Title: Pro Bono

Author: Jeff McArthur

Narrator: Jeff McArthur

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-03-17

Publisher: Bandwagon Audio

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:

In 1958, 19-year-old Charlie Starkweather went on a murder spree that paralyzed Nebraska, shocked the nation, and left 11 people dead. With him when he was captured was his 14-year-old ex-girlfriend Caril Fugate. The question soon arose: Was Caril a kidnapped victim or a heartless accomplice?

Appointed to her case, Attorney John McArthur initially accepted the assignment out of a sense of constitutional duty. But as he delved deeper, he found that the truth was far more complicated than anyone was letting on. Up against incredible odds, and with a strong conviction of her innocence, McArthur remained with Caril and fought for her freedom for 18 years. For this service, he took no pay, accepting the case pro bono.

This audiobook follows the long struggle of McArthur, his partner Merril Reller, and John's son, James, as they took on the Nebraska legal system and a public that had already determined Caril's guilt before ever hearing a word of testimony. The story continues through all it influenced, such as Stephen King, who became a horror writer because of it, Bruce Springsteen, who wrote a whole album about it, Terrence Malick, Oliver Stone, Martin Sheen, and Peter Jackson, who wrote his first major movie based on the Starkweather-Fugate incident.

Pro Bono explores aspects of this incredible story that have never been revealed before, and sheds new light on these terrifying and complex events.

Title: The Dark Side

Author: Clive Small, Tom Gilling

Narrator: Peter Hosking

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-01-17

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:

A fierce and compelling exposé of organised crime and the role of a senior law enforcement officer in Australia's multibillion-dollar drug trade.

'Each year at least $10 billion is laundered in and through Australia. Much of this money is derived from illicit drugs.'

Hooked on the limitless profits of the drug trade, organised crime has grown so powerful that it now poses a major threat to Australia's national security. Clive Small and Tom Gilling show how Australian crime gangs, in partnership with violent international syndicates, have exploited lax law enforcement and corruption on the nation's waterfront to import narcotics on a vast scale from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.

The authors reveal for the first time the corrupt history of Mark Standen, the senior investigator at the New South Wales Crime Commission whose conviction on drug importation charges sparked Australia's biggest law-enforcement crisis since the Wood royal commission. In the process they expose the cover-ups, strategic blunders and missed opportunities that continue to make Australia a soft target for international drug traffickers.

Title: Foreign Policy at the Periphery

Author: Bevan Sewell, Phillip Dow, Maria Ryan, Robert J. McMahon Ph.D., David Ekbladh, Maria Ryan

Narrator: Gary Roelofs

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Genres: Nonfiction, World Affairs

Summary:

As American interests assumed global proportions after 1945, policy makers were faced with the challenge of prioritizing various regions and determining the extent to which the United States was prepared to defend and support them. Superpowers and developing nations soon became inextricably linked and decolonizing states such as Vietnam, India, and Egypt assumed a central role in the ideological struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. As the 20th century came to an end, many of the challenges of the Cold War became even more complex as the Soviet Union collapsed and new threats arose.

Featuring original essays by leading scholars, Foreign Policy at the Periphery examines relationships among new nations and the United States from the end of the Second World War through the global war on terror. Rather than reassessing familiar flashpoints of US foreign policy, the contributors explore neglected but significant developments such as the efforts of evangelical missionaries in the Congo, the 1958 stabilization agreement with Argentina, Henry Kissinger's policies toward Latin America during the 1970s, and the financing of terrorism in Libya via petrodollars. Blending new, internationalist approaches to diplomatic history with newly released archival materials, Foreign Policy at the Periphery brings together diverse strands of scholarship to address compelling issues in modern world history.

The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky. Authors also include Andrew Rotter, Alan McPherson, Simon Dalby, Mary Ann Heiss, Ryan Irwin, Dustin Walcher, Tanya Harmer, David Ryan, and Hal Brands.

