  What if the most powerful man in data surveillance wasn’t a government agent—but a former drug smuggler with a genius for code?
   
  The Hank Show unravels the incredible true story of Hank Asher, a self-invented tech visionary whose fingerprints helped shape the world of digital surveillance. From flying cocaine-filled planes over the Caribbean to building billion-dollar data empires used by law enforcement and corporate giants alike, Hank’s life is a high-stakes tale of ambition, reinvention, and moral complexity.
   
  This audiobook blends gripping biography with sharp investigative insight, charting how one man’s tools came to power everything from government intelligence to consumer profiling—long before Silicon Valley took over our lives. Both thrilling and deeply reflective, it explores the intersection of data, privacy, influence, and the consequences of building systems without accountability.

  Edgar Award Winner: True stories of miscarriages of justice, legal battles, and landmark reversals, by the creator of Perry Mason.    In 1945, Erle Stanley Gardner, noted attorney and author of the popular Perry Mason mysteries, was contacted by an overwhelmed California public defender who believed his doomed client was innocent. William Marvin Lindley had been convicted of the rape and murder of a young girl along the banks of the Yuba River, and was awaiting execution at San Quentin. After reviewing the case, Gardner agreed to help—it seemed the fate of the “Red-Headed Killer” hinged on the testimony of a colorblind witness.   Gardner’s intervention sparked the Court of Last Resort. The Innocence Project of its day, this ambitious and ultimately successful undertaking was devoted to investigating, reviewing, and reversing wrongful convictions owing to poor legal representation, prosecutorial abuses, biased police activity, bench corruption, unreliable witnesses, and careless forensic-evidence testimony. The crimes: rape, murder, kidnapping, and manslaughter. The prisoners: underprivileged and vulnerable men wrongly convicted and condemned to life sentences or death row with only one hope—the devotion of Erle Stanley Gardner and the Court of Last Resort.   Featuring Gardner’s most damning cases of injustice from across the country, The Court of Last Resort won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime. Originating as a monthly column in Argosy magazine, it was produced as a dramatized court TV show for NBC.
