    Le détective québecquois Devrinne se tordait de douleur. Il avait échappé de peu à une tentative d'assassinat pendant son enquête sur les expériences sur des sdf mais ses lombaires en avaient pris un coup. Gilles, qui l'avait aidé dans son enquête, était accusé du meurtre de Madame Sonntag pour lui voler ses économies. Comment le détective pourrait-il l'aider depuis son lit dans la clinique où il venait d'être opéré. Jean, le fils de la victime, pérorait sur le Boléro de Ravel que les critiques de l'époque disaient être diabolique. Ravel l'avait écrit au moment de l'arrivée au pouvoir de Mussolini et Jean affirmait que c'était un message prémonitoire contre la guerre, répondant en écho au Sacre du Printemps de Stravinsky qui avait essayé de s'opposer au mouvement militariste ultranationaliste aboutissant à la guerre de 1914. Ce jeune homme semblait aussi faire des recherches pour produire des biocarburants avec des variétés poussant dans le désert, stabilisant les dunes et non consommables afin de limiter un accroissement démographique.

  • - The Untold Story of the Moody Massacre

    148,95 kr.

    Stacy was shot in the face - twice - and left to die. The first time the killer thought he had succeeded, and he left 15-year-old Stacy bleeding in her bed. But a few minutes later he must have heard her moaning and returned to her upstairs bedroom. This time he approached the bed, pointed a .22 caliber rifle at her young face, and pulled the trigger again. Later that morning, Memorial Day, May 25, 2005, the Logan County Sheriff would declare it a rampage. According to Sheriff Henry, the night before his high school graduation 18-year-old Scott Moody went on a shooting spree. He murdered his two grandparents, his mother, a high school classmate, his girlfriend, and then he turned the rifle on himself, committing suicide. Stacy would survive. Three days later, she woke up in intensive care. When asked by the county coroner to explain what happened - clearly expecting her to say that her brother, Scott, had shot her - Stacy, in a weak, distressed voice said something else. It was an older man with gray hair, wearing a blue shirt, someone she had never seen before. It was only a matter of time before wrongful death actions were filed against Scott's estate. That's when Scott's father, wanting to remove the stigma that his son was the shooter, hired outside experts to successfully refute the idea. People in the community knew all along what had happened. The sheriff's office was corrupt. Underage sex and illicit drugs had finally raised their ugly heads.

    Not every crime scene is a homicide... There are things to learn and humor to be found in a great many aspects of police and crime scene work. In short, life on the streets is oftentimes interesting and sometimes downright comical. This series is a compilation of stories gleaned from my years of serving and protecting the citizens of a moderate sized, mid-western city. The basic facts are true, although the names of those involved have been changed, not necessarily to protect any innocence, but rather to hopefully reduce any liability on my part. Unlike television, not every case is over in 52 minutes and not every crime is solvable. Not all evidence is perfect. The evidence is also not always as exciting, as shocking, or as damning as the evidence shown on television. Yes, I have seen fingerprints removed from feathers, DNA extracted from lip balm, and fracture evidence matched back to specific items which have sealed a conviction for those accused of wrongdoing. However, more prevalent are the number of cases which had little or no evidence, or which had little if any follow-up investigation due to there simply not being enough resources (time, money, personnel) to allocate to determining what really happened and who was to blame. While television may show what the forensic potential of evidence may be, and how cutting edge technology is assisting in the fight against crime, not every (in fact, few if any) departments, agencies, or labs have access to the types of technology which is often featured in evening forensic dramas. More oftentimes than not, cases are still solved through rudimentary investigative techniques, gut feelings, and basic evidence collection. While not always as sexy and plot twisting as on television, real life can prove to be quite interesting and somewhat entertaining. Welcome to crime scene investigation in the real world. Buckle up, because it's anything but like television...

    A Serial killer who never got to pay for his horrific crimes. Meet Herb Baumeister. On the surface, he appeared to be a successful business and family man, but underneath lay a twisted psychopath. The Fox Hollow Farm, which he owned in Indiana, became the stage of his gruesome murders and is now known for its paranormal activities... Westfield, Indiana is a quiet suburb of Indianapolis, among other equally quiet Indy suburbs with names such as Carmel, Zionsville, and Fishers. The gay nightclubs of the suburb were the kind of places where members of Indy's LGBT community would come to unwind, relax, and feel at ease. But it was these same havens of acceptance and community that became the disturbed man's favorite hunting grounds. He would lure young men into his car and then on to his million dollar estate where he would wine and dine the unsuspecting victims before strangling them to death. However, Herb Baumeister would ultimately commit suicide before answering for his crimes or even explaining to the larger world why he did what he did. Many psychoanalysts have poured over the behavior of this twisted man to create quite a startling portrait. According to them, Herb Baumeister appeared to be a man who felt himself better than most. It has been presumed that it was this feeling of omniscience that led Baumeister to believe that he could do things that others could not. Only he was cunning enough to live a double life, with both components safely compartmentalized and separate, without a soul knowing. Only he could navigate through the complex worlds of business, society, and family, while simultaneously hunting other human beings like animals. Baumeister believed that while most others were caught for their misdeeds, only he could get away with murder. Scroll back up and order your copy today!

