audiobook cover featuring three framed photographs

We are excited to announce the release of MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE: The True Story of Three Unsolved Murders in Prohibition Era San Diego by award-winning author and historian Richard L. Carrico.

Narrated by the talented Patrick Lawlor, this audiobook brings to life a dark chapter in the city's history.

In 1931, San Diego's tranquil beach town image masked a series of unsolved crimes, as detailed in "Monsters on the Loose," which recounts the mysterious murders of Virginia Brooks, Louise Teuber, and Hazel Bradshaw.

Despite extensive efforts by local law enforcement, criminologists, early FBI members, and widespread media coverage, the cases remained unsolved, casting a pall of fear over the city. Decades later, Richard L. Carrico emerges as an advocate for these victims, meticulously piecing together their stories from historical records and oral histories, possibly even solving one of these enigmatic crimes in his quest for justice.

Richard L. Carrico emerges as a relentless seeker of truth, meticulously weaving together fragments of historical records and forgotten oral histories. His commitment to these long-silent victims shines a new light on these cold cases, possibly even unlocking the mystery of one of these haunting murders.

Narrated with a depth that only a voice like Lawlor's can achieve, "Monsters on the Loose" is more than just an audiobook; it's a journey into the heart of San Diego's forgotten dark side. Carrico's dedication to unearthing the truth transforms this narrative from a historical recount to a vivid exploration of the city's most enigmatic mysteries.

For those who crave a deep dive into true crime and unsolved history, MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE is an essential listen.

Now available on all major audiobook platforms, this is your invitation to explore the shadowed streets of San Diego's past, where each chapter unravels a piece of the puzzle in the quest for justice. Don't miss this compelling narrative that promises to captivate, enlighten, and perhaps even solve a piece of history's mysteries.
