in the Bronx. Now, in the first in-depth biography of its kind, Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano unravels her tumultuous life and the headline-making murder that became an obsession for many. The evidence Vivian left behind was damning: a diary with more than three-hundred names implicating powerful officials, philanthropists, businessmen, and every major gangland figure in collusion and corruption. The investigation eventually resulted in the career-ending of James 'Jimmy' Walker, disgraced mayor of New York City. Broadway Butterfly finally finds a place in history for Vivian, a woman with a rare legacy in gangster lore, whose demise was as tragically inevitable as the brutality of the city's demimonde during Prohibition.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/751953Tue, 25 Jun 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/751953 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Above the Ground: A True Story of The Troubles in Northern Ireland Author: Dan Lawton Narrator: John Keating Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 47 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1978, the bloody conflict in Northern Ireland, known as The Troubles, had reached a boiling point. Hundreds of members of the Irish Republican Army, determined to drive the hated British out of the province—killing soldiers and police, detonating bombs, while arming themselves with firearms and explosives—had been arrested and incarcerated in the notorious British prison known as the Maze. On Sunday, November 26, 1978, two IRA gunmen kicked in the front door at 8 Evelyn Gardens in Belfast—the home of Maze prison official Albert Miles. They executed Miles in front of his horrified family and vanished into the night. In 1983, at the end of the longest and most-publicized trial in the country's history, twenty-four-year-old Catholic taxicab driver Kevin Barry Artt was convicted and sentenced to life for Miles's murder. On his way to the Maze, in manacles and still professing his innocence, Artt prayed for an opportunity to escape. Six weeks later, his prayers were answered—he made a daring and dramatic escape from the Maze, fleeing to California and going underground.

There's an old saying: 'a rising tide lifts all boats'. It's normally couched in positive terms; that overall economic improvement will benefit everyone. In the case of hi-tech money laundering, however, it offers a dark vision of the future. The better these launderers become at their work, the more crime of all types will be enabled. It's time to understand where the water is rising, before it washes over us all. Money laundering has been around for centuries. For as long as people have been stealing money, there's been an industry ready to wash it. But recent tech innovations have created vastly complex new systems for laundering that threaten to overwhelm authorities, destabilise economies and disrupt societies. Ranging from the flamboyant luxury of Dubai hotels to quiet coastal Ireland, from the UK to Nigeria and from Indonesia to North Korea, Rinsed is a truly global relevatory investigation into the new army of innovative launderers ... and the consequences for all of us. ©2024 Geoff White (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/758856Thu, 13 Jun 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/758856 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Ring of Thoth Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Narrator: Edward E. French Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 45 minutes Release date: June 2, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The Ring of Thoth is a tale of Fantasy, mystery, the supernatural and horror by the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Author Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Doyles were a prosperous Irish-Catholic family, who had a prominent position in the world of Art. Charles Altamont Doyle, Arthur's father, a chronic alcoholic, was the only member of his family, who apart from fathering a brilliant son, never accomplished anything of note. Charles had married Mary Foley, a vivacious and very well-educated young woman of seventeen. Mary had a passion for books and was a master storyteller. Her son Arthur wrote of his mother's gift of 'sinking her voice to a horror-stricken whisper' when she reached the culminating point of a story. There was little money in the family and even less harmony on account of his father's excesses and erratic behavior After Arthur reached his ninth birthday, the wealthy members of the Doyle family offered to pay for his studies. He was in tears all the way to England, where for seven years he had to go to a Jesuit boarding school. It was during these difficult years at boarding school that Arthur realized he also had a talent for storytelling. He was often found, surrounded by a bevy of totally enraptured younger students, listening to the amazing stories he would make up to amuse them. Doyle died on July 7th, 1930, from heart disease. Besides the Sherlock Holmes stories, his other publications include non-fiction, plays, verse, memoirs, short stories, and several historical novels and supernatural and speculative fiction. The Lost World is perhaps the best known of his other fictional works. .]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/791171Sun, 02 Jun 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/791171 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Las celdas rosas Author: Sylvia Arvizu Narrator: Sylvia Arvizu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 42 minutes Release date: May 31, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Hay dos formas fáciles de afrontar la vida de las mujeres en prisión en nuestro país y los motivos que las llevaron allí: una es pasarla por alto y la otra es convertirla en un valle de lágrimas. El mérito de Sylvia Arvizu ha sido encontrar una tercera opción. La más ética y estética posible. La de reintegrarle su carácter humano. Reseña en Playboy El Rayalibros: Las celdas rosas, un testimonio carcelario Por: Adán Medellín 24 de mayo de 2019 'Me rehúso a pensar que quienes cumplimos una condena en prisión, estamos aquí por el solo hecho delictivo, por un error, por una mala decisión. Creo firmemente en una serie de sucesos y factores que influyen en la vida del ser humano y por consecuencia llegamos al cuadro. A encararnos frente a la barda beige, a toparnos con un portón que nos impide mirar la calle y respirar el aire de afuera.' He leído en una sola sentada, pero con distintas pausas para darme un respiro, las crónicas de 'Las celdas rosas' en que la comunicóloga Sylvia Arvizu (Hermosillo, 1978) narra la vida cotidiana de ella y otras internas en un penal en Sonora. Con una prosa directa, sencilla, dura, Arvizu (quien ha ganado distintos premios literarios interpenitenciarios) cuenta en breves trazos el mosaico de vidas femeninas que confluyen en esta cárcel de México. Son historias de violencia, de incomprensión, de consumo de crystal, de reincidencias o de separaciones familiares; pero que también hallan toques de esperanza en el arte, en la escritura, en la sonrisa de un hijo, en la posibilidad de sobrevivir y añorar la libertad en un sistema de justicia en que prevalece la injusticia. El libro de Arvizu mueve porque nos relata los claroscuros de la existencia de las mujeres en prisión. Puede narrar golpizas entre reclusas ordenadas por un poder oscuro, pero también proyectos comunes de amor y solidaridad entre las internas. Empática, pero no complaciente, Arvizu retrata errores, confusiones y malentendidos que llevaron a distintas de sus compañeras a la cárcel; al tiempo que muestra vidas que no dejan de torcerse y volver al penal porque no conocen otro modo de supervivencia. Toda esta narrativa se enmarca en su propia lucha por conseguir la libertad anticipada apoyada en sus méritos literarios y su comportamiento, que le ha sido negada continuamente luego de ser condenada a 19 años y 11 meses de prisión por haber rociado ácido en la cara de su ex pareja. Arvizu ya ha cumplido 12 años de su condena; la misma edad de su hija Sylvana, cuya mención de que pinten las celdas de las reclusas de color rosa (en vez del monótono beige) para hacerlas pensar que están en un lugar diferente le da al libro su emotivo título. Ahí donde las vidas se quiebran, la literatura es un espacio de reconocimiento, afirmación y redención personal que permite continuar día a día. Vaya lectura tremenda para abrir los ojos a un país que tantas veces preferimos no mirar.