    153,95 kr.

    A murderous vigilante group named Black October guns down drug dealers - and a prominent politician. A psychopath stalks the corridors of city hall en route to a near deadly rendezvous with the mayor. A crazed sniper picks off half a dozen city police officers from the third window of an east Baltimore row home. Violent crimes in one of the country's most violent cities, and at the center of it all a single cop: Former Baltimore city homicide Lieutenant Stephen Tabeling. What he learned policing during the chaotic decades of 1960s and 70s are truisms about human nature, our propensity for violence, and what we can and cannot do to stop it. Wisdom he is now sharing as a literary epitaph to over six decades in law enforcement by recounting chilling tales of real cases that rocked the city of Baltimore to its core, and changed one man's life forever. Tabeling is joined by award winning investigative reporter Stephen Janis who has covered crime and corruption in Baltimore city for both print and television.

    af Ken Pealock
    173,95 kr.

    THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY and your government is committing it! TOP SECRET government documents, affidavits, confidential letters, and CIA admissions back up the author's claim that tons of gold bullion and hundreds of billions of dollars -- if not trillions -- are being hidden from the public in secret CIA-controlled bank accounts. In five extraordinary chapters the author reveals (1) How he temporarily acquired power-of-attorney over hundreds of CIA bank accounts from a CIA operative; (2) How he used the Mafia to confirm the existence of these accounts; (3) How he tricked the FBI into confirming them; (4) How he used one judge to implicate five others in the cover-up; (5) How he "paid" five friends $150-million each with CIA money; (6) How a $957,000 tax bill was paid with CIA money; and (7) How he almost "stole" billions in CIA drug money for returning to the American people. Included is a confidential list of 180+ subpoenable witnesses with knowledge of these secret bank accounts: bankers, judges, lawyers, top government officials and private citizens. The author's fiery expose of massive money laundering by the White House, CIA, NSA, and Treasury makes the Pentagon Papers, Watergate, and Iran-gate look like a Girl Scout campfire! For security reasons, the name of the CIA operative and his family, as well as the name and account number of these worldwide bank accounts, has been changed and/or redacted throughout this book.

    Dr Humphrey Albreckt's narration treats of a strange chain of events that befell him when he was newly qualified, at a time when there were still horsedrawn cabs and the descent of dusk saw lamplighters at work. His adventures began late one evening when he went for a stroll along Millfield Lane on the edge of London's Hampstead Heath. He sees a corpse, a clerical gent going by his garments, lying further up the narrow thoroughfare but when he returns with police reinforcements a few minutes later the body has gone. Naturally enough, the chaps in blue are politely sceptical about what Albreckt saw or, as they see it, did not see. Albreckt returns next day to examine the lane and finds a suspicious stain on the fence near where the body had lain. He also picks up a tiny reliquary made of gold, its frayed silk cord suggesting it had been worn as a necklace or in some other way about its owner's person. Climbing up and looking over the fence, he sees obvious tracks leading away from the fence - taken all together, suggestive circumstances to say the least. Dr Waxman suggests Albreckt act as locum tenens for a doctor residing in Jacob Street, thus pitching the young medic into a positive whirlwind of odd goings on, including a particularly inventive effort at murdering Albreckt. Waxman's colleague Dr Kirby takes over Albreckt's position pro tem, and investigations get under way to find out who is assiduously trying to dispose of Albreckt, a man with, so far as he knows, no enemies and with no relatives liable to benefit by his death.

