  True stories from a forensic psychologist in prisons and out.  
   
   
  ‘The most dangerous people I met weren’t monsters. They were broken children wearing adult faces.’ 
   
  Pamela Nathan, clinical and forensic psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, uncovers the inner worlds of society’s most dangerous and broken—whether behind bars or hidden in plain sight. 
   
  In Pain Bleeds Crime, she shares twenty-three gripping true stories from her decades working in maximum-security prisons, courts, and forensic hospitals. The crimes are shocking—murder, rape, paedophilia, assault, fetishism, bestiality, and more—but what lies beneath is often even more confronting. 
   
  Each offender, whether male, female or transgender, reveals a hidden world shaped by trauma, pain, and silence. Pamela enters these inner worlds to feel and then to have revealed the internal crime scenes, to see what made them break—mentally, emotionally, morally. These aren’t excuses. They’re revelations. 
   
  You’ll come face-to-face with people whose crimes horrified the public—people who insist they’re not violent, or that “it just happened”—and come face-to-face with the dark truth: the past never really goes away. With unflinching honesty and rare insight, Pamela shows how the past never really stays buried—and how behind every act of violence, there’s a story waiting to be told. 
   
  Brutally honest, deeply unsettling, and impossible to forget, Pain Bleeds Crime is a journey into the darkest parts of humanity. 
   
   
  ‘Mad, bad, or sad—when we listen to the story, we see the person.’ 
   
   
  ‘A chilling exploration of the trauma and pain behind the most heinous crimes.’

  The circumstances surrounding the bizarre photograph initially inspiring Meredith Carson to ghostwrite Jack Wagoner’s horrifying account are now included in this audiobook and remain unexplained. When Meredith Carson accepted the task of ghostwriting the frightening narrative you are about to hear, she had no idea how that decision would affect her. Miss Carson shared with other members of the World Codex Staff that, at times, while transcribing Jack Wagoner’s spellbinding story, she felt like Agent Starling from THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Meredith Carson’s unnerving experience documenting Wagoner’s struggle for survival in the Klamath Mountains and the subsequent events is astonishing.

  The Colony - Faith and Blood in...

  On the morning of November 4, 2019, a caravan of women and children was ambushed by masked gunmen on a desolate stretch of road in northern Mexico controlled by the Sinaloa drug cartel. Firing semi-automatic weapons, the attackers killed nine people and gravely injured five more. The victims were members of the LeBaron and La Mora communities—fundamentalist Mormons whose forebears broke from the LDS Church and settled in Mexico when their religion outlawed polygamy in the late nineteenth century. The massacre produced international headlines for weeks, and prompted President Donald Trump to threaten to send in the US Army. 
   
   
   
  In The Colony, Sally Denton delves into the complex story of the LeBaron clan. Their homestead—Colonia LeBaron—is a portal into the past, a place that offers a glimpse of life within a polygamous community on an arid and dangerous frontier in the mid-1800s, though with smartphones and machine guns. Rooting her narrative in written sources as well as interviews with anonymous women from LeBaron itself, Denton unfolds an epic, disturbing tale that spans the first polygamist emigrations to Mexico through the LeBarons' internal blood feud in the 1970s and up to the family's recent alliance with the NXIVM sex cult, whose now-imprisoned leader, Keith Raniere, may have based his practices on the society he witnessed in Colonia LeBaron.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In the annals of criminal history, few cases are as disturbing as that of Robert Hendy-Freegard—a master manipulator who earned the nickname "The Puppet Master" for his ability to control his victims' every move. This gripping true crime investigation by Walid Saleh exposes the shocking story of Britain's most dangerous con artist, whose sophisticated psychological warfare destroyed families and shattered lives across two decades. 
  Unlike ordinary criminals who rely on physical force or simple fraud, Freegard wielded something far more insidious: the power to completely rewire his victims' reality. Posing as an MI5 agent, he convinced university students they were being hunted by Irish terrorists, forcing them to abandon their families, friends, and futures. For ten years, his victims lived in constant fear of phantom enemies while he systematically drained their families of over one million pounds. 
  From the agricultural colleges of rural England to the corridors of Scotland Yard, from broken families in London to FBI operations across the Atlantic, this is more than just a crime story—it's a terrifying exploration of human vulnerability and the darkest capabilities of the criminal mind. 
  This meticulously researched account serves as both a riveting true crime narrative and a crucial warning about the sophisticated predators who walk among us. It's a story that will make you question everything you think you know about trust, manipulation, and the very nature of evil itself.
