Sinopse

In "The Chronicles of Newgate: The Complete Two-Volume Edition," Arthur Griffiths presents a compelling examination of the life surrounding one of England's most infamous prisons during the 19th century. With a keen eye for detail and an engaging narrative style, Griffiths immerses readers in a world teeming with social injustice, crime, and punishment. This historical work not only chronicles the lives of the inmates but also delves into the broader socio-political landscape of the time, characterized by the tensions between the criminal underclass and Victorian morality. Griffiths employs a vivid, almost journalistic prose, reflecting both the sensationalism and the grim realities of Newgate's history, making it a captivating read for both literary and historical audiences. Arthur Griffiths, an English writer, and journalist, was deeply influenced by his early career in law enforcement, which provided him with unique insights into crime and the penal system. His experiences as a detective in the Metropolitan Police and his fervent interest in criminal psychology served as a foundation for this work. Griffiths not only aims to inform but also to evoke empathy, challenging readers to consider the human stories behind the prison walls. For those intrigued by the nexus of crime, history, and societal norms, "The Chronicles of Newgate" stands as an essential read. Its blend of rich character studies and historical accuracy offers a profound understanding of Victorian society, making it a significant contribution to both literary and historical discourse. Readers will find themselves ensnared by Griffiths' compelling narratives, encouraging them to confront the darker aspects of humanity and justice.

    There was a time when DJ Carey didn’t need a surname. The star player of a Kilkenny hurling team that dominated the sport for a decade, he had a rare, natural talent that led his county to five All Ireland titles and won him nine All Stars. DJ wasn’t just a hero on the pitch - his easy charm, generosity, and readiness to meet young fans made him a national treasure. 
     
    Throughout his meteoric rise, strange rumours followed him. In 2003, shocking claims that DJ was dying of cancer swept the country. Who would spread such a story about one of Ireland’s most beloved sporting legends? And what could possibly be gained from it? 
     
    Two decades later, the truth emerged. DJ Carey was arrested and charged with deception and forgery - accused of faking cancer to con money from those who trusted him most. For years, he had been telling the same lie to generous supporters who believed they were funding life-saving treatment in the U.S. 
     
    In this riveting exposé, Eimear Ní Bhraonáin uncovers the extraordinary fall from grace of a national icon, and how he betrayed the fans that once loved him.

    A shocking true story of crime, punishment, and injustice in a major American city. Charles Stuart claimed it was a black man who carjacked him, shooting both himself and his wife, ending both her life and the life of their unborn child. The accusation and subsequent manhunt enflamed the long-simmering racial tensions of Boston, leading to the arrest of an innocent man. It was then discovered that Stuart had killed his wife and shot himself to cover up the crime, seeking a big insurance payout. When his crimes were exposed, Stuart jumped off a bridge to his death. Ken Englade explores the story with panoramic vision and a stunning eye for detail. Looking at the crime itself and the police response, Englade shows how Stuart's crime unraveled, how the truth came out, and what the media's response can tell us about the biases through which we view the worst of crimes.
