Title: Boston Tabloid: The Killing of Robin Benedict Author: Don Stradley Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 14 minutes Release date: January 10, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The disappearance of a twenty-one-year-old woman from a Massachusetts suburb became one of the most discussed crimes of the twentieth century. The discussion intensified when the public learned that Robin Benedict worked as a prostitute in Boston’s notorious red-light district, the “Combat Zone,” and was linked by a trail of blood to a famous professor from Tufts University. When Robin Benedict vanished, the investigation and media circus that gripped the city of Boston hadn’t been seen since the days of the Boston Strangler case. On a Sunday morning in March 1983, a small-time pimp walked into a police station and claimed his girlfriend was missing. He said she had been on her way to visit a client named William Douglas. In the year that followed, the case drew in detectives, state troopers, scores of journalists, and even psychics. But Robin was never found. Boston Tabloid reconstructs a grisly murder and explores one man’s bizarre obsession. In revisiting this legendary crime, Don Stradley consulted journalists involved in the media frenzy, prison authorities, arresting officers, and psychiatrists, all in an effort to unravel a most tangled story. Why was the city, and the nation, swept up in this sordid tale? It remains a grim and fascinating moment in Boston’s history.

Title: [Spanish] - Crímenes sorprendentes en el Vaticano Author: Ricardo Canaletti Narrator: Juan Manuel Abraham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 44 minutes Release date: January 5, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: La Iglesia católica habría querido que estos crímenes permanecieran ocultos o que se olvidasen. Pero en los suntuosos salones y frente al altar de la Basílica de San Pedro también se mintió, también se robó, también se mató. Desde el emperador Constantino hasta el papa Francisco, la Iglesia católica ocultó asesinatos, estafas y sucesos desopilantes. En este libro, Ricardo Canaletti reconstruye los hechos y los narra con el estilo inconfundible y la pasión que lo convirtieron en el periodista de casos criminales más leído de la Argentina. Canaletti esta vez recorre Alejandría, Constantinopla, Cirene, Atenas, Lombardía y Roma; consigue fuentes, archivos históricos y se remonta a la Antigüedad, pero también se mete con escándalos contemporáneos. A la filósofa Hipatia, una mujer culta e independiente, la lincharon los fanáticos instigados por el poder eclesiástico. Otra mujer se sentó en el trono de Pedro y años después parió en plena procesión. Hubo un papa al que llamaban 'Satanás' y otro que había sido pirata. Durante la 'pornocracia', los asuntos se resolvían con favores sexuales. Los papas eran padres de papas. Se torturó hasta la muerte para no pagar deudas. Un sumo pontífice estranguló a otro, y hubo uno más que llevó a juicio al cadáver de su antecesor. En estas páginas están los 'banquetes de las castañas' que organizaba el papa Borgia. Asoman Maquiavelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Giordano Bruno. Y se busca saber qué hay detrás de la repentina y jamás investigada muerte de Juan Pablo I, que se había enfrentado a la masonería y a la corrupción demostrada con la caída del Banco Ambrosiano; y también de la desaparición -aún impune- de la jovencita Emanuela Orlandi, que une el atentado de Juan Pablo II con los servicios de inteligencia y las tumbas compradas por la delincuencia. Crímenes sorprendentes en el Vaticano demuestra en cada caso que al demonio le sientan muy bien los lugares sagrados.

Title: I Did It: The Largest Woman-Run Ponzi Scheme in American History Author: Gina Champion-Cain, Barbara Bry, Neil Senturia Narrator: Barbara Bry, Neil Senturia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 50 minutes Release date: January 3, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: I Did It is the story of Gina Champion-Cain, the mastermind behind the largest woman-led Ponzi scheme in US history—$400 million. This real-life story includes a multitude of participants, banks, hedge funds, egomaniacs, and small-time crooks, all fueled by greed, stupidity, and a keen desire to look the other way. And even when they were looking in the right direction, all of these people and entities saw nothing. Gina was the Penn and Teller of misdirection, acting with caring behavior to other people (while bilking her investors), creating philanthropic endeavors and single-mindedly pursuing her dream of building an empire, taking it public, and cashing out all the investors. In August 2019, Gina’s seven-year program of selling phony liquor license loans came to an end when the SEC, the US Attorney’s Office, and the FBI filed suit and shut it down. In San Diego, Gina, then fifty-four, was an icon. To the outside world, this beautiful, charismatic woman looked as if she had succeeded in a male-dominated good-old-boys club—building an empire that included real estate, restaurants, and retail; she was a guest economics commentator for the San Diego Union-Tribune; and she served on prestigious corporate and nonprofit boards. The City of San Diego even honored her with her own Gina Champion-Cain Day. She cooked dinner for her husband, Steve, walked the dogs on the beach, and was a role model for young women. But in reality, her empire was a house of cards funded with money from a financial fraud.

