Norco '80 tells the story of how five heavily armed young men - led by an apocalyptic born-again Christian - attempted a bank robbery that turned into one of the most violent criminal events in US history, forever changing the face of American law enforcement. Part action thriller and part courtroom drama, Norco '80 transports the listener back to the Southern California of the 1970s, an era of predatory evangelical gurus, doomsday predictions, megachurches, and soaring crime rates, with the threat of nuclear obliteration looming over it all.

As a young man, Randall Woodfield had it all; he was a star athlete with good looks and an award-winning student. Working in the swinging West Coast bar scene, he had more than his share of women. But he wanted more than just sex. An appetite for unspeakable violent acts led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California to Washington, leaving a trail of victims along the way. As the list of the dead grew, the police mobilized to stop a twisted killer who had 44 known deaths to his name.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Understand history's most enigmatic serial killer. In December of 1968, a serial killer began orchestrating a campaign of terror in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not satisfied with the simple act of murder, he taunted law enforcement and the public by writing letters to local newspapers. Through often cryptic and bizarre content - including four ciphers, three of which have never been solved - the psychopath played a twisted game. Reporters dubbed the man the "Cipher Killer", but the murderer chose a different name for himself: The Zodiac. Eventually, he would claim to have murdered 37.

The day before Easter, the couple slept. Bunnies, eggs, a flower centerpiece gracing the table. Death rang their doorbell and filled the air with the rat-a-tat-tat of an assault weapon discharging round after round into their bodies. Eric Williams and his wife, Kim, celebrated the murders with grilled steaks. Williams planned to exact revenge on all those who had wronged him.

Publisher's summary
Heart Shots: The Shocking True Story of a Dark Day in the Michigan and Indiana State Police is an action-packed true crime thriller.
Five shoot-outs, each more bizarre than the previous, sprinkled with suspenseful interludes, make for a compelling book. The story unfolds in 1957 when a WWII veteran, convicted sexual predator, and parole absconder, picks up a hitchhiker in Maine, who is a drifter with no criminal record. Matched, they embark on an undetected nationwide crime spree until an intuitive Michigan trooper begins to unmask their criminality.
Shot three times and left for dead, this trooper is the first of nine heroes to emerge in the following 10 hours. The character of these protagonists (one a young civilian mother) is developed so the listener feels a kinship to each, shadowing them to where their turn comes to stand in harm’s way. Heart Shots is more than its headline: “Ten hours, nine heroes, five heart shots, three abductions, two widows, and one fatherless son.”

Norco '80 tells the story of how five heavily armed young men - led by an apocalyptic born-again Christian - attempted a bank robbery that turned into one of the most violent criminal events in US history, forever changing the face of American law enforcement. Part action thriller and part courtroom drama, Norco '80 transports the listener back to the Southern California of the 1970s, an era of predatory evangelical gurus, doomsday predictions, megachurches, and soaring crime rates, with the threat of nuclear obliteration looming over it all.

For 13 violent months in the 1930s, John Dillinger and his gang swept through the Midwest. The criminals of the Depression robbed almost at will, as the Indiana State Police had only 41 members, including clerks and typists. Dillinger's daring escapes at Crown Point jail or through the withering machine gun fire of FBI agents at Little Bohemia Lodge, along with his countless bank robberies, excited the imagination of a despondent country.

The lead witness, Abe Reles, had been a trusted executioner for Murder, Inc., the enforcement arm of a coast-to-coast mob network known as the Syndicate. But the man responsible for coolly silencing hundreds of informants was about to become the most talkative snitch of all.

The New England Mafia was a hugely powerful organization that survived by using violence to ruthlessly crush anyone that threatened it, or its lucrative gambling, loansharking, bootlegging, and other enterprises. From information based on newly declassified documents and the use of underworld sources, Boston Mob spans the gutters and alleyways of East Boston, Providence, and Charlestown to the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C., and Boston's Beacon Hill. Its players include governors and mayors, and the Mafia Commission of New York City.

On August 14, 1975, eight daring thieves ransacked 148 massive safe-deposit boxes at a secret bank used by organized crime, La Cosa Nostra, and its associates in Providence, Rhode Island. The crooks fled with duffel bags crammed full of cash, gold, silver, stamps, coins, jewels, and high-end jewelry. The true value of the loot has always been kept secret, partly because it was ill-gotten to begin with, and partly because there was plenty of incentive to keep its true worth out of the limelight.

With dramatic flair, Jeff Guinn delivers the definitive portrait of Bonnie and Clyde. These media-savvy outlaws appealed to America's Depression-era hunger for swashbuckling characters. Glowing radio and newspaper reports transformed these "public enemies" into celebrities - much like the cinema gangsters of the time.

During the Depression, economic anxieties found an outlet in a series of child murders that triggered an irrational nationwide hysteria: pedophiliac psychopaths were overrunning the country. As America was brought to rage and fury by the press and the FBI, lynch mobs took to the streets, reason gave way to doomsday scenarios, and one father was even driven to murder his three daughters to “save them” from a degenerate crime wave. A terrifying cautionary essay, Panic explores the combustible mix of unfounded fears, moral crusades, and the dangers of collective thinking.

Fascinating storytelling of a sad event
Clif Edward chronicles the crime spree of two lawbreakers that were responsible for ending the lives of two state troopers and causing a wild ten hour chase that started in Michigan, and finally ended in Indiana. One of the villains served time for raping a nine year old child, before recruiting a true partner in crime, committing an astonishing twenty one robberies in fourteen states. Things turned bloody in Michigan, where they murdered a state trooper, and wounded another.
Edwards provides fascinating storytelling, taking the listener back in time to 1957, and to the sites of each of the crimes committed along the way, until one of the fugitives was killed, and other was finally captured. Edwards details the trial of Victor Whitley, who received two life sentences, avoiding the death penalty, and unimaginably, would later be paroled after serving more than twenty years behold bars. Lincoln Gillett also provides riveting narration.

Loved it!
As an Ann Arbor local and true crime indulger, I was instantly drawn into this story. It’s one I hadn’t hear of before which made it even more interesting to dive into to. I must say, I was NOT disappointed! The story was great and the narrator, Lincoln, kept me fully engaged. He had me completely engulfed in the story from start to finish. I’m new to audible and looking forward to hearing more of his narrations!
