Title: Life Sentence: The Brief and Tragic Career of Baltimore’s Deadliest Gang Leader Author: Mark Bowden Narrator: L.J. Ganser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 5 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In this unprecedented deep dive into inner-city gang life, Mark Bowden takes readers inside a Baltimore gang, offers an in-depth portrait of its notorious leader, and chronicles the 2016 FBI investigation that landed eight of its members in prisonSandtown is one of the deadliest neighborhoods in the world; it earned Baltimore its nickname Bodymore, Murderland, and was made notorious by David Simon’s classic HBO series The Wire. Drug deals dominate street corners, and ruthless, casual violence abounds.Montana Barronette grew up in the center of it all. He was the leader of the gang “Trained to Go,” or TTG, and when he was finally arrested and sentenced to life in prison, he had been labeled “Baltimore’s Number One Trigger Puller.” Under Tana’s reign, TTG dominated Sandtown. After a string of murders are linked to TTG, each with dozens of witnesses too intimidated to testify, three detectives set out to put Tana in prison for life. For them, this was never about drugs: it was about serial murder. An acclaimed journalist who spent his youth in the white suburbs of Baltimore, Mark Bowden returns to the city with exclusive access to the FBI files and unprecedented insight into one of the city’s deadliest gangs and its notorious leader. As he traces the rise and fall of TTG, Bowden uses wiretapped drug buys, police interviews, undercover videos, text messages, social media posts, trial transcripts, and his own ongoing conversations with Tana’s family and community to create the most in-depth account of an inner-city gang ever written.With his signature precision and propulsive narrative, Mark Bowden positions Tana—as a boy, a gang leader, a killer, and now a prisoner—in the context of Baltimore and America, illuminating his path for what it really was: a life sentence.
Countdown to Dallas: The Incredible Coincidences, Routines, and Blind 'Luck' that Brought John F. Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald Together on November 22, 1963 by Paul Brandus11 Apr 202311:45:00

Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald Together on November 22, 1963 Author: Paul Brandus Narrator: David Colacci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 45 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The so-called 'crime of the century'—the assassination of President John F. Kennedy—was almost preordained to happen. Like all presidents from decades before him, JFK played it loose with security—open cars, Secret Service agents at a distance, and a desire to be seen. Yet conspiracy buffs are certain the security setup on November 22, 1963 was unusual and suspicious. It wasn't. And what of Lee Harvey Oswald, the drifter, the vicious wife-beating, fame-seeking narcissist? Everything in his background—dating back to his violent, disturbing grade school years, including his stated desire to murder President Dwight Eisenhower—defines the real Lee Oswald. The Oswald that conspiracists rarely talk about—the Oswald who was perched in the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository as JFK drove by—was headed for this moment of infamy years before he pulled the trigger. In Countdown to Dallas, author Paul Brandus tracks the backgrounds of both Kennedy and Oswald, the very different era in which they lived, and the incredible string of circumstances that brought them together for a few fateful moments in Dallas.
[Spanish] - El siglo de las drogas (nueva edición) by Luis Astorga29 Dec 202206:33:00

