True crime

Life for South African detective William Granger starts with death. His hobbies are archaeology and mythology. The disappearance of Sophia Brooks leads him to Mpumalanga (the Place Where the Sun Rises). He finds skeletal remains in a dilapidated farmhouse. The cellar collapses leaving William crippled and claustrophobic. The case seems dead. Then Bullion Mining unearths a mass grave in Mpumalanga's mystical Makhonjwa Mountains (the Mountains that Show the Way) and William is ordered to investigate. The skeletons are in a man-made cavern containing ancient symbols that will create chaos with present day cultural and religious beliefs. William draws archaeologist Alexandra Pendleton into a world where the truth seems misleading. Bullion Mining will stop at nothing to get their operations back on track. The members of the Barberton Heritage Committee, who control the area, are also not averse to advancing their personal ambitions. Reverend Coombs foresees a threat to his religion and way of life. And William? Does he have his own agenda? Are the symbols in the cavern forged? As the archaeological secrets are revealed the danger heightens. Betrayal and deceit becomes the order of the day.

Real heroes don't just fight with weapons-they fight with knowledge. At the end of the Vietnam War, Americans had left thousands of refugees to fend off evil for themselves. When trying to escape on small boats many were taken by pirates. Some were raped. Others tortured. Too many were senselessly murdered. Ted Schweitzer stood alone and fought back against the injustice. He rescued thousands of women and children from bondage. And then he too, like the people he rescued, was forgotten into obscurity.From fighting pirates to helping recover POWs, this book uncovers a story that should have never been left untold.This book uncovers a story that should have never been left untold.

The Case of Harold Shipman, Serial Killer DoctorThis book, the first of a trilogy, takes the reader into the essentially private world of doctors, each from different backgrounds but all with one common thread running through their lives - they were all English general medical practitioners and they were all put on trial for murder.This first work is concerned with the case of Dr Harold Shipman, one of the most prolific serial killers in British legal history, and it seeks to answer the most important question of all.Why a well-respected, popular family GP, and prominent member of his local community, was at the same time killing over 215 of his trusting and mainly elderly patients in what have been described as 'near perfect crimes'. His early life and medical career are examined to identify a possible 'trigger' to explain his killing obsession, culminating in his eventual arrest and trial. It also considers the numerous failings of those systems which were designed to safeguard patients, yet failed so miserably. It considers the findings of the definitive Shipman Inquiry, which was divided into two distinct parts. The first part examined the individual deaths of Shipman's patients, whilst the second part examined the systems in place that failed to identify his crimes. The Inquiry Team also carried out a separate investigation into all the deaths certified by Shipman during his time as a junior doctor at Pontefract General Infirmary, West Yorkshire.The Inquiry published a total of six reports. The first concluded that Shipman killed at least 215 patients, the second report found that his last three victims could have been saved if the police investigation had been carried out more efficiently. The third report found that by issuing death certificates stating 'natural causes'.Shipman was able to evade investigation into deaths by the Coroner. The fourth report called for more stringent controls on the use and issuing of 'controlled' drugs. The fifth report on the regulation and monitoring of GPs, criticised the General Medical Council (the GMC) and recommended an overhaul of its constitution to ensure it was more focused on protecting patients rather than doctors. The sixth and final report, published in 2005, concluded that Shipman had killed in the region of 250 patients.This work concludes with an assessment of those psychological traits which may provide a final clue to that elusive question: Why?This title is the first in a series of three books on killer doctors.

With a nickname as hardcore as George "Machine Gun" Kelly's, it should come as no surprise that such terms are frequently associated with him. 86 years may have come and gone since his death, but this Depression-era mobster's name and legacy are still as relevant as ever. Not only has this legendary nickname been adopted by a popular rapper, he remains the subject of various articles, books, songs, films, and other pop culture mediums.

