    Serial Killer Groupies: True Crimes Collection RJPP, Book 19 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 219min
    Known as "serial killer groupies" or even "prison groupies", a great number of these women have shown a surprising desire to get connected to the serial killer of their choice. A large number of these women have become directly aligned with these killers, and some have even married or gotten engaged with these criminals. It is believed that these women are living vicariously through these high-profile criminals, and enjoy the attention and notoriety in the media. Like many other mental conditions, the treatment varies from medications such as Phenothiazine to psychotherapy. So why are these so-called "groupies" attracted to serial killers? Experts have compiled several reasons why, including: Rescue fantasy - The Groupie believes that he or she can change the killer with love and understanding. Perfect boyfriend/girlfriend - He or she knows where their criminal lover is at all times (in prison). She can love him without being jealous or having to deal with trust issues. Nurturing - Most female groupies have said that they see the little boy in these serial killers and that they want to console and nurture them like a mother would do with her son. Drama - Many women and men need to have drama in their lives. They get engrossed in the trial of a serial killer, then an infatuation begins which follows sending letters to the killer. Hybristophilia - Sexual arousal of those who commit violent crimes. Male figure - Several female groupies have acknowledged that they were raised without a father or male figure, abused and neglected, they look to the serial killer to fill that need. Self-esteem - Some women have very low self-esteem and believe that they can't find a man. Since these killers are in prison and lonely themselves, those women will target them for attention and a fantasy relationship. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Kline.

    A Blind Goddess: A Billy Boyle World War II Mystery, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 613min
    March, 1944: US Army Lieutenant Billy Boyle, back in England after a dangerous mission in Italy, is due for a little R&R, and also a promotion. But the now-Captain Boyle doesn't get to kick back and enjoy his leisure time because two upsetting cases fall into his lap at once. The first is a personal request from an estranged friend: Sergeant Eugene "Tree" Jackson, who grew up with Billy in Boston, is part of the 617th Tank Destroyers, the all-African American battalion poised to make history by being the US Army's first combatant African American company. But making history isn't easy, and the 617 faces racism at every turn. One of Tree's men, a gunner named Angry Smith, has been arrested for a crime he almost certainly didn't commit, and faces the gallows if the real killer isn't found. Tree knows US top brass won't care about justice in this instance, and asks Billy if he'll look into it. But Billy can't use any of his leave to investigate, because British intelligence agent Major Cosgrove puts him on a bizarre and delicate case. A British accountant has been murdered in an English village, and he may or may not have had some connection with the US Army - Billy doesn't know, because Cosgrove won't tell him. Billy is supposed to go into the village and investigate the murder, but everything seems fishy - he's not allowed to interrogate certain key witnesses, and his friends and helpers keep being whisked away. Billy is confused about whether Cosgrove even wants him to solve the murder, and why. The good news is the mysterious murder gives Billy an excuse to spend time in and around the village where Tree and his unit are stationed. If he's lucky, maybe he can get to the bottom of both mysteries - and save more than one innocent life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Berkrot.

    Three Strand Pearl Necklace; The Divorce of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, Edinburgh 1963: Four Scots Trials, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 137min
    The divorce proof which shocked Britain in the so-called "Swinging '60s" when the 11th Duke of Argyll divorced his second wife Margaret amidst enough dirty linen to give the "investigative journalists" of the time enough copy to last for decades.The Duchess was the Paris Hilton of her time but in a more judgmental age, and like her modern counterpart, she was wealthy enough to indulge herself in her pursuit of pleasure and excitement. She paid the price financially then socially when His Grace produced the infamous "headless man" Polaroids at the divorce proof, ensuring her eternal ridicule and sparking off a debate about the link between morality and national decline.Even before the hearing, both parties amply demonstrated that the first casualty of divorce is often dignity. The Duchess plotted to have the Duke's sons disinherited by spreading malicious rumors and feigning pregnancy; she urged friends to commit perjury in a case linked with the divorce, and as the marriage disintegrated, she openly began new relationships, seemingly unaware of her scheming husband's plans to ruin her.The Duke tried to set her up as the "guilty" party, arranged for her car to be bugged, sold the "secrets" of his sex life with the Duchess to a sensationalist Sunday newspaper and even had his manhood compared with that of the "headless man" to prove that his wayward spouse was pleasuring a partner other than him.Even the legal personnel contributed to the absurdity of the occasion with the judge describing Her Grace as having a "sex perversion", and - creating an air of disbelief that the case was a mere 50 years ago - counsel earnestly submitting that an allegation of sexual liaison as early as nine o' clock in the morning was inherently unlikely.Yet what degenerated into a squalid and desperate contest had begun in such romantic fashion when the Duke and his bride-to-be spent every hour together, her falling in love with a "troub ungekürzt.

