  15 Celebrity Crime Stories: Fame, Greed & the Dark Side of Stardom 
  They had everything. Fame, wealth, success, adoration. Yet behind the glamorous headlines and red carpet moments lies a darker truth—one where power corrupts, desperation destroys, and a single choice can shatter a life forever. 
  From a rising Hollywood actress strangled by her jealous boyfriend to a legendary music producer convicted of murder, from a silent film scandal that changed an industry to a Bollywood star's tragic end, these are the true crime stories that shocked the world and exposed the shadow side of stardom. 
  What happens when talented people make catastrophic decisions? When privilege shields them from justice? When obsession turns violent? What drives someone to exploit others in the pursuit of fame? 
  This audiobook takes you inside fifteen gripping true stories spanning decades and continents. You'll meet the victims, the perpetrators, the families destroyed by violence, and the flawed justice system that sometimes failed them. These aren't sensational tales—they're raw, honest accounts of how addiction, power, and human weakness intersect in the entertainment world. 
  Perfect for fans of true crime podcasts, investigative documentaries, and real-life mysteries, each story is meticulously researched and told with the intimate, conversational tone of someone sitting beside you, unfolding these darker chapters of celebrity history. 
  Listen and discover: What really happens when the spotlight fades and the masks come off?

It’s a story of survival, resilience, and the search for peace, filled with unexpected twists and moments of profound reflection.

  SHORTLISTED FOR THE NED KELLEY AWARD FOR BEST TRUE CRIME 
   
  A bank robber on the run. A young woman at a crossroad. A true story like you've never read before. 
  Jean Kay, my skipper, fellow adventurer, my friend. My brother. 
   
  Jean Kay, soldier-of-fortune, opportunist, embezzler, hijacker. 
   
  In her youth, amidst the throes of a reckless grief, aspiring Australian writer Marele Day is caught up in a shipwreck adventure and forges an unlikely bond with an international fugitive travelling under a pseudonym. For the next 30 years they correspond before reuniting, both older and wiser, in France. 
   
  Marele is now an accomplished crime writer, and while she knew of her travel companion’s previous reputation as ‘the high-jacker with heart’ and ‘brother to the poor’, she is intrigued to discover his connection to the disappearance of eight million francs and a secret dossier that made global headlines.  
   
  Brilliantly crafted, Reckless tells the story of how Marele uncovers the truth about Jean Kay’s identity and motives by piecing together clues from their letters, her diaries and a stash of newspaper clippings, and how, in the process of telling his story, she ultimately makes peace with the reckless ghosts of her past.

  Sometimes, looking at your past can give you the strength to move forward. As the classic symptoms of Parkinsonâs disease began to take control of Simonâs life, he became a shadow of his former self. After months of fighting to keep the disease in check, Simon finally found the strength to tell his family and even managed to book an appointment with a neurologist. Sadly, at a time when he needed an experienced health care professional to help him fight his corner, what he got was a cold, uncaring man who clearly had no time for his situation. However, his initial assessment proved to be 100% accurate; at just 36 years of age, Simon was told he had Parkinsons disease.  
  The desire to produce a written account of his life for his immediate family and friends led to "A Life Worth Living". Ingram looks back at his life, often with humour and pathos, and decides that the way to keep going is to appreciate the life he has led. The only way to fight is to appreciate what battles he has already fought and won. After all, what else makes a life worth living? Ingramâs first-hand account of his life from his early childhood to teen years to his first signs of the debilitating disease give an insiderâs look at not just a âdiseaseâ but a man.
