Ghislaine Maxwell didn't just commit crimes—she perfected the art of hiding them behind the most respectable facade imaginable. For thirty years, she moved seamlessly between Buckingham Palace and the White House, between environmental fundraisers and sex trafficking operations, between royal weddings and criminal conspiracies. The Maxwell Deception is the definitive account of the most sophisticated criminal deception in modern history—and how even the most masterful lies eventually collapse under the weight of truth.

Generally naive about their world, children are thought to be nearly incapable of serious wrongdoing and are rarely suspects in violent crimes. Yet, from the 1960s to the mid-90s, the U.S. saw several waves of juvenile murders that caused widespread public concern. The phenomenon created longstanding debates about the sources or causes of a child killer's mindset. Some blame external triggers like video games, rock music or pornography, while others argue the causes are deeper issues, such as an underdeveloped brain experiencing abuse and neglect.

During the peak of the Somali piracy crisis, three ships - from Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan - were hijacked and then abandoned to their fate by their employers, who lacked the money to pay ransoms.

Author Colin Freeman, who has himself spent time held hostage by Somali pirates, takes listeners on an inside track into the world of hostage negotiation and one man’s heroic rescue mission.

He was also a criminal willing to consider any type of crime, provided it supported his lifestyle and his ego. Squizzy graduated from teenage pickpocket to adult murderer, from organizing smash-and-grab raids on jewellers to corrupting juries and suborning witnesses.

Come può un predatore sessuale responsabile di centinaia di abusi nascondersi sotto gli occhi di tutti per quasi cinquant'anni, indossando la maschera del personaggio pubblico e del filantropo? L'incredibile storia di Jimmy Savile si snoda dal mondo dello spettacolo britannico fino alle soglie di Buckingham Palace, ed è la storia di un Dr. Jekyll che raccoglieva ogni anno milioni di sterline in beneficenza attraverso la sua attività di dj della BBC, trasformandosi in Mr. Hyde appena lo sguardo del pubblico si voltava dall'altra parte.

La strage di piazza Fontana a Milano inaugura nel nostro Paese un quindicennio di sanguinosi attentati che non hanno eguali in Europa, in cui una minoranza di persone di opposte parti politiche scelse la strada della violenza per imporsi sul resto della cittadinanza e influenzare la vita civile del Paese. In quell'epoca buia molte volte la grande Storia, intessuta con le trame segrete di uno Stato tragicamente complice, è precipitata addosso alle persone comuni, travolgendole senza scampo o lasciandole illese per pura fortuna.

To the average American, there was nothing out of the ordinary about Edmund Kemper before 1973. Standing at six-foot-nine, the young man was a giant, but he was gentle, soft spoken, and shy. He lived with his mother into his mid-20s and frequented local bars, cozying up to police officers. This was one reality of Kemper's life - the reality he wanted those around him to see. There was another side to the man though, a much darker side. Kemper's actions in his life shocked America, who dubbed him the Co-Ed Killer for his urge to murder and violate co-ed girls in Northern California.
