Title: The Nazis Next Door: How America Became a Safe Haven for Hitler’s Men
Author: Eric Lichtblau
Narrator: David De Vries
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 10 hours 58 minutes
Release date: October 29, 2024
Genres: True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
Read the history behind the series THE HUNTERS (starring Al Pacino) in this “captivating book rooted in first-rate research” (New York Times Book Review) that tells the true story of how America became home to thousands of Nazi war criminals. For the first time, once-secret government records and interviews tell the full story of the thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—who came to the United States after World War II and quietly settled into new lives. Many gained entry on their own as self-styled war “refugees.” But some had help from the U.S. government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler’s minions to work as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers, whitewashing their histories. Only years after their arrival did private sleuths and government prosecutors begin trying to identify the hidden Nazis. Now, relying on a trove of newly disclosed documents and scores of interviews, Eric Lichtblau reveals this shocking, shameful, and little-known chapter of postwar history. New York Times bestseller — Espionage category “Disturbing.” — Salon “Engaging.” — Chicago Tribune “A gripping chronicle.” — Times of Israel “Riveting . . . An important, fascinating read.” — Jewish Book Council

Title: Opus: Dark money, a secretive cult, and its mission to remake our world
Author: Gareth Gore
Narrator: Gareth Gore
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 13 hours 55 minutes
Release date: October 24, 2024
Genres: True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
A thrilling exposé recounting how members of Opus Dei — a secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic sect — pushed its radical agenda within the Church and around the globe, using billions of dollars siphoned from one of the world's largest banks. For over half a century, Banco Popular was one of the most profitable banks in the world — until one day in 2017, when the Spanish bank suddenly collapsed overnight. When investigative journalist Gareth Gore was dispatched to report on the story, he expected to find yet another case of unbridled capitalist ambition gone wrong. Instead, he uncovered decades of deception that hid one of the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetrated by a group of men sworn to celibacy and self-flagellation who had secretly controlled Popular and abused their positions there to help spread Opus Dei to every corner of the world. Drawing on unparalleled access to bank records, insider accounts, and exclusive interviews with whistleblowers from within Opus Dei, Gore reveals how money from the bank was used to lure unsuspecting recruits — some of them only children — into a life of servitude. He also tracks the ascent of Opus Dei around the globe, exposing its role in bankrolling many right-wing causes, including the US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. In an era of disinformation and deep fakes, here is a real-life conspiracy which hid in plain sight for more than sixty years. Gore tells a shocking story of money and power that spans decades and continents. Documenting Opus Dei's secret history for the first time, this thrilling work of investigative storytelling raises important questions about the dark forces that shape our society.

Publisher's Summary:
Absinthe, an elixir made of alcohol and herbs, is a booming business. Yet it is still an underground culture, associated with mystery, romance, and bohemian lifestyles, in keeping with its popularity among the writers, artists, and other ne'er-do-wells. First produced in eighteenth century, the spirit, known as 'the Green Fairy,' was banned worldwide by 1914 before the bans were gradually overturned beginning in 2005, the year Switzerland relegalized absinthe. Enter a bon vivant who inveigles his way into the private Facebook groups where the modern absinthe demimonde converges and charms some of the best minds (and palates) in the beverage world into thinking that he was selling them precious vintage pre-ban bottles. How did he get away with it? The Absinthe Forger pieces together the forger's subterfuge and motivation. It shows how absinthe can transform a person—and even connect drinkers with a deeper, often hidden sense of self. Rail digs deep into the modern absinthe underground, whose members are still frantic to find the last remaining bottles of pre-ban absinthe, and he visits modern producers of the spirit, who have, in a generation, changed in status from daring criminal bootleggers to sought-after celebrities. The Absinthe Forger is a bizarre crime drama that will make you never look at wormwood in the same way again.

Publisher's Summary:
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In John Grisham’s first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man, “the master of the legal thriller” (Associated Press) teams up with Jim McCloskey, “the godfather of the innocence movement” (Texas Monthly), to share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions. “Each of these stories is told with astonishing power. They are packed with human drama, with acts of shocking villainy and breathtaking courage. But these are more than just gripping true stories—they are a clarion call for reforming the tragic flaws in our criminal justice system.”—David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you. * This audiobook edition is accompanied by a downloadable PDF which includes A Note on Sources and Acknowledgments from the book.

