Fourth Down and Out
Summary
The job seems easy enough at first for private investigator Andy Hayes: save his client’s reputation by retrieving a laptop and erasing a troublesome video from its hard drive. But that’s before someone breaks into Andy’s apartment in Columbus; before someone else,?armed with a shotgun,?relieves him of the laptop; and before the FBI suddenly shows up on his doorstep asking questions. Soon, there’s a growing list of people with a claim on the computer, all of them with secrets they don’t want uncovered. When one of those people ends up dead, Andy has his hands full convincing authorities he’s not responsible, while trying to figure out who is?-?and who’s got the laptop?-?before someone else dies. Soon the trail leads to the last place Andy wants to go: back to Ohio State University, where few have forgiven him for a mistake he made two decades earlier in his days as the Buckeyes’ star quarterback. That misjudgment sent him on a downward spiral that cost him a playing career, two marriages, several wrecked relationships, and above all his legacy in Ohio’s capital city, where the fortunes of the OSU team are never far from people’s minds. As Andy tracks a laptop and a killer from the toniest of the city’s suburbs to its grittiest neighborhoods, he must confront a dark figure from his past and prove that this time he won’t drop the ball. The book is published by Ohio University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

Summary
Trick When I was on the inside I found my faith again. I only found my faith because it helped lessened my sentence and let's be real - no one wants to be in the slammer. My priest told me that an angel would come to me, that she would help guide me through many trials and tribulations. Imagine my surprise when a woman named Angel comes barreling into my life. She's not perfect, but neither am I. When our pasts come back to haunt us both, I know that there's only one way we're going to make it through - together.

My Crime Series - The First Offense: Five True Crime Stories from California Inmates
Summary
Audiobook one: "Spinner’s Story" From a cell in San Quentin, the San Francisco Bay area’s internationally known California state prison, comes to you the true biography of an incarcerated felon, Jay Jay. Raised in the Silicon Valley during an era when farms outnumbered industry, Jay Jay found trouble young, very young. Serving time at age 12 is not the beginning of Jay Jay’s descent into criminality. Take a crash course on the drug game with Jay Jay and you will find yourself hearing scenarios you never imagined possible. Audiobook two: "Holler at Your Girl" Cjay is a transgender woman of color housed in San Quentin. Cjay has been in nearly as many prisons as she has fingers, yet nothing in her upbringing predestined her for crime. Addiction does that to people, turns good to bad. Cjay loved and hated drugs. Drugs allowed her mind to rest, but her mind could not rest without drugs. Her mind, in fact, was spinning with pain, guilt, and rejection. Being transgender, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, was the life of a pariah. Fortunately for Cjay, she had her fellow trans-sisters. Audiobook three: "Hood to Heels" "Hood to Heels" is the unbelievable true story of Lawrence, a child raised in American ghetto circumstances who became the epitome of extreme violence while at the same time holding tight an inner secret of female identity. Prepare yourself to look behind the curtain. You will find out how crimes such as carjacking and crack dealing are perpetrated. You will stay up late with Lawrence as his mind swirls in the consideration of who he is. You will witness the racial divisions found in Los Angeles neighborhoods pitting Hispanic gangs against black American gangs. Finally, you will visit the prison psychologist with Lawrence, and with Lawrence transitioned to Lauren, you will confront former gang associates as they challenge her identity. Audiobook four: "Mouthpiece" "Mouthpiece" is a brutally told biographical sketch of an incarcerated pimp, in prison for human trafficking. Raw boasts and brazen inner-city tales litter the story’s violent, unrepentant landscape. Money is the aim, and young women are the product. Bullets fly, tears drop, and children watch. "Mouthpiece" communicates the pride and prejudices of a warrior pimp seizing plunder, camaraderie, and a demigod sense of self through violence, street credentials, and psychological manipulation. Audiobook five: "38 Years Later" Brian Shipp is a risk-taker. He skis black-diamond slopes, throttles fast-moving motorcycles, and cherishes the thrill of an occasional misdeed. He is a young man with a twinkle in his eye and a propensity for getting caught. Through hard work and charm, Brian races his way to the top only, time after time, to find himself crashing down due to ill-conceived schemes.