On November 13, 1974, police received a report of a homicide at 112 Ocean Avenue in the Village of Amityville, New York, a sleepy seaside community located on Long Island's South Shore. Once there, the police discovered six members of the DeFeo family -- father, mother and four of their five children -- shot and killed execution style. The surviving son, Ronald "Butch" DeFeo Jr., was eventually charged and tried for the murder of his family and now is serving six concurrent life sentences. Some said a strong supernatural force in the DeFeo home drove Butch DeFeo to kill his family, while others claimed Butch DeFeo killed to receive an inheritance. The Night the DeFeos Died offers the true story behind this tragedy and exposes Butch DeFeo did not act alone in the commission of this crime. It also shows that the supernatural stories created about the famed Amityville house were nothing, but a ruse concocted for Butch DeFeo's defense that later grew into a cottage industry. The whole truth regarding the story has never been revealed, until the publication of Ric Osuna's book. From mob involvement to a corrupt judicial system, The Night the DeFeos Died reveals the full details of the DeFeo murders, including how they were a culmination of substance abuse and domestic violence.

LA has known its share of notorious murderers. Hickman, Glatman, Bashor, Sirhan, Manson, Turner, Bianchi and Buono, just to name an ugly few. These remain stories told once and again. Tragic cases that commanded varying degrees of attention. None upset the urban routine like the Night Stalker. His crimes activated insecurities previously foreign to Angelenos. Brutal and unthinkable killings moved millions to a state of near lockdown. Law enforcement's simultaneous scramble aimed to calm the masses and catch a killer. The effect on the millions of innocents was patently unfair, but proved abundantly necessary. The social impact of the serial killings and serial crimes committed by Richard Ramirez is discussed by a number of contributors who bolted doors, locked windows and took up arms in the heat of just a single summer. It was 1985.It was Satan's Summer in the City of Angels.

New Edition as part City of Vancouver's Legacy Book Project, with foreword by historian Daniel FrancisWho Killed Janet Smith? examines one of the most infamous and still unsolved murder cases in Canadian history: the 1924 murder of twenty-two-year-old Scottish nursemaid Janet Smith. Originally published in 1984, and out of print for over a decade, this tale of intrigue, racism, privilege, and corruption in high places is a true-crime recreation that reads like a complex thriller.We are pleased to be reissuing this title as part of the City of Vancouver's Legacy Book Project. This new edition features a Foreword by historian Daniel Francis.Praise for Who Killed Janet Smith?"e; drug traffic, Roaring Twenties hedonism, official corruption, cutthroat competition among newspapers, a public taste for occultism, etc.-and entrust the whole works to a good storyteller, and you have one terrific political history of Vancouver."e; (Geist Magazine)"e;Starkins has written an engaging and well-crafted popular social history of Vancouver in the ostensibly hopeful, materially buoyant 'flapper era' between the end of the slaughter of the Great War and the onset of the Depression. He reveals the serious fault-lines and profound anxieties of a community emerging in this decade from both its recent frontier past and a costly war into becoming a settled North American city. this is a very worthwhile and informative case study, one that is likely to keep the conundrum in the title alive and encourage further research on the topic. And who did kill Janet Smith and why? Despite the author's attempt to follow up as many leads as he could find, the answer remains elusive. Despite the presence of a smoking gun, whose hand pressed the trigger is still a mystery, although in an updated afterword Starkins warms to one explanation. As with all mysteries, that should remain for now a mystery."e; (BC Studies)"e;Mr. Starkins excavates each layer of the story like an archaeologist with a trowel and camel-hair brush. He misses nothing. The result is one of those unputdownable reads that stays in your memory."e; (Howard Engel)