The narrative is full of appearances from the couple's colorful acquaintances, including the World's Only Living Half Girl, Midget Man, and the Human Blockhead. During Mary Teresa's dramatic trial, Rosen becomes a character in his own book. When both he and the prosecution are threatened by Mary Teresa's daughter, who Rosen believes was a coconspirator although she was never indicted, the writer risks his life in pursuit of the truth and the evidence that leads to Mary Teresa's conviction.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/modern-slave-a-vulnerable-girl-a-gang-of-vicious-men-a-shocking-true-story-of-survival-by-gaia-cooper--65273904https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722430 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Art of the Steal: How to Protect Yourself and Your Business from Fraud, America's #1 Crime Author: Frank W. Abagnale Narrator: Barrett Whitener Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The world--famous former con artist and bestselling author of Catch Me if You Can now reveals the mind--boggling tricks of the scam trade--with advice that has made him one of America's most sought--after fraud--prevention experts. "I had as much knowledge as any man alive concerning the mechanics of forgery, check swindling, counterfeiting, and other similar crimes. Ever since I'd been released from prison, I'd often felt that if I directed this knowledge into the right channels, I could help people a great deal. Every time I went to the store and wrote a check, I would see two or three mistakes made on the part of the clerk or cashier, mistakes that a flimflam artist would take advantage of. . . . In a certain sense, I'm still a con artist. I'm just putting down a positive con these days, as opposed to the negative con I used in the past. I've merely redirected the talents I've always possessed. I've applied the same relentless attention to working on stopping fraud that I once applied to perpetuating fraud." In Catch Me if You Can, Frank W. Abagnale recounted his youthful career as a master imposter and forger. In The Art of the Steal, Abagnale tells the remarkable story of how he parlayed his knowledge of cons and scams into a successful career as a consultant on preventing financial foul play--while showing you how to identify and outsmart perpetrators of fraud. Technology may have made it easier to track down criminals, but cyberspace has spawned a skyrocketing number of ways to commit crime--much of it untraceable. Businesses are estimated to lose an unprecedented $400 billion a year from fraud of one sort or another. If we were able to do away with fraud for just two years, we'd erase the national debt and pay Social Security for the next one hundred years. However, Abagnale has discovered that punishment for committing fraud, much less recovery of stolen funds, seldom happens: Once you're a victim, you won't get your money back. Prevention is the best form of protection. Drawn from his twenty-five years of experience as an ingenious con artist (whose check scams alone mounted to more than $2 million in stolen funds), Abagnale's The Art of the Steal provides eye-opening stories of true scams, with tips on how they can be prevented. Abagnale takes you deep inside the world and mind of the con artist, showing you just how he pulled off his scams and what you can do to avoid becoming the next victim. You'll hear the stories of notorious swindles, like the mustard squirter trick and the "rock in the box" ploy, and meet the criminals like the famous Vickers Gang who perpetrated them. You'll find out why crooks wash checks and iron credit cards and why a thief brings glue with him to the ATM. And finally, you'll learn how to recognize a bogus check or a counterfeit bill, and why you shouldn't write your grocery list on a deposit slip.

Ante el peligro del uso político de la historia de este magnicidio, es un buen momento para recordar lo que sabemos a ciencia cierta de lo que pasó. Esta reedición corregida y aumentada de La tragedia de Colosio, de Héctor Aguilar Camín, publicado originalmente en 2004, es un ejercicio en ese camino: recordar lo que sabemos con base en los hechos, aunque no responda a todas nuestras preguntas, ni despeje todas nuestras dudas.

Title: The Devil to Pay: A Mobster’s Road to Perdition Author: Sean Scott Hicks Narrator: Keith Szarabajka Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 16, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Goodfellas meets the Irish mob in The Devil to Pay, the incredible true story of one man’s unconventional upbringing in the criminal gangs of Boston and his eventual road to redemption. Growing up in South Boston, Sean Scott Hicks was running jobs for the Irish mob before his voice changed. Mistreated by his drug-addled mother, Hicks found sanctuary with his adoptive family of felonious uncles—known to law enforcement officials as the Winter Hill Gang. These crooks knew where all the bodies were buried—because they’d done the burying—but they also looked out for young Sean. Even the notorious gangster known worldwide as Whitey Bulger was simply “Uncle Jim” to him. After such an upbringing, a life of crime was a given. In this unprecedented memoir, Hicks talks about everything from his experience running illegal goods up and down the coast of Massachusetts to his theory about what really happened the night three hundred million dollars’ worth of art went missing from Boston’s Isabella Gardner Museum. Terms like money laundering and assault insufficiently describe his daily tasks, a brash existence that alternated with stints behind bars. This knuckles-close look at mobster life chronicles the greed and avarice, tenderness and brutality, and the reckoning all gangsters must eventually face. Hicks tells a story of blood and vengeance but also—surprisingly—of hope. The Devil to Pay: A Mobster’s Road to Perdition is an extraordinary memoir that illuminates the reality of what it’s really like in the dark, dangerous, and insidious places of the world, and what it takes to bring a person there and back again.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/769481Tue, 16 Apr 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/769481 to listen full audiobooks.