Title: [Spanish] - El siglo de las drogas (nueva edición) Author: Luis Astorga Narrator: Beto Moreno Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 33 minutes Release date: December 29, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: A veinte años de su publicación original, la pertinencia de este libro no puede ser mayor: el negocio de las drogas ilegalizadas se encuentra en todos lados. Una nueva edición de una investigación clásica acerca los fármacos prohibidos y la historia de sus usos, las percepciones y las relaciones con los diferentes agentes sociales, desde la época porfiriana hasta nuestros días. Su autor, Luis Astorga, prestigiado investigador y analista del tema, critica de forma abierta la manera prejuiciosa y desinformada de abordarlo, y plantea posibles escenarios del futuro. A veinte años de la publicación de El siglo de las drogas, su pertinencia no puede ser mayor. Las menciones sobre el negocio de las drogas ilegalizadas abundan en la prensa: las disputas entre miembros de organizaciones criminales, la alarmante situación de las cárceles, las acciones violentas de sicarios y la reestructuración de los territorios de venta de sustancias psicoactivas ilícitas. El panorama sigue siendo complicado. Los políticos insisten en que el crimen organizado amenaza la seguridad nacional, aunque a muchos de ellos les conviene su fortalecimiento. Los institutos contra las adicciones se ven limitados por la falta de recursos, y el ciudadano común padece la falta de información de primera mano. La 'guerra contra las drogas' se puede volver una guerra interminable porque delincuencia y poder político han estado unidos históricamente, pero también porque la concepción que se tiene del fenómeno de la venta y el consumo varía de acuerdo con la época donde se ubica. Nuestra visión de drogas como la mariguana, la cocaína y las derivadas del opio cambia al mismo tiempo que nuestra realidad. En este contexto, Luis Astorga presenta un recorrido histórico que va desde el Porfiriato hasta la actualidad sobre los usos, las percepciones y el tráfico de esas sustancias y presenta interrogantes sobre los posibles escenarios del futuro: si la guerra está perdida de antemano, ¿sólo nos queda su legalización?
Operation Underworld: How the Mafia and US Government Teamed Up to Win World War II by Matthew Black27 Dec 202211:48:00
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/619155 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Operation Underworld: How the Mafia and US Government Teamed Up to Win World War II Author: Matthew Black Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 48 minutes Release date: December 27, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1942, a rational fear was mounting that New York Harbor was vulnerable to sabotage. If the waterfront was infested with German and Italian agents then the US Navy needed a recourse just as insidious to secure it. Naval intelligence officer Commander Charles Radcliffe Haffenden had the solution: recruit as his own spies, members of La Cosa Nostra. Pier to pier, no one terrified the longshoremen, stevedores, shopkeepers, and boat captains along the harbor better than the Mafia gangs of New York, who controlled the docks in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Haffenden was prepared to make a deal with the devil–the man who put 'organized' into organized crime. Even from his cell in Dannemora State Prison, former Public Enemy #1, Charles 'Lucky' Luciano still had tremendous power. Luciano was willing to wield it for Haffenden. But he wanted something in return—Luciano's contacts in Italy to track the Nazis' movements. Operation Underworld is a tale of espionage and crime like no other, the unbelievable, first-ever account of the Allied war effort's clandestine coalition between the Mafia and the US Government to protect New York, vanquish the Nazis by taking the fight to the enemy in the 1943 US invasion of Sicily.
Last Gangster in Austin: Frank Smith, Ronnie Earle, and the End of a Junkyard Mafia by Jesse Sublett17 May 202206:34:00
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618500 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Last Gangster in Austin: Frank Smith, Ronnie Earle, and the End of a Junkyard Mafia Author: Jesse Sublett Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 34 minutes Release date: May 17, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Ronnie Earle was a Texas legend. During his three decades as the district attorney responsible for Austin and surrounding Travis County, he prosecuted corrupt corporate executives and state officials, including the notorious US congressman Tom DeLay. But Ronnie Earle maintained that the biggest case of his career was the one involving Frank Hughey Smith, the ex-convict millionaire, alleged criminal mastermind, and Dixie Mafia figure. With the help of corrupt local authorities, Smith spent the 1970s building a criminal empire in auto salvage and bail bonds. But there was one problem: a rival in the salvage business threatened his dominance. Smith hired arsonists to destroy the rival; when they botched the job, he sent three gunmen, but the robbery they planned was a bloody fiasco. Investigators were convinced that Smith was guilty, but many were skeptical that the newly elected and inexperienced Earle could get a conviction. Amid the courtroom drama and underworld plots that the book describes, Willie Nelson makes a cameo. So do the private eyes, hired guns, and madams who kept Austin not only weird but also riddled with vice. An extraordinary true story, Last Gangster in Austin paints an unusual picture of the Texas capital as a place that was wild, wonderful, and as crooked as the dirt road to paradise.
Blood Money: The Story of Life, Death, and Profit Inside America's Blood Industry by Kathleen Mclaughlin28 Feb 202308:03:00
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618314 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Blood Money: The Story of Life, Death, and Profit Inside America's Blood Industry Author: Kathleen Mclaughlin Narrator: Sarah Mollo-Christensen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 3 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: A “haunting” (Anne Helen Petersen, author of Can’t Even) and deeply personal investigation of an underground for-profit medical industry and the American underclass it drains for blood and profit. Journalist Kathleen McLaughlin knew she’d found a treatment that worked on her rare autoimmune disorder. She had no idea it had been drawn from the veins of America’s most vulnerable. So begins McLaughlin’s ten-year investigation researching and reporting on the $20-billion-a year business she found at the other end of her medication, revealing a “vampiric real-life story of modern-day greed” (Leah Sottile, host of Bundyville). Assigned to work in China, where the plasma supply had been rocked by numerous scandals, McLaughlin hid American plasma in her luggage during trips between the two countries. And when she was warned by a Chinese researcher of troubling echoes between America’s domestic plasma supply chain and the one she’d seen spin out into chaos in China, she knew she had to dig deeper. Blood Money shares McLaughlin’s decade-long mission to learn the full story of where her medicine comes from. She travels the United States in search of the truth about human blood plasma and learns that twenty million Americans each year sell their plasma for profit—a human-derived commodity extracted inside our borders to be processed and packaged for retail across the globe. She investigates the thin evidence pharmaceutical companies have used to push plasma as a wonder drug for everything from COVID-19 to wrinkled skin. And she unearths an American economic crisis hidden in plain sight: single mothers, college students, laid-off Rust Belt auto workers, and a booming blood market at America’s southern border, where collection agencies target Mexican citizens willing to cross over and sell their plasma for substandard pay. This “captivating and anguished exposé” (Publishers Weekly) weaves together McLaughlin’s personal battle to overcome illness while also facing her own complicity in this wheel of exploitation with an electrifying portrait of big business run amok.
The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann18 Apr 202308:28:00
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/618002 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder Author: David Grann Narrator: David Grann, Dion Graham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 28 minutes Release date: April 18, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.42 of Total 188 Ratings of Narrator: 4.43 of Total 51 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire. A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, TIME, Smithsonian, NPR, Vulture, Kirkus Reviews “Riveting...Reads like a thriller, tackling a multilayered history—and imperialism—with gusto.” —Time 'A tour de force of narrative nonfiction.” —The Wall Street Journal On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes. But then ... six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang. The Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann’s recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O’Brian, his portrayal of the castaways’ desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann’s work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound.