These seven murders are perhaps the most sadistic serial killers to ever live.Albert Fish was a rapist, a child killer and a cannibal who not satisfied with the torture and murders of his young victims would write to the parents to detail all of the vile things he did to the children. One such letter in this book. Albert Fish may have been the sickest serial killer to ever live. He would keep his young victims alive for days and beat them constantly to tenderize their flesh for cooking.John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, who raped and murdered young men then buried their bodies beneath his home.The Hillside Stranglers were a pair of cousins who for months terrorized the state of California. These two sadistic creatures would kidnap women, rape them and then strangle them to death before dumping their bodies along hillsides. No one would be safe from them, prostitutes, students, and children would be targeted by them. Rarely in the history of the world has two men worked so effectively together as killers.Carl Panzram bragged about murdering twenty-one men. He claimed to have raped over one thousand men and boys. This evil creature promised to kill anyone who bothered him and by keeping that promise with the murder of a fellow inmate finally got him the death penalty that he deserved.The Boston Strangler Albert Henry DeSalvo terrorized a major America city. The rapes and murders that were committed between 1962-64 are legendary. Thirteen women were sexually assaulted and strangled between the ages of 19 -85 years of age.Russian serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo murdered at least fifty-two women and children. This Russian madman had free rein for almost two decades to prey on the innocent because he lived in a country that until he came along refused to believe that a serial killer could exist there.H.H. Holmes is considered by many to be America's first serial Killer. This man confessed to twenty-seven murders, but the actual number could be over two hundred murders. Men, women, children, his family members, his children, friends and enemies, no one was off limits to this man who actually earned a degree as a medical doctor.

In 1893 Dr. Oliver Crook Haugh, of Dayton, Ohio, boasted that he was on the verge of discovering a way to improve mankind; much like Robert Louis Stevenson had touched on in his book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Instead, his use of cocaine and morphine turned Dr. Haugh into a monster who became a danger to nearly everyone who ever loved him. From the period of 1891 to 1905 it was thought that he had committed at least sixteen murders; with victims in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Did he actually commit all of the murders? Did some of his victims die due to poor doctoring instead of outright murder? Was he guilty of the charge that eventually led to his execution at the Ohio Penitentiary in 1907? You decide.

This lunatic believed that his killings would help to prevent earthquakes.Edmund Kemper a six foot nine mountain of a man who was every bit the monster that his size would indicate. His total number of murders may only be in the single digits, but of all the killers that I have read about or written about this is by far the sickest creature of them all. The evil acts that he perpetrated on members of his own family, innocent strangers, the living and the dead marks him as one of the vilest creatures to ever roam the earth. Reading about his crimes may cost you a part of your humanity. He is the reason that this book is titled Butchers and Lunatics.Robert Berdella, the Kansas City Butcher. Kidnapping, torture, rape and murder was the stock and trade of this man for over a decade before his capture.The first name in serial killers and even after a hundred and thirty years Jack The Ripper's crimes are not to be overlooked. These were some of the most vicious murders ever and his reign of terror all but paralyzed the largest city on earth for nearly a year. You have heard of him, but do you really know how bloody those murders were?

As far as the British press were concerned, the year 1888 was very much the year of "Jack the Ripper". The still unidentified killer stalked the ill-lit streets of Whitechapel, brutally slaying five prostitutes between August and November of 1888 before slipping back into the shadows from whence he came.But while "Jack" was one of the earliest, and undoubtedly the most famous serial killer, he wasn't the first to fit the profile. In fact, it would appear that even at the time that "Jack the Ripper" was chalking up his bloody tally, another serial killer was stalking the streets of London.Between May 1887 and September 1889, the dismembered remains of four women were found in, or in the vicinity of, the Thames River.Collected here are the original newspaper accounts of these murders, tracing, in the voices of the time, the events, theories, and pursuit of a "forgotten Ripper".The number of leads are few, the number of theories just as thin on the ground. But the case of the "Thames Torso Murderer", this "Forgotten Ripper", is one which holds just as much mystery, if not more, as his more famous counterpart.

