Summary

A Shimmering Light is an Italian mystery novel. The story follows a path that is a little unusual in that the same episode is told by several main characters from different perspectives, illustrating how reality and truth may take on tonalities and colors, according to the different points of view. Someone dies; an American Commissioner is on vacation in a sunlit village in Puglia. With fresh and colorful brushstrokes the author gives a close up of the traditions, beliefs, and the ways of thinking that are characteristic and unique to a village, similar to many in Italy.
An ending with an unexpected plot twist, engaging, surprising.

    Criminology is the scientific study of crime, criminals, and the criminal justice system. It examines the nature, causes, and consequences of criminal behavior, seeking to understand why individuals engage in crime and how society responds to such acts. Criminology is not limited to merely studying criminal acts, but also investigates the societal reactions to crime, the policies implemented to combat it, and the broader impact on social structures. As a multidisciplinary field, criminology draws upon theories and methods from sociology, psychology, law, and political science, making it a vital area of study for both academic and practical purposes. 
    The evolution of criminology dates back to ancient civilizations, where crime and punishment were often directly linked to religious or cultural beliefs. In these early stages, crime was seen as a moral failing or an act that required divine intervention. However, as societies progressed, the understanding of crime became more secular and focused on the individual and social factors influencing criminal behavior. During the 18th century, the field of criminology began to take shape with the introduction of the Classical School of Criminology, which argued that individuals have free will and make rational decisions based on pleasure and pain. This theory laid the foundation for modern criminal law and criminal justice systems.

    JACK THE RIPPER   
    The True Story   
    The summary of this audiobook is as follows: 
    Between August and November 1888, London's impoverished Whitechapel district was terrorized by a series of brutal murders attributed to "Jack the Ripper," the first notorious serial killer. Five women—Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—were killed, all prostitutes in their 40s except Kelly (25). The killer targeted victims in secluded areas, slitting their throats before mutilating their bodies with surgical precision, often removing organs. The escalating violence suggested an increasingly confident killer, possibly with medical or anatomical knowledge. 
    The murders occurred in Victorian London's East End, an overcrowded slum plagued by poverty, crime, and social tensions. Poor living conditions and limited opportunities for women forced many into prostitution, making them vulnerable targets. Despite an extensive police investigation led by Inspector Frederick Abberline, the killer evaded capture, partly due to forensic limitations and the chaotic environment.

    The diminutive Joaquín Guzmán Loera, known universally by his nickname of 'El Chapo' ('Shorty' in Spanish), is the highest-profile narco-terrorist since the demise of Pablo Escobar in the 1990s. Loera began work at the age of nine as a gomero - a farmhand harvesting opium - and as he grew up he shot and murdered his way to the top. In 2009, he made the Forbes annual billionaires list and, before his capture by Mexican marines in 2016, the Sinaloa cartel which he commanded was turning over more than $11 billion in annual sales to North America, supplying more than 10 per cent of all illegal narcotics used on that continent. This made him Public Enemy Number One in the USA. 
     
    El Chapo was among the most powerful individuals in the world. In Sinaloa, he was a folk hero and the subject of popular songs known as 'narcocorridos'. Meanwhile, America's Drug Enforcement Agency (the DEA) had sworn to hunt him down. Featuring the remarkable tale of El Chapo's arrest in Guatemala in 1993, how he continued to run his cartel from his cell in a Mexican jail and his subsequent escape in a prison laundry cart, along with his recapture in 2014, and ultimate extradition to the US for the Trial of the Century, this book gives you the inside track on the dog-eat-dog world of international drugs trafficking.
