  Pittsburgh's small but lucrative Cosa Nostra mafia family was on the rise in 1985 with a newly crowned Don . . . The men who came to dominate the rackets in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and West Virginia opened the family to massive profits from drug trafficking and a street tax on other criminal activities. At the same time, the Youngstown, Ohio, faction of the family launched a brutal mob war against the weakening Cleveland mafia and the Altoona, Pennsylvania, crew violently clamped down on their city. Discover gritty stories of a made member who controlled who a local police department hired, an informant who betrayed his own mafia grandfather and father, numerous unsolved murders and a mob mole in the Pittsburgh office of the FBI. This is the tale of a mafia family at the pinnacle of its power, willing to do anything to hold on to that power and its downfall in the criminal underworld.

  All The Mass Corruption - The...

  All the Mass Corruption examines a criminal case that raised serious concerns about policing, prosecution, and political influence in a small Massachusetts town. 
  For decades, allegations of police misconduct in Massachusetts have surfaced and faded, often without consequence. In recent years, however, these issues have intensified, revealing patterns that can no longer be dismissed as isolated mistakes. 
  At the center of this book is the case of a woman prosecuted for a crime she consistently denied committing. Despite major inconsistencies, conflicting evidence, and unanswered questions, the case moved forward aggressively—raising concerns about how conclusions were reached and why alternative explanations were ignored. 
  This story is not unique. 
  In the same community, the death of a pregnant woman was ruled a suicide under troubling circumstances. Evidence suggesting otherwise was overlooked until federal authorities intervened, exposing broader failures and reinforcing concerns about how power can distort justice. 
  These cases reflect a larger issue. 
  Across Massachusetts, law enforcement has faced repeated scandals involving evidence tampering, corruption, abuse of authority, and oversight failures. Thousands of convictions were later overturned after compromised forensic evidence was uncovered—problems known but left unresolved for years. 
  Using documented cases, public records, and analysis, All the Mass Corruption reveals patterns of institutional self-protection, showing how investigations lose objectivity, accountability stalls, and official narratives persist even when facts remain uncertain. 
  This is not a sensational account, but a factual examination of what happens when justice systems stop questioning themselves—and why restoring trust requires more than authority.

  Chained Birds: A Crimemoir is an author-narrated studio production of Carla Conti's award-winning true crime memoir and named 2025's Best Crimemoir by AudioBookReviewer.com. 
    
  FROM THE BACK COVER 
  After three years in Europe, former journalist Carla Conti just wanted to settle her family into the suburbs of Philadelphia. But her high school friend Scott Powell, a lawyer handling a brutal prison stabbing case, needed a favor. Before she knew it, Carla became part of the defense team and was mired in the terrifying world of federal prison gangs, penal abuse, and corruption.  
    
  Then, when she agreed to write a tell-all book on the violent machinations behind the court case—with Scott’s client as an inside source—the stakes turned deadly. Two different prison gangs issued “hit orders” against the prisoner she and Scott now considered a friend, and the journalist and defense attorney were imperiled by association. 
    
  CHAINED BIRDS: A CRIMEMOIR is the story of Carla’s 10-year journey to advocate for federal inmate Kevin Sanders and help him re-enter society after prison. But the mission came at a cost as Carla struggled to balance her own, Scott’s, and Kevin’s safety while writing an exposé on the horrific conditions that led to the shutdown of an experimental prison program in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. 
    
  Part investigative thriller, part raw memoir, CHAINED BIRDS is a gripping exposé of systemic injustice and a powerful reminder of the resilience it takes to uncover the truth.

  ‘Few would’ve survived Rusty’s ordeal – an incredible story of hope and resilience’ - Stephen McGown, author of Six Years a Hostage 
  Rusty Labuschagne has been through a trauma few have experienced and disclosed. In 2003, the successful Zimbabwean businessman, who ran a safari outfit, flew his own aircraft and had a fishing resort on Lake Kariba, was framed by a poacher, the police, and the courts and wrongfully convicted of drowning a poacher. 
  He served ten years in Zimbabwe’s prisons, including the notorious Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, where he suffered through food shortages, no running water, and people dying around him daily. 
  Rusty lost everything he had worked so hard for, but most of all, his freedom. His story is a testament to his extraordinary resilience in conditions most would find unbearable. 
  He shares the life lessons he learned – how to harness your inner strength, how to forgive, and how to show gratitude – as he found true freedom through sincerity and humility. 
  Rusty’s is an inspiring story of true grit in the face of great adversity, of a man who loses everything as he is broken by a corrupt political system, but who then rises to fight that system on his own terms. In doing so he rebuilds himself from the inside out.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Based on the shocking true story of the narco who curated his own capture. 
  In the sun-baked streets of Culiacán, the heartland of the Sinaloa Cartel, a young, brilliant architect named Rodrigo Rios is facing the quiet desperation of a life unfulfilled. Weighed down by debt and disillusioned with the legitimate world, he accepts an offer from his childhood friend, the son of the enigmatic cartel leader Isidro "El Viejo" Cardenas. The offer is simple: use his intelligence and quiet demeanor in service of the cartel. It is a choice that will lead him down a path of unimaginable power and spectacular ruin. 
  Christened "El Fantasma," Rodrigo sheds his old life and becomes the most feared and innovative commander in the organization. He forges an elite crew of assassins, Los Espectros, and wages a brutal war against his rivals. But his true genius lies not in violence, but in branding. He creates a public persona, "Comandante Fantasma," an anonymous narco-celebrity who broadcasts a life of impossible luxury and power on social media. His feed—a curated gallery of supercars, pet tigers, and custom weapons—becomes a viral sensation, making him a legend and a powerful recruiting tool for a new generation. 
  His rise, however, is being meticulously documented by an unseen enemy. In a windowless room in San Diego, DEA Agent David Miller sees the ghost’s digital footprint not as a myth, but as a trail of evidence. As Rodrigo’s fame makes him a target for both jealous rivals and the law, he is drawn into a high-stakes international game of cat and mouse, from the battlefields of Mexico to the luxury suites of Europe. Based on a shocking true story, Where Ghosts Go to Die is a relentless, action-packed thriller about a new kind of criminal for the modern age—a man who built a global empire on a social media account, only to discover that every post, every follower, and every ‘like’ was another bar in the cage being built around him.
