Murder During the Chicago World's Fair: The Killing of Little Emma Werner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
From R. Barri Flowers, award-winning criminologist and best-selling author of Murder at the Pencil Factory and Murder of the Banker's Daughter, comes the powerful historical true crime short, Murder During the Chicago World's Fair: The Killing of Little Emma Werner. On Tuesday, May 9, 1893, seven-year-old Emma Werner was the victim of a brutal and lethal attack in Chicago, Illinois. The dreadful murder came at the start of the city's much ballyhooed 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. It coincided with the heinous crimes of ruthless serial killer Herman Webster Mudgett, who went by the name H.H. Holmes and built a hotel called the World's Fair Hotel to house and profit from the Fair visitors needing a place to stay. The hotel proved to be a veritable death trap for unsuspecting, mostly female, guests and employees alike. Emma's killer was 21-year-old George Craig, who worked as a painter at the World's Fair. By the time the Fair was over, the mayor of Chicago, Carter Harrison, would be assassinated by Patrick Eugene Prendergast, a disgruntled newspaper worker. And before the shocking final disposition to the murder of Emma Werner could come to pass nearly four years later, Craig and Prendergast would cross paths in jail, Holmes and Prendergast would be executed, and Craig would be set free in what many saw as an unbelievable miscarriage of justice and misguided sense of compassion for the cold-blooded child killer. The tragic tale of Emma Werner's short life and its chilling convergence with other tragedies against the backdrop of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair is revealed in the pages of this historical and fascinating trip down memory lane. ungekürzt.

Six more classic mysteries solved by Sherlock Holmes. The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle: A precious stone with a history of murders and violence behind it is discovered in the crop of a Christmas goose after being reported stolen yet again, from its owner's jewel case, and the guilt is placed upon a plumber who protests his innocence. The Adventure of the Speckled Band: Sherlock Holmes investigates when a young woman's twin sister is mysteriously murdered in her locked bedroom, leaving in her dying words the only clue with which to begin: "band" and "speckled". The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb: Hydraulic engineer Victor Hatherley arrives at 221-B in a state of hysteria, his thumb grossly amputated from his left hand. The Baker Street duo's foray into the case leads to characters and machinations even stranger and more threatening than the case's grotesque genesis.

The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet: A banker accepts a priceless British artifact as collateral for a loan and it is promptly stolen from his home's safe. Circumstances point to the banker's son, who bitterly denies taking it. Holmes allows his investigation to follow the trail of evidence, come what may. The Adventure of the Copper Beeches: When a young governess, unemployed and desperate for a position, accepts a job with a couple living in a remote country home, her positive first impressions of the man and his family begin to change. With a mixture of fear and uncertainty, she asks Sherlock Holmes to investigate the increasingly disturbing events that have begun to unfold around her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Missing or Murdered: The Disappearance of Agnes Tufverson (A True Crime Short) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 54min
From award-winning criminologist R. Barri Flowers and the best-selling author of Murder of the Banker's Daughter, Murder at the Pencil Factory, and The Sex Slave Murders, comes an gripping new historical true crime story: Missing or Murdered: The Disappearance of Agnes Tufverson. On Monday, December 4, 1933, attractive New York attorney Agnes Colonia Tufverson, 43, and Ivan Poderjay, a captain in the Yugoslav army, 10 years her junior, got married at the Little Church Around the Corner in New York City. What promised to be a storybook romance for Agnes, with a bright future of travel and adventure, turned out to be anything but for the newlywed. Two weeks after the couple tied the knot and had booked passage on the S.S. Hamburg ocean liner, for what was supposed to be a European honeymoon, Agnes Tufverson mysteriously vanished under suspicious circumstances. She was never to be seen or heard from again. The chief suspect in her disappearance was her new husband, Ivan Poderjay, who not only turned out to be already married, but had other dark secrets and ulterior motives while courting the single and lonely attorney. But did he kill her? Dump her at sea? Or had Tufverson simply decided to drop out of the life she knew and never look back? The authorities in several countries wondered the very same thing. Listen to the spellbinding historical and international true story and decide for yourself. Included are bonus excerpts from other best-selling true crime tales by the author, including Murder at the Pencil Factory, The Sex Slave Murders, and The Amityville Massacre.

Murder of the Doctor's Wife: The 1867 Crimes of Bridget Durgan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
From R. Barri Flowers, award-winning criminologist and best-selling author of Murder During the Chicago World's Fair, Murder at the Pencil Factory, and Murder of the Banker's Daughter, comes the riveting historical true crime short, Murder of the Doctor's Wife: The 1867 Crimes of Bridget Durgan. On the evening of Monday, February 25, 1867, Mary Ellen Coriell was brutally murdered at her home in Newmarket, New Jersey. The cold-blooded nature of the murder was shocking enough for residents of the town and elsewhere, but even more disturbing was that the culprit turned out to be the victim's housemaid, an attractive young Irishwoman named Bridget Durgan. The circumstances surrounding the murder - including jealousy, obsession, and delusion - were as old as time itself. The crime would come at a very steep price for the murderess who would be executed for the heinous act. The death of Mary Ellen Coriell also weighed heavily on the object of Bridget's affections, the heartbroken victim's husband, Dr. William Coriell, who would be left to care for the couple's young daughter alone. The unspeakable tragedy would also be felt throughout the community for many years to come. The sad tale of Mary Ellen Coriell's untimely demise at the hands of someone she trusted and was ultimately betrayed by is a must for students of history, true crime, and homicide. A complete bonus story, Murder of the French Lover, chronicles the May 21, 1892, scandalous murder of Madame Lassimonne in Paris, France, by romantic rival, Claire Reymond, and its stunning outcome. Other bonus material include excerpts from R. Barri Flowers' best-selling true crime shorts, Murder During the Chicago World's Fair, Dead at the Saddleworth Moor, Missing or Murdered, and an excerpt from the author's true crime book, Serial Killers and Prostitutes. ungekürzt.

Sharkproof: Get the Job You Want, Keep the Job You Love...in Today's Frenzied Job Market, Hörbuch, Digital, 95min
We may not be in a recession, but there is nowhere you can hide that's guaranteed earthquake-proof against your own personal recession. The day can come when you step into your boss' or banker's office some Friday afternoon and hear, "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but...." It's not going to be easy, no matter how well prepared you are. But it's going to be a lot harder if you're like the 90 percent of us who aren't prepared when the bomb falls. And it can happen to anyone, anytime. There used to be a little piece of folk wisdom: "The good people are all working". It's not true anymore. There have been just too many layoffs of too many good people in recent years. There's no longer any stigma attached to being laid off. It's a fact of business life today. Age is not the disadvantage it once was to employment. The era of the linear career...school, work, retire at 65, die at 68...is over. As corporations rush to shed their high-salaried employees, you're probably going to be out of work much sooner than 65. Yet paradoxically, past 65, you're also much more likely to find work in some form for as long as you want it. Changing values and expectations can erase the pain. In other societies, professions like the clergy, teaching, and social work are valued far more highly than in America. Yet, for a lot of us living in the most materialistic society on earth, success in material terms hasn't produced personal satisfaction. Who says you have to live by any values other than your own? If the personal freedom America affords has taught us anything, it's that you have only yourself to answer to for doing what you believe in and picking the life you choose. Language: English.
