    Between Good and Evil: A Master Profiler's Hunt for Society's Most Violent Predators, Hörbuch, Digital, 370min
    No one gets closer to evil than a criminal profiler, trained to penetrate the hearts and minds of society's most vicious psychopaths. And no one is a more towering figure in the world of criminal profilers than Roger L. Depue. Chief of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit at a time when its innovative work first came to prominence, he headed a renowned team of mind hunters that included John Douglas, Robert Ressler, and Roy Hazelwood. In a subbasement 60 feet under the Academy gun vault in Quantico, he broke new ground with analytical techniques and training programs that are still used today. After retiring from the FBI, he founded an elite forensics group that consulted on high-profile cases, including the Martha Moxley and JonBenet Ramsey murders, and the Columbine school shootings. But coming face-to-face with the darkest deeds human beings are capable of took a horrific toll. After suffering a devastating personal loss, Depue, on the brink of despair, walked away from the outside world and joined a seminary. For three years this was his safe haven, a place where he exorcised personal demons and found a refuge from terrifying memories of real-life monsters. And it was there, while counseling maximum security inmates, that he rediscovered the capacity for goodness in people, and made the decision to return to the world to resume his work. Here is Depue's extraordinary personal account, from growing up as a police officer's son to tracking down some of today's most brutal murderers. With its harrowing descriptions of human depravity and passionate call to fight against evil, Between Good and Evil is both a riveting dispatch from the front lines of a war against human predators...and the powerful story of one man's journey between darkness and redemption.

    Mackenzie White Mystery Bundle: Before He Kills (Book 1) and Before He Sees (Book 2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 732min
    From Blake Pierce, best-selling author of Once Gone (a number-one best seller with over 600 five-star reviews), comes a heart-pounding new mystery series. A bundle of books: Book one (Before He Kills) and book two (Before He Sees) in Blake Pierce’s Mackenzie White mystery series! This bundle offers books one and two in one convenient file. In Before He Kills, in the cornfields of Nebraska, a woman is found murdered, strung up on a pole, the victim of a deranged killer. It doesn’t take long for the police to realize a serial killer is on the loose - and that his spree has just begun. Detective Mackenzie White, young, tough, smarter than the aging, chauvinistic men on her local force, finds herself called in grudgingly to help solve it. As much as the other officers hate to admit it, they need her young, brilliant mind, which has already helped crack cold cases that had left them stumped. Yet even for Mackenzie this new case proves an impossible riddle, something the likes of which she - and the local force - have never seen. In Before He Sees, FBI agent-in-training Mackenzie White struggles to make her mark in the FBI Academy in Quantico, trying to prove herself as a woman and as a transplant from Nebraska. Hoping she has what it takes to become an FBI agent and leave her life in the Midwest behind for good, Mackenzie just wants to keep a low profile and impress her superiors. But all that changes when the body of a woman is found in a garbage dump. The murder bears shocking similarities to the Scarecrow Killer - the case that made Mackenzie famous in Nebraska - and in the frantic race against time to stop a new serial killer, the FBI decides to break protocol and give Mackenzie a chance on the case. ungekürzt.

    The Threat Matrix: Inside Robert Mueller's FBI and the War on Global Terror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1720min
    An intimate look at Robert Mueller, the sixth director of the FBI, who has just been named special counsel to oversee the investigation into ties between President Trump's campaign and Russian officials. Covering more than 30 years of history, from the 1980s through Obama's presidency, The Threat Matrix explores the transformation of the FBI from a domestic law enforcement agency, handling bank robberies and local crimes, into an international intelligence agency - with more than 500 agents operating in more than 60 countries overseas - fighting extremist terrorism, cyber crimes, and, for the first time, American suicide bombers. Based on access to never-before-seen task forces and FBI bases from Budapest, Hungary, to Quantico, Virginia, this book profiles the visionary agents who risked their lives to bring down criminals and terrorists both here in the United States and thousands of miles away long before the rest of the country was paying attention to terrorism. Given unprecedented access, thousands of pages of once secret documents, and hundreds of interviews, Garrett M. Graff takes us inside the FBI and its attempt to protect America from the Munich Olympics in 1972 to the attempted Times Square bombing in 2010. It also tells the inside story of the FBI's behind-the-scenes fights with the CIA, the Department of Justice, and five White Houses over how to combat terrorism, balance civil liberties, and preserve security. The book also offers a never-before-seen intimate look at FBI director Robert Mueller, the most important director since Hoover himself. Brilliantly reported and suspensefully told, The Threat Matrix peers into the darkest corners of this secret war and will change your view of the FBI forever. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Woren.

