About this listen
Reedición por su décimo aniversario. Incluye nuevos casos.
Los temibles asesinos en serie retratados en este audiolibro tienen varias características en común. Todos tienen personalidades rebeldes y estrambóticas, y fueron hombres formados en las entrañas de la infinita violencia colombiana: hijos despreciados, maltratados y ultrajados. En este increíble mosaico de monstruos de la vida real, el lector podrá abordar una construcción periodística de mentes diabólicas que, durante años, derramaron por terrenos baldíos, pueblos y ciudades colombianas y de países vecinos la sangre de centenares de víctimas inocentes, la mayoría compuesta por inofensivos niños, niñas y adolescentes, algunos de ellos aún desaparecidos.
Diez años después de la primera edición de este libro, Esteban Cruz nos demuestra que la maldad sigue vigente en nuestro país, revelándonos dos nuevos casos: el de Freddy Valencia, "el Monstruo de Monserrate", y el de Johany Alexander Acuña Hernández, "el Loco de la Piedra".
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
“Este libro de historia, aunque vaya ilustrado con caricaturas, no va en chiste: va en serio”, así empieza este fascinante libro, un agudo recorrido por la historia del país, desde los días del Descubrimiento y la Conquista, pasando por los años de la Independencia, la Regeneración, la Hegemonía Conservadora, la República Liberal, el Frente Nacional, la época de la Violencia, hasta llegar a nuestros días. Antonio Caballero no sólo tiene el país en la cabeza, también tiene allí su historia entera, y gracias a esto hace que el relato de los hechos que nos han marcado –hechos tan enmarañados, tan insólitos, tan atribulados– sea un interesante y fluido recorrido por todos aquellos acontecimientos y personajes que han moldeado el camino hasta traernos al escenario actual.
Con su mirada crítica y su característico humor, Caballero nos pone de cara a los hechos para poder reconocer nuestras manías, nuestros vicios y nuestras repetidas fallas como sociedad. Y también las irrefrenables y perpetuas ansias de poder de quienes han dirigido el destino del país.

Story
Cuando conoció a Pablo Escobar, con solo trece años, Victoria Eugenia Henao ignoraba que su vida estaba a punto de convertirse en una pesadilla terrible, y que jamás dejarían de señalarla con el dedo por ser la mujer con la que se casó y tuvo dos hijos el mayor narcotraficante de todos los tiempos.
Para este libro, y durante dos años, la viuda de Escobar se ha sumergido en su memoria y ha recordado cada uno de los horribles episodios que vivió con quien, a partir de 1982, asoló a Colombia con una estrategia de terror en la que cabían asesinatos de políticos, periodistas y defensores de derechos humanos, mientras seguía inundando el mundo de cocaína.
Nunca hasta ahora un testigo tan cercano de la vida de Escobar había examinado sus actuaciones en diversos frentes. ¿Cómo fue la guerra que lo enfrentó al cartel de Cali y al Estado colombiano? ¿Hasta qué punto se relacionó con los paramilitares? ¿Cómo vivió ella las continuas infidelidades de su marido? ¿De qué forma convirtió el arte en su vía de escape? ¿Cómo fueron los últimos años de Escobar, desde estuvo encerrado en La Catedral hasta su asesinato? Y sobre todo: ¿qué fue de su familia tras la muerte del narco?

Story
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.

Story
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.

Story
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.

Historias fascinantes desde el lado oscuro
El autor hace un recuento pormenorizado de los asesinos seriales en Colombia. Contrario a lo que muchos piensan, los asesinos seriales colombianos son los peores del mundo, con un número de víctimas muy superior al de sus pares norteamericanos.