Title: Murder of Innocence

Author: Joel Kaplan, George Papajohn, Eric Zorn

Narrator: Gary Tiedemann

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-17

Publisher: Crossroad Press

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:

Early on a May morning in 1988, Laurie Dann, a 30-year-old, profoundly unhappy product of the wealthy North Shore suburb of Chicago, loaded her father's car with a cache of handguns, incendiary chemicals, and arsenic-laced food. Driven by fear and hate, she was going to make something terrible happen.

Before the end of the day, Dann had blazed a murderous trail of poison, fire, and bullets through the unsuspecting town of Winnetka, Illinois, and other North Shore suburbs. She murdered an eight-year-old boy and critically wounded five other children inside an elementary school. It finally took a massed force of armed police to end the killing.

The shocking story of innocence destroyed by a rich young babysitter inexplicably gone mad made headlines all across the nation and inspired at least two psychotic killers to follow her example. What lead her to do it? Could she have been stopped? The case raised a host of agonizing questions that have remained unanswered - until now. In this book, three Chicago Tribune reporters who covered the Laurie Dann tragedy have pulled together all the available police evidence, unearthed valuable psychiatric information, and interviewed at length scores of people who knew Dann, many of whom had never before spoken to the media about this case. Despite clear and ominous warning signs, a young woman of beauty and privilege was allowed to deteriorate and go slowly berserk - and no one stopped her. Her parents, her doctors, and the police officers who knew her pathological behavior all failed her at critical times. By its passivity and silence, a community comfortable and quiet on the surface, yet reluctant to admit its underlying flaws, became an unwitting accomplice to the final rampage of Laurie Dann. Murder of Innocence is a searing portrayal of a family - and a society - unable to cope, and of a young woman who wanted all too desperately only to be loved.

Title: Vanished

Author: Andrew J. Clark

Narrator: Charles D. Baker

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-17

Publisher: Andrew J. Clark

Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime

Summary:

People go missing every day. According to newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, this figure could be as high as 8 million people every single year. While some people are quickly found or return home of their own accord, others simply vanish into the night. Families are left wondering where their loved ones have gone while the police desperately try to put together any clues they come across. While a good number of people make it home safe and sound, others are never seen again.

The aim of this book is to examine the details of the missing. By looking into names, dates, backgrounds, causes, and explanations, we hope to gain insight into the myriad reasons people might have for disappearing. Of course, some people want to vanish while others have the decision made on their behalf. Murder, bankruptcy, gangsters, money, and love. Sometimes, the reasons are never known. What is clear, however, is just how difficult it can be to find someone who does not want to be found.

Some of these cases have become famous, some of them have become legendary. A few of them might be entirely unknown. We will cover the stories of people like James Squillante, Michael Rockefeller, Richey Edwards, and Bruno Breguet. We will meet gangsters, hitmen, rock stars, and regular working people. As we will discover, missing people come in all shapes and sizes. Often, though, it is the paths they take that differentiate them from the rest. These are a selected few of the most interesting, worrying, and captivating stories of people who have vanished.

Length: 1 hr and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-17

Publisher: Hector Z. Gregory

Genres: Nonfiction, Unexplained Phenomena

Summary:

Haunted houses are scattered across America, some more effective at attracting and retaining spirits than others. The sheer variety of ghosts is stunning - there are the malicious spirits, the angry and restless ghosts, and the benevolent and even positive apparitions.

Paranormal investigators have used sophisticated equipment to record and understand the ghosts and spirits they found in each haunted house. Despite all that, they are still not sure where they gain their energy or how they function.

The ghosts mentioned in this collection are mostly benevolent and intend no harm to anyone. There are a few spirits that go as far as to be protective and supportive instead of meddling and causing havoc.

Sometimes, the spirits of people who had spent a pleasant lifetime in their house refuse to cross over to the other side and prefer to stay on in their house. Such spirits are spotted and marveled at by experts, visitors, staff, and owners.