Title: The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions Author: Jonathan Rosen Narrator: Jonathan Rosen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 44 minutes Release date: April 18, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.71 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST •  Named a Top 10 Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Slate, and People One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2023 “Brave and nuanced . . . an act of tremendous compassion and a literary triumph.” —The New York Times “Immensely emotional and unforgettably haunting.” —The Wall Street Journal Acclaimed author Jonathan Rosen’s haunting investigation of the forces that led his closest childhood friend, Michael Laudor, from the heights of brilliant promise to the forensic psychiatric hospital where he has lived since killing the woman he loved. A story about friendship, love, and the price of self-delusion, The Best Minds explores the ways in which we understand—and fail to understand—mental illness. When the Rosens moved to New Rochelle in 1973, Jonathan Rosen and Michael Laudor became inseparable. Both children of college professors, the boys were best friends and keen competitors, and, when they both got into Yale University, seemed set to join the American meritocratic elite.   Michael blazed through college in three years, graduating summa cum laude and landing a top-flight consulting job. But all wasn’t as it seemed. One day, Jonathan received the call: Michael had suffered a serious psychotic break and was in the locked ward of a psychiatric hospital.   Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Michael was still battling delu­sions when he traded his halfway house for Yale Law School. Featured in The New York Times as a role model genius, he sold a memoir, with film rights to Ron Howard. But then Michael, in the grip of an unshakeable paranoid fantasy, stabbed his girlfriend Carrie to death and became a front-page story of an entirely different sort.   Tender, funny, and harrowing by turns, The Best Minds is Jonathan Rosen’s magnificent and heartbreaking account of good intentions and tragic outcomes whose significance will echo widely.
There Will Be Fire: Margaret Thatcher, the IRA, and Two Minutes That Changed History by Rory Carroll04 Apr 202314:06:00

Title: There Will Be Fire: Margaret Thatcher, the IRA, and Two Minutes That Changed History Author: Rory Carroll Narrator: John Keating Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 4, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: **A Goodreads Choice Awards Nomination for Best History & Biography** **An NPR Book We Love** A race-against-the-clock narrative that finally illuminates a history-changing event: the IRA’s attempt to assassinate Margaret Thatcher and the epic manhunt that followed.     A bomb planted by the Irish Republican Army exploded at 2:54 a.m. on October 12, 1984. It was the last day of the Conservative Party Conference at the Grand Hotel in the coastal town of Brighton, England. Rooms were obliterated, dozens of people wounded, five killed. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was in her suite when the explosion occurred; had she been just a few feet in another direction, flying tiles and masonry would have sliced her to ribbons. As it was, she survived—and history changed.    There Will Be Fire is the gripping story of how the IRA came astonishingly close to killing Thatcher, in the most spectacular attack ever linked to the Northern Ireland Troubles. Journalist Rory Carroll reveals the long road to Brighton, the hide-and-seek between the IRA and British security services, the planting of the bomb itself, and the painstaking search for clues and suspects afterward.     In There Will Be Fire, Carroll draws on his own interviews and original reporting, reveals new information, and weaves together previously unconnected threads. There Will Be Fire is journalistic nonfiction that reads like a thriller, propelled by a countdown to detonation.

Title: The Peking Express: The Bandits Who Stole a Train, Stunned the West, and Broke the Republic of China Author: James M Zimmerman Narrator: David Shih Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 43 minutes Release date: April 4, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The thrilling true story of train-robbing revolutionaries and passengers who got more than they paid for in this Murder on the Orient Express–style adventure, set in China’s republican era. In 1923 Shanghai, native and foreign travelers alike are enthralled by the establishment of a new railway line to distant Peking. With this new line comes the Peking Express, a luxurious express train on the cutting edge of China’s continental transportation. Among those drawn to the train are oil heiress Lucy Aldrich, journalist John Benjamin Powell, and vacationing Army Majors Roland Pinger and Robert Allen, wives and children in tow. These errant Americans and their eclectic fellow passengers all eagerly anticipate an idyllic overnight journey in first class. But the train’s passengers are not the only ones enchanted by the Peking Express. The bandit revolutionary Sun Mei-yao sees in it the promise of a reckoning long overdue. From his vantage in Shantung Province, a conflict-ravaged region through which the train must pass, he identifies the Peking Express as a means of commanding the global stage. By disrupting the train and taking its wealthy passengers hostage, he can draw international attention to the plight of Shantung and, he hopes, thereby secure a solution. In the first hours of May 6, 1923, Sun and his bandit troops enact their daring plan. Wrested from the pleasures of their luxury cabins, dozens of travelers including Aldrich, Powell, Pinger, and Allen are plunged into the unfamiliar Shantung terrain. Pursued by warlords and led by their captors, they must make their way to the bandits’ mountain stronghold and there await their fate. The Peking Express is the incredible, long-forgotten story of a hostage crisis that shocked China and the West. It vividly captures the events that made international headlines and later inspired Josef von Sternberg’s 1932 Hollywood masterpiece Shanghai Express.

