Title: [German] - Und dann verschwinde ich in die Nacht: Der Golden-State-Killer Author: William Thorp Narrator: Sebastian Seidel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 13 minutes Release date: August 23, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Rancho Cordova, Kalifornien, 1974: Ein Einbrecher versetzt das sonst so idyllische Städtchen in Angst und Schrecken. Wie ein Schatten bewegt er sich über die Dächer, steigt in Wohnungen ein und prügelt die Haustiere brutal zu Tode. »Cordova Cat Burglar« wird er genannt – nur einer von vielen Spitznamen, die ihm im Laufe der 70er- und 80er-Jahre gegeben werden, als er verschiedene Städte an der Westküste terrorisiert. »Visalia Ransacker«, »East Area Rapist«, »Original Night Stalker«, »Golden State Killer« – die Bezeichnungen spiegeln die wachsende Brutalität seiner Taten wider. Vom Einbrecher wird er zum Serienvergewaltiger, später zum kaltblütigen Mörder. Erst Jahre später, als die DNA-Analyse immer flächendeckender angewendet wird, können seine Taten miteinander in Verbindung gebracht werden. Doch bis der Täter tatsächlich identifiziert und gefasst wird, vergehen noch einmal Jahrzehnte. Auf der Basis akribischer Recherchen und intensiver Gespräche mit Ermittler*innen, Angehörigen und Opfern zeichnet William Thorp das Leben des Golden- State-Killers und die Jagd auf ihn nach.

Title: Who Killed Una Lynskey?: A True Story of Murder, Vigilante Justice and the Garda ‘Heavy Gang’ Author: Mick Clifford Narrator: Ciaran O'brien Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: August 22, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A true story of murder and vengeance, a shattered community and a miscarriage of justice that echoes down the decades October 1971. Nineteen-year-old Una Lynskey vanishes near her home in Co. Meath. In the weeks that follow, and on flimsy grounds, gardaí identify three young local men as suspects. Within days of her body being found, one of the three is beaten to death by members of Una’s family. The entire sequence of events is a tragedy in a quiet rural community - the wrong men jailed, no one ever facing justice - and becomes one of the most notorious failures in Irish policing and judicial history. In Who Killed Una Lynskey?, award-winning journalist Mick Clifford has built a compelling portrait of the case from interviews with the surviving main players, as well as exclusive access to the files of a private investigator who uncovered information the gardaí missed - or ignored. A timely, humane and compulsive read, this is a ground-breaking account of the botched investigation and its devastating consequences for not just four devastated families, but also the reputation of the gardaí. © Mick Clifford 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024

Title: The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty Author: Valerie Bauerlein Narrator: Maggie-Meg Reed, Valerie Bauerlein Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 52 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.89 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 4.6 of Total 5 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: “Valerie Bauerlein’s blistering, unforgettable account of the Murdaugh saga leaves no stone unturned, helping us finally truly understand the man at the center of one of the century’s wildest crime stories.”—Robert Kolker, author of Hidden Valley Road and Lost Girls Power, privilege, and blood—this is the definitive and thrilling true story of Alex Murdaugh’s violent downfall, from a veteran Wall Street Journal reporter who has become an authority on the case.   Alex Murdaugh was a benevolent dictator—the president of the South Carolina trial lawyers’ association, a political boss, a part-time prosecutor, and a partner in his family’s law firm. He was always ready with a favor, a drink, and an invitation to Moselle, his family’s 1,700-acre hunting estate. The Murdaugh name ignited respect—and fear—for a hundred miles. When he murdered his wife, Maggie, and son Paul at Moselle on a dark summer night, the fragile façade of Alex’s world could no longer hold. His forefathers had covered up a midnight suicide at a remote railroad crossing, a bootlegging ring run from a courthouse, and the attempted murder of a pregnant lover. Alex, too, almost walked away from his unspeakable crimes with his reputation intact, but his downfall was secured by a twist of fate, some stray mistakes, and a fateful decision by an old friend who’d finally seen enough. Why would a man who had everything kill his wife and grown son? To unwind the roots of Alex’s ruin, award-winning journalist Valerie Bauerlein reported not just from the courthouse every day but also along the backroads and through the tidal marshes of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. When the jurors made their pilgrimage to the crime scene, trying to envision Maggie and Paul’s last moments, she walked right behind them, sensing the ghosts that haunt the Murdaughs’ now-shattered legacy. Through masterful research and cinematic writing, The Devil at His Elbow is a transporting journey through Alex’s life, the night of the murders, and the investigation that culminated in a trial that held tens of millions spellbound. With her stunning insights and fearless instinct for the truth, Bauerlein uncovers layers of the Murdaugh murder case that have not been told. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with a list of major characters, a map, and acknowledgments from the book.

