Publisher's summary
But the thing about conspiracy theories is, sometimes they turn out to be true.
On a more serious—and current—note, conspiracy theories are at a fever pitch about what’s happening with Duchess Meghan, Prince Harry and their troubles with the British royal family—and how it all connects to what happened in the 1980s and '90s with Princess Diana.
(Please note before buying: This is not a book for diehard monarchists. This book pulls no punches in relation to the institution of the British royal family).
Princess Diana was the People’s Princess, a beloved figure of empathy, service, beauty and glamour. She died tragically too young in a horrific car crash in Paris in 1997. To this day, conspiracy theories about what led up to her death from inside the British royal family and how the crash happened are still running rampant.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has also chosen a life of service and giving back. She, too, has spoken of upsetting and dangerous things that have happened to her while working inside the British monarchy—a fire in her son Archie’s nursery, an injured dog, and courtiers allegedly holding American citizen Meghan’s passport where she couldn’t easily access it, to name a few examples.
Conspiracy theories abound about what’s happening now with Meghan, Prince Harry and their family connects to what happened then with Princess Di.
Which theories hold water? Which ones are so ridiculous as to be laughable? Regardless of which conspiracies have the most buzz or credibility, we’ve seen that some of them will never die. And the monarchy continues its reign unimpinged, living in part off of British taxpayers. Will anything stop them?

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

Joan Crawford's remarkable forty-five-year motion picture career is one of the industry's longest. Signing her first contract in 1925, she was crowned an MGM star four years later and by the mid-1930s was the most popular actress in America. In the early 1940s, Crawford's risky decision to move to Warner Bros. was rewarded with an Oscar for Mildred Pierce. This triumph launched a series of film noir classics. She teamed with rival Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, proving that Crawford, whose career had begun by defining big-screen glamor, had matured into a dramatic actress.