It's no secret that American health care has become too costly and politicized to help everyone. So where do you turn if you can't afford doctors, or don't trust them? In this book, Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling examines the growing universe of non-traditional treatments -- including some that are really non-traditional. With costs skyrocketing and anti-science sentiment spreading, the so-called "medical freedom" movement has grown. Now it faces its greatest challenge: going mainstream. In these pages you'll meet medical freedom advocates including an international leech smuggler, a gold miner-turned health drink salesman who may or may not be from the Andromeda galaxy, and a man who says he can turn people into zombies with aerosol spray. One by one, these alternative healers find customers, then expand and influence, always seeking the one thing that would take their businesses to the next level--the support and approval of the government. Should the government dictate what is medicine and what isn't? Can we have public health when disagreements over science are this profound? No, seriously, can you turn people into flesh-eating zombies? If It Sounds Like a Quack asks these critical questions while telling the story of how we got to this improbable moment, and wondering where we go from here. Buckle up for a bumpy ride...unless you're against seatbelts.

Title: Justice in the Age of Judgment: From Amanda Knox to Kyle Rittenhouse and the Battle for Due Process in the Digital Age Author: Doug Bremner, Anne Bremner Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 25, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: When unscrupulous Italian prosecutors waged an all-out war in the media and courtroom to wrongly convict American exchange student Amanda Knox for a murder she didn’t commit, family and friends turned to Seattle attorney and media legal analyst Anne Bremner to help win her freedom. The case was dubbed the “trial of the decade” and would coincide with the explosion of social media and a new era of trying cases in public as much as the courtroom. While Italian prosecutors, the press, and online lynch mobs convicted Knox in the court of public opinion, Bremner would draw upon her decades in the courtroom and in front of the camera to turn the tide with a new kind of defense in pursuit of justice. Bremner takes us inside some of the biggest cases of recent times and offers her expert insights and analysis as our legal system faces unprecedented forces fighting to tip the scales of justice their way. Why couldn’t prosecutors convict O.J. Simpson despite all of the evidence seemingly proving he killed his wife Nicole? Could a jury remain unbiased in the face of overwhelming public pressure in the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd? Justice in the Age of Judgement is Bremner’s unparalleled and unflinching look at the captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of proof and fundamental legal tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” is under assault from the court of public opinion.

Talking to crooks, cops, forensic psychologists, scientists and victims, I've gone back to some of Australia's worst acts of badness, including unsolved murders that never made the front pages as well as infamous killings carried out by Ivan Milat and the Granny Killer, the murder of Anita Cobby, the Hoddle Street massacre, Port Arthur, horrific abuse at the Parramatta girls' home and the disappearance of preschooler William Tyrrell. What I've found has made me question everything, including where evil comes from, what drives us to commit crimes and how we can prevent them. I used to think I was on the side of the angels. Now I am not so sure.

Und kann man diese Entwicklung stoppen? Die Psychologin Florence McLean berichtet von dem jahrelangen Briefwechsel, den sie mit einer Reihe berüchtigter Serienmörder geführt hat – unter anderem mit Jeffery Dahmer, der die Köpfe seiner Opfer als Souvenir in der Kühltruhe aufbewahrte, und dem 'Prostituiertenmörder' Arthur John Shawcross. Mithilfe von Methoden des berühmten FBI-Profilers John E. Douglas analysiert McLean Denken, Fühlen und Handeln der 34 Täter, die zusammen Hunderte Menschenleben auf dem Gewissen haben. Und sie untersucht die Möglichkeit, potenzielle Täter zu identifizieren, bevor sie den ersten Mord begehen, indem man konventionelle Profiling-Techniken neu denkt und anwendet.-

Title: Koresh: The True Story of David Koresh and the Tragedy at Waco Author: Stephan Talty Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 23 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: ''Impressively researched and written with storytelling verve. ... Talty delves the deepest into the history and twisted personality of David Koresh.'' —Wall Street Journal The first comprehensive account of David Koresh’s life, his road to Waco, and the rise of government mistrust in America, from a master of narrative nonfiction No other event in the last fifty years is shrouded in myth like the 1993 siege of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas. Today, we remember this moment for the 76 people, including 20 children, who died in the fire; for its inspiration of the Oklahoma City bombing; and for the wave of anti-government militarism that followed. What we understand far less is what motivated the Davidians’ enigmatic leader, David Koresh. Drawing on first-time, exclusive interviews with Koresh’s family and survivors of the siege, bestselling author Stephan Talty paints a psychological portrait of this infamous icon of the 1990s. Born Vernon Howell into the hyper-masculine world of central Texas in the 1960s, Koresh experienced a childhood riven with abuse and isolation. He found a new version of himself in the halls of his local church, and love in the fundamentalist sect of the Branch Davidians. Later, with a new name and professed prophetic powers, Koresh ushered in a new era for the Davidians that prized his own sexual conquest as much as his followers’ faith. As one survivor has said, “What better way for a worthless child to feel worth than to become God?” In his signature immersive storytelling, Talty reveals how Koresh’s fixation on holy war, which would deliver the Davidians to their reward and confirm himself as Christ, collided with his paranoid obsession with firearms to destructive effect. Their deadly, 51-day standoff with the embattled FBI and ATF, he shows, embodied an anti-government ethic that continues to resonate today. Now, thirty years after that unforgettable moment, Koresh presents the tragedy at Waco—and the government mistrust it inspired—in its fullest context yet.

