  Shocking True Crimes can happen in Your Street. 
   
  From acclaimed true crime author and podcaster Emily Webb comes a gripping collection of chilling cases from Australia and beyond. This volume delves into both well-known and obscure crimes, revealing the dark underbelly lurking beneath seemingly peaceful neighbourhoods. 
   
  In 1977, the murder of an Australian nurse living in Texas shocked the community and remains unsolved to this day. In 1950, the disappearance of a Melbourne woman led to the largest search of its time, only for her husband to later confess to disposing of her body under dubious circumstances. 
   
  The book also examines decades of baby abductions from hospitals, suburban homes, and public streets, highlighting the vulnerability of the most innocent among us. The still-unsolved murder of elderly "gentleman grocer" Frank Newbery in Newcastle serves as a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk in the most familiar places. 
   
  In the 1950s, a cricket match in suburban Adelaide turned into a scene of terror when a gunman opened fire, fatally shooting one player and injuring another. In 1973, during a bustling football game at Adelaide Oval, 11-year-old Joanne Ratcliffe and 4-year-old Kirste Gordon vanished without a trace, their disappearances haunting the community to this day 
   
  Murder in the Suburbs is a compelling reminder that even the most tranquil street can harbor dark secrets. These true accounts will leave you questioning the safety of the world just outside your door. 
   
   
  ‘Webb certainly whets the appetite for more reading around these cases … A solid addition to any true crime lover’s bookshelf.’ GLAM 
   
  ‘Her telling of a range of tales reads as factual, careful and very considered … That doesn't mean that she shies away from explaining what happened to many of these victims, it, fortunately, lacks the sensationalism that can sometimes be found in these sorts of accounts.’ AustralianCrimeFiction.org

  Nothing can be more terrifying than knowing the streets are being prowled by a twisted serial killer. To be a female of a certain age and profession on the streets of 19th century London, with the knowledge that one of your clients could be Jack the ripper himself. 
   
  There were many more Jack the Rippers in the world. 
   
  Every human has a capacity for good or evil. We are all dark and light. This has been known for thousands of years. It has been written, preached and symbolised across the world. 
   
  Just as there are those in history who have stood out for their compassion and good works, there are also those who have become infamous for their propensity to evil. From serial killers who murder one human after another to dictators who order mass genocide upon their own citizens - evil knows no bounds. 
   
  But what is it that creates these people? Is there an inbuilt genetic lock inside awaiting the turning of a key? Or are these people the result of their life experiences? Does abuse by parents play a key role? Does society itself have to answer for the actions of the murderers that it creates? 
   
  It is time to delve deep into the world and mind of serial killers and discover why they kill.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  My Father, The Forger: The Untold Confession of Arthur Williams 
  In the shadows of a struggling Chicago neighborhood, a boy stared into an empty refrigerator and made a silent vow: he would never be powerless again. 
  This is the gripping true-crime saga of Arthur J. Williams Jr. — the criminal mastermind the FBI branded "the greatest counterfeiter in U.S. history." From abandonment and crushing poverty to a secret basement workshop where ink, paper, and obsession transformed into raw power, Arthur's journey is a chilling descent into a world where art becomes weapon, and genius becomes curse. 
  Trained by a shadowy mentor and consumed by a desperate hunger to provide, Arthur engineered near-perfect hundred-dollar bills that fooled banks, outsmarted cutting-edge security features, and triggered one of the largest federal manhunts in modern history. He built an empire of forged fortunes — invisible, untouchable, untraceable. 
  But the FBI didn't bring him down. Neither did his rivals. The blow came from the one person he loved most — his own teenage son. 
  A single impulsive mistake. A secret empire unraveled. A father's legacy turned to ash by the hands of his own blood. 
  Told with cinematic intensity and unflinching psychological depth, this audiobook is more than a crime story — it's a haunting meditation on family, betrayal, moral collapse, and the fragile possibility of redemption. When the same hands that forged millions in counterfeit cash finally learn to create something real — art, truth, and a second chance — you'll discover that the greatest forgery of all… may have been the life he was living.

  From the 1910 disappearance of New York heiress Dorothy Arnold to the 1977 vanishing of teenager Simone Ridinger, author Brunelle details both famous and lesser-known cases that remain unsolved. Board a luxury liner with Agnes Tufverson as she embarks on a European honeymoon before her mysterious 1933 disappearance over the Atlantic; follow Jean Spangler to a famous 1940s Hollywood nightclub as she arrives for a clandestine meeting in a private booth. 
   
   
   
  Due to a strong belief that good girls didn't disappear, when authorities and family members were presented with missing women in the twentieth century, it was often assumed that they had simply ran away. Most investigations were funded by family members, and when women were found to be the victims of violent crime, they were faulted for placing themselves in dangerous situations. On the rare occasions when authorities investigated cases, they relied on interviews and cash trails in combination with rudimentary forensics such as blood typing and fingerprinting to find missing persons. For those reasons, many of the real stories from this time period have yet to be told. Featuring never-before-seen letters and documents, personal interviews, and genealogical research, alongside captivating storytelling, Brunelle delves deep into the lives of those who disappeared and the circumstances surrounding their cases.
