    The naive, happy innocence of a child before it is ripped away - that is what the killers profiled in this book stole from their victims. They stole their youth, innocence, any happiness, and normalcy associated with growing up in a world they thought they'd be safe in.True crime isn't only about serial killers and rapists and pedophiles and organized crime. It is also about the victims left behind to serve their own life sentences, often without anyone to help them make it through the awful ordeal.As it turns out, the Midwest, Indiana, in particular, is a veritable hotbed of killer activity. Some people may find this surprising, given the lengths to which people in the Midwest go to be, or at least to appear, friendly and morally upright. But to anyone, including myself, who has spent any real time in the Midwest, it is obvious that beneath the veneer of friendliness and piety, there is a coldness - an Arctic coldness, the same coldness that lies in the depths of a serial killer’s heart.If you dare, enter the world of Small Town Murder. ungekürzt.

    A woman with multiple personalities is suspected of murdering her childhood abuser: "The most intriguing and deftly imagined mystery I have read in years." -Thomas H. Cook, Edgar Award-winning author of The Chatham School Affair All of Us is a riveting thriller with six compelling protagonists-who all share one body. Legally, she is Carolyn Grand. In practice, she is Martha, a homemaker who cooks and cleans for her "family"; Victoria, a put-together people person; Serena, a free spirit; Kirk, a heterosexual man; Eleni, a promiscuous risk-taker; and Tina, a manifestation of what is left of Carolyn after years of childhood sexual abuse. As they jockey for control of their body, all the personalities also work together to avoid being committed to a psychiatric facility. But Carolyn's tenuous normal is shattered when Hank Grand, the man who abused her and leased her out to pedophiles, is released from prison. Soon he begins stalking her, bringing back painful memories for all of the personalities. When Hank is murdered in a seedy hotel room, Carolyn is immediately a prime suspect. But the man has other shady dealings, and the burden of proof weighs heavy on the police-especially when, propelled by demons of his own, one of the detectives assigned to the case finds his way into Carolyn's very solitary life. And the police are left wondering: Are any of Carolyn's personalities capable of murder? From the author of The Yards, this is a twisting suspense novel about trauma and dissociative identity disorder filled with "narratives of startling intimacy that make it difficult for the reader to disengage" (Booklist).

Former CIA assassin Alex Parker works for The Gateway Project, a clandestine government organization hell-bent on taking out serial killers and pedophiles before they enter the justice system. Alex doesn't enjoy killing, but he's damn good at it. He's good at dodging the law, too--until a beautiful rookie agent has him wondering what it might be like to get caught. FBI Special Agent Mallory Rooney has spent years hunting the lowlife who abducted her identical twin sister eighteen years ago. Now, during an on-going serial killer investigation, Mallory begins to suspect there's a vigilante operating outside the law. She has no choice but to take him down, because murder isn't justice. Is it? When Mallory starts asking questions, The Gateway Project management starts to sweat, and orders Alex to watch her. As soon as they meet, the two begin to fall in love. But the lies and betrayals that define Alex's life threaten to destroy them both - especially when the man who stole her sister all those years ago makes Mallory his next target, and Alex must reveal his true identity to save the woman he loves. ungekürzt.

    Susie starts off the show with shocking international news: some inhabitants of the Greek Island of Lesbos are not happy sharing their name with lesbians. Locals as well as gay people are rightly identified as "Lesbos", and this is causing problems for some islanders. Who is really gay and who is just a Lesbo-ian? A court date has been set to stop a gay-rights organization from calling themselves lesbians. Next, we take a look at how virtual porn has put the FBI on high, red, and weird alert! Susie reads an expose from investigative journalist Debbie Nathan, who spent some time learning how the American Academy of Forensic Sciences uncovers the difference between real and computer-generated child porn. Sexualized images of real children are illegal, but computer-generated images are okay, because they don't show actual kids. This debate has gotten even hotter now that it's harder to tell what's real - computer-editing programs can turn us all into amateur touch-up artists. Many questions have arisen from the Feds' investigations, such as "Do virtual pictures attract pedophiles?" Finally, in the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a listener who's having a hard time seducing girls - because he wears a white ribbon. Don't forget, you can send your confidential questions, feedback about the show, and requests for girly cards to susie@audible.com.

    “We are all wanderers on this earth. Our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams.” (Old Romani proverb)In the 21st century, cultural differences and individuality are often celebrated and protected across much of the world, and given society's conscientious awareness of such phenomena, it is, therefore, all the more surprising when considering the ignorance or indifference that the world, at large, exhibits toward the Romani people. Otherwise known as the “Roma” or by their popular misnomer “the gypsies”, the members of this highly undervalued and grossly misrepresented community have long been considered outcasts. More often than not, the Romani are branded by even those who fancy themselves liberals as “pikeys”, “gyppos”, and “gips”. There's also a regrettably common term “gypped” meaning “to cheat, or swindle” which perpetuates the damaging stereotype that the Roma are dishonest nuisances and societal pests. Even well-intentioned attempts to shine the spotlight on the community have sometimes been counterproductive, for they are often reduced to no more than exotic, whimsical entertainers for the privileged. According to a shocking email authored by an anonymous whistleblower in 2012, the staff at the Laurieston Job Center in Glasgow's Southside regularly referred to their Romani customers as “gypos, scum, beggars, suicide bombers, thieves, and pedophiles”. The whistleblower cited the staff's disturbing comments regarding an unnamed Romani woman who had brought her two children along to the job center: “The staff were all joking and saying they should sanction her for claiming whilst pimping out her kids. They then went on to make horrible remarks about the children, saying they were "mongs".On August 5th of the same year, over 700 far-right “activists” stormed the heavily Romani-populated Hungarian village of Devescer. “Gypsy criminals,” the mob chanted as they hurled rocks, paving stones, and ungekürzt.