    Bevor Er Sieht (Ein Mackenzie White Krimi-Buch 2) (eBook, ePUB)
    Von Blake Pierce, der Bestsellerautorin von VERSCHWUNDEN (einem #1 Bestseller mit mehr als 600 Fünf-Sterne-Bewertungen), erscheint nun Buch #2 einer spannenden neuen Krimireihe. In BEVOR ER SIEHT (ein Mackenzie White Krimi-Buch 2), kämpft die in der Ausbildung zu FBI Agentin steckende Mackenzie White darum, sich in der FBI Academy in Quantico einen Namen zu machen und sich gleichzeitig sowohl als Frau als auch als Neuankömmling aus Nebraska zu beweisen. In der Hoffnung, dass sie das Zeug dazu hat, eine FBI Agentin zu werden, und ihr Leben im Mittleren Wesen für immer hinter sich zu lassen, will Mackenzie sich zurückhalten und ihre Vorgesetzten beeindrucken. Aber alles ändert sich, als die Leiche einer Frau in einer Mülltonne gefunden wird. Der Mord hat große Ähnlichkeit mit dem Fall des Vogelscheuchen-Mörders, durch den Mackenzie in Nebraska berühmt wurde. Im hektischen Kampf gegen die Zeit, um einen neuen Serienkiller zu stoppen, beschließt das FBI, sein Protokoll zu brechen und Mackenzie den Fall zu übertragen. Für Mackenzie ist es ihre Chance, das FBI zu beeindrucken, doch die Erwartungen waren noch nie so hoch. Nicht jeder will, dass sie den Fall leitet, und alles, was sie in Angriff nimmt, scheint schief zu gehen. Als der Druck am höchsten ist und der Mörder wieder zuschlägt, findet sich Mackenzie alleine in einem Heer erfahrener Agenten, und schon bald erkennt sie, dass sie bereits viel zu tief in der ganzen Sache verwickelt ist. Ihre gesamte Zukunft beim FBI steht auf dem Spiel. So hart und entschlossen Mackenzie auch ist, so brillant sie Mörder auch jagen kann, dieser neuer Fall entpuppt sich als unlösbares Rätsel, etwas, dem sie nicht gewachsen ist. Womöglich hat sie nicht einmal genug Zeit, es zu entschlüsseln, da ihr eigenes Leben über ihrem Kopf zusammenbricht.

    One Bullet Away (eBook, ePUB)
    The New York Times bestseller that "provides a close-up and often harrowing look at Fick's service both in Iraq and Afghanistan" (U.S. News & World Report). If the Marines are "the few, the proud," Recon Marines are the fewest and the proudest. Nathaniel Fick's career begins with a hellish summer at Quantico, after his junior year at Dartmouth. He leads a platoon in Afghanistan just after 9/11 and advances to the pinnacle-Recon- two years later, on the eve of war with Iraq. His vast skill set puts him in front of the front lines, leading twenty-two Marines into the deadliest conflict since Vietnam. He vows to bring all his men home safely, and to do so he'll need more than his top-flight education. Fick unveils the process that makes Marine officers such legendary leaders and shares his hard-won insights into the differences between military ideals and military practice, which can mock those ideals. In this deeply thoughtful account of what it's like to fight on today's front lines, Fick reveals the crushing pressure on young leaders in combat. Split-second decisions might have national consequences or horrible immediate repercussions, but hesitation isn't an option. One Bullet Away never shrinks from blunt truths, but ultimately it is an inspiring account of mastering the art of war. "Fick's writing style sets this book apart from other accounts of recent conflicts and guarantees One Bullet Away a place in the war memorial hall of fame."-USA Today "What One Bullet Away accomplishes, in a way all the blather on cable TV never will, is to give readers real insights into the modern war and its warriors."-Rocky Mountain News

