Synopsis

In the heart of New York City, a notorious drug gang known as the Wild Cowboys held the city in its iron grip, spreading fear and despair wherever they went. But a beacon of hope emerged in the form of the Homicide Investigation Unit (HIU), a group of seasoned detectives determined to bring down the gang and restore peace to the city.

Led by the brilliant and unorthodox Walter Arsenault, the HIU embarked on a relentless pursuit of justice, facing danger and adversity at every turn. The Wild Cowboys were a formidable foe, with a network of informants and a ruthless determination to protect their turf. But the HIU detectives refused to be deterred. They delved deep into the gang's operations, gathering intelligence, building cases, and forming alliances with those who dared to stand against the Wild Cowboys.

As the investigation progressed, the HIU uncovered a web of corruption that extended far beyond the gang's own ranks. Politicians, law enforcement officials, and even members of the community were implicated, all benefiting from the Wild Cowboys' illicit activities. The HIU found themselves fighting not only against the gang but also against a system that seemed determined to protect it.

Yet, amidst the darkness, the HIU's unwavering commitment to justice shone through. They refused to be silenced, even when their lives were on the line. They fought for the voiceless, for the victims who had suffered at the hands of the Wild Cowboys. And slowly but surely, they began to turn the tide.

Blood, Sweat, and Bullets is a gripping narrative that reads like a crime thriller, telling the story of the HIU's relentless pursuit of justice and the ultimate downfall of the Wild Cowboys. It is a tale of courage, determination, and the power of ordinary people to make a difference in the face of overwhelming odds.

This book is a must-read for fans of true crime, law enforcement stories, and tales of triumph over adversity. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

We Were Once a Family - A Story...

Roxanna Asgarian

One of Literary Hub's most anticipated books of 2023"Narrator Suehyla El-Attar gives an impassioned performance that enhances the touching, terrifying tale of social injustice and systemic failure. Her delivery is compelling and clear, evoking a captivating listening experience from this true-crime tragedy."- Library JournalThe shocking, deeply reported story of a murder-suicide that claimed the lives of six children—and a searing indictment of the American foster care system.On March 26, 2018, rescue workers discovered a crumpled SUV and the bodies of two women and several children at the bottom of a cliff beside the Pacific Coast Highway. Investigators soon concluded that the crash was a murder-suicide, but there was more to the story: Jennifer and Sarah Hart, it turned out, were a white married couple who had adopted the six Black children from two different Texas families in 2006 and 2008. Behind the family's loving facade, however, was a pattern of abuse and neglect that went ignored as the couple withdrew the children from school and moved across the country. It soon became apparent that the State of Texas knew very little about the two individuals to whom it had given custody of six children—with fateful consequences.In the manner of Adrian Nicole LeBlanc's Random Family and other classic works of investigative journalism, Roxanna Asgarian’s We Were Once a Family is a revelation of vulnerable lives; it is also a shattering exposé of the foster care and adoption systems that produced this tragedy. As a journalist in Houston, Asgarian became the first reporter to put the children’s birth families at the center of the story. We follow the author as she runs up against the intransigence of a state agency that removes tens of thousands of kids from homes each year in the name of child welfare, while often failing to consider alternatives. Her reporting uncovers persistent racial biases and corruption as children of color are separated from birth parents without proper cause. The result is a riveting narrative and a deeply reported indictment of a system that continues to fail America’s most vulnerable children while upending the lives of their families.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

You'll Never Believe Me - A Life...

Kari Ferrell

This program is read by the author.The compelling, edgy, compassionate, laugh-out-loud memoir from Kari Ferrell, formerly known as the "Hipster Grifter"Before Anna Delvey, before the Tinder Swindler, there was Kari Ferrell. Adopted at a young age by a Mormon family in Utah, Kari struggled with questions of self-worth and identity as one of the few Asian Americans in her insulated community, leading her to run with the “bad crowd” in an effort to fit in. Soon, stealing from superstores turned into picking up men (and picking their pockets), and before she knew it, Kari had graduated from petty theft to Utah’s most wanted list. Though Kari was able to escape the Southwest, she couldn’t outrun her new moniker: the Hipster Grifter. New York City’s indie sleaze scene had found its newest celebrity—just as Kari found herself in a heap of trouble. Jail time, riots, bad checks, and an explosion of internet infamy and fetishization put her name in the spotlight. Beyond the gossip and Gawker posts, there’s a side to Kari the media never saw—until now. By turns rollicking and irreverent, warm and compassionate, You’ll Never Believe Me tells Kari’s story for the first time. A heartfelt narrative of redemption and reconciliation as Kari eventually dedicates her life to activism, social justice, and setting the record straight, this memoir introduces a fresh, hilarious new voice to the literary stage and offers readers a nostalgic, uplifting, and at times unbelievable book that grapples with truth, why we lie, and what it means when our pasts don’t paint the whole picture.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Stealing Rembrandts - The Untold...

Tom Mashberg, Anthony M. Amore

Today, art theft is one of the most profitable criminal enterprises in the world, exceeding $6 billion in losses to galleries and art collectors annually. And the masterpieces of Rembrandt van Rijn are some of the most frequently targeted. 
 
 
 
In Stealing Rembrandts, art security expert Anthony M. Amore and award-winning investigative reporter Tom Mashberg reveal the actors behind the major Rembrandt heists in the last century. Through thefts around the world—from Stockholm to Boston, Worcester to Ohio—the authors track daring entries and escapes from the world's most renowned museums. There are robbers who coolly walk off with multimillion dollar paintings; self-styled art experts who fall in love with the Dutch master and desire to own his art at all costs; and international criminal masterminds who don't hesitate to resort to violence. They also show how museums are thwarted in their ability to pursue the thieves—even going so far as to conduct investigations on their own, far away from the maddening crowd of police intervention, sparing no expense to save the priceless masterpieces. 
 
 
 
Stealing Rembrandts is an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind look at the black market of art theft, and how it compromises some of the greatest treasures the world has ever known.