Sinking hospital ships violated international law. To conceal his actions, the U-86 commander had the submarine deck guns fire on survivors. One lifeboat escaped with witnesses to the atrocity. Global outrage over the attack ensued. The sinking of the Llandovery Castle was adjudicated at the Leipzig War Crimes Trials, an attempt to establish justice after hostilities ceased. The Llandovery Castle case resulted in a historic legal precedent that guided subsequent war crime prosecutions, including the Nuremberg Trials. Atrocity on the Atlantic explores the Llandovery Castle sinking, the people impacted by the attack, and the reasons why this wartime atrocity was largely forgotten.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/751965Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/751965 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Killing Time with John Wayne Gacy: Defending America's Most Evil Serial Killer on Death Row Author: Karen Conti Narrator: Karen Conti Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 14 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: John Wayne Gacy raped, tortured, and murdered 33 boys and young men, burying most of them in the crawlspace under his Chicago home. Karen Conti was in high school at the time watching the bodies being removed on the television news. Fourteen years pass. Through a twist of fate, Conti, now a young and inexperienced attorney, is called upon to handle Gacy’s final death row appeals. The serial killer soon becomes her most famous, difficult, and haunting client. Thirty years after Gacy’s execution, Conti looks back through the eyes of a seasoned professional on the legal and media circus that ensued—and her countless hours of detailed conversation with the killer clown. We hear for the first time about Gacy’s gruesome “Body Book.” Were there more victims? Conspirators involved in the murders? What secrets were buried with him? If one were to ask Conti “How could you represent such a monster?,” she would respond “What you really want to know is, ‘What was he like?’” This book answers that question.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/757648Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/757648 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Tor: El fuego que no se apaga Author: Carles Porta Narrator: Aleix Peña Miralles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 35 minutes Release date: April 4, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Cien años de odio desembocan en tres asesinatos en una aldea de trece casas. LA HISTORIA DE UNA OBSESIÓN: ¿QUIÉN MATÓ A SANSA? Porel creador de ¿Por qué matamos?, Crims/Crímenes y Luz en la oscuridad. Tor es el pueblo más alto del Pirineo, justo en la frontera con Andorra, un territorio extremo que muchos consideran el Far West catalán. Ha sido zona habitual de contrabando. Fue lugar de paso para republicanos que huían de Franco y para judíos que huían de los nazis. Allí se produjo también una batalla entre maquis comunistas y guardias civiles. Pero sobre todo es un pueblo donde el odio entre sus habitantes arraigó durante cien años. En 1896, las trece familias de Tor registraron a su nombre una montaña de 4.800 hectáreas e impusieron una cláusula para conservar la propiedad: tener casa abierta todo el año o, lo que es lo mismo, que cada vecino mantuviese el fuego del hogar siempre encendido. A finales del siglo XIX eso era fácil, en el siglo XX la cosa ya se complicó: ¿quién quiere vivir en una aldea sin luz, agua corriente ni cobertura de móvil? Después de varios episodios violentos y décadas de pleitos, en 1995 un juez sentenció que toda la montaña pertenecía a un único vecino: Sansa. A los cinco meses fue asesinado. Carles Porta inició hace casi treinta años una investigación sobre ese crimen no resuelto, un caso que, como una pasión íntima, lo ha acompañado durante media vida. Ahora expone, por fin, todos sus descubrimientos en un relato excepcional, nunca antes revelado. Su mirada nos descubre a Tor como un escenario mítico que es a la vez metáfora de la historia de la humanidad. «Me atrevería a decir que esta es «mi» historia, y la más fiel a lo que considero que pasó en Tor». Carles Porta La crítica ha dicho sobre Tor. El fuego que no se apaga: «La nueva versión de la historia más tenebrosa de Carles Porta». Gina Capell, El Nacional La crítica ha dicho sobre Crímenes. Pecados capitales: «El fenómeno Crímenes no tiene límites y ha convertido a Carles Porta en un icono pop: su forma de abordar un tema tan delicado como los crímenes, rigiéndose siempre por el principio de las tres erres -rigor informativo, respeto y ritmo narrativo-, busca evitar el amarillismo y no generar más morbo». El Periódico La crítica ha dicho sobre Crímenes. Diez casos reales: «Su especialidad literaria: contarnos extraordinarias historias de crimen y trabajo policial mientras nos mantiene en vilo hasta la última línea». La Razón La crítica ha dicho sobre Crímenes. Siete historias de oscuridad: «Carles Porta se ha convertido en el mejor periodista de investigación judicial sin aplicar ni un ápice de sensacionalismos a su trabajo». Zenda La crítica ha dicho sobre La Farmacéutica: «Se lee todo del tirón y uno no da crédito a que sucediera de verdad. [...] Crónica definitiva de aquel secuestro, es un libro de lectura muy dinámica». El Mundo «Este libro pone orden y claridad a los acontecimientos: Porta narra con dinamismo y rellena todos los agujeros con tal de revertir los malentendidos que circulan en la esfera pública».

Like Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief, the King was so bold that he tip-toed into the homes of millionaires while they were home, hiding in their closets and daring to smoke while they were sleeping. Rena Pederson, then a young reporter with UPI, started following the elusive thief while she managed the night desk. With gymnastic skill, he climbed trees and crawled across rooftops to take jewels from heiresses, oil kings, corporate CEOs—some of the richest people of their time. Scotland Yard and Interpol were on the look-out, but the thief was never caught nor the jewels recovered. To follow the tracks of the thief, Rena has interviewed more than two hundred people, from cops to strippers. She went to pawn shops, Las Vegas casinos, and a Mafia hangout—and discovered that beneath the glittering façade of Dallas debutante parties was a world of sex trafficking, illegal gambling, and political graft. When one of the leading suspects was found dead in highly unusual circumstances, the story darkened. High society crashed head-first into Mickey Spillane. The odd psychological aspects of the The King of Diamonds give us a different kind of crime story. Detectives were stumped: Why did the thief break into houses when his targets were inside, increasing the risk of being captured?