    ISIS: Attack on America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 114min
    ISIS is a name that strikes fear into the hearts of all of us. At first it was just another weird name from another distant part of the world where people made killing a way of life. Soon though ISIS has become the word that comes to mind when we see an explosion on television, or another street lined with dead bodies. Unlike so many of the other bad guys in the world like the North Koreans and Iranians, ISIS is in our back gardens. It has made fashionable an ideology that wants to destroy the West and quite literally take over the world under their black flag. Usually groups that commit ethnic cleansing and routinely force women into sexual slavery are unanimously hated. But young men and women from all over the Western world have made the long journey to join ISIS. To pick up the mantle of Islamic terrorist. Hundreds of them. What's worse is that ISIS sympathizers aren't just going to Syria; they're springing up here in the USA and other Western countries and killing civilians in lone wolf attacks. What little good news there to be found, is that we can stop them, and this book here is to help you find out how. When the now-monthly terrorist attack is announced on the news and we inevitably hear it was ISIS or some other Islamic terrorist organization, we start immediately hearing screams of #notallmuslims. Before anyone can even question why these people want to kill we are told we are racist for even thinking such a thing. But it's this political correctness and this type of liberal chauvinism that is making fighting ISIS all the harder. Attention is always turned away from ISIS, but it must not be and the first step in making sure this doesn't happen is in understanding what ISIS is, what radical Islam really looks like, and what we can do about it. ungekürzt.

    The Spanish Armada: The History and Legacy of Spain's Notorious Naval Debacle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
    My loving people, we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourself to armed multitudes for fear of treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people.... I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any Prince of Europe should dare to invade the borders of my realm. (Queen Elizabeth I) On July 12, 1588, the legendary Spanish Armada started for the English channel. The Spanish plan was to take this invasion, led by the duke of Parma, to the coast of southeast England, where they would be released to conquer Elizabethan England for the Spanish monarch and Catholic Christendom. The Armada included over 150 ships, 8,000 sailors, and 18,000 soldiers, and it boasted the firepower of 1,500 brass guns and 1,000 iron guns. Just leaving port took the entire Armada two days. As everyone who has been taught history now knows, the Armada was one of the most famous military debacles in history. Now, whether it was simple mathematical miscalculation or plain bad luck, coupled with English fire ships assailing the Spanish ships, the Armada was decisively defeated. The Armada ultimately found its reluctant way home in awful condition, having permanently lost over one third of the ships. And on the Irish coast the Armada had suffered further losses. Not yet knowing what had happened to the Armada, internal English gentry and militias sought to secure and protect England. This was when Elizabeth I consolidated her image as mother-protector of her people. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maurice R. Cravens II.

    Animal: The Bloody Rise and Fall of the Mob's Most Feared Assassin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    From the author of Boston Strong: A City’s Triumph Over Tragedy “Joseph Barboza is the most dangerous individual known.” -FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, 1965  Joe Barboza knew that there were two requirements for getting inducted into the Mafia. You had to be Sicilian. And you had to commit a contract killing. The New Bedford-born mobster was a proud Portuguese, not Sicilian, but his dream to be part of La Cosa Nostra proved so strong that he thought he could create a loophole. If he killed enough men, if he did enough of the Mafia’s dirtiest biddings, then they would have no choice but to make him a Made Man.  Barboza’s brutal rise during one of the deadliest mob wars in US history became the stuff of legend, both on the bloodied streets of Boston and in the offices of the FBI and the US Attorney General. He took sick joy in his crimes, and it became increasingly difficult for the mob to keep the Animal on his leash. But soon the hunter became the hunted. Betrayed by the mob and now on the run, Boston’s most notorious contract killer forged a Faustian bargain with two unscrupulous FBI agents - a pact that would transform the US criminal justice system. From false testimony and manipulated evidence that sent mob leaders to death row, to the creation of the Witness Protection Program so the feds could protect their prized, cold-blooded witness, this was the horrific, dramatic first act in a story of murder and FBI corruption still being played out today in the news and the courtroom with the capture and trial of Whitey Bulger. Barboza’s legacy, buried for years thanks to the murders or deaths of its participants, is finally coming to light and being told in its unvarnished brutality by one of America’s most respected true crime writers. ungekürzt.