Title: [German] - Stasi im Görlitzer Justizapparat 1982 - 2024
Author: Jürgen G. H. Hoppmann
Narrator: Jürgen G. H. Hoppmann
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 6 hours 1 minute
Release date: October 14, 2024
Genres: True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
Die Macht von Stasi-Seilschaften im Justizapparat erlebt der Autor, seit er sich Mitte der 2000er-Jahre mit dem Thema beschäftigt. Infolge dessen wird er mit Schau- und Scheinprozessen im Stil des Stalinismus überzogen. Seiner ältesten Tochter Heide brachte der Rechtsbruch 2017 den Tod. Für seine witzigen Krimis musste er 2022 ins Gefängnis, Autorenlesungen wurden verboten. Sämtliche Aktenduplikate des Bundesarchivs frei zugänglich via truecrime.cloud Dass vermutlich die Bündnisgrünen dabei ihre Hand im Spiel haben, erklärt sich aus der Tatsache, dass informelle Mitarbeiter der Stasi im Herbst 1989 bei der Gründung des Neuen Forums eine ausschlaggebende Rolle spielten, heutzutage immer noch aktiv sind und zusammen mit dubiosen Geschäftsleuten, die nach der Wende aus dem Westen kamen, die Macht über die Stadt ausüben. »Ein Einzelfall« schrieb das Investigativ-Ressort der ZEIT. Ist dem wirklich so? Die hier geschilderten Vorgängen sind exemplarisch für Rechtlosigkeit in Ostdeutschland, die auch von Bündnisgrünen getragen wird und Menschen in die Arme von Rechts- und Linkspopulisten treibt. Jürgen G. H. Hoppmann, Autor, Filmemacher und freier Journalist. Er engagiert sich als überzeugter Europäer bei Volt Deutschland. Quellenlage: Forschungsaufträge bei Stasi-Arciven und Berlin, Leipzig und Dresden, sowie Informanten und Zeitzeugen - sachdienliche Hinweise vertraulich behandelt und anonymisiert. Der Autor nimmt für sich den Wistleblower-Schutz der Europäischen Kommission in Anspruch, da Rechtsmissbrauch der Zusammenhalt der EU gefährdet.

Title: [Spanish] - El caso Cumbres: Toda la verdad sobre los crímenes de Diego Santoy
Author: Javier Munguía
Narrator: Jaime Collepardo
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 7 hours 24 minutes
Release date: October 10, 2024
Genres: True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
Pocos casos criminales del México reciente son tan conocidos y a la vez mal comprendidos, incluso distorsionados por los medios de comunicación y seudoinvestigadores de las redes, como el ataque de Diego Santoy a la familia Peña Coss, ocurrido el 2 de marzo de 2006, en la colonia Cumbres, de Monterrey Tras huir y ser capturado, Santoy admitió haber agredido a su exnovia Érika y asesinado a los hermanos de ella, Érik y María Fernanda, solo unos niños, además de secuestrar a Catalina, la empleada doméstica de la familia. Menos de un mes después, Santoy acusó a Érika de ser la asesina de los niños. Su segundo relato fue ampliamente aceptado y produjo otras versiones que acabaron por enturbiar la verdad de forma perdurable. Provisto de información extraviada o nunca asimilada y uniendo las piezas de la historia de forma minuciosa, Javier Munguía propone al lector de El caso Cumbres reexaminar los hechos bajo otra óptica y enfrentarse a un escenario inquietante: una sociedad que da la espalda a las víctimas y se convierte en uno más de sus verdugos.

Title: Unredacted: Russia, Trump, and the Fight for Democracy
Author: Christopher Steele
Narrator: Christopher Steele
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 8 hours 52 minutes
Release date: October 8, 2024
Genres: True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
The intelligence officer behind the explosive “Steele Dossier” steps out of the shadows, revealing a searing new report on the threat Putin and Trump pose to democracy, based on alarming intelligence exposed in these pages for the first time “Putin is now desperate to have Donald Trump back in the White House. If he succeeds in helping Trump get reelected, I am convinced that the global political order will be utterly changed. We shall have entered a new historical era of strategic chaos, a ‘new world disorder.’ The consequences of Trump winning the 2024 election are catastrophic.” –from Unredacted To a unique degree, Christopher Steele has been an eyewitness observer of modern Russian history. He was a British diplomat and intelligence professional in Moscow when the Soviet Union was collapsing. Steele was there when the putsch against Mikhail Gorbachev took place and when Boris Yeltsin took over the newly independent Russia. After Vladimir Putin came to power, Steele rose to become one of British government’s leading Russia experts and played a central role in the investigation into the Kremlin-ordered murder of Alexander Litvinenko. Then, in 2016, he wrote a series of explosive reports about the then presidential candidate Donald Trump and his links to Russia. Now known to the world as the “Steele Dossier,” these intelligence documents drew the world’s attention to Russia’s relationship with Trump—and reluctantly thrust Steele into the center of a global maelstrom. Since Trump’s election, he has quietly continued his work. Indeed, Steele has had even better access to sources of information and intelligence on Russia—ones that have given him a privileged view of what’s going on inside the Kremlin, and how much we in the West should worry about it. In Unredacted, Steele shares for the first time what that inside view looks like, how he came to the point of gaining such a level of insight, and what Western governments—and all of us—can and should do to counter this generational threat.

