The book combines a gripping narrative style with meticulous detail, presenting accounts of high-profile cases involving theft, murder, and political intrigue.

    Scout Camp - Sex Death and...

    In the summer of 1995, at the largest Boy Scout camp in Ohio, a night of sexual violence ended with one counselor dead and another hospitalized. The death was ruled "accidental." It wouldn't be the last death associated with Seven Ranges Reservation. 
     
     
     
    James Renner, too, was a counselor at Seven Ranges that year. He was always sure there must be more to the story of Mike Klingler's death, because Renner also knew firsthand that the 900-acre camp was not the safe getaway it was portrayed to be. On Friday nights the boys were ushered into the woods for a frightening ceremony in which they learned the rules for becoming good young men—and, above all, that keeping secrets was a scout's duty. No matter how dark the secrets were. 
     
     
     
    Determined to face his demons, Renner embarks on a journey back to that tumultuous summer and exposes a clandestine society that left indelible scars on the scouts and the staff who were there. For Renner himself, it meant opening up about his twisted upbringing, his issues with trust and sexuality, and a lifetime of self-medication. The result is a deeply personal, no-holds-barred, and vitally important true crime memoir.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Based on the shocking true story of the narco who curated his own capture. 
    In the sun-baked streets of Culiacán, the heartland of the Sinaloa Cartel, a young, brilliant architect named Rodrigo Rios is facing the quiet desperation of a life unfulfilled. Weighed down by debt and disillusioned with the legitimate world, he accepts an offer from his childhood friend, the son of the enigmatic cartel leader Isidro "El Viejo" Cardenas. The offer is simple: use his intelligence and quiet demeanor in service of the cartel. It is a choice that will lead him down a path of unimaginable power and spectacular ruin. 
    Christened "El Fantasma," Rodrigo sheds his old life and becomes the most feared and innovative commander in the organization. He forges an elite crew of assassins, Los Espectros, and wages a brutal war against his rivals. But his true genius lies not in violence, but in branding. He creates a public persona, "Comandante Fantasma," an anonymous narco-celebrity who broadcasts a life of impossible luxury and power on social media. His feed—a curated gallery of supercars, pet tigers, and custom weapons—becomes a viral sensation, making him a legend and a powerful recruiting tool for a new generation. 
    His rise, however, is being meticulously documented by an unseen enemy. In a windowless room in San Diego, DEA Agent David Miller sees the ghost’s digital footprint not as a myth, but as a trail of evidence. As Rodrigo’s fame makes him a target for both jealous rivals and the law, he is drawn into a high-stakes international game of cat and mouse, from the battlefields of Mexico to the luxury suites of Europe. Based on a shocking true story, Where Ghosts Go to Die is a relentless, action-packed thriller about a new kind of criminal for the modern age—a man who built a global empire on a social media account, only to discover that every post, every follower, and every ‘like’ was another bar in the cage being built around him.

    Making things right was drug-lord-turned-contractor/minister Harold Brandon’s new purpose. But he soon finds out that changing sides comes at a steep price. 
     
    Harold’s Harley roars across asphalt and dirt toward a meeting with DOJ agents and a few informants.

    But, as soon as Harold starts a new mission, sinister forces connive against him and seek to teach him a lesson. 
     
    How they were going to go about it, however, remains to be seen.

With haunting realism and cinematic detail, Vivian Brightwell and Beckett John uncover the fragile line between order and chaos, truth and secrecy — and remind us that sometimes, evil is caught not by method, but by mistake.