Title: Code Name Blue Wren: The True Story of America's Most Dangerous Female Spy—and the Sister She Betrayed Author: Jim Popkin Narrator: Jim Popkin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 3, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: The incredible true story of Ana Montes, the most damaging female spy in US history, drawing upon never-before-seen material and to be published upon her release from prison, for readers of Agent Sonya and A Woman of No Importance. Just days after the 9-11 attacks, a senior Pentagon analyst eased her red Toyota Echo into traffic and headed to work. She never saw the undercover cars tracking her every turn. As she settled into her cubicle on the 6th floor of the Defense Intelligence Agency in Washington, FBI Agents and twitchy DIA officers were hiding in nearby offices. For this was the day that Ana Montes--the US Intelligence Community superstar who had just won a prestigious fellowship at the CIA--was to be arrested and publicly exposed as a secret agent for Cuba. Like spies Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen before her, Ana Montes blindsided her colleagues with brazen acts of treason. For nearly 17 years, Montes succeeded in two high-stress jobs. By day, she was one of the government’s top Cuba experts, a buttoned-down GS-14 with shockingly easy access to classified documents. By night, she was on the clock for Fidel Castro, listening to coded messages over shortwave radio, passing US secrets to handlers in local restaurants, and slipping into Havana wearing a wig.  Montes didn’t just deceive her country. Her betrayal was intensely personal. Her mercurial father was a former US Army Colonel. Her brother and sister-in-law were FBI Special Agents. And her only sister, Lucy, also worked her entire career for the Bureau. The highlight of her distinguished 31 years as a Miami-based language specialist: Helping the FBI flush Cuban spies out of the United States. Little did Lucy or her family know that the greatest Cuban spy of all was sitting right next to them at Thanksgivings, baptisms, and weddings. In Code Name Blue Wren, investigative journalist Jim Popkin weaves the tale of two sisters who chose two very different paths, plus the unsung heroes who had to fight to bring Ana to justice. With exclusive access to a “Secret” CIA behavioral profile of Ana, family memoirs, and Ana’s incriminating letters from prison, Popkin reveals the making of a traitor—a woman labelled “one of the most damaging spies in U.S. history” by America’s top counter-intelligence official. After more than two decades in federal prison, Montes will be freed in January 2023. Code Name Blue Wren is a thrilling detective tale, an insider’s look at the clandestine world of espionage, and an intimate exploration of the dark side of betrayal. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: The Early Years II Series: #2 of The Further Author: Steve Hodel Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 8 minutes Release date: January 1, 2023 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: TWENTY YEARS BEFORE SHOCKING THE WORLD IN LOS ANGELES IN 1947 AS “THE BLACK DAHLIA AVENGER” DID GEORGE HODEL TERRORIZE CALIFORNIA BY COMMITTING SOME OF ITS MOST INFAMOUS CRIMES AND SERIAL MURDERS? From the Introduction: In writing George Hill Hodel: “The Early Years,” my original intent was to present all my father’s suspected crimes from the 1920s and 1930s in one edition. I have found this is simply not possible as it would require a book that would dwarf Dostoevsky’s nearly seven-hundred-page opus, Crime and Punishment. Therefore, I will present “The Early Years” in two parts, two editions. This edition is Part II and presents my investigations of his suspected crimes in the 1930s. Note that I said, “suspected crimes.” I want to be crystal clear on this point. My two-part, “Early Years” investigations are just that—a search out of for the truth. …In the presentation of these crimes from the long ago (the first one goes back one hundred years), I make no claim to a “solution.” I am not saying that my father, George Hill Hodel, committed any of these crimes, beyond a “Reasonable Doubt”—which would be the legal requirement to find him guilty. Several of these crimes, without the introduction of hard physical evidence, or DNA, are not solvable. Others have been claimed “solved” by law enforcement and are considered “Case Closed.”…To be clear. These crimes from the Twenties and Thirties did not present themselves to me post-Black Dahlia Avenger published in 2003. I was aware of them and his possible involvement in them as early as the year 2000, a full three years before I presented my father to the world as the killer of Elizabeth “Black Dahlia” Short and the other LA Lone Woman Murders.