Title: The Early Years II Series: #2 of The Further Author: Steve Hodel Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 8 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: TWENTY YEARS BEFORE SHOCKING THE WORLD IN LOS ANGELES IN 1947 AS “THE BLACK DAHLIA AVENGER” DID GEORGE HODEL TERRORIZE CALIFORNIA BY COMMITTING SOME OF ITS MOST INFAMOUS CRIMES AND SERIAL MURDERS? From the Introduction: In writing George Hill Hodel: “The Early Years,” my original intent was to present all my father’s suspected crimes from the 1920s and 1930s in one edition. I have found this is simply not possible as it would require a book that would dwarf Dostoevsky’s nearly seven-hundred-page opus, Crime and Punishment. Therefore, I will present “The Early Years” in two parts, two editions. This edition is Part II and presents my investigations of his suspected crimes in the 1930s. Note that I said, “suspected crimes.” I want to be crystal clear on this point. My two-part, “Early Years” investigations are just that—a search out of for the truth. …In the presentation of these crimes from the long ago (the first one goes back one hundred years), I make no claim to a “solution.” I am not saying that my father, George Hill Hodel, committed any of these crimes, beyond a “Reasonable Doubt”—which would be the legal requirement to find him guilty. Several of these crimes, without the introduction of hard physical evidence, or DNA, are not solvable. Others have been claimed “solved” by law enforcement and are considered “Case Closed.”…To be clear. These crimes from the Twenties and Thirties did not present themselves to me post-Black Dahlia Avenger published in 2003. I was aware of them and his possible involvement in them as early as the year 2000, a full three years before I presented my father to the world as the killer of Elizabeth “Black Dahlia” Short and the other LA Lone Woman Murders.

These covert operations involve a variety of foreign countries—North Korea, Russia, Israel, China, and others—and include cyberattacks, espionage, psychological warfare, the infiltration of presidential campaigns, the smuggling of nuclear weapons components, and other incredibly nefarious actions.    With his trademark deep investigative style, James Bamford digs as deep as one can go into these clandestine invasions and attacks, uncovering who’s involved, how these spygames were carried out, and why none of this was stopped. Full of revelations, SPYFAIL includes access to previously secret and withheld documents, such as never-before-seen parts of the Mueller Report, and interviews with confidential sources.    Throughout this stunning, eye-opening account, SPYFAIL demonstrates again and again how large a role politics, special interests, and corruption play in allowing these shocking foreign intrusions to continue—leaving America and its secrets vulnerable and undefended.

Title: Crooked: The Roaring '20s Tale of a Corrupt Attorney General, a Crusading Senator, and the Birth of the American Political Scandal Author: Nathan Masters Narrator: David H Lawrence Xvii Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 34 minutes Release date: March 21, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The riveting, forgotten narrative of the most corrupt attorney general in American history and the maverick senator who stopped at nothing to take him down Many tales from the Jazz Age reek of crime and corruption. But perhaps the era’s greatest political fiasco—one that resulted in a nationwide scandal, a public reckoning at the Department of Justice, the rise of J. Edgar Hoover, and an Oscar-winning film—has long been lost to the annals of history. In Crooked, Nathan Masters restores this story of murderers, con artists, secret lovers, spies, bootleggers, and corrupt politicians to its full, page-turning glory. Newly elected to the Senate on a promise to root out corruption, Burton "Boxcar Burt" Wheeler sets his sights on ousting Attorney General Harry Daugherty, puppet-master behind President Harding’s unlikely rise to power. Daugherty is famous for doing whatever it takes to keep his boss in power, and his cozy relations with bootleggers and other scofflaws have long spawned rumors of impropriety. But when his constant companion and trusted fixer, Jess Smith, is found dead of a gunshot wound in the apartment the two men share, Daugherty is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, exposing the rot consuming the Harding administration to a shocked public. Determined to uncover the truth in the ensuing investigation, Wheeler takes the prosecutorial reins and subpoenas a rogue’s gallery of witnesses—convicted felons, shady detectives, disgraced officials—to expose the attorney general’s treachery and solve the riddle of Jess Smith’s suspicious death. With the muckraking senator hot on his trail, Daugherty turns to his greatest weapon, the nascent Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose eager second-in-command, J. Edgar Hoover, sees opportunity amidst the chaos. Packed with political intrigue, salacious scandal, and no shortage of lessons for our modern era of political discord, Nathan Masters’ thrilling historical narrative shows how this intricate web of inconceivable crookedness set the stage for the next century of American political scandals.

Then he simply disappeared, for the next forty-four years, until an amateur DNA sleuth opened her laptop. In I Know Who You Are, Barbara Rae-Venter reveals how she went from researching her family history as a retiree to hunting for a notorious serial killer—and how she became the nation’s leading authority on investigative genetic genealogy, the most dazzling new crime-fighting weapon to appear in decades.   Rae-Venter shares haunting, often thrilling accounts of how she helped solve some of America’s most chilling cold cases in the span of just three years, frequently starting with little more than a DNA sample. She brings readers inside her unique “grasshopper mind” as she pores through obituaries, marriage records, and old newspaper articles. Readers join in on urgent calls with sheriffs, FBI agents, and district attorneys as she details the struggle to obtain usable crime scene DNA samples, until, finally, a critical piece of the puzzle clicks into place. I Know Who You Are captures both the exhilaration of these discoveries and the deep-rooted emotions that linger around cold cases. It is a story of relentless curiosity and reinvention, and of human beings striving to answer the most elemental questions about themselves: What defines identity? Where do we belong? And are we truly who we think we are?

