  The Writer Who Became a Serial Killer: Jack Unterweger 
  What happens when society celebrates a monster as a hero? 
  In the chilling depths of Austrian history lies one of Europe's most shocking criminal cases. Jack Unterweger appeared to be the perfect redemption story—a convicted murderer who found salvation through literature, transforming from killer to celebrated writer while imprisoned. His autobiography became a bestseller, intellectuals campaigned for his freedom, and Austria embraced him as proof that even the darkest souls could find light. 
  But when Unterweger walked free after 15 years, a trail of bodies began appearing across three countries and two continents. 
  This gripping true crime narrative exposes how a master manipulator fooled an entire nation, using his pen as a weapon of deception while secretly planning his next murders. From the cobblestone streets of Vienna to the dark forests of Czech Republic, and ultimately to the sun-soaked avenues of Los Angeles, Unterweger left a horrifying legacy that challenged everything society believed about justice, rehabilitation, and human nature. 
  Who was the real Jack Unterweger—the gifted author or the transcontinental killer? 
  This meticulously researched account reveals the psychological profile of a psychopath who weaponized literature, manipulated the media, and exploited society's deepest desire to believe in redemption. Featuring unprecedented cooperation between Austrian police and the FBI, this case rewrote the rules of international criminal investigation. 
  A haunting exploration of evil disguised as good, this true story will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about justice, celebrity, and the masks worn by monsters among us.

  Shattered - A Memoir

  From acclaimed author and playwright Hanif Kureishi comes an urgent and stunning memoir about rebuilding a new life in the wake of devastating physical loss. 
  In late 2022, in Rome, Hanif Kureishi had a fall. When he came to, he realized he could no longer walk. He could do nothing without the help of others and required constant care in a hospital. So began a yearlong odyssey through the medical systems of Rome and Italy, with the hope of somehow being able to return home to his house in London. 
  While confined to a series of hospital wards, he felt compelled to write, but being unable to type or hold a pen, he began to dictate to family members the words that formed in his head—thoughts on his medical condition, but also parenthood, immigration, sex, psychoanalysis, and, of course, writing. The result was an extraordinary series of dispatches from his hospital bed: a diary of a life in pieces, recorded with rare honesty, humor, and verve. 
  Shattered takes these dispatches—edited, expanded, and meticulously interwoven with new writing—and charts both a shattering and a reassembling: a new life born of pain and loss but also animated by new feelings of gratitude, humility, and love.

  A smart, funny, and refreshingly candid memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182. Narrated in his own voice, the audiobook offers an intimate and immersive experience that fans won’t want to miss. 
  This is the story of an angst-filled kid from the desert, navigating the chaos of his parents' bitter divorce and searching for his place in the world.

  With sharp humor and raw honesty, Fahrenheit-182 takes readers through Mark's formative years as a latchkey kid in the 1980s, hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV.

  Threaded with heartfelt grit, Fahrenheit-182 is more than just a memoir for blink-182 fans. It’s a funny, smart, and deeply human story for anyone who’s struggled, reinvented themselves, wanted to quit but kept going.

  “#1 bestseller on AMAZON (eating disorders)” 
  “A book that will make you cry and leave you with hope and lifted spirits.” 
  Ira M. Sacker, M.D., (author: Regaining Your Self, and co-author: Dying to Be Thin) 
  “The Mirror Lied is a heartfelt account of individuals suffering from eating disorders. This insightful, engaging, and masterful book is a must-read for individuals suffering from eating disorders and their loved ones.” 
  Judy E. Marshel, Ph.D., RD, is a nutrition therapist specializing in eating disorders. 
  The Mirror Lied is based on the true story of Jessica Gordon. Told in Jessica's voice, and based on extensive interviews with her, The Mirror Lied has been called “gripping,” “compelling” and “heart-wrenching” (AMAZON reviews). 
  Before she turned twenty, Jessica was raped by the woman entrusted to protect her and nearly killed by her brother. But those events pale in comparison to the life and death struggles she faced for twenty-five years as she fought for her life against her battles with anorexia and bulimia, laxative abuse, and cutting. 
  Readers are pulled into Jessica’s world of pain and struggle as they witness her effort to overcome this debilitating disorder. They also meet the people fighting to save her life. 
  To quote Jessica: “To those in recovery, stay there. To those who seek help, may you find a good therapist who knows how to help you. To those in denial of their eating disorder problem – heaven help you.” 
  Marc A. Zimmer, Ph.D., is an eating disorders specialist and co-author of the best-selling book, Dying to Be Thin. Dr. Zimmer has lectured extensively and he has published numerous journal articles on eating disorders. 
  N.R. Mitgang is the co-author (Haskins / Mitgang) of Mr. Bojangles (William Morrow) and an acclaimed playwright (New York Times).

  The son of a meat market porter and an office cleaner, Peter Cruddas left Shoreditch Comprehensive School at the age of fifteen with no qualifications and a part-time job as a milkman. Today he's Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch, the founder of a £1.5 billion financial trading company and a distinguished philanthropist, giving to over 200 charities through his foundation, which helps young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
  Fed up with Labour's economic mismanagement, Cruddas began his foray into politics, becoming a key Conservative Party donor. But after being elevated to treasurer in 2011, he fell victim to a Sunday Times sting in which he was falsely accused of breaking the law on party donations. With unflinching honesty, he reveals the full story of his successful libel battle and opens a Pandora's box of profound wider questions about newspaper dark arts and the power of the British press over the judicial system.
  Refusing to be scared off from the political world, Cruddas co-founded the winning Vote Leave campaign. Here, he gives a detailed insider view of the real reasons behind the victory and contemplates how Britain can now thrive outside the EU.
  Filled with heartbreak and elation, this is the extraordinary story of Cruddas's epic rise from an east London council estate to a Mayfair mansion – and includes plenty of tips for budding billionaires.