Title: [Spanish] - El siglo de las drogas (nueva edición) Author: Luis Astorga Narrator: Beto Moreno Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 33 minutes Release date: December 29, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: A veinte años de su publicación original, la pertinencia de este libro no puede ser mayor: el negocio de las drogas ilegalizadas se encuentra en todos lados. Una nueva edición de una investigación clásica acerca los fármacos prohibidos y la historia de sus usos, las percepciones y las relaciones con los diferentes agentes sociales, desde la época porfiriana hasta nuestros días. Su autor, Luis Astorga, prestigiado investigador y analista del tema, critica de forma abierta la manera prejuiciosa y desinformada de abordarlo, y plantea posibles escenarios del futuro. A veinte años de la publicación de El siglo de las drogas, su pertinencia no puede ser mayor. Las menciones sobre el negocio de las drogas ilegalizadas abundan en la prensa: las disputas entre miembros de organizaciones criminales, la alarmante situación de las cárceles, las acciones violentas de sicarios y la reestructuración de los territorios de venta de sustancias psicoactivas ilícitas. El panorama sigue siendo complicado. Los políticos insisten en que el crimen organizado amenaza la seguridad nacional, aunque a muchos de ellos les conviene su fortalecimiento. Los institutos contra las adicciones se ven limitados por la falta de recursos, y el ciudadano común padece la falta de información de primera mano. La 'guerra contra las drogas' se puede volver una guerra interminable porque delincuencia y poder político han estado unidos históricamente, pero también porque la concepción que se tiene del fenómeno de la venta y el consumo varía de acuerdo con la época donde se ubica. Nuestra visión de drogas como la mariguana, la cocaína y las derivadas del opio cambia al mismo tiempo que nuestra realidad. En este contexto, Luis Astorga presenta un recorrido histórico que va desde el Porfiriato hasta la actualidad sobre los usos, las percepciones y el tráfico de esas sustancias y presenta interrogantes sobre los posibles escenarios del futuro: si la guerra está perdida de antemano, ¿sólo nos queda su legalización?

Title: Operation Underworld: How the Mafia and US Government Teamed Up to Win World War II Author: Matthew Black Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 48 minutes Release date: December 27, 2022 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1942, a rational fear was mounting that New York Harbor was vulnerable to sabotage. If the waterfront was infested with German and Italian agents then the US Navy needed a recourse just as insidious to secure it. Naval intelligence officer Commander Charles Radcliffe Haffenden had the solution: recruit as his own spies, members of La Cosa Nostra. Pier to pier, no one terrified the longshoremen, stevedores, shopkeepers, and boat captains along the harbor better than the Mafia gangs of New York, who controlled the docks in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Haffenden was prepared to make a deal with the devil–the man who put 'organized' into organized crime. Even from his cell in Dannemora State Prison, former Public Enemy #1, Charles 'Lucky' Luciano still had tremendous power. Luciano was willing to wield it for Haffenden. But he wanted something in return—Luciano's contacts in Italy to track the Nazis' movements. Operation Underworld is a tale of espionage and crime like no other, the unbelievable, first-ever account of the Allied war effort's clandestine coalition between the Mafia and the US Government to protect New York, vanquish the Nazis by taking the fight to the enemy in the 1943 US invasion of Sicily.

The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. A little before 7 A.M., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City's east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road. By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice. Contains mature themes.
