  Ted Bundy was one of the most infamous rapists and sexual predators, necrophiles, and murderers in the western part of the United States. Having been abused in his childhood and fed pornographic material from an early age, his crimes became more daring, violent, and vicious as he got a thrill from dismembering or sexually tormenting one victim after another. 
  At the end of his life, after several escapes from prison, he was convicted and got the electric chair. Even then, despite his confessions, his manipulative ways seemed to have so much influence on the women he had dated, that many still proclaimed their love for him and were sad to see him leave this world. 
  Starting out as a peeping tom and ending up as an abductor who would blatantly break into someone’s home and kidnap a victim for rape and torture, perhaps there is something for us to learn about the inherent nature of crime, sociopathy, and uncontrolled sexual urges. 
  If this is your cup of tea, then go ahead and learn more about him. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.

  In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
   
   
   
  Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
   
   
   
  William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.

  Time Bomb - Irish Bombs English...

  Fifty years after the Guildford bombings, the case remains profoundly relevant today.  This new  edition is completely updated and revised with startling new material.  The Guildford Four endured 15 years behind bars for a crime they did not commit. The only evidence against them was their confessions extracted through intimidation and violence. Three Surrey police officers were acquitted of wrongdoing in 1993, but as this new edition reveals, there is testimony, never published, that corroborates evidence of far wider police malpractice.  Time Bomb was central to the reopening of the case of the Guildford Four when it was published in 1988 – exposing this egregious miscarriage of justice, and telling the chilling parallel story of the men actually responsible for the bombings, the London Active Service Unit, whose 1974-75 IRA campaign terrorised Britain.  Profoundly relevant today, as Michael Mansfield identifies in his introduction, the case of the Guildford Four is essentially the prototype of the corruption and concealment scandals which have beset the UK, from the Stephen Lawrence case through to the Post Office scandal, and asks how we can galvanise reform.  'Every twist and turn needs to be lived by the reader… page after page of compelling and mesmerising fact.  As you proceed, the magnitude of these events strikes a sense of burning injustice.'  Michael Mansfield

  When darkness consumed the city that never sleeps... 
  In 1976, New York City became the hunting ground for one of America's most notorious serial killers. David Berkowitz, known as the "Son of Sam," transformed from an abandoned child into a monster who terrorized millions, changing the lives and habits of an entire metropolis. 
  This gripping audiobook takes you deep into the mind of a killer whose crimes weren't just about murder—they were about fame, recognition, and a twisted desire to be remembered. Through meticulously researched details, witness how loneliness, rejection, and psychological trauma can create a real-life nightmare.

  But the story doesn't end with his capture. David's shocking transformation in prison—from violent killer to peaceful Christian—raises profound questions about redemption, genuine change, and the nature of evil itself. His ultimate decision to refuse parole hearings challenges everything we think we know about justice and personal responsibility. 
  What happened when New York fell silent? Find out in this complete, unflinching examination of one of criminal history's most fascinating cases.