Title: Ghosts of Crook County: An Oil Fortune, a Phantom Child, and the Fight for Indigenous Land
Author: Russell Cobb
Narrator: Chris Baetens
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 9 hours 22 minutes
Release date: October 8, 2024
Genres: True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
The true—and unsolved—story of unabashedly greedy men, their exploitation of Muscogee land, and the hunt for the ghost of a boy who may never have existed For readers of David Grann’s award-winning Killers of the Flower Moon In the early 1900s, at the dawn of the “American Century,” few knew the intoxicating power of greed better than white men on the forefront of the black gold rush. When oil was discovered in Oklahoma, these counterfeit tycoons impersonated, defrauded, and murdered Native property owners to snatch up hundreds of acres of oil-rich land. Writer and fourth-generation Oklahoman Russell Cobb sets the stage for one such oilman’s chicanery: Tulsa entrepreneur Charles Page’s campaign for a young Muscogee boy’s land in Creek County. Problem was, “Tommy Atkins,” the boy in question, had died years prior—if he ever lived at all. Ghosts of Crook County traces Tommy’s mythologized life through Page’s relentless pursuit of his land. We meet Minnie Atkins and the two other women who claimed to be Tommy’s “real” mother. Minnie would testify a story of her son’s life and death that fulfilled the legal requirements for his land to be transferred to Page. And we meet Tommy himself—or the men who proclaimed themselves to be him, alive and well in court. Through evocative storytelling, Cobb chronicles with unflinching precision the lasting effects of land-grabbing white men on Indigenous peoples. What emerges are the interconnected stories of unabashedly greedy men, the exploitation of Indigenous land, and the legacy of a boy who may never have existed.

Title: Den of Spies: The Untold Story of Reagan, Carter and the Treason that Stole the White House
Author: Craig Unger
Narrator: Jason Culp
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 12 hours 7 minutes
Release date: October 1, 2024
Genres: True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
Argo meets Spotlight, as New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in elections goes unpunished Argo meets Spotlight, as New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in our elections goes unpunished and what gets remembered when the political price for treason is victory. In April 1991, the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election. The Iranian hostage crisis was President Jimmy Carter’s largest political vulnerability, and his lack of success freeing them ultimately sealed his fate at the ballot box. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed the oath of office, the Republicans had secretly funneled arms to Iran. Treasonous and illegal, the operation—planned and executed by Reagan’s campaign manager Bill Casey—amounted to a shadow foreign policy run by private citizens that ensured Reagan’s victory. Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the October Surprise—initially for Esquire and then Newsweek—and while attempting to unravel the mystery, he was fired, sued, and ostracized by the Washington press corps, as a counter narrative took hold: The October Surprise was a hoax. Now Unger finally reveals the definitive story and sharing startling truths about what really happened in 1980. The result is a real-life political thriller filled with double agents, CIA operatives, slippery politicians, KGB documents, wealthy Republicans, and dogged journalists. Timely and provocative, with powerful echoes of Trump-era political scandals, Den of Spies demonstrates the stakes of allowing the politics of the moment to obscure the writing of our history.

On a sunny May morning in 1990, a bank courier strode out of the Bank of England and, minutes later, was robbed at knifepoint of 301 bearer bonds valued at £292 million. It was the biggest theft in British history. The thing is... when Keith Cheeseman received a call from a disbarred lawyer connected to London's underworld and attended a meeting on the night of the robbery, he counted £427 million in bonds - £135 million more than the Bank of England had reported. As Keith set out to launder the bonds, Scotland Yard and the FBI were always one step ahead in tracking them down. Over the next eighteen months, two gangland figures were shot dead and more than eighty people were arrested. Keith was the only man ever jailed for the crime. Keith Cheeseman is the last of the old-time gangsters, a con man who detests violence, wears Savile Row suits and gold watches, and loves classic cars and good dining. He bought non-league Dunstable football club and signed Manchester United star George Best to play for the team. He knew the legendary Kray twins and killer Frankie Fraser once threatened to snuff him out him over a game of chess. So what happened to the missing £135 million? In this breathtaking adventure, featuring colourful characters from showbusiness alongside royalty, the IRA and even Pablo Escobar, Clifford Thurlow reveals Keith Cheeseman's incredible true story for the first time.

Publisher's Summary:
WHEN PARADISE TURNS TO CHAOS, WHO WILL SURVIVE? An incredible true story of murder, romance and a fateful search for utopia in the Galápagos from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park At the height of the Great Depression, Los Angeles oil mogul George Allan Hancock and his crew of Smithsonian scientists, who had spent four years travelling the South Seas collecting rare specimens for scientific research, came upon a gruesome scene on reaching the Galápagos: two bodies, mummified by the searing heat, on the shore of the remote island. Hancock was surprised to discover an equally exotic group of humans: European exiles who had fled political and economic unrest, hoping to create a utopian paradise. As Hancock and his fellow American explorers would witness, paradise had turned into chaos. The three sets of exiles – a Berlin doctor and his lover, a traumatised World War I veteran and his young family, and an Austrian baroness with two adoring paramours – were riven by conflict. Petty slights led to angry confrontations. The baroness, wielding a riding crop and a pearl-handled revolver, staged fights between her two lovers and brazenly seduced American tourists. The conclusion was deadly: two exiles missing, two others dead, and the survivors hurling accusations of murder. Using previously unpublished archives, Abbott Kahler weaves a chilling, stranger-than-fiction tale worthy of Agatha Christie, a mystery as alluring and curious as the Galápagos themselves. Eden Undone explores our universal desire to seek utopia, while laying bare the human fallibility that, inevitably, renders such a quest doomed.
