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». VanityFair «La ciudad de los vivos da miedo; entra en casa, se adueña deltiempo, rompe las conversaciones y hace que cualquier otra historia sea marginal». Harper'sBazaar

Title: The Deadly Path: How Operation Fast & Furious and Bad Lawyers Armed Mexican Cartels Author: Keelin Macgregor, Peter J. 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. This book provides his insider's account of the scandal that stands as one of the worst stains on federal law enforcement.

Title: Ghostwriter Author: Meredith Carson Narrator: Jen Mccool, Ryan Haugen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 6 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The circumstances surrounding the bizarre photograph initially inspiring Meredith Carson to ghostwrite Jack Wagoner’s horrifying account are now included in this audiobook and remain unexplained. When Meredith Carson accepted the task of ghostwriting the frightening narrative you are about to hear, she had no idea how that decision would affect her. Miss Carson shared with other members of the World Codex Staff that, at times, while transcribing Jack Wagoner’s spellbinding story, she felt like Agent Starling from THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Meredith Carson’s unnerving experience documenting Wagoner’s struggle for survival in the Klamath Mountains and the subsequent events is astonishing.

Gates Narrator: Ken Teutsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 2 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: It's been said the code was never deciphered. That's not true. As an introvert growing up in Lakehurst, NJ, the tragic loss of a close friend forced me to understand how consequence and conscience are akin to the Roman god Janus—both sides of the same coin. 1972 became the genesis of my father’s immersion into the macabre Grace Cohen case, a troubled young girl who wrestled with her inner demons and vanished from Horicon Lake. Her vexing disappearance thrust the rural town famous for the Hindenburg disaster into a maze of deadly nuance, rendering it ground zero for the mesmerizing Zodiac Killer case. No one could ever have imagined the mystery, embroiled in international espionage and secret encryptions, would by six degrees of separation reveal the clandestine motive of Hindenburg’s destruction and unlock the enigma hidden within the “unbreakable” Somerton Man Code.

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.

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. It was the hour when all my fears and all the pain of this world collided together and He was there...putting back together all the pieces, one step at a time.