    Navy CIS - Season 6 - Box 1
    Das hoch qualifizierte, eingeschworene Team des NCIS ist immer noch unter dem fähigen, kompromisslosen Kommando von Special-Agent Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), der alles daran setzt, dass die Gerechtigkeit ihren Lauf nimmt - auch wenn das manchmal bedeutet, ein Auge zuzudrücken. In dieser Season begrüßt Gibbs neue Mitglieder im Team, während er die altgedienten Agenten zu ihren gefährlichen Ermittlungen außerhalb der militärischen Kommandostruktur schickt.Disc 1 Aus den Augen ... Während er den geheimnisvollen Tod eines Petty-Officers der Navy untersucht, entdeckt Gibbs eine beunruhigende Verbindung zwischen dem Fall, den er gerade untersucht und der Entscheidung von Director Vance, sein Team aufzulösen. Agent zur See DiNozzo, mittlerweile an Bord der USS Seahawk stationiert, deckt auf, dass der scheinbare Selbstmord eines Navy-Leutnants an Bord des Flugzeugträgers mit einer größeren, wesentlich tödlicheren Verschwörung zusammenhängt. Ein ehrenwerter Mann Das NCIS-Team wird in Washington in einen Skandal auf höchster Ebene verwickelt, nachdem sich ein angesehener US-Senator an Gibbs wendet und ihn um Hilfe bei der Aufklärung am Mord eines weiblichen Offiziers bittet, mit dem der Senator eine Affäre hatte. Vater und Sohn Die Untersuchungen in einem Fall, in dem zwei junge Marines brutal ermordet wurden, führen Gibbs in seinen Heimatort nach Pennsylvania, wo Geheimnisse aus seiner Vergangenheit ans Licht zu kommen drohen. Disc 2 Der falsche Zeuge Auf der Jagd nach dem brutalen Mörder eines Marines befindet sich Gibbs auf Kollisionskurs mit FBI-Agent Fornell, denn der Mann, den Gibbs der Tat verdächtigt, steht unter Zeugenschutz. Der Traum vom Ruhm Nachdem ein Petty-Officer der Navy ermordet aufgefunden wurde, bringt Duckys Autopsie ans Licht, dass ein geistesgestörter Psychopath das NCIS-Team an der Nase herumzuführen versucht, indem er im Internet Spuren über die Identität seiner nächsten Opfer hinterlässt. Kollateralschaden Vance beauftragt einen Neuling im NCIS-Team, den Mord an einem Sicherheitsbeamten einer Bank in Quantico zu untersuchen - das bringt Gibbs dazu, sein Urteilsvermögen zu hinterfragen. Verraten Ein Mitglied des NCIS wird mit ernsthaften Konsequenzen konfrontiert, nachdem Director Vance Gibbs und sein Team zwingt, an einem gefährlichen Kriegsspiel teilzunehmen - ein schockierendes Geheimnis wird enthüllt. Disc 3 Domino Gibbs und das Team versuchen, einen Dieb aufzuhalten, der heikle, streng geheime Daten der Regierung stehlen will und müssen sich dabei auf Informationen fragwürdiger Herkunft verlassen. Fight Club Das Team vermutet hinter dem Tod eines Petty-Officers einen Mordfall, denn was zunächst mit der Untersuchung eines Autounfalls begann, führt schnell in den Untergrund - in die dunkle und brutale Welt der illegalen Straßenkämpfe. Stille Nacht Als sie über Weihnachten in einem Doppelmord ermitteln, deckt das Team die Wahrheit über einen Hauptverdächtigen auf, von dem bisher angenommen wurde, dass er vor 17 Jahren ums Leben kam - und es kommt zu einer schockierenden persönlichen Enthüllung. Hinter Gittern Während McGee ein unterschriebenes Geständnis von einem verschlagenen Sträfling abholen will, eskaliert der Mord an einem Wärter zum kompletten Aufstand im Gefängnis - und McGee wird von den Gefangenen als Geisel gehalten.
