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.

Title: Atrocity on the Atlantic: Attack on a Hospital Ship During the Great War Author: Nate Hendley Narrator: Adam Barr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 1 minute Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: How a German submarine sank a Canadian military hospital ship during the First World War and sparked outrage. On the evening of June 27, 1918, the Llandovery Castle—an unarmed, clearly marked hospital ship used by the Canadian military—was torpedoed off the Irish Coast by U-Boat 86, a German submarine. 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.

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.

Strafverteidiger Bernd Hesse kennt und erzählt die Geschichten von ihrem Ausgangspunkt an und in allen Verästelungen, wahre Kriminalfälle aus dem Bereich der 'Organisierten Kriminalität', Mädchenhandel, Drogenschmuggel; Taten auch, die aus tragischen Verwicklungen 'ganz normaler Bürger' resultierten.

Schützt der Geständige seine Familie?

So auch in dem Fall eines Jurastudenten, der seine Eltern ermordete, sie mit der Kettensäge zerteilte und abschließend verbrannte. Ungeschönt erläutert Hesse in seinem Buch Hergänge brutaler Taten, Täterprofile und deren Verhandlungen vor Gericht.

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». El País «Una especie de Fargo en la Garrotxa». Diari de Girona

Title: The King of Diamonds: The Search for the Elusive Texas Jewel Thief Author: Rena Pederson Narrator: Erin Dion Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 42 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.8 of Total 5 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: As a string of high-profile jewel thefts went unsolved during the Swinging Sixties, the press dubbed the elusive thief the King of Diamonds. 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? As one socialite put it, “It was a very peculiar business.”