Title: [Spanish] - La ciudad de los vivos Author: Nicola Lagioia Narrator: Luis David García Márquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 27 minutes Release date: March 28, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: La historia real del homicidio que conmocionó Italia. Un retrato despiadado del lado oscuro de Roma «Una historia salvaje y monumental, de las mejores que leí en mi vida». Manuel Jabois «El temblor de lo que sucede y de lo que no sucede, de lo que llega sin aviso y ya es irreparable y no termina nunca». Antonio Muñoz Molina, Babelia En marzo de 2016, en un apartamento situado a las afueras de Roma, dos jóvenes de buena familia se pasaron varios días de fiesta, poniéndose hasta arriba de cocaína, pastillas y alcohol. Decidieron invitar a alguien y tras llamar a varios amigos que no podían o no contestaban, dieron con Luca Varani, un chico al que apenas conocían. Le ofrecieron drogas y dinero a cambio de sexo. Se divirtieron hasta que empezaron a torturarle y terminaron asesinándolo a cuchillazos y golpes de martillo. Tenía 23 años, era hijo de una familia humilde de la periferia, un buen chaval que se buscaba la vida como podía. Nadie entendió por qué lo hicieron, no hubo respuestas para tanto horror. Desde la cárcel uno de los asesinos dijo que «querían saber que se sentía al matar a alguien». Tenían 28 y 29 años: Manuel Foffo, proveniente de una familia de comerciantes, y Marco Prato, un conocido relaciones públicas de la noche gay romana, hijo de un profesor universitario. El escritor Nicola Lagioia se obsesionó con el caso. Acababa de recibir el Premio Strega por su anterior novela, el premio más importante de Italia, y dedicó cuatro años de su vida a esta historia. Habló con todos los implicados, con los amigos y familiares de los tres chicos, accedió a la investigación y al juicio y llegó a cartearse con uno de los culpables. Se sumergió en lo más oscuro de la noche romana y se adentró en la inaccesible burguesía romana. El resultado es una crónica literaria mayúscula: una investigación sobre la naturaleza humana bajo el silencio de las calles vacías de la ciudad eterna. Críticas: «Hacía tiempo que no disfrutaba tanto de un libro. Qué barbaridad». Laura Ferrero «Colosal y perturbadora, con mimbres de Truman Capote y Emmanuel Carrère». Daniel Verdú, El País «Convertir el dolor en literatura y reflejar su amplísima dimensión […] esun objetivo que La ciudad de los vivos cumplecon creces. […] Una de las mejores crónicas criminales de todos los tiempos». Marina Sanmartín, ABC «Odio las frases de faja, pero este libro es formidable». Enric González «Hacía mucho que una novela no me llenaba tanto como escritor y lector. La ciudad de los vivos es un puñetazo en toda la línea de flotación de nuestra época, la define, la desmenuza y como todo gran libro trasciende su propia intención hasta rebasar su apariencia». Jordi Corominas «Una obra que va de Capote a Carrère y Cercas. Lagioia lo hace como lo hace la mejor literatura. Nos muestra que el límite sobre el que se mueven los protagonistas —inmersos en el gran misterio y esplendor de Roma— es el límite del mundo, el mismo sobre el que andamos todos cada día». Domenico Starnone «La gran habilidad de Lagioia radica en la capacidad de enganchar al lector, arrastrándolo en un viaje minucioso, en el que nada se pasa por alto. […] Logra explicar un imposible desafiando el teatro del absurdo, poniendo las manosen la vida de los demás, pasando por él mismo; ha venido a reconstruir lo inimaginable».

Title: [Spanish] - La ciudad de los vivos Author: Nicola Lagioia Narrator: Luis David García Márquez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 27 minutes Release date: March 28, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: La historia real del homicidio que conmocionó Italia. Un retrato despiadado del lado oscuro de Roma «Una historia salvaje y monumental, de las mejores que leí en mi vida». Manuel Jabois «El temblor de lo que sucede y de lo que no sucede, de lo que llega sin aviso y ya es irreparable y no termina nunca». Antonio Muñoz Molina, Babelia En marzo de 2016, en un apartamento situado a las afueras de Roma, dos jóvenes de buena familia se pasaron varios días de fiesta, poniéndose hasta arriba de cocaína, pastillas y alcohol. Decidieron invitar a alguien y tras llamar a varios amigos que no podían o no contestaban, dieron con Luca Varani, un chico al que apenas conocían. Le ofrecieron drogas y dinero a cambio de sexo. Se divirtieron hasta que empezaron a torturarle y terminaron asesinándolo a cuchillazos y golpes de martillo. Tenía 23 años, era hijo de una familia humilde de la periferia, un buen chaval que se buscaba la vida como podía. Nadie entendió por qué lo hicieron, no hubo respuestas para tanto horror. Desde la cárcel uno de los asesinos dijo que «querían saber que se sentía al matar a alguien». Tenían 28 y 29 años: Manuel Foffo, proveniente de una familia de comerciantes, y Marco Prato, un conocido relaciones públicas de la noche gay romana, hijo de un profesor universitario. El escritor Nicola Lagioia se obsesionó con el caso. Acababa de recibir el Premio Strega por su anterior novela, el premio más importante de Italia, y dedicó cuatro años de su vida a esta historia. Habló con todos los implicados, con los amigos y familiares de los tres chicos, accedió a la investigación y al juicio y llegó a cartearse con uno de los culpables. Se sumergió en lo más oscuro de la noche romana y se adentró en la inaccesible burguesía romana. El resultado es una crónica literaria mayúscula: una investigación sobre la naturaleza humana bajo el silencio de las calles vacías de la ciudad eterna. Críticas: «Hacía tiempo que no disfrutaba tanto de un libro. Qué barbaridad». Laura Ferrero «Colosal y perturbadora, con mimbres de Truman Capote y Emmanuel Carrère». Daniel Verdú, El País «Convertir el dolor en literatura y reflejar su amplísima dimensión […] esun objetivo que La ciudad de los vivos cumplecon creces. […] Una de las mejores crónicas criminales de todos los tiempos». Marina Sanmartín, ABC «Odio las frases de faja, pero este libro es formidable». Enric González «Hacía mucho que una novela no me llenaba tanto como escritor y lector. La ciudad de los vivos es un puñetazo en toda la línea de flotación de nuestra época, la define, la desmenuza y como todo gran libro trasciende su propia intención hasta rebasar su apariencia». Jordi Corominas «Una obra que va de Capote a Carrère y Cercas. Lagioia lo hace como lo hace la mejor literatura. Nos muestra que el límite sobre el que se mueven los protagonistas —inmersos en el gran misterio y esplendor de Roma— es el límite del mundo, el mismo sobre el que andamos todos cada día».

When Mark Kilroy vanished while on spring break in Matamoros, Mexico, the search for the missing pre-med student led to a gruesome discovery on a lonely stretch of land called Rancho Santa Elena: a mass grave containing Mark's mutilated corpse along with the remains of thirteen other people. The investigation uncovered how the victims were brutally killed at the hands of drug trafficker and cult leader Adolpho Constanzo, known by his followers as El Padrino, or The Godfather. Constanzo was a serial killer who, along with his followers, tortured and cannibalized innocent people in the barbaric religious ritual of human sacrifice.