Title: Death Row Welcomes You: Visiting Hours in the Shadow of the Execution Chamber Author: Steven Hale Narrator: Tim Fannon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 13 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 2018, after nearly a decade's hiatus, the state of Tennessee began executing death row inmates, bucking national trends that showed the death penalty in decline. In less than two years, the state put seven men to death. It was an execution spree unlike any seen in Tennessee since the 1940s, only brought to a halt by a global pandemic. Award-winning journalist Steven Hale was the leading reporter on these executions, covering them both locally for the Nashville Scene alt-weekly and nationally for The Appeal. In Death Row Welcomes You, Hale traces the lives of condemned prisoners at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution—and the people who come to visit them. What brought them—the visitors and convicted murderers alike—to death row? The visitors are, for the most part, not activists—or at least they did not start out that way. Nor are they the sort of killer-obsessed death row groupies such settings sometimes attract. In fact, in most cases they are average people whose lives, not to mention their views on the death penalty, were turned upside down by a face-to-face meeting with a death row prisoner. Combining the fascinating topics of crime, death, and life inside prison, Hale writes with humanity, empathy, and insight earned by befriending death row prisoners . . . and standing witness to their final moments.

Title: [Spanish] - Todo a la luz: El caso criminal que México dejó en la oscuridad Author: Karla De La Cuesta Narrator: Nycolle González, Karla De La Cuesta, Karen Basurto, Aressi Suástegui Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 8 minutes Release date: August 20, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: «Ha llegado el momento de mostrar lo que ha sido ocultado, y espero que suene y retumbehasta donde tenga que escucharse, que dinamite los muros de la mentira y de la impunidad, porque la verdad y la justicia tienen que salir a la luz.» En 1989 la industria delespectáculo posicionó a Gloria Trevi como un fenómeno musical que marcaría la historia del entretenimiento mexicano, con una irreverencia no vista en los escenarios hasta ese momento. Pero lo que no se analizaba —porque no se sabía a fondo, estaba escondido de manera perspicaz o no estábamos preparados como sociedad para entenderlo— es que detrás se encontraba tal vez uno de los casos más crueles de la historia del espectáculo, no sólo en nuestro país, sino en el mundo entero. Karlade la Cuesta fue una de las víctimas de abuso y explotación. Hoy desde una tribuna distinta, como abogada, activista y con la experiencia de haber estudiado por años múltiples casos de víctimas de estos delitos, tuvo acceso al expediente judicial completo —casi una tonelada de fojas— del caso en contra de Sergio Andrade, Gloria Trevi y Mary Boquitas, y con ello exponeen este libro una radiografía precisa de los abusos, torturas, esclavitud y explotación que vivieron más de 40 adolescentes y jóvenes. El viaje de Karla desde la total indefensión hasta la supervivencia es un testimonio de la resiliencia del ser humano. Todo a la luz no busca sólo alzar la voz en forma de denuncia, sino también servir de apoyo para quienes vivenuna situación similar; estelibro es un poderoso recordatorio de la importancia de hablar en contra del abuso y reclamar frente a la opresión.

For the next thirty years he was a numbers king, scalper, loan shark, enforcer, and drug smuggler. He hijacked trucks, fenced stolen goods, and trafficked in pornography. But Joey really made his name as a Mafia assassin, racking up thirty-eight cold-blooded hits—thirty-five for cash, three for revenge. In Killer, Joey tells the true story of life in organized crime.

In this no-holds-barred account, he reveals the brutal truth behind the Hollywood fantasy.