For weeks after they were declared missing, an image of these smiling young girls dressed in their matching Manchester United kit, taken just a couple of hours before they went missing, was plastered across the British press as a nationwide search began to take place. Hoards of volunteers stepped forward, the Cambridgeshire police began an exhaustive investigation and candlelight vigils were held as the local community and the rest of the country hoped for their safe return. When the bodies were discovered in a ditch, the final ray of hope for their safe return was extinguished as it became clear that both girls had been murdered. The nation was shocked and sickened at the news and so began a national outpouring of grief for these two innocent girls who had tragically lost their lives in such a terrible way. And, in a terrible twist, Ian Huntley, a man who having given such vocal support for the search had become spokesperson for the community, was found guilty. Twenty years on, Huntley is still one of the most reviled men in the country. Beyond Evil is an in-depth study of this shocking case as it unfolded, written by investigative journalist Nathan Yates, who witnessed the murder hunt first-hand and even interviewed Huntley and former girlfriend Maxine Carr in what is still remembered as one of the most terrible cases of abduction and murder.

Francis and Alma had moved to Bournemouth, England, when Victoria had ostracized them for their scandalous, flagrant affair while Francis was married to his first wife. Their life in Bournemouth was tangled. Francis became lush and impotent. Sex-starved, Alma seduced George, previously a virgin. They conducted their affair in her upstairs bedroom with her and Francis’s six-year-old son in a nearby bed, “sleeping” she said, and the near-deaf Francis, apparently unaware, downstairs in his armchair in a drunken stupor. The lovers were tried together at the historic high-profile Old Bailey Criminal Court in London, U.K., resulting in intense public interest and massive, frenzied media coverage.

Title: The Early Years I Series: #1 of The Further Author: Steve Hodel Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: TWENTY YEARS BEFORE SHOCKING THE WORLD IN LOS ANGELES IN 1947 AS “THE BLACK DAHLIA AVENGER” DID GEORGE HODEL TERRORIZE CALIFORNIA BY COMMITTING SOME OF ITS MOST INFAMOUS CRIMES AND SERIAL MURDERS? From the Introduction:In writing George Hill Hodel: “The Early Years,” my original intent was to present all my father’s suspected crimes from the 1920s and 1930s in one edition. I have found this is simply not possible as it would require a book that would dwarf Dostoevsky’s nearly seven-hundred-page opus, Crime and Punishment. Therefore, I will present “The Early Years” in two-parts, two editions. This edition is Part I and presents my investigations of his suspected crimes in the 1920s. Note that I said, “suspected crimes.” I want to be crystal clear on this point. My two-part, “Early Years” investigations are just that—a search out of for the truth. …In the presentation of these crimes from the long ago (the first one goes back one-hundred years), I make no claim to a “solution.” I am not saying that my father, George Hill Hodel, committed any of these crimes, beyond a “Reasonable Doubt”—which would be the legal requirement to find him guilty.Several of these crimes, without the introduction of hard physical evidence, or DNA, are not solvable. Others have been claimed “solved” by law enforcement and are considered “Case Closed.”…To be clear.These crimes from the Twenties and Thirties did not present themselves to me post-Black Dahlia Avenger published in 2003. I was aware of them and his possible involvement in them as early as the year 2000, a full three years before I presented my father to the world as the killer of Elizabeth “Black Dahlia” Short and the other LA Lone Woman Murders.

Title: As Far As The Saffron Fields: The Pulwama Conspiracy Author: Danesh Rana Narrator: Nimisha Sirohi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 20, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In March 2019, two militants were killed during a siege at a house in Nowgam, on the outskirts of Srinagar. One of them was known simply as 'Idrees Bhai'. The encounter was forgotten for the most part, until investigators came upon a mangled phone that had been destroyed by Idrees Bhai. When the Samsung smartphone began to reveal its secrets, investigators realized they had hit upon a motherlode. For, Idrees Bhai was none other than Umar Farooq Alvi, the mastermind of the Pulwama suicide attack of February 2019 which had killed forty CRPF personnel, the deadliest terror attack on Indian security forces since 1989. Now, for the first time, serving IPS officer Danesh Rana meticulously pieces together the conspiracy behind the attack. Based upon personal interviews with the protagonists, police chargesheets and other evidence, Rana breaks down the modern face of militancy in Kashmir, fuelled by highly motivated young Kashmiris who have taken on the mantle of bringing down the Indian state. This is the story of a state in conflict, told through the story of a single terror attack. Piecing together the stories of several actors - from Umar the boy-wonder insurgent to Insha, the love of his life; from Adil Dar, the man who rammed a van full of explosives into the CRPF bus to Head Constable Jaimal Singh, the driver of that ill-fated bus - As Far as the Saffron Fields is by far the most definitive book on the Pulwama attack, going where no book on the Kashmir conflict has gone before. This is war at its worst, tearing apart families and dreams, leaving only mangled bodies and phones behind.

Title: The Unquiet Grave: The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country Author: Steve Hendricks Narrator: Charles Constant Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 14 minutes Release date: September 13, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1976 the body of Anna Mae Aquash, an American Indian luminary, was found frozen in the Badlands of South Dakota—or so the FBI said. After a suspicious autopsy and a rushed burial, friends had Aquash exhumed and found a .32-caliber bullet in her skull. Using this scandal as a point of departure, The Unquiet Grave opens a tunnel into the dark side of the FBI and its subversion of American Indian activists. But the book also discovers things the Indians would prefer to keep buried. What unfolds is a sinuous tale of conspiracy, murder, and cover-up that stretches from the plains of South Dakota to the polished corridors of Washington, D.C. Author Steve Hendricks sued the FBI over several years to pry out thousands of unseen documents about the events. His work was supported by the prestigious Fund for Investigative Journalism. Hendricks, who has freelanced for The Nation, Boston Globe, Orion, and public radio, is one of those rare reporters whose investigative tenacity is accompanied by grace with the written word.