Forcelli Narrator: Todd Mclaren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Pete Forcelli was a highly respected federal agent in New York City, where he made an impact on violent crime by successfully targeting some of the city's most violent street gangs by using federal racketeering and continuing criminal enterprise statutes in conjunction with federal prosecutors. In early 2007, he was promoted to a supervisory position in Phoenix and quickly discovered that federal prosecutors were not charging criminals for violating federal firearms laws, even in instances where they knew guns were being trafficked to ultra-violent drug cartels. When those very same prosecutors spoke about possibly indicting John Dodson, a special agent who blew the whistle on Operation Fast and Furious, Forcelli stepped forward and contacted Congress. Forcelli became a whistleblower himself, detailing how federal prosecutors in Arizona not only failed to prosecute gun traffickers, but allowed a man who was making hundreds of hand grenades for the Sinaloa Cartel to continue his operations unabated for years. At that moment, those prosecutors and officials from the Department of Justice came after him, leading to a nearly four-year battle for Forcelli to clear his name.

I am a victim of murder. Through a series of events and by two shots of a gun, I was made a widow at the age of 28, with my youngest child just six weeks old. I am a victim of infidelity. I have felt unlovable. I have felt rejected. I have had days in my life when I wasn’t sure if I would ever take a breath again, let alone be able to raise my five children by myself. I have lived in fear. I have felt much heartache. I have felt truly broken to my core. I have carried some heavy burdens...not only of my own, but burdens put upon my shoulders by the death of my husband. I have felt alone. I have felt humiliated. I have been humbled to my knees. I have searched my soul to find my worth in this world, and in the life that was left for me. My world has been totally shattered. I have faced realities I never knew were possible, and found strength within myself to keep up the fight and live every day as if it was on purpose. I have been carried by Angels...both earthly beings and those unseen. I have found that being a “victim” doesn’t mean we have an excuse to stop living. Being a victim means finding a reason for seeking a higher road. I have picked up the pieces left and carried on. I am a mother. We are survivors. In one way or another, we are all victims. There are times in our lives when we are forced to question who we are at our core. This is my story...the defining moments that have truly brought me to my knees, the times when I’ve questioned to my core my very existence, and the experiences I’ve had that have shown me who I really am and who my Heavenly Father still needs me to become. The night of my husband’s death was my darkest hour, but also the very moment when I saw firsthand that my Heavenly Father sent Angels on errands for me. He carried me.

En este audiolibro nos embarcaremos en un viaje inquietante a través de ocho crímenes, cada cual más terrible, con los que os mostraré y reflexionaré sobre la maldad y cómo puede infiltrarse en los sitios menos esperados. Indagaré dentro de las mentes enfermas de asesinos, psicópatas, ególatras y monstruos, revelando, desde una perspectiva psicológica y científica, cuáles fueron sus motivaciones y más oscuros secretos que los llevaron a cometer estos crímenes imperdonables. Y nos haremos preguntas incómodas y no siempre fáciles de responder: ¿Cómo es posible que personas con vidas aparentemente normales puedan infligir tanto dolor, incluso a sus seres queridos? ¿El mal existe realmente o es un intento de darle nombre a las sombras más oscuras de nuestras almas? ¿Podríamos llegar a cometer los actos más viles si nuestras vidas hubieran sido diferentes?

Gene and Sandy Ralston, a married Idaho couple in their mid 70s, are self-taught underwater search-and-recovery specialists who volunteer their time and equipment. And yet the Ralstons are counted among the best in the world. The Ralstons have an uncanny knack for finding bodies in deep water and can regularly find a missing person within hours, sometimes even minutes, of launching their boat. Law enforcement and emergency response agencies seek out their peculiar expertise, but when the Ralstons' home phone rings it's usually a family member of a missing person. Someone reaching out after the local police and volunteer groups have called off the official search.

Everywhere, the powerful are making a renewed claim to the greatest prize of all: to own the truth. The power to choose what you want reality to be and impose that reality on the world. For three years, Tom Burgis followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland – the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators and the west’s ruling elites. And he found one man who wanted the power to bend reality to his will. This book tells an astonishing story: a tale of secrets and lies that reveals how fragile that truth can be. Whether it’s in Kazakh torture chambers or the UK’s High Court, the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control of the truth. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know – and more importantly, what we are not.

The sun was shining as our crew drove the silver Mercedes to meet the pilot of the Cessna Citation II jet taxiing toward us on the tarmac of the executive airfield in Florida.Something seemed off, but it was too late for the four of us to abort the mission.We were committed.The door of the plane opened, and off stepped the pilot I’d met with two days earlier at a Kansas City hotel room. He had agreed, for a price, to deliver a jet that was on our laundry list of planes we were stealing from the United States and delivering to the Colombians in South America.This was our second plane in a month. The pick-up place was Boca Raton, and the delivery location, Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, where the plane would be repainted in a hanger, data plates changed, and then used in the cocaine trafficking world by the Cali Cartel.Later, I would discover two things: Boca Raton is translated, Mouth of the Rat, and a big rat was among us.I pulled a bag filled with cash from our vehicle and stepped onto the plane to meet the pilot to hand over a partial payment. The rest would be delivered once the plane was safely in the air. My pilot entered behind me in preparation to take the captain’s seat.In a matter of seconds, 20+ federal agents descended on us from all four sides, in unmarked vehicles and running on foot, all with weapons.The next thing I knew, a chrome 45 caliber pistol was pointed in my face while the agent was yelling, “Get your hands up, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!”Everything was happening so fast. My head was spinning.

The sun was shining as our crew drove the silver Mercedes to meet the pilot of the Cessna Citation II jet taxiing toward us on the tarmac of the executive airfield in Florida.Something seemed off, but it was too late for the four of us to abort the mission.We were committed.The door of the plane opened, and off stepped the pilot I’d met with two days earlier at a Kansas City hotel room. He had agreed, for a price, to deliver a jet that was on our laundry list of planes we were stealing from the United States and delivering to the Colombians in South America.This was our second plane in a month. The pick-up place was Boca Raton, and the delivery location, Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, where the plane would be repainted in a hanger, data plates changed, and then used in the cocaine trafficking world by the Cali Cartel.Later, I would discover two things: Boca Raton is translated, Mouth of the Rat, and a big rat was among us.I pulled a bag filled with cash from our vehicle and stepped onto the plane to meet the pilot to hand over a partial payment. The rest would be delivered once the plane was safely in the air. My pilot entered behind me in preparation to take the captain’s seat.In a matter of seconds, 20+ federal agents descended on us from all four sides, in unmarked vehicles and running on foot, all with weapons.The next thing I knew, a chrome 45 caliber pistol was pointed in my face while the agent was yelling, “Get your hands up, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!”Everything was happening so fast. My head was spinning. My hands automatically went up in the air to display the international sign of surrender.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/burners-black-markets-by-lance-henderson--65273855https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/761154 to listen full audiobooks.

