    Where the Bodies Were Buried: Whitey Bulger and the World That Made Him , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 969min
    New York Times best-selling author T. J. English, the acclaimed master chronicler of the Irish Mob in America, offers a front row seat at the trial of one of the most notorious gangsters of all - Whitey Bulger - and pulls back the veil to expose a breathtaking history of corruption and malfeasance. Whitey Bulger was, following the death of Osama bin Laden, the number-one fugitive on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list; he remained at large for 16 years. One of the most prominent mobsters in Boston's criminal underworld from the 1970s until his disappearance in 1995, Bulger was sometimes romanticized as a Robin Hood-esque thief and protector who looked out for his South Boston neighborhood. But the truth was much more complicated - and infinitely more sordid - as his trial on racketeering charges revealed in alarming detail. Throughout the era in which Bulger was a crime boss, he was also a top echelon informant (TE) for the FBI, supposedly helping prosecutors make organized crime cases against the mafia by feeding them information that could win them convictions in court. His relationship with the criminal justice system - an arrangement he inherited from a previous generation of gangsters and corrupt lawmen - represents the hidden horror of the Bulger story and the battleground on which prosecutors and defense lawyers clashed at his trial. There have been other books on Bulger, but none like this. T. J. English - author of Paddy Whacked, the definitive history of the Irish mob - was present every day of the proceedings, and in Where the Bodies Were Buried gives us not just an account of the trial but also a deeply sourced, disturbing portrait of the decades-long culture of collusion between the Feds and the Irish and Italian mob factions that ruled Boston and much of New England from the 1970s forward. ungekürzt.

    Mystic River (BLU-RAY)
    Als Kinder in East Buckingham, dem rauen Arbeiterviertel von Boston, haben Jimmy Markum (SEAN PENN), Dave Boyle (TIM ROBBINS) und Sean Devine (KEVIN BACON) wie viele Jungen zusammen auf der Straße Hockey gespielt. In dieser Gegend passierte selten etwas - bis zu dem Tag, an dem Dave vor den Augen seiner Gefährten in ein Auto gezerrt wurde. Danach war nichts mehr wie vorher. 25 Jahre später werden sie durch eine weitere Tragödie erneut miteinander konfrontiert: Als Jimmys 19-jährige Tochter Katie brutal ermordet wird, übernimmt Cop Sean den Fall. Zusammen mit seinem Partner Whitey Powers (LAURENCE FISHBURNE) versucht er das Rätsel hinter dem scheinbar sinnlosen Verbrechen zu lösen. Gleichzeitig müssen die beiden Cops Jimmy im Zaum halten, denn der setzt in seinem ohnmächtigen Zorn alles daran, den Mörder seiner Tochter selbst aufzuspüren. Weil eine Reihe von Umständen Dave mit dem Verbrechen in Verbindung bringen, muss er sich endlich mit seiner eigenen schrecklichen Kindheitserfahrung auseinandersetzen. Die unbewältigte Vergangenheit bedroht seine Ehe - er fragt sich, ob es überhaupt eine Zukunft für ihn gibt. Die Ermittlungen fördern immer neue unheilvolle Einzelheiten zu Tage, und langsam fügen sich die Teile des Puzzles zur Chronik des Unglücks zusammen: Sie erzählt von Freundschaft, Familienzusammenhalt und zu früh geopferter Unschuld.Darsteller:Kevin Bacon, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Chapman, Laura Linney, Laurence Fishburne, Marcia Gay Harden, Tom Guiry

    Seasons in Hell: With Billy Martin, Whitey Herzog and "The Worst Baseball Team in History"-The 1973-1975 Texas Rangers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min
    You think your team is bad? In this landmark work on one of the most tortured franchises in baseball, one reporter discovers that nine innings can feel like an eternity. In early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers were arguably the worst team in baseball history. Seasons in Hell is a riotous, candid, irreverent behind-the-scenes account in the tradition of The Bronx Zoo and Ball Four, following the Texas Rangers from Whitey Herzog's reign in 1973 through Billy Martin's tumultuous tenure. Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again) baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred culture of major league baseball in the mid-'70s. ungekürzt.

