Sinopse

"Anyone can commit a murder, but it takes an artist to commit a suicide." – Old KGB saying
The high-profile death of government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly twenty-one years ago, amid the tumult of Britain's controversial invasion of Iraq, plunged the New Labour government into crisis and led to the resignation of the BBC's director general. An informal inquiry chaired by Lord Hutton into the circumstances surrounding Kelly's death cleared the government of wrongdoing but was widely dismissed as a whitewash.
The Strange Death of David Kelly argues that neither the medical evidence nor David Kelly's state of mind and personality supported the verdict of suicide.
Analysing the official process instigated after Kelly's death, putting the entire episode into its political context and scrutinising the actions of the government in launching the Iraq War, this new edition of the instant bestseller is fully updated to include the latest evidence and theories surrounding this most mysterious and political of deaths.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In the annals of criminal history, few cases are as disturbing as that of Robert Hendy-Freegard—a master manipulator who earned the nickname "The Puppet Master" for his ability to control his victims' every move. This gripping true crime investigation by Walid Saleh exposes the shocking story of Britain's most dangerous con artist, whose sophisticated psychological warfare destroyed families and shattered lives across two decades. 
    Unlike ordinary criminals who rely on physical force or simple fraud, Freegard wielded something far more insidious: the power to completely rewire his victims' reality. Posing as an MI5 agent, he convinced university students they were being hunted by Irish terrorists, forcing them to abandon their families, friends, and futures. For ten years, his victims lived in constant fear of phantom enemies while he systematically drained their families of over one million pounds. 
    From the agricultural colleges of rural England to the corridors of Scotland Yard, from broken families in London to FBI operations across the Atlantic, this is more than just a crime story—it's a terrifying exploration of human vulnerability and the darkest capabilities of the criminal mind. 
    This meticulously researched account serves as both a riveting true crime narrative and a crucial warning about the sophisticated predators who walk among us. It's a story that will make you question everything you think you know about trust, manipulation, and the very nature of evil itself.

    When Manny McDonnell was twelve, he awoke to discover British troops surrounding his home in the toughest area of trouble-torn Belfast. Internment had begun and, encouraged by a fiercely Republican mother, he took to the streets with other school kids, throwing bricks, bottles and petrol bombs at soldiers. Jailed at fifteen for having IRA links, he became a unit commander leading deadly missions for the INLA before joining the IPLO, a group so vicious even the IRA ordered it to disband. But his decades of commitment to a free united Ireland turned to disillusion when bombs indiscriminately killed two little boys in mainland Britain. It was a wake-up call and, sickened by the way events were unfolding, McDonnell distanced himself from the Troubles and began to spend more time in Scotland with major gangland players Paul Ferris and Tam 'The Licensee' McGraw. Friendly with both, he then faced difficult choices when the two fell out and became bitter rivals and sworn enemies. Lighting Candles is an astonishing and horrifying exposé of one man's journey through the blood, bombs and bullets of the paramilitaries to the criminal activities of drug-smuggling gangsters. It is also a story of how, no matter what has gone before, it's possible to put the past behind you and begin again.

  • You Can't Win - The Classic American Underworld Memoir - cover

    You Can't Win - The Classic...

    You Can't Win is the pioneering American criminal underworld memoir written by Jack Black, a burglar, drifter and criminal active in early 1900's America. Black's astonishing accounts of hopping trains, cracking safes, escaping prison cells, and drug addiction offers an unusually vivid portrait of American underworld life over a century ago. Beat legend William S. Burroughs ('Junkie') cited the book as influential in his life and writing. 
    In his striking, deadpan and humorous memoir, the author recaptures the transient underworld of the early twentieth century. In You Can't Win, the reader will meet unforgettable underworld characters as diverse and fascinating as: 'Foot and a Half George'; 'Salt Chunk Mary'; 'The Sanctimonious Kid'; 'Soldier Johnnie'; and others. 
    With an accompanying bonus Glossary of Hobo, Tramp, and Transient Terminology, You Can't Win tells of Black's experiences in the hobo and criminal underworld, freight-hopping around North America in the early 1900's. The book is among the first to introduce the fascinating 'yegg' subculture, a prototypical form of criminal Hobo or bum prevalent in the USA around the turn of the century. You Can't Win is a must-listen for fans of true crime, American history, Beat writers, and hobo-yegg culture. 
    The main criminal activity of Black's life and of the book is thievery, which leads to discussions of various technical aspects of the thief's trade, including: the casing of prospects (surveillance of targets), safe-cracking, fencing of stolen goods, the disposal of evidence, maintaining aliases and avoiding attention or traceability, the social networks of criminals, and doing time in jails and prisons. The vices and addictions Black reveals include alcoholism, abuse of opium ('hop'), gambling, prostitution, and stealing.