Six essays on the conspiracy theories and intrigues surrounding the JFK assassination by Edward Jay Epstein. Epstein, who Michael Wolff in USA Today describes as "one of the great investigative journalists of the era," was the only journalist to have interviewed the Warren Commission. These essays deal with 60 theories of the assassination, the death of George De Mohrenschildt (who was shot in the midst of a 4-day interview with Epstein), Oliver Stone's movie JFK, and a parallel CIA murder plot. PRAISE FOR EDWARD JAY EPSTEIN "Epstein believes that conspiracies are more common than most journalists credit; for much of his career, he has reveled in the kind of tantalizing clues that could lead somewhere, or nowhere." -Joe Nocera, The New York Times "Epstein is a bulldog researcher." -Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post "A brilliant investigator." - Lou Dobbs

This edition profiles 75 illustrated murder cases committed within California, Oregon, Washington, Northern Idaho and Montana. Accompanying photography returns the reader to the scene of the crime with precise listed locations.The most daunting dilemma of a murder investigation is typically uncovering proof beyond a reasonable doubt that a perpetrator committed a killing. The evolution of forensic technology has enabled investigators to match DNA profiles from evidence obtained at a crime scene with specific individual samplings. This development has resulted in several high profile cases ultimately achieving resolution.Some of the accompanying profiles have developed promising suspects and probable perpetrators, but lacked the tangible evidence or persuasive courtroom presentation to convict. In a few instances, due to the notoriety of the trial, the court of popular opinion did convict the defendant, yet they remain free of incarceration. Other cases have simply lacked accompanying evidence from the outset and subsequent clues or confessions have never materialized.For a victim's immediate circle of family, acquaintances and even society in general, a lack of closure becomes an accompanying torment. Stolen lives deserve accountability and one cannot fully understand the enormity of loss without concrete explanations of motive. Given time, some of these cases may one day find closure. Some murderers do have a conscience and scientific advancements may one day piece together the fractured incoherency of inconclusive evidence.CALIFORNIAUnsolved Murders: The Zodiac Serial Killer, Black Dahlia, Rapper Notorious B.I.G>, Gangster Bugsy Siegel, Bonnie Lee Bakley, Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ronald Goldman, Joseph The Animal Barboza, Kevin Collins, Actress Virginia Rapp, Gangster Fung Little Pete Jing Toy, Film Director William Desmond Taylor, Actor Ted Healy, Sleepy Lagoon Killing, Geneva Elroy, Vic Weiss, Crib Founder Raymond Washington, Wonderland Murders, Karen Mitchell Disappearance, Kristin Smart, Eastside Salinas Gang Killings, Santa Rose Hitchhiker Murders, Bob Domingos and Linda Edwards, Kym Morgan, Ramona Irene Price and Tamara Rand.Extended Cold Cases Resolved: Lindsay Cutshall and Jason Allen, Mickey and Trudy Thompson and Golden State Serial KillerOREGONState Prison Director Michael Francke, Diane Hank, Roma Ollison, Anne Jeanne Tingry-Le-Coz, Old Town Pizza Phantom, Alice Wells, Frank Akin, 1946 Willamette River Murder, Larry Peyton and Beverly Allan and Kyron HormanExtended Cold Cases Resolved: Federal Public defender Nancy BergesonWASHINGTONAnn Marie Burr, Edwin Pratt, Judge Tom Wales, Chalisa Lewis, Louis Bellessa, Labor activist Laura Law, Charles Mattson, Nathan Trigger Gilstrap, Marsha Weatter and Katherine Allen, Tacoma's Puyallup Avenue Prostitutes, Oleg Babichenko, Roseanne Pleasant, Susette Werner, Timothy Alioth and Donna Plew, Tia Hicks, Fred Cohen and James Jimmy SmithExtended Cold Cases Resolved: Barbara Hickey, Brian Cole, Michella Welch, Jennifer Bastian and Serial Killer Donna PerryNORTHERN IDAHORemains of Fatty Carroll's Murder VictimsMONTANAUnion agitator Frank Little, John Bozeman, Marjorie and Nancy McQuiston, Julianne Stallman, Florence Beauty Salon Massacre, Paul Maclean, Sheila Fallang-Jordan, Bobby Kelly, Mrs. John Dougherty, Nyleen Kay Marshall, Dr. Henry Cayley and Eva HartExtended Cold Cases Resolved: Verna Joy Kvale and Donna Meagher
