On 6th December 1995, Tony Tucker, Pat Tate and Craig Rolfe were notoriously murdered in a Range Rover on a quiet country lane in Essex but 30 years, two convictions and countless conspiracies later, questions remain unanswered.

Chained Birds: A Crimemoir is an author-narrated studio production of Carla Conti's award-winning true crime memoir.
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.

Zum Buch
Today, Tipperary-born priest Patrick Ryan cuts a modest but strong figure, to the layperson. A man of God who has been entrusted with the confessions of hundreds of earnest parishioners. But in fact his story is dark, dramatic, and pivotal to Irish history, on both sides of the border. In The Padre, award-winning investigative journalist Jennifer O’Leary exposes the paramilitary exploits of notorious former Catholic priest and active IRA supporter Patrick Ryan – exposing details which have, outside of his very guarded circles, been unknown until now. Drawing on highly sensitive information, divulged by Ryan during exclusive secret meetings with the author, The Padre lifts the lid on the true extent of the priest’s involvement with the IRA: from being the link between the organisation and the Gaddafi regime, to Ryan’s connection to the failed assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. The Padre tells the truly remarkably story of this man of the cloth, and his lifelong struggle with what he, in his heart, believes to be right and wrong.Zum Buch
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Al Capone: The Greatest Mafia Boss in History presents the definitive account of America's most notorious criminal legend. This compelling biographical narrative traces the extraordinary journey of Alphonse "Al" Capone from his childhood in Brooklyn's impoverished Italian neighborhoods to his reign as the undisputed emperor of Chicago's criminal underworld. During the tumultuous Prohibition era, Capone didn't just break laws—he rewrote them. With monthly revenues exceeding $100 million (equivalent to over $1.3 billion today), his organization operated like a corporate empire, complete with hierarchical management, strategic expansion, and systematic corruption of government officials. This book reveals how Capone managed to control approximately 60% of Chicago's police force and government officials, essentially running a shadow state within America's third-largest city. The narrative explores the complex contradictions of Capone's character: the ruthless killer who was also a devoted family man, the terrorist who played Robin Hood to Chicago's poor, and the criminal mastermind who ultimately fell not to rivals' bullets but to tax evasion charges. Through detailed accounts of the infamous "Beer Wars," the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and the political machinations that enabled his rise, readers witness both the seductive allure and devastating consequences of unchecked power. More than just a crime story, this book serves as a profound study of American society during one of its most transformative periods. It examines how immigration, economic disparity, and flawed government policies created the perfect storm for organized crime to flourish. The tragic conclusion—Capone's mental deterioration from syphilis and his pathetic final years—offers sobering lessons about the ultimate futility of power built on violence and corruption.Zum Buch
