Publisher's Summary:

A Word from the Author:

This is a horrible, true story.

One person called it "gruesome".

I agree with that statement.

It is a story not for the faint of heart. Turn back now, if that is you. What it really is though, is a strong dose of reality. Not of just how frail life is and how quickly and horribly it can end, but also of how cold and inhumane people can be to each other. People in both low and high positions. You have been warned.

I have told this story as I have heard it. All names have been changed except my own. The name of the place where the woman worked has also been changed. All else, is as I was told.

Will Bevis.

By the Author of "The Killing of Train-Man Brown", "Send Me a Friend", "Then Her Wig Fell Off", and the controversial "Slow Foreplay on a Fast Bus".

Titolo: I Misteri del Vaticano: Il caso Orlandi e il caso Estermann [The Mysteries of the Vatican: The Orlandi Case and the Estermann Case]

Autore: Jacopo Pezzan, Giacomo Brunoro

Narratore: Mauro Ferreri, Max Duprè, Rita Zanchetta, Nino Carollo

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 1 hr and 44 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 09-26-12

Editore: LA CASE

Categoria: Nonfiction, True Crime

Riepilogo Editore:

La scomparsa di Emanuela Orlandi e il massacro delle guardie svizzere sono due tra i casi più bui e intricati della recente storia Vaticana. Da una parte una ragazzina di appena 15 anni che sparisce senza motivi e, soprattutto, senza lasciare la minima traccia, nel pieno di un'estate romana come tante altre; dall'altra un doppio omicidio e un suicidio (per lo meno questa è la versione ufficiale dei fatti) che rappresentano il più grave fatto di sangue avvenuto in Vaticano nel secolo scorso.

Due storie in cui entrano a più riprese servizi segreti internazionali, bande criminali, misteriosi personaggi legati a poteri occulti, congregazioni religiose e terroristi internazionali.

Due rebus che a distanza di decenni continuano a scuotere l'opinione pubblica internazionale e, purtroppo, che sono rimasti ancora senza una spiegazione capace di mettere tutti d'accordo.

Title: Among Righteous Men: A Tale of Vigilantes and Vindication in Hasidic Crown Heights

Author: Matthew Shaer

Narrator: Pete Larkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Publisher's Summary:

Inside the hidden world of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn's Crown Heights--a close-knit but divided community.

On a cold night in December, the members of a Hasidic anti-crime patrol called the Shomrim are summoned to a yeshiva dormitory in Crown Heights. There to break up a brawl, the Shomrim instead find themselves embroiled in a religious schism which has split the community and turned roommate against roommate, neighbor against neighbor. At the center of the storm is Aron Hershkop, the owner of an auto-repair business and the leader of the Shomrim. Hershkop watches as the NYPD builds a criminal case against his brothers and friends, apparently with the help of several local residents, who have taken the rare step of forgoing a ruling from the local rabbinical council. Soon, both sides are squaring off in a Brooklyn criminal court, with the Shomrim facing gang assault charges and decades in prison. What conflict could run so deep it left both sides airing their dirty laundry so publicly? This compelling story takes you to the deepest corners of a normally hidden world.

Title: Damn His Blood

Author: Peter Moore

Narrator: Michael Maloney

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-12

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Publisher's Summary:

The brutal murder of the Rev. George Parker in the rural village of Oddingley on Midsummer's Day in 1806 - shot and beaten to death, his body set on fire and left smouldering in his own glebe field - gripped everyone from the Home Secretary to newspapermen across the country. It was a strange and stubborn case. The investigation lasted 24 years and involved inquests, judges, and coroners, each more determined than the last to solve the gruesome crime.

Damn His Blood is a fascinating glimpse into English life at the start of the 19th century. England was exhausted and nervous: dogged by Pitt's war taxes, mounting inflation, and the lingering threat of a French invasion, violence was rife, particularly in rural communities where outsiders were regarded with deep suspicion. Damn His Blood is a nail-biting true story of brutality, greed, and ruthlessness, which brings an elusive society vividly back to life.

Title: Crimes Against Humanity: Bolinda Beginner Guides

Author: Adam Jones

Narrator: Adrian Mulraney

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-07-12

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Publisher's Summary:

In this compelling overview, Adam Jones outlines the history and current extent of key crimes against humanity, and highlights the efforts of popular movements to suppress them. Using examples ranging from the genocides in Darfur and Rwanda to the sex trade of Eastern Europe and the use of torture in the war on terror, Jones explores the progress made in toughening international law, and the stumbling blocks which prevent full compliance with it. Coherent and revealing, this book is essential for anyone interested in the well-being of humanity and its future.

Editorial Reviews:

Adam Jones provides a deep, probing discussion on genocide, torture, rape, and other crimes against humanity plaguing the world from Africa to Eastern Europe. This is a global concern that, as Jones states, the international community has unfortunately been slow to combat, and Jones looks at the history of these crimes through research as well as testimonials from survivors. It's an upsetting topic that is made enlightening by Jones and Adrian Mulraney, who gives a resolute and sober performance. Mulraney's crisp and distinct tone gives the material even greater weight and importance.

