  Giancarlo Granda finally reveals the truth about his relationship with Becki Falwell and her husband Jerry Falwell Jr., and the hidden world of political influence, high finance, and criminal intrigue. 
  Jerry Falwell Jr. is a prominent figure in the evangelical world whose support for presidential candidate Donald J. Trump helped secure Trump's Republican nomination in 2016. He captured headlines when it was revealed that he and his wife Becki had participated in a years-long bizarre sexual relationship with a pool attendant they met at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach. As Falwell Jr. began to deny this relationship, even more damaging news came out, ultimately forcing him to resign as president of Liberty University, which many consider to be the largest evangelical Christian university in the world.  
  Giancarlo Granda is now ready to share the story of his years on an ""only in America"" rollercoaster ride through the monied corridors of power and profound hypocrisy.

  After a brutal assault in NYC, Haely moves to San Francisco to try and reinvent herself. Unfortunately, she isn’t prepared to teach in the men’s county jail, and all the inmates know it. Drawn into a reckless romance with Ghost, a charming but calculating burglar she meets inside, Haely's obsession with uncovering his disturbing secrets thrusts her into a waking nightmare of drugs and violence, from which she may not survive. 
  Meanwhile in Prague, frat boy Otto Tepidstein grapples with the emotional fallout of having been cheated on. His quest for unattainable justice leads him down a Kafka-esque rabbit hole into Prague's gritty underworld of sexual depravity. There he has a chance encounter with Milka, a phlebotomist seemingly out of place in the world of sex work. 
  When an unsettling video surfaces on a porn site, depicting unspeakable acts, the twisted connections between these four troubled souls leads each one to their own irreversible fate. 
  In this lurid tale, based on true events, we discover that no matter our backgrounds, we all stand on the brink—one poor choice away from an abyss of self-destruction from which there is no return. As Nietzsche said, "sometimes you stare into the hole, and sometimes the hole stares back."

  A devious speakeasy owner. A crooked undertaker. A cunning bartender. A psychotic cabbie. A hapless greengrocer. A notorious thug.
  And one Irishman who came to be known as 'Iron Mike'.
  Set around New York's Prohibition-era speakeasy scene in the 1930s in what became known as 'the most grotesque chain of events in New York criminal history', The Many Murders of Michael Malloy is the tragic true story of six low-rent, desperate and extraordinarily incompetent murderers and one lonely Irish emigrant of exceptional fortitude and resilience.
  Poisoned, frozen, knocked down twice – Malloy survived it all, until he didn't.
  This is the utterly compelling, stranger-than-fiction story of the most infamous Irish murder you've never heard of.

  The Netflix series "Till murder do us part: Soering vs. Haysom" deals with the Haysom murders in detail, but the love affair between Elizabeth Haysom and Jens Soering comes up a little short. What was their relationship really like back then? How could Jens have fallen  so deeply in love with Elizabeth that he was willing to get involved in a double-murder?Jens wrote about this years ago in A far, far better thing (Lantern Books 2017). While the focus of that book is on the murders, seven chapters have almost nothing to do with the crime. Instead, they describe the passionate early months of Elizabeth's and Jens's affair, as well as the five months they spent together on the run in south-eastern Europe, Asia and Great Britain.In this audiobook, Jens reads these seven chapters from A far, far better thing himself. This material is  perfectly capable of standing on its own; listeners don't need to know anything about the murder case in order to be drawn into the romantic spell of the story.Was Elizabeth's and Jens's affair really just a nightmare of manipulation and deception? Or was it  perhaps also, at least for a time, something beautiful?

  In 1988, Judge Joe O'Kicki was regarded by his peers as one of the most brilliant legal minds in the United States. He was newly remarried, sworn in as the president judge of a Pennsylvania county and on the fast track to a federal bench . . .  
   
   
   
  Silently, however, a state police vice unit was in the midst of covert operation into O'Kicki's personal affairs. The judge would be accused of soliciting bribes, frequenting brothels, and running the county as if he were a "battleship commander." Later he'd concoct a plan to flee the country and exact revenge on his enemies. 
   
   
   
  Set in the aftermath of the 1977 Johnstown flood and including courtroom testimony, the memos of whistleblowers, contemporary interviews, and excerpts from O'Kicki's unfinished tell-all memoir, Jailing the Johnstown Judge is a fresh examination of the extraordinary western Pennsylvania case that attained international infamy.
