  This program is read by the author.In his forceful follow-up to Moneyland, Oliver Bullough unravels the dark secret of how Britain placed itself at the center of the global offshore economy and at the service of the worst people in the world.The Suez Crisis of 1956 was the nadir of Britain's twentieth century, the moment when the once-superpower was bullied into retreat. "Great Britain has lost an empire and not yet found a role," said Dean Acherson, a former US secretary of state. Acheson's line has entered into the canon of great quotations: but it was wrong. Britain had already found a role. The leaders of the world just hadn't noticed it yet.Butler to the World reveals how Britain came to assume its role as the center of the offshore economy. Written polemically, but studded with witty references to the butlers of popular fiction, it demonstrates how so many elements of modern Britain have been put at the service of the world's oligarchs.The Biden administration is putting corruption at the heart of its foreign policy, and that means it needs to confront Britain's role as the foremost enabler of financial crime and ill behavior. This audiobook lays bare how London has deliberately undercut U.S. regulations for decades, and calls into question the extent to which Britain can be considered a reliable ally.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

  On a December night in 1978, Courtney Lund O'Neil's mother, teenaged Kim Byers, saw her friend Rob Piest alive for the last time. At the end of his shift at the pharmacy where they both worked, fifteen-year-old Rob went outside to speak to a contractor named John Wayne Gacy about a possible job. That night Rob became Gacy's final victim; his body was later found in the Des Plaines River. Kim's testimony, along with a receipt belonging to her found in Gacy's house, proving that Rob had been there, would be pivotal in convicting the serial killer who assaulted and killed over thirty young men and boys. 
   
   
   
  Though she grew up far from Des Plaines, Courtney has lived in the shadow of that nightmare, keenly aware of its impact on her mother. In search of deeper understanding and closure, Courtney and Kim travel back to Illinois. Postmortem transforms their personal journey into a powerful exploration of the ever-widening ripples generated by Gacy's crimes. From the 1970s to the present day, his shadow extends beyond the victims' families and friends—it encompasses the Des Plaines neighborhood forever marked by his horrific murders, generations of the victims' families and friends, those who helped arrest and convict him, and many others. Postmortem is a complex story of loss and violence, grief and guilt, and the legacy that remains long after a killer is caught.

  Since 2008, the Fourniret affair has been devastating France and Belgium. The serial killer Michel Fourniret was sentenced to life imprisonment for a series of kidnappings, rapes and murders. His wife, Monique Olivier, was also given life imprisonment with preventive detention of twenty-eight years. Their shadows continue to hover over some thirty unsolved murders.
  In 2014, the journalist Oli Porri Santoro began his investigation; and in the process, he met and befriended Selim, the only son of the diabolical couple. Selim had since built a new life for himself in the south of France, under a new identity. 
  The day after their meeting, fate intervened. Selim received a letter from his father, whom he had not heard from for ten years. Over the next ten years, Santoro and Selim began corresponding with Fourniret (there are more than a hundred letters) and met him in prison at Ensisheim in Alsace. 
  This is a true story never before told, with unpublished confessions of murders never obtained by investigators, the revealing of the name of a potential accomplice, evidence of Michel Fourniret's presence at the Ranucci trial in 1976, and the truth about the fate of the remains of the Postiches gang treasure.