Title: White Robes and Broken Badges: Infiltrating the KKK and Exposing the Evil Among Us Author: Joe Moore Narrator: Roger Wayne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 51 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In this shocking memoir, a former FBI informant reveals what he learned from successfully infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan in the backwoods of the Sunshine State, uncovering details about the hate group’s structure and its modern far-right spinoffs which are operating to achieve the same goal: inciting a second civil war by whatever violent means necessary. “We need you back.” It was a call FBI informant and former Army sniper Joe Moore never expected to get. He’d already infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan once before, and his contributions prevented an assassination attempt targeting then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. Moore nearly lost his life in the process. But now, the FBI needed Moore’s help once again. In White Robes and Broken Badges, Moore reveals the astounding true story of how he became one of the most entrenched and valuable undercover agents in the FBI’s history. Gripping, told with astonishing detail, this heart pounding and darkly propulsive memoir vividly recounts how he infiltrated the “Invisible Empire” at the highest levels—not once, but twice—becoming a Grand Knighthawk, overseeing security, defense, and internal communications for the domestic terrorist group across Florida and Georgia. Moore makes clear how the seeds of violence and hate spawned the tragedy in Charlottesville, the failed January 6 Capitol coup, and the growing threat posed by extremist militias—including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and others. Going undercover, Moore discovered the shocking connections between the KKK and law enforcement across Florida—police officers, prison guards, and sheriff’s deputies who all belonged to the Klan—and eventually exposed the terrifying presence of right-wing extremists throughout law enforcement today. Moore reflects on the steep personal costs of immersing himself in the Klan’s racist ideology and twisted rituals—and its effect on himself and his family—while secretly providing the FBI with invaluable information on the Klan’s inner workings, murderous plots, and plans for civil war. With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin, White Robes and Broken Badges is a comprehensive and unprecedented look at a growing threat in America and an urgent call-to-action—because ultimately, the answers to healing the divides in this country lie in its perilous history.

Title: In the Wind: The Disappearance of Janice Starr Author: Ron Peterson Jr. Narrator: Kyle Tait Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 16 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1981, detective Kay Schucker was the lead investigator in the high-profile missing persons case of Old Dominion University student Janice Starr. The beautiful coed disappeared without a trace from ODU's Norfolk, Virginia campus. Among the only leads was Janice's diary, which included detailed journal entries about her daily activities. As Kay studied the diary—going several years back—she learned that Janice, a US Army veteran, had faced the same challenges in the military that Kay did in law enforcement. They were both women trying to succeed in a man's world. Feeling a kinship toward Janice, Kay became consumed with unraveling the mystery of Janice's disappearance and possible death. As the investigation unfolded, Kay began to suspect that Janice had an affair with her ROTC professor at ODU, Army captain Dwight Beddingfield—a well-respected family man married with three kids. Kay was warned by superiors to tread lightly in her investigation of Beddingfield and cautioned not to dig too deeply. But she soon uncovered a life insurance scheme and discovered that Janice had been assigned a series of dangerous tasks by Captain Beddingfield. Did these circumstances play a role in Janice's demise? Was the highly regarded Beddingfield actually a killer? If so, what did he do with Janice's remains?

Title: [Dutch; Flemish] - We regelen het zelf wel: De Brabantse onderwereld, een kijkje achter de deur van de drugsschuur van Europa Author: Bram Endedijk Narrator: Ludo Van Der Winkel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 51 minutes Release date: August 9, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: De onderwereld heeft Brabant in zijn greep         Brabant is de drugsschuur van Europa; jaarlijks wordt er voor 1 miljard euro aan wiet geproduceerd. De criminaliteit in het zuiden is een bedrijfstak, die al jaren kan voortbestaan doordat boven- en onderwereld zich hand in hand weinig lijken aan te trekken van het gezag. Hoe kan dat en waarom gebeurt dat in Brabant?   In verschillende dorpjes in het zuiden, zoals het kleine Hulten, lijkt alle criminaliteit samen te komen: - liquidaties - politie-invallen - drugsproductie - georganiseerde motorclubs die doen en laten wat ze willen - wapenhandel   Steeds vaker zijn in kleine gemeenschappen recreatieparken, jachthavens, verlaten industrieterreinen en woonwagenparken plekken van zorg. De trend is al jaren zichtbaar.   Journalist Bram Endedijk laat zien wat de oorzaken zijn van deze trend en concludeert dat de onderwereld zich diep heeft ingevreten in de Brabantse samenleving. De typische cultuur van Brabant 'ons kent ons en we regelen het wel onder elkaar', de historische factoren en de infrastructuur maken dat de Brabantse misdaad al jaren een hoofdpijndossier is voor de overheid. Het boek geeft op deze manier een opmerkelijk beeld van de wanpraktijken in het zuiden van het land.