A dead woman was found in Alvin Ridley's house—and even more shockingly, she was the wife no one knew he had. McCracken Poston had been a state representative before he lost his bid for US Congress and returned to his law career. Alvin Ridley was a local character who once sold and serviced Zenith televisions. Though reclusive and an outsider, the 'Zenith Man,' as Poston knew him, hardly seemed capable of murder. Alvin was a difficult client, storing evidence in a cockroach-infested suitcase, unwilling to reveal key facts to his defender. Calling on medical experts, testimony from Alvin himself, and a wealth of surprising evidence gleaned from Alvin's house, Poston presented a groundbreaking defense that allowed Alvin to return to his peculiar lifestyle, a free man. Years after his trial, Alvin was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, a revelation that sheds light on much of his lifelong personal battle.

When a prominent Alabama doctor is brutally killed, his wife and her twin sister are charged with conspiracy to murder. But while her twin was acquitted of the crime, Betty Wilson was charged with killing her husband.

No other woman has had so many online romances – from Keanu Reeves to Brad Pitt to Prince William – and Becky Holmes is a favourite among peacekeeping soldiers and oil rig workers who desperately need iTunes vouchers. By winding up scammers and investigating the truth behind their profiles, Becky shines a revealing, revolting and hilarious light on a very shady corner of the internet.

Her body turned up the next morning in a desolate Bronx park, a dirty clothesline wrapped around her neck. At her stylish Manhattan apartment, detectives discovered notebooks full of names—businessmen, socialites, gangsters. And something else—a letter from an anti-corruption commission established by Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Led by the imperious Judge Samuel Seabury, the commission had uncovered a police conspiracy to frame women as prostitutes. Had Vivian Gordon been executed to bury her secrets? As FDR pressed the police to solve her murder, Judge Seabury pursued the trail of corruption to the top of Gotham’s powerful political machine—the infamous Tammany Hall.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724251Tue, 06 Feb 2024 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/724251 to listen full audiobooks.

I just never thought mine would lead me to be the victim of an actual trial—a murder trial. Almost two years after that gun sounded, there we were hearing every detail of how he died over, and over, and over again. I had waited so long for the trial to be the pinnacle of my healing.

Title: [German] - Hemmungslos: Ein Kriminalroman aus dem Jahr 1920 Author: Hugo Bettauer Narrator: Steffen Rössler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 27 minutes Release date: February 4, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Der erste Rand der großen Bettauer-Retrospektive Der politisch visionäre Roman von Hugo Bettauer veranschaulicht das Sittenbild der 1920er Jahre und wirft brandaktuelle Fragen nach Schuld und Sühne in Krisenzeiten auf. Desillusioniert und völlig verarmt kehrt der ehemalige Freiherr Kolomann von Isbaregg aus dem verlorenen Ersten Weltkrieg zurück und findet sich in der gesellschaftlichen Neuordnung nicht mehr zurecht: Weder seine adelige Herkunft noch seine militärischen Leistungen für die untergegangene k. und k Monarchie Österreich-Ungarn, sind noch einen Deut wert. Isbareggs einziges Kapital sind seine guten Manieren und sein attraktives Äußeres, mithilfe derer er die vornehme Wiener Gesellschaft hemmungslos täuscht, um auf deren Kosten ein standesgemäßes Leben zu führen. Betrug, Raub und Mord gehören fortan zum Alltag des gefallenen Adeligen, der trotz aller Zwiespältigkeit und vorsätzlicher Rohheit für kurze Momente einen letzten Funken sozialen Gewissens besitzt. In seinen destruktiven Beziehungen zu Frauen spiegelt sich die Zerrissenheit Isbareggs wider, Sieger über die Moral bleibt aber seine Gier nach Status und Reichtum. In seinem Kriminalroman HEMMUNGSLOS, einem Sittenbild der ersten Jahre der Zwischenkriegszeit, gelingt es Hugo Bettauer in grellen Bildern und gnadenlos überzeichneten Klischees die massiven, gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen nach Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs darzustellen: Seine Welt der 1920er Jahre ist schwer gezeichnet vom Aufeinandertreffen unterschiedlicher Gesellschaftsentwürfe, von feministischem Aufbegehren versus erzkonservativer Rollenbilder und einem zutiefst wienerischen Antisemitismus. HEMMUNGSLOS: Das Requiem einer untergegangenen Gesellschaft aus der Feder des Autors von Stadt ohne Juden.

Title: [Spanish] - Vida y muerte del cartel de Medellín Author: Carlos Lehder Narrator: Ezequiel Romero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 11 minutes Release date: February 1, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: El increíble relato de Carlos Lehder sobre su vida como narcotraficante y sobre la creación y la evolución del cartel de Medellín. CARLOS LEHDER es mundialmente famoso por haber sido uno de los fundadores y principales capos del cartel de Medellín, tal vez el más singular del grupo, y el primero de ellos en ser extraditado a los Estados Unidos, en 1987, luego de ser traicionado por Pablo Escobar Gaviria, su socio y cabecilla indiscutible del cartel. Lehder fue sentenciado a cadena perpetua y 135 años adicionales, que logró reducir por su colaboración en el juicio de Estados Unidos contra el dictador panameño Manuel Antonio Noriega. En el año 2020 fue liberado por su buen comporta miento, luego de haber cumplido 33 años de condena. Ya sin deudas con la justicia, Lehder cuenta en este libro el paso a paso de su vida en la delincuencia, desde que siendo todavía menor de edad vendía autos robados en Nueva York hasta la manera en que, desde su isla de las Bahamas, revolucionó para siempre el comercio ilegal de cocaína en el mundo, y explica finalmente cómo surgió, prosperó y cayó en desgracia el infame cartel de Medellín. Las personas y los hechos más representativos de esta historia inagotable cobran una nueva y sorprendente luz de uno de sus legendarios protagonistas. 'Este libro es ante todo la historia nunca antes contada de la más famosa, trascendental y quizás poderosa organización dedicada al tráfico de cocaína que haya existido. Todos los hechos que se cuentan aquí los viví en carne propia, como testigo presencial y protagonista de la mayoría. Tomé parte en todas las aventuras -algunas criminales y otras no- que se narran a lo largo del libro y que hoy componen el relato de una vida con errores -muchos, sin duda- y aciertos -quizás menos-, pero llena de intensidad'.

