Beschreibung

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.

    Bot farms, fake news, and AI propaganda are rewriting what we think is real. 
    Every day, millions of invisible accounts and automated networks fight for your attention. Some sell products. Some push politics. Many exist only to keep you angry, distracted, or uncertain. 
    Reality Hacked pulls back the curtain on the hidden systems that shape what we see and believe online. It shows how bot farms amplify outrage, how “firehose of falsehood” tactics flood social media with conflicting stories, and how artificial intelligence now manufactures entire people, movements, and events from data. 
    You’ll discover:Why truth feels harder to recognize in the digital age — and who profits from the confusion.How propaganda has evolved from state operations to a global industry run by marketers, influencers, and algorithms.How AI makes manipulation faster, cheaper, and more personal than ever.Simple, practical habits that help you see through the noise and protect your mind from engineered emotion. 
    Clear, grounded, and surprisingly hopeful, Reality Hacked explains the new rules of an online world where everything competes for belief — and how to stay human when reality itself is up for debate.

    Scott M. Deitche presents an in-depth exposé on East Harlem's notorious Purple Gang whose murderous exploits became a media obsession and Mafia lynchpin. 
     
     
     
    In the late 1970s, a string of seemingly unconnected murders had Harlem police and federal authorities at their wits' end until they realized several commonalities. The victims were all either Mafia members or potential witnesses of Mafia activity and they'd all been shot from .22 pistols traced back to a single private sale in Florida. From these details, the FBI and police were able to build a profile of a rogue sect of Mafia hitmen known as the East Harlem Purple Gang. 
     
     
     
    Starting on the fringes of Mafia families, the Purple Gang members became indispensable and installed members in the highest ranks of the Genovese, Bonanno, and Lucchese families. Often serving as freelance hitmen, kidnappers, and drug traffickers, the Purple Gang's exploits quickly crossed into mythology as media outlets scrambled to keep up with new murders and the law's crusade to bring the gang members to justice. Sifting through the mystery and mythos, author Scott M. Deitche brings readers into Harlem's gritty streets to experience the Purple Gang's reign of terror, the investigators who tried to bring them down, and the gang members who either suffered violent ends or are still at large today.

    An Australian True Crime investigation of wrongful imprisonment by the bestselling author of The Kingpin and the Crooked Cop. 
     
     
    Nine wrongful imprisonments. Nine innocent men and women freed. 
     
    Australia has a robust legal system. According to conventional wisdom, only the guilty end up behind bars. The reality is far more complex and, for First Nations Australians and other minorities in particular, the law can become a trap - one that has condemned completely innocent people to years, even decades, of wrongful imprisonment. 
     
    Impeccably researched and compelling told, Falsely Convicted exposes shocking injustices in all their devastating detail. These cases reveal how fragile truth can be, how easily lives can be destroyed, and how freedom - when it arrives - often comes only after everything else has been lost. 
     
    There's teacher Josephine Greensill, whose life was upended by allegations from two former students from three decades before. Henry Keogh, who discovered his fiancée dead in the bath, only to be accused - and convicted - of her murder due to catastrophic forensic failures. And Gene Gibson, an 18-year-old Aboriginal man from one of Australia's remotest communities, convicted of a killing by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, hindered by language barriers and entrenched prejudice. 
     
     
    In Falsely Convicted, Walkley Award–winning crime reporter and bestselling author Neil Mercer turns his investigative skills toward the most chilling crimes of all: the ones committed by the system itself.
