Shots Fired: The Psychology Behind Officer-Involved Shootings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 148min
Anti-police media propaganda has created a perception of police shootings that is very different than reality. Most civilians have never been in a life or death fight, so they are left with Hollywood and media fiction to educate them about law enforcement altercations. The psychology behind officer involved shootings is missing from the public narrative. What occurs in the officer's head, before, during, and after the shooting is the story that is rarely told. In 12 exciting, real-life accounts, you will discover that police shootings are extremely complicated, and the consequences are far greater than most can ever imagine. This audiobook shares the story that officers do not get to tell, and it will prepare those who have not yet been forced to pull the trigger. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Ferrand.

A series of brutal murders, a mysterious scripture handed down through generations by an ancient race, and a cult leader hellbent on vengeance and redemption. DI Luke Raven's checkered career as a police officer is on the brink of ruin after a series of ill-judged decisions and one too many drunken altercations.

And how does whatever might be buried under the sea connect to the rich and famous who fund Chris Black’s research projects?

We all like to think of ourselves as clear-headed and logical - but all listeners will find in this book fallacies of which they themselves are guilty. The author shows you how to simultaneously strengthen your own thinking and identify the weaknesses in other people arguments. And, more mischievously, Pirie also shows how to be deliberately illogical - and get away with it. This audiobook will make you maddeningly smart. Your family, friends, and opponents will all wish that you had never listened to it.Publisher's warning: In the wrong hands, this audiobook is dangerous.

The Craigslist Incident (eBook, ePUB)
In The Craigslist Incident, Edna Barrett takes an advertisement out on Craigslist: I'm an 18-year-old female and I want to take a hit out on myself. Joe Dolsen, a 20-year-old who has suffered from periodic blackouts his whole life, answers the ad. What would bring two people to such ominous points at such young ages, and will they actually go through with it? Edna, raised by a single mother after the suicide of her father, repeatedly finds herself kicked out of schools for violent altercations that don't seem to be her fault. Finally, living a solitary life in rural Minnesota and taking classes online, she falls passionately in text-love with another outsider, Shane, whose obsession with Edna sends off alarm signals to her world-weary mother, especially when he drives hundreds of miles to show up unannounced at their home. Meanwhile, Joe is coming of age with an Evangelical mother who believes his probable epilepsy means he has been touched by God and uses her religiosity as justification for not seeking medical attention for her son and for remaining with his abusive father. As Joe and Edna reach adulthood struggling to make sense of their lives and losses, their dangerous tracks are set for collision.- Shop: buecher

Charcoal Tears: Seraph Black, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
You see, there is safety in simplicity...in a life of simple peace, where the electricity doesn't dance across the backs of my eyelids, and the sparks don't slither over my consciousness. Only asinine peace, where my paintings don't seem to paint themselves, leaving me with terrible feelings of premonition and a chill beneath my fingernails. Seraph Black used to think that she was prepared for anything. She could last days without eating and she always walked away from the violent altercations with her father relatively unharmed. She survived working at the club and the drive to school every day in her mother's rust-bucket of a car...but it all changed when Noah and Cabe came bulldozing into her life, careless of the precious secrets they picked apart in their quest to take over her world. She was even less prepared for the mysterious Miro and Silas, and nothing could have prepared her for the bond. The connection. The reason for it all. Someone wanted her to stay away from her new friends, but she wasn't willing to do that. Everyone had secrets. She wanted to know theirs. They wanted to own hers. And the stalker? He seemed to know everything already. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laurel Schroeder. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/082718/bk_acx0_082718_sample.mp3.
