  What happens when the system designed to protect you becomes the weapon used to destroy you? 
  In Book 3 of the UNBUTCHERED series, Dr. Luke Gordon takes listeners into the courtroom — where a patient's recorded confession should have ended everything, but instead revealed just how far institutional corruption could reach. 
  A confession on tape. Three lawyers who failed him. A judge whose conduct defied belief. This is the story of how a plastic surgeon's career was dismantled not by incompetence or wrongdoing, but by a broken system that had already decided the outcome. 
  Raw, unflinching, and meticulously documented, I Need to Get It Off My Chest is a memoir about betrayal, legal failure, and the cost of fighting for truth when the truth is inconvenient for everyone in power. 
  For listeners who believe in justice — and for those who've stopped believing in it.

  The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the late Spring and Autumn period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun"), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills or art related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years, it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare, has influenced both East Asian and Western military theory and thinking, and has found a variety of applications in myriad competitive non-military endeavors across the modern world including espionage, culture, politics, business, and sports.
  
  The book contains a detailed explanation and analysis of the 5th-century BC Chinese military, from weapons, environmental conditions, and strategy to rank and discipline. Sun also stressed the importance of intelligence operatives and espionage to the war effort. Considered one of history's finest military tacticians and analysts, his teachings and strategies formed the basis of advanced military training throughout the world.

  Three powerful men converge on the banks of the Red Cedar River in the early 1900s in southern Minnesota—George Albert Hormel, founder of what will become the $10 billion food conglomerate Hormel Foods; Alpha LaRue Eberhart, the author's paternal grandfather and Hormel's executive vice president and corporate secretary; and Ransome Josiah Thomson, Hormel's comptroller. Over ten years, Thomson will embezzle $1.2 million from the company's coffers, nearly bringing the company to its knees. 
   
   
   
  The Butcher, The Embezzler, and The Fall Guy opens in 1922 as George Hormel calls Eberhart into his office and demands his resignation. Hailed as the true leader of the company he'd helped Hormel build—is Eberhart complicit in the embezzlement? Far worse than losing his job and the great wealth he'd rightfully accumulated is that his beloved young wife, Lena, is dying while their three children grieve alongside. Of course, his story doesn't end there. 
   
   
   
  In scale both intimate and grand, Cherington deftly weaves the histories of Hormel, Eberhart, and Thomson within the sweeping landscape of our country's early industries, along with keen observations about business leaders gleaned from her thirty-five-year career advising top company executives.

  The City Council of Mendacious Crest has a historic strategy for dealing with problems: ignore it and it will go away.  The game of avoidance is over. Payment is due. The Piper must be paid. What currency does it cost them? 
  Mysterious, witty, and unapologetically bold, I Didn’t Screw the Mayor. He Screwed Me is a true political drama that unearths the principles in a predatory political system—and what it costs a Michigan businesswoman (or is she) to stand tall in the city that made her, now hellbent to break her. 
  Searing with financial betrayal, persona deception, and political cunning, the cost of getting compensated is more than suspicious.

  From the fog-shrouded streets of 1870s Philadelphia to the stormy depths of the Magellan Straits, history is littered with ghosts—people who simply stepped off the face of the earth. 
  In Mysteries of the Missing, author and narrator Edward Richardson painstakingly exhumes the most baffling vanishings of the 19th century. Through meticulously researched historical records, heart-wrenching ransom notes, and the wild public frenzy that followed, Richardson rebuilds the agonizing uncertainty that surrounded these legendary cases. 
  Discover the tragic truth behind the iconic abduction of little Charlie Ross, the very case that birthed the phrase "don't take candy from strangers." Trace the final, doomed sea voyage of Theodosia Burr, the brilliant and devoted daughter of Aaron Burr, whose tragic disappearance spawned decades of pirate legends and deathbed confessions. Unravel the political intrigue that led Archduke Johann Salvator of Austria to renounce his royal titles, take the name John Orth, and vanish forever into the tempests of Cape Horn. 
  Mysteries of the Missing is more than a historical recount—it is an exploration of the agonizing human curiosity that cannot let the lost remain lost. Perfect for true crime enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone mesmerized by unsolved enigmas, this book proves that no mystery is sweeter, or more agonizing, than a person who leaves no trace behind.