Dieses Buch taucht tief in die unerforschten Winkel des Verbrechens ein und bietet den Hörern eine Ansammlung von Fakten, die so bizarr sind, dass sie oft unglaublicher erscheinen als jede Fiktion. Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie erfahren von einem japanischen Einbrecher, der es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, Häuser nicht nur zu berauben, sondern sie auch blitzeblank zu hinterlassen. Oder wie wäre es mit dem faszinierenden Fall des 'Barefoot Bandits', der barfuß Einbrüche beging und Flugzeuge stahl, obwohl er keinerlei formelle Flugausbildung hatte? Und wer könnte den verblüffenden Diebstahl von Edvard Munchs 'Der Schrei' vergessen, einem der teuersten Kunstwerke, die jemals gestohlen wurden? 'Unnützes Wissen für Krimifans' präsentiert eine Reihe von Geschichten, die sowohl das Altbekannte als auch das Ungewöhnliche miteinander verbinden. Haben Sie sich jemals gefragt, welche Tattoos im kriminellen Untergrund eine besondere Bedeutung haben oder wie genau sich Verbrechen auf Mode und Popkultur ausgewirkt haben? Dieses Buch hat die Antworten. Die Leser werden auch von den unglaublichen Geschichten über berühmte Verbrecher-Outfits und ihre Hintergründe fasziniert sein. Oder von den ungewöhnlichen Rekorden im kriminellen Milieu, wie dem ältesten Bankräuber oder dem unglaublichen Tunnelausbruch aus einem mexikanischen Gefängnis. Mit einer Mischung aus makaberem Humor, tiefer Recherche und einer Leidenschaft für das Ungewöhnliche bringt 'Unnützes Wissen für Krimifans' die Welt des Verbrechens direkt zu Ihnen nach Hause. Es ist ein Muss für jeden, der sich für die kuriosen, dunklen und oft vergessenen Geschichten interessiert, die hinter einigen der berühmtesten – und berüchtigtsten – Verbrechen der Geschichte stehen. Ob Sie ein eingefleischter Krimifan oder nur jemand sind, der nach einer guten Geschichte sucht, um auf der nächsten Party zu beeindrucken, dieses Buch wird Sie nicht enttäuschen. Es ist nicht nur ein einfacher Leitfaden, sondern auch ein Zeugnis dafür, wie seltsam, faszinierend und absolut unerwartet das wahre Verbrechen manchmal sein kann.

I am a father who has no idea what has happened to his child. The questions run through my mind all day long. They keep me awake at night. Is she dead? Is she alive? Is she being held captive somewhere? Are they hurting her? Is she crying out for me? These are the impassioned words of Dave Holloway, father of Natalee Holloway, whose disappearance in Aruba sparked a media frenzy and an international scandal in 2005. This is the heart-wrenching story of his search, the most complete account of Natalee Holloway's disappearance in Aruba. During a then ongoing investigation, Holloway discloses: - behind-the-scenes details of the investigation - new revelations about the corruption of the Aruban law enforcement - and the countless trails leading to possible rape, murder, and even sexual slavery    This is the first insider's account of one of this century’s most disturbing and mysterious true crime stories. Holloway relates the horror of personally searching through crack houses and trash dumps for Natalee––working alone, with authorities, even with psychics––while enduring the stonewalling of Aruban officials.

On a spring afternoon in 1985 in Gary, Indiana, a fifteen-year-old black girl kills a white elderly bible teacher in a violent home invasion. In a city with a history of racial tension the press swoops in. When Paula is sentenced to death, no one decries the impending execution of a tenth grader. But the tide begins to shift when the victim's grandson Bill forgives the girl, against the wishes of his family, and campaigns to spare her life. This tragedy in a midwestern steel town soon reverberates across the United States and around the world - reaching as far away as the Vatican - as newspapers cover the story on their front pages and millions sign petitions in support of Paula. As Paula waits on death row, her fate sparks a debate that not only animates legal circles but raises vital questions about the value of human life. This story asks us to consider what radical acts of empathy we might be capable of. “An absorbing work of social history and a story about the mystery and miracle of forgiveness.

One of Ireland's most infamous criminals and drug lords, and widely believed in the court of public opinion to have ordered the cold-blooded murder of crime reporter Veronica Guerin, he remains a defiant figure. In this remarkable book—the first of its kind—journalist Jason O'Toole distills hours of sensational face-to-face, no-holds-barred interviews with the feared criminal into a fast-paced and jaw-dropping account of the Irish gangland scene. And Gilligan doesn't mince his words. ‘I didn't believe in God, but I know I'm going to hell.' Starting out as a petty thief in Dublin, Gilligan rose to the status of crime lord earning £10 million from drugs within his first two years. He mixed with ‘the General' Martin Cahill, with Gerry ‘The Monk' Hutch and with John Traynor. He was deeply involved with money laundering, miraculously survived an assassination attempt, and it is said he has millions of euro stashed away at a secret location, for future use. O'Toole demands answers from Gilligan for all the hard questions; some of his responses will make readers shiver.

Five decades later, no trace of the children has ever been found. Over the years, several individuals have been put forward and investigated as suspects, resulting in false leads and dead ends and with no real suspect until now: Harry Phipps. On the surface, he was a gentleman: generous, charismatic, and intelligent-a person of wealth and influence in the community. However, a dramatically different person resided behind the walls of his Glenelg mansion, located a mere 190 metres in direct sight of Colley Reserve. In Unmasking the Killer, author Stuart Mullins (The Satin Man: Uncovering the Mystery of the Missing Beaumont Children (co-author), Joe Bugner: My Story (author)) and former South Australian police detective Bill Hayes expose Harry Phipps as the prime suspect in the abduction, disappearance, and likely murder of the Beaumont children. Over ten pieces of circumstantial evidence linking Phipps to the Beaumont abduction are explored in detail, supported by geographic and predator profiling chapters, which detail how these monsters operate. The authors explore a potential link to the 1973 Adelaide Oval abduction of Kirste Gordon and Joanne Ratcliffe and reveal conversations with Haydn Phipps, the eldest son of Harry and a possible eyewitness to events on that fateful day.