Isaac Gamboa era un exfuncionario de la Secretaría de Hacienda que, de la mano de Luis Videgaray, se convirtió en uno de los hombres más poderosos e importantes durante el sexenio de Peña Nieto. Su asesinato, y el de su familia en mayo de 2020, a manos de un comando armado en Temixco, Morelos, quedó sepultado bajo el móvil de un supuesto crimen pasional, orquestado por su esposa —hoy detenida— y uno de sus escoltas. Sin embargo, la información que poseía Gamboasobre desvíos de recursos durante el gobierno anterior sugiere que su silencio podría haber resultado muy conveniente para altos funcionarios del peñismo. A partir de un trabajo periodístico riguroso y un ritmo narrativo apasionante, Manu Ureste, Zedryk Raziel y Arturo Ángel —reporteros de investigación de Animal Político— relatan el multihomicidio a la luz de las tramas de corrupción en las que el exfuncionario estaba implicado: la red de empresas fantasma alrededor de él y su familia relacionadas con el lavado de hasta 5 mil 800 millones de pesos. Pero no sólo eso, también descubren en Gamboa al hombre clave para trazar el mecanismo con el que se desviaron recursos públicos en escándalos de corrupción como la Operación Safiro, que permitiría hundir a importantes funcionarios y políticos prominentes del gobierno peñista. «El caso Viuda Negra es una radiografía que, desde lo local, exhibe la podredumbre de un sistema que se protege y reproduce, que hace todo para no morir. Incluido matar.» -Gabriela Warkentin

The Riders Come Out at Night: Brutality, Corruption, and Cover Up in Oakland by Darwin Bondgraham, Ali Winston10 Jan 202319:48:00

Title: The Riders Come Out at Night: Brutality, Corruption, and Cover Up in Oakland Author: Darwin Bondgraham, Ali Winston Narrator: Robin Miles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 48 minutes Release date: January 10, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: From the Polk Award–winning investigative duo comes “a meticulously researched and enraging account” (Shane Bauer, New York Times bestselling author) of the systematic corruption and brutality within the Oakland Police Department, and the more than two-decades-long saga of attempted reforms and explosive scandals. No municipality has been under court oversight to reform its police department as long as the city of Oakland. It is, quite simply, the edge case in American law enforcement. The Riders Come Out at Night is the culmination of over twenty-one years of fearless reporting. Ali Winston and Darwin BondGraham shine a light on the jackbooted and sadistic cops known as “The Riders,” and the lack of political will and misguided leadership that have conspired to stymie meaningful reform. The authors trace the history of Oakland since its inception through the lens of the city’s police department, through the Palmer Raids, McCarthyism, and the Civil Rights struggle, the Black Panthers and crack eras, to Oakland’s present-day revival. Those who have fought for reform are also revealed, including Keith Batt, a wide-eyed rookie cop turned whistleblower, who was unwittingly partnered with the leader of the Riders, and Jim Chanin and John Burris, two dedicated civil rights attorneys. Meanwhile, Oakland’s deep history of law enforcement corruption, reactionary politics, and social movement organizing is retold through historical figures like Black Panther Huey Newton, drug kingpin Felix Mitchell, district attorney and future Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, and Mayor Jerry Brown. “As thrilling as the best noir fiction” (Whiting Foundation, 2021 Creative Nonfiction Grant Jury), The Riders Come Out at Night is the story of one city and its police department, but it’s also the story of American policing—and where it’s headed.
The Angel Makers: Arsenic, a Midwife, and Modern History’s Most Astonishing Murder Ring by Patti Mccracken14 Mar 202310:50:00

Title: The Angel Makers: Arsenic, a Midwife, and Modern History’s Most Astonishing Murder Ring Author: Patti Mccracken Narrator: Gabra Zackman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 50 minutes Release date: March 14, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The Angel Makers is a true-crime story like no other—a 1920s midwife who may have been the century’s most prolific killer leading a murder ring of women responsible for the deaths of at least 160 men. The horror occurred in a rustic farming enclave in modern-day Hungary. To look at the unlikely lineup of murderesses—village wives, mothers, and daughters—was to come to the shocking realization that this could have happened anywhere, and to anyone. At the center of it all was a sharp-minded village midwife, a “smiling Buddha” known as Auntie Suzy, who distilled arsenic from flypaper and distributed it to the women of Nagyrév. “Why are you bothering with him?” Auntie Suzy would ask, as she produced an arsenic-filled vial from her apron pocket. In the beginning, a great many used the deadly solution to finally be free of cruel and abusive spouses. But as the number of dead bodies grew without consequence, the killers grew bolder. With each vial of poison emptied, a new reason surfaced to drain yet another. Some women disposed of sickly relatives. Some used arsenic as “inheritance powder” to secure land and houses. For more than fifteen years, the unlikely murderers aided death unfettered and tended to it as if it were simply another chore—spooning doses of arsenic into soup and wine, stirring it into coffee and brandy. By the time their crimes were discovered, hundreds were feared dead. Anonymous notes brought the crimes to light in 1929. As a skillful prosecutor hungry for justice ran the investigation, newsmen from around the world—including the New York Times—poured in to cover the dramatic events as they unfolded. The Angel Makers captures in expertly researched detail the entirety of this harrowing story, from the early murders to the final hanging—the story of one of the most sensational and astonishing murder rings in all of modern history.