Riepilogo Editore:

Questo audiolibro presenta il resoconto della serie di delitti più agghiacciante mai avvenuta in Italia, e cioè i delitti compiuti dal cosiddetto Mostro Di Firenze. Stiamo parlando una vicenda che ha messo in crisi tutti i modelli criminologici esistenti sui serial killer al punto che possiamo dire che esistono i delitti tradizionali, i serial killer e il Mostro di Firenze. L'inchiesta di Brunoro, Cochi e Pezzan inoltre è arricchita dalle voci di molti dei protagonisti di questa storia: il giornalista e scrittore Mario Spezi (l'uomo che coniò l'espressione "Mostro di Firenze),l'ex Procuratore Capo Pier Luigi Vigna, il criminologo Francesco Bruno, lo scrittore e avvocato Nino Filastò, l'ex sostituto procuratore Silvia Della Monica, l'avv. Nino Marazzita e tanti altri: una serie di interviste che permette di approfondire le tante zone grigie che circondano uno dei misteri più neri della storia italiana.

Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Recensioni critiche:

"Un audiolibro da leggere che permetterà ai neofiti di avere un quadro chiaro e completo sui delitti del Mostro e sulle varie piste seguite. Utilissimo anche per gli esperti, che pensano di sapere tutto sullargomento, per scoprire spunti e indiscrezioni sui delitti e sulle piste investigative." (Thriller Magazine)

"Gli amanti del genere true crime apprezzeranno lanalisi dei delitti del mostro di Firenze e delle ipotesi investigative portate avanti negli ultimi 30 anni. Brunoro e Pezzan raccontano tutto, da Vincenzo Spalletti alla Pista Sarda, da Pietro Pacciani ai compagni di merende Vanni e Lotti, fino alla pista esoterica, con i possibili collegamenti col caso Narducci. Per orientarsi in un mistero ancora fitto." (Trentino Alto Adige)

"Nella narrazione puntuale dei fatti, paradossalmente laudiolibro riesce ad evocare proprio ciò che dei fatti, in effetti, non si conosce ancora. Parlando dei delitti del mostro di Firenze, credo che ben pochi altri mezzi divulgativi mi avrebbero potuto restituire latmosfera greve, il turbamento sottile e costante e la sensazione di immersione nel racconto che ho provato in prima persona durante lascolto di tutta la fosca vicenda su audiolibro."

Title: Marked for Death

Subtitle: Dying for the Story in the Worlds Most Dangerous Places, aka Murder Without Borders

Author: Terry Gould

Narrator: Byron Wagner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-25-11

Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press Inc.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Publisher's Summary:

Where do journalists find the guts to keep telling the truth in places where truth-telling will get them murdered? Organizations such as the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters sans frontières bring us the death toll from around the world, and that number is truly daunting: since 1992 more than 730 journalists have been killed - nearly three-quarters of them targeted and murdered. Over 85% of the fallen have been local journalists trying to unveil violence and corruption in their own back yards. Worse, 95% of the people who ordered their murder remain unpunished. Who are these journalists who have sacrificed literally everything for the story? Where did they find their courage? Investigative reporter Terry Gould traveled to the five most dangerous countries in which to be a journalist - Iraq, the Philippines, Russia, Colombia and Bangladesh. This audiobook presents Goulds unforgettable portraits of seven murdered journalists who carried on despite death threats from terrorists, corrupt politicians, gangsters and paramilitary leaders. Gould brings us the lovers, the colleagues, the rivals, the critics and even the accused murderers of these courageous men and women, searching for the moment when each of his protagonists understood that they were willing to die in order to get a story out. He finds intriguing and complex reasons for such bravery. Their stories show how selflessly humans can love justice and their fellow citizens; how dogged and resourceful people can be in attempts to thwart injustice; how vital it is to show the defeated and the indifferent, as well as the powerful, and that there really are some things worth dying for. All of Goulds subjects, no matter how fallible or flawed, went to work each morning with the conviction that the calling of journalism was to defend the defenseless. Gould honors their memories by bringing their lives and the stories they worked on to light, telling truth to those who would murder truth-tellers.

Critic Reviews:

"Through his meticulous reporting and his compassionate storytelling, Gould performs a small miracle, a literary resurrection, allowing journalists so cruelly killed to tell their own stories completely and honestly. In an age when journalism is threatened by economic collapse and deep public cynicism, Goulds book reminds us that journalism can be beautiful and meaningful and that its power to combat injustice so great that some journalists around the world are willing to give their lives to tell the truth. (Joel Simon, Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists)

Riepilogo Editore:

Sono circa le nove di sera del 4 maggio 1998 quando una suora sente dei rumori di colpi di arma da fuoco provenire da un appartamento non lontano dal Palazzo Apostolico di Roma. La suora corre e trova la porta dell'appartamento aperta. Si affaccia all'interno e scopre così uno dei più gravi delitti mai compiuti all'interno della città del Vaticano: in un lago di sangue trova il corpo del neo comandante delle guardie svizzere Alois Estermann, di sua moglie Gladys Meza Romero e del vice caporale Cedric Tornay. Per questo orrendo delitto abbiamo una ricostruzione ed una verità ufficiali, ma ancora oggi in molti si domandano come siano andate davvero le cose. Pezzan e Brunoro ripercorrono passo dopo passo questa vicenda per cercare di capire se può esistere una verità alternativa a quella stabilita dai tribunali della Santa Sede, nel tentativo di districare uno dei casi più torbidi ed ingarbugliati della recente storia vaticana.
