The Golden State Killer Case

William Thorp

In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
 
 
 
Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
 
 
 
William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.

One Body: A Retrospective

Catherine Simpson

Nominated in Scotland’s National Book Awards 
In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what it’s been like to live in her woman’s body, and to reach the realisation that all that time she’d spent trying to change her body to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely different perspective. 
By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot together—from period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters. 
So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was “a nuisance,” she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime. 
One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is in—to be grateful for her body and all that it does and is.

Republic's Last Generation The:...

Ibnul Jaif Farabi

Imagine a superpower at the peak of its strength, yet rotting from within. The Roman Republic, having conquered the known world, now faces an enemy it cannot defeat: itself. This is the story of the pivotal decades when victory abroad bred chaos at home, and the ancient rules of politics were shattered forever. It is a masterclass in how civilizations unravel.
 

 
This definitive narrative chronicles the critical era from the destruction of Carthage to the rise of the first warlords. It explores the systemic failures that doomed the Republic: the corrosive wealth gap, the bloody battles over citizenship and rights, and the political gangs that turned the Forum into a battlefield. The audiobook meticulously traces how economic shock, institutional corruption, and naked ambition created a perfect storm.
 

 
Listeners will experience the relentless tension of a state in slow-motion collapse. You will gain a profound understanding of political decay, the dynamics of populism versus the oligarchy, and the fatal consequences of a constitution unable to adapt. This is not just ancient history; it is a timeless case study in the fragility of republican systems under stress from within.
 

 
Join acclaimed historian and narrator Ibnul Jaif Farabi for an immersive journey into the dramatic last act of Rome's free state. Witness the warning signs written in marble and blood, and discover the echoes that resonate through the centuries.