But Harry Roberts, by his own admission the instigator of the crime and the most notorious, was released from prison after 48 years in 2015 making national front page news. What could possess an apparently rational and sane man, albeit an habitual criminal, to commit such a callous and ruthless act? How can an ordinary person understand what he did? Should he be forgiven?

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/599998 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Ted Bundy: The Yearly Journal, Vol. 1: 2022 Author: Kevin Sullivan Narrator: Chris Kipiniak Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 32 minutes Release date: September 6, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Due to Sullivan’s extensive writing about Ted Bundy, he’s become a sort of magnet over the years, drawing out many people who were part of the Bundy story but have otherwise kept a low profile over the decades. These first-person contacts continue to this day. As such, this is the first book in a new series of books whose aim is to bring new revelations to the public about Bundy, the victims, the murders, and the almost murders that failed Bundy for one reason or another. This first offering, Ted Bundy: The Yearly Journal Volume One, contains a great deal of never-before-published information from a number of women who barely escaped his grasp. It also reveals Bundy’s geographic hunting pattern after his arrival in Salt Lake City, Utah, in September 1974; a surprising discovery the author never expected to make, but did, and it all came about through the valid testimonies of the women who encountered him during this period. The book also delves into what the author believes is perhaps an accurate, albeit conservative, estimate of how many women or young girls Bundy approached but failed to abduct during his years of murder. Each new volume will focus on particular aspects of the case where further investigation is warranted. There are still “unknowns” out there, and as the author has experienced, where unknowns exist the possibility of discovery awaits.

S. 96 (Confidential Source 96). Ésta es la impresionante historia de Caribe, quien operó y coordinó durante años una red de entrega de narcóticos en los Estados Unidos, provenientes de algunos de los cárteles más importantes y mortíferos de México. Con un ritmo trepidante, estas memorias, escritas con la ayuda de Robert Cea, nos muestran cómo Caribe escaló posiciones entre los bajosmundos de la droga gracias a sus grandes dotes de negociador, hasta que un día es detenido transportando un cargamento de cocaína. A partir de ese momento decide colaborar con las agencias federales estadounidenses y se convierte en el informante más exitoso en términos de drogas decomisadas. A la par que Caribe rectifica su camino y lleva una doble vida entre despliegues policiales y arriesgadas operaciones, los peligros se multiplican para él y su familia hasta llegar al punto de casi perder el control. Éste es el épico testimonio de un hombre que logró atravesar un camino de sombras, así como un retrato de la batalla que se libra en contra de feroces traficantes que asolan el imperio de la ley.

Title: [Spanish] - Lavado de dinero y corrupción política: El arte de la delincuencia organizada internacional Author: Edgardo Buscaglia Narrator: Daniel Cubillo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: June 9, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Estas páginas representan una lectura indispensable para explorar los mecanismos internacionales para combatir el lavado de dinero y los grandes retos pendientes del Estados y la sociedad civil. El autor de Vacíos de poder en México continúa en esta obra un imperioso análisis sobre el crimen organizado y sus vínculos con la corrupción política. Prólogo de Carlos Castresana. Edgardo Buscaglia se concentra en los principios y las claves del lavado de dinero o blanqueo de capitales, la principal actividad que sostiene el patrimonio de los grupos delincuenciales. Por medio de casos paradigmáticos recientes, el autor realiza un examen de los crímenes que preceden el blanqueo en diversas naciones, desplegando posteriormente una minuciosa descripción de los modus operandi y las fases por las que los capitales de procedencia ilícita se integran en la economía legal. Al mismo tiempo, muestra con exactitud cómo se involucran distintos sectores económicos -bancario, farmacéutico, inmobiliario, remesas, entre otros- para mover dinero sucio en un trayecto tan complejo que puede atravesar decenas de países antes de lavarse de forma definitiva. Ante una delincuencia global que se expande a la par de la sangre de sus víctimas, estas páginas representan una lectura indispensable para explorar los mecanismos internacionales que han resultado más efectivos para combatir el lavado de dinero y los grandes retos pendientes tanto de los Estados como de la sociedad civil. Carlos Castrena, en el prólogo: 'Edgardo Buscaglia ha denunciado sistemáticamente, con valentía y credibilidad excepcionales, la convivencia que desde los poderes públicos y las corporaciones privadas permite a los grupos criminales desarrollarse y lavar impunemente sus ingentes beneficios. Sin embargo, su visión no es catastrofista. Identifica el problema y desarrolla una agenda con propuestas concretas.' Otros autores han opinado: 'En este libro están las claves para comprender el lavado de dinero y las estrategias para acotarlo. La lucidez de su autor nos entrega otra herramienta ciudadana indispensable para defendernos de la opacidad y la corrupción. Buscaglia no se detiene en el diagnóstico; este hombre valiente pone en nuestras manos las soluciones ante la crisis causada por la falsa guerra contra las drogas.' - Lydia Cacho
