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.

Title: The Moments We Stand: In Chains Author: Ashlee A Boyson Narrator: Ashlee A Boyson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 42 minutes Release date: February 4, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Every life has trials. I just never thought mine would lead me to be the victim of an actual trial—a murder trial.

I just knew deep down it would be the moment of peace I had longed for—but as that judge stood to announce the verdict, the emotions that followed were not any I could have ever planned. Truth is . . . nobody ever plans to be a victim. Ashlee shares intimate parts of her healing journey in her 3rd book, The Moments We Stand: In Chains.

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. Dieser erste Band aus der großen Bettauer-Retrospektive legt den Grundstein, dem durch die Verbotspolitik des NS-Regimes fast in Vergessenheit geratenen Bettauer wieder eine ihm gebührende Bühne zu bieten.

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'. Carlos Lehder Rivas

Title: Double Life: The Shattering Affair between Chief Judge Sol Wachtler and Socialite Joy Silverman Author: Linda Wolfe Narrator: Qarie Marshall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: He was the top justice of New York’s highest court. She was a stunning socialite and his wife’s step-cousin. In 1993, Sol Wachtler was convicted of blackmail and extortion against Joy Silverman, his former mistress. How did a respected jurist and one of the most prominent men in America end up serving time in prison? Linda Wolfe starts at the beginning—from Wachtler’s modest Brooklyn upbringing through his courtship and marriage to Joan Wolosoff, the only child of a wealthy real-estate developer. Joy Fererh was three and a half when her father walked out. When she and Sol met, he was fifty-five and nearing the pinnacle of his legal career. She was a thirty-something stay-at-home mother who, with Sol’s help, made a career for herself as a Republican Party fundraiser. They kept their affair a secret—until an explosive mix of sex, power, betrayal, and prescription-drug abuse set the stage for the tabloid headlines of the decade.

Title: [French] - Ne réveille pas les enfants Author: Ariane Chemin Narrator: Vanessa Bile-Audouard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 36 minutes Release date: January 25, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: La sœur jumelle. Puis la mère. Puis la petite fille. Puis le fils adolescent, et enfin le père. Le 24 mars 2022 une famille française se jette du septième étage de son balcon, face au lac Léman, à Montreux, en Suisse. “Suicide collectif”, concluent presque aussitôt les enquêteurs, malgré la présence de deux enfants mineurs. Un an plus tard, le dossier est clos. Les autorités ont posé une chape sur le “mystère de Montreux”, un peu comme soixante ans plus tôt un cercueil fut scellé sans autre forme de procès sur le corps du grand-père des jumelles, l'écrivain Mouloud Feraoun, assassiné par l'OAS aux derniers jours de la guerre d'Algérie. Quel scénario s'est imposé à cette famille lorsque la police a frappé à sa porte ? D'où lui vient sa “grande méfiance à l'égard de l'État” ? Pourquoi faudrait-il laisser à cette tragédie sa “part de mystère”, comme l'enjoint le commissaire qui commente l'affaire ? Peut-on relier des morts par-delà les pays et les sépultures ?

Title: Death in Old Mexico: The 1789 Dongo Murders and How They Shaped the History of a Nation Author: Nicole Von Germeten Narrator: Stacy Gonzalez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 8 minutes Release date: January 23, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In a Mexico City mansion on October 23, 1789, Don Joaquín Dongo and ten of his employees were brutally murdered by three killers armed with machetes. Investigators worked tirelessly to find the perpetrators, who were publicly executed two weeks later. Labelled the 'crime of the century,' these events and their aftermath have intrigued writers of fiction and nonfiction for over two centuries. Using a vast range of sources, Nicole von Germeten recreates a paper trail of Enlightenment-era greed and savagery, and highlights how the violence of the Mexican judiciary echoed the acts of the murderers. The Spanish government conducted dozens of executions in Mexico City's central square in this era, revealing how European imperialism in the Americas influenced perceptions of violence and how it was tolerated, encouraged, or suppressed. An evocative history, Death in Old Mexico provides a compelling new perspective on late colonial Mexico City.