Thomas Narrator: Michael Carmen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 42 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Historic True Crime The long forgotten true story of two convict 'assigned' servant girls, Sarah 18 y/o & Mary 20 y/o, tried in colonial Australia for the murder of their “master”. All the people are real. All court testimonies are real. The blatant unfairness of the trial was also very true. The deceased, Captain Waldron, was a retired army Captain, then gentleman farmer and magistrate. The police investigator, Capt. Allman, was Capt. Waldron's friend, also an ex-army officer from the same regiment and a fellow magistrate. The judge, Burton, was ex-navy. There was no inquest, autopsy or death certificate. There were no marks or bruises on the head of the deceased . The witnesses except for the widow and her 12-year-old son saw no punches, allegedly the cause of death. The attending doctor did not arrive in time to give evidence. Hearsay evidence was admitted. There were no witnesses for the defence. The defence counsel, Rowe, was soon after struck off for pocketing witness expenses. The defendants were not allowed to testify. The jury was seven serving military men and took just 15 minutes deliberation before the verdict. The handwritten transcript of the trial was only recently uncovered. The media of the day called it the most sensational trial Australia had ever had. The verdict caused near riots on the streets of Sydney. The police contingent guarding the girls had to be reinforced. The trial led to such outrage that the government had to intervene. The government referred the case to the King. Three years later the British House of Commons initiated an enquiry into the Transportation of convicts and status of Australia, especially the 'assigning' of convicts to private masters, such as were Sarah and Mary. They were effectively slaves. The committee chairman, Molesworth, delivered the final report in 1840. The chairman then moved the motion that would change Australia forever.

Title: Kangaroo Court Author: C. R. Thomas Narrator: Michael Carmen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 42 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Historic True Crime The long forgotten true story of two convict 'assigned' servant girls, Sarah 18 y/o & Mary 20 y/o, tried in colonial Australia for the murder of their “master”. All the people are real. All court testimonies are real. The blatant unfairness of the trial was also very true. The deceased, Captain Waldron, was a retired army Captain, then gentleman farmer and magistrate. The police investigator, Capt. Allman, was Capt. Waldron's friend, also an ex-army officer from the same regiment and a fellow magistrate. The judge, Burton, was ex-navy. There was no inquest, autopsy or death certificate. There were no marks or bruises on the head of the deceased . The witnesses except for the widow and her 12-year-old son saw no punches, allegedly the cause of death. The attending doctor did not arrive in time to give evidence. Hearsay evidence was admitted. There were no witnesses for the defence. The defence counsel, Rowe, was soon after struck off for pocketing witness expenses. The defendants were not allowed to testify. The jury was seven serving military men and took just 15 minutes deliberation before the verdict. The handwritten transcript of the trial was only recently uncovered. The media of the day called it the most sensational trial Australia had ever had. The verdict caused near riots on the streets of Sydney. The police contingent guarding the girls had to be reinforced. The trial led to such outrage that the government had to intervene. The government referred the case to the King. Three years later the British House of Commons initiated an enquiry into the Transportation of convicts and status of Australia, especially the 'assigning' of convicts to private masters, such as were Sarah and Mary. They were effectively slaves. The committee chairman, Molesworth, delivered the final report in 1840. The chairman then moved the motion that would change Australia forever. Queen Victoria by proclamation ended Transportation to NSW a few months later.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/don-t-say-a-thing-a-predator-a-pursuit-and-the-women-who-persevered-by-tamara-leitner--65273766https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/788195 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Don't Say a Thing: A Predator, a Pursuit, and the Women Who Persevered Author: Tamara Leitner Narrator: Tamara Leitner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 26 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In a powerful true-crime memoir, an Emmy Award–winning journalist seeks closure in a decades-long series of crimes and freedom from her own personal demons. In April 1999, reporter Tamara Leitner woke to an active crime scene outside her Arizona apartment. Her neighbor had been sexually assaulted by a man who would later be identified as Claude Dean Hull II, a serial rapist who escaped justice for decades. New identities. New states. New victims—more than one hundred suspected across the country and thousands more victimized in myriad ways. Tamara’s twenty-year compulsion to follow the investigation began. She needed to question a failed system. She needed to know the women whose lives were irrevocably altered. And she needed to face the root of her obsession with Hull and his crimes. In interviewing, befriending, and profoundly connecting with Hull’s survivors, Tamara crafts a unique true-crime narrative. It not only reveals the struggles of the justice system to help victims of sexual violence but explores how these resilient women—and Tamara herself—strove to reclaim their power in the wake of indelible trauma.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/788195Thu, 01 Jun 2023 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/788195 to listen full audiobooks.

Lustgarten's voice is austere but not without wit, gripping yet somehow addictive. The voice of a top Barrister presenting the facts of the case with the hangman's noose waiting silently in the shadows. "No case in criminal history has caused a more violent explosion of public wrath, says Edgar Lustgarten. So fierce was the detestation of the accused four that-wrote Edward Clarke QC, who defended one of them-when at the Old Bailey they were all found guilty of murder, those in court could hear 'the exultant shouts of the crowd which, although it was nearing midnight, still waited in the neighbouring streets'.The circumstances which touched off this outburst, both the events and the evidence-are recounted here in all their stark horror. So also is the remarkable sequel to the sentences of death, where a pressure group sought to interfere with the course of justice."]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722750Sun, 01 Jan 1978 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722750 to listen full audiobooks.

"The Brides-in-the-Bath case, with its bizarre details of the macabre was a sensation in 1915, says Edgar Lustgarten. Smith's trial contains several items of interest to specialists. To lawyers, a nice point concerning the admissibility of evidence. To students of human nature, the callousness and hypocrisy of the accused. But most of all-and this is of general interest-what stands out is the magnificent conduct of Marshall Hall of a defence that was absolutely hopeless. The question is often asked: What should defending counsel do when he believes his client is guilty? By example, the answer is demonstrated here."]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722749Sat, 01 Jan 1977 08:43:35 +0000Ivory FraneckiPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722749 to listen full audiobooks.