    Street Soldier: My Life as an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Boston Irish Mob , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 563min
    For decades the FBI let James ''Whitey'' Bulger get away with murder, allowing him continued control of his criminal enterprise in exchange for information. He went on the lam in 1995, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, 2011 followed top-ranked Osama bin Laden on the FBI'''s Ten Most Wanted List, and then was captured in Santa Monica, California weeks after Bin Laden's demise. Edward J. MacKenzie, Jr. was a drug dealer and enforcer who would do just about anything for Bulger. In this compelling eyewitness account, Eddie Mac delivers the goods on his one-time boss and on such former associates as Stephen ''The Rifleman'' Flemmi and turncoat FBI agent John Connolly. Street Soldier is also a story of the search for family, for acceptance, for respect, loyalty, and love. Abandoned by his parents at the age of four, Mackenzie became a ward of the state, suffered physical and sexual abuse, and eventually drifted into Bulger's orbit. The Eddie Mac who emerges in these pages is complex: An enforcer who was also a national kick-boxing champion; a womanizer who fought for custody of his daughters; a kid never given much of a chance who went on, as an adult, to earn a college degree in three years; a man who lived by a strict code of loyalty but also helped set up a sting operation that would net one of the largest hauls of cocaine ever seized. Street Soldier is as disturbing and fascinating as a crime scene, as heart-stopping as a bar fight, and at times as darkly comic as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction or Martin Scorsese's Good Fellas. Actor/Producer/Writer Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga Films, Nurse Jackie) announced within days of Bulger's arrest – that he has secured funding and a script for a movie adaptation of Street Soldier, which he optioned nine months earlier. ungekürzt.

    Growing up in Dorchester presented real challenges, but once Tom took over his father's auto repair shop in South Boston, life became intense. Mob-enforcers, drug dealers and killers became his friends and clients. Thomas Cirignano experienced Southie's era of extreme crime and violence, first hand. He managed to not just co-exist, but to thrive in that environment. At the shop, Whitey Bulger threatened Tom with a gun. A neighbor was gunned-down at the gas pumps. After confronting another would-be killer, that man later returned and shot Tom's friend eleven times. In a house down the street, Whitey was killing people and burying them in the cellar. A friendly drug dealer often tossed samples from his car window while driving past the pumps. Life was never dull, and Tom got himself into near-fatal situations far too often. How did Tom survive his gunpoint encounter with Whitey Bulger? Find the answer within an inspiring memoir that is tempered by amazing humor.

    Hard Time: The Life of an Incorrigible on Alcatraz , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min
    The true story of Charlie Hopkins #1186, one of the last surviving inmates of Alcatraz Penitentiary"My friend and fellow alumni Charlie Hopkins and I both graduated from America’s Top Crime School.... Charlie was a better student than I.... He’s still free!" (James “Whitey” Bulger, #1428 AZ)What if one could travel back in time and interview one of the hardened criminals that had served time at Alcatraz Penitentiary before it was permanently closed in 1963? What exactly would one ask a man who had rubbed shoulders with some of the most notorious gangsters, murderers, and thieves of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s? How would the conversation go when speaking to a close friend of "Creepy" Al Karpis, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud, and Whitey Bulger? Now, thanks to author Don DeNevi, for the first time one does not need a time machine to recapture the first-hand eyewitness accounts of one man's life on Alcatraz.Alcatraz inmate #1186 was Charles Edward Hopkins, and Mr. Hopkins was no ordinary inmate. Not only did he serve time with the Anglin brothers who made the only successful escape from Alcatraz, but he was well-acquainted with notorious crime boss "Bumpy" Johnson, the legendary Italian mafia boss Vito Genevese, and many other infamous Alcatraz inmates.Early in his prison career, Charlie was clinically pronounced "psychotic" and "incorrigible" and was sent to Alcatraz. After serving his time, Hopkins disappeared into history before re-emerging in recent years as the pen pal of notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger.Never before has Charlie's full story been captured and shared with the public. Now at 87 years old, Mr. Hopkins is estimated to be one of the last five or six remaining inmates that served hard time in Alcatraz before its closing in 1963. No matter what you have heard or think you know about Alcatraz, you may be certain of one thing, you have never heard a story like this./p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Lane.

    Fortune Cookies Always Lie: The Gumshoe Diaries, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min
    This brilliant new detective series introduces Los Angeles' latest gumshoe. For those who have been waiting for the next Phillip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Mike Hammer, or Jim Rockford, the wait is over! Author Nicholas Sheridan Stanton unveils the latest result of his chronically leaky cranium in a clever new detective series he's calling the Gumshoe Diaries. In the first audiobook, The Gumshoe Diaries: Fortune Cookies Always Lie, he introduces us to Whitey Roode, a shaggy but likeable former LAPD gold shield who turned private investigator after (as he tells it) being invited to retire by the brass. Stanton then takes us on a wheels-within-wheels scavenger hunt for the killer - or killers - of pretty Mei Li Teng (a.k.a Sally November), the not-so-innocent niece of Whitey's close friends and occasionally accurate snitches, Jai Lai and Lu Rong. The quirky Asian couple owns a trendy and ridiculously popular New York - style delicatessen downtown in the heart of Los Angeles called Show-M-U-Lyke-M. They hire Whitey to find out whodunit to little Miss Sally. As it turns out, the college education her uncles thought they were sponsoring is far more dangerous than the standard three Rs. ungekürzt.