    This explosive and shocking book written by a reformed London career criminal exposes the inner workings of one of London's most feared crime families and comes with an authenticity stamped throughout that blows all the other so-called crime books out of the water Mark Timlin'I loved Judas Pig. Violent and twisted but full of real humanity and a great story.' Maxim JakubowskiA gripping page-turner that lifts the lid on the London crime scene with much more power than the glossed-over memoirs of sundry Kray acolytes. There is no glamour here, just an ugly world of treachery, violence and dishonour, but with an odd comedy dominating the grisly proceedings. Scary indeed. MIke Stafford of BookdaggerJudas Pig is blistering with the kind of authenticity the rest of the ex-con stable couldn't dream of mustering. Tony Thompson. The Observer.Horace Silver has spent most of his life dicing with death. As a senior member of one of Britain's most successful criminal gangs, he has made tens of millions of pounds from drug trafficking, armed robbery, kidnapping and murder over the past 20 years. He has evaded repeated police sting operations, served only a few months in prison and survived at least two attempts on his life. But this week the release of his brutal and uncompromising debut novel is set to put him in the firing line like never before. Judas Pig is the gripping tale of a career criminal who reaches the top of his profession before the ghosts of his past catch up and threaten to destroy him. What sets the book apart is that all the main characters easily identifiable in the underworld and the book is set to reveal for the first time who was responsible for at least five of London's unsolved gangland murders. Book DescriptionBILLY ABRAHAMS IS A CAREER criminal who makes a very good living from violence, armed robbery, operating sex shops and stealing from other criminals. But he becomes increasingly haunted by childhood ghosts and by the ever-growing influence of Danny, his psychopathic partner in crime.Billy finds himself starting to look beyond the violence and the scams, slowly descending into a drug-fuelled netherworld that affects his judgment and his perceptions. He is finally tipped over the edge when Danny commits an act even Billy cannot stomach. And that's when things really start to go wrong... From the Publisher.'Judas Pig' is the genuine article. A briliantly written novel that describes the strak reality of violent crime. Not 'a laugh a minute' caper, but rather dark, dangerous and profoundly troubling. There is humour in there but it is dark, gallows humour. I read the manuscript in a sitting and rank it among the top twenty crime novels I have ever read.

    Tavares Entertainment, LLC. has published and released a powerful and eye-opening novel, written by Gary G. Tavares. It is entitled, "Predator of the diamond: The Boston Red Sox Youth Molestation Story." Gary is a Screenwriter, Playwright, Author, Poet, Publisher and Speaker. This novel is based on actual events. The events took place in Winter Haven, Florida between 1971 and 1991. The Boston Red Sox had their spring training facility there at that time. The facility was called the Chain of Lakes ballpark. There was a Caucasian man named Donald Fitzpatrick who worked in the organization as their clubhouse manager. He was called Fitzie for short. During that time, Fitzie is believed to have molested as many as a dozen black boys, who worked under him at the facility as clubbies. He plead guilty in 2002 but never served time. He was given a ten year suspended sentence and fifteen years probation. Fitzie died in 2005 but the stories of the victims has never been told.... Until now."Predator on the Diamond: The Boston Red Sox Youth Molestation Story," could be the most thought-provoking and compelling untold story of child molestation, within a sports organization, in sports history. You will see how the circumstances of these young African-American boys, who were mostly poor and fatherless, were used to take advantage of them. Take a look into the mind of the predator and see how he uses his position of power to control and manipulate these young victims. Look into the minds of the actual young victims and see some of the signs of abuse which parents can often overlook. We send them to various professional sports organizations to work with some of the biggest athletes of our time and we assume they are safe. However, how many Penn State scandals are waiting to emerge? How do we protect our youth? The answers to these questions may be more complex than we know but this story may help to bring awareness to this issue.

    "Forsooth a dragon cometh too; a kind of wisdom to tally true," two teenage boys in Wisconsin wrote onto a page of song lyrics in 1992, unaware the words sounded like several verses of Book of Isaiah, Chapter 34 in the King James Version. Eighteen years later, Rolling 30's Harlem Crips gang member Darius Gant, with a dragon tattoo on his arm, shot 8 bullets into an innocent bystander near downtown Los Angeles to exact a vendetta as part of a gang war with neighboring gang "the fruit town brims." One of those two Wisconsin kids, David Bilskemper, later (and right before his name change to last name Black) became a jury member on Mr. Gant's attempted murder case- a trial involving an epic, malicious showdown of language between two startlingly different female attorneys and witness testimony from a shooting victim who almost certainly should have died. This is Mr. Black's story, a true crime personal memoir book rivaling "Blood Will Out" by Walter Kirn and in a similar stylistic genre as "My Story" by Elizabeth Smart with Chris Stewart. Part 1 of this memoir series documents the time up to the end of Gant's trial. and a few weeks thereafter. Part 2, which is to come, will document a whole other case that resulted from the Gant case. Chapter titles are phrases and lines borrowed from Mr. Black's poems prior to the case, such as Chapter Four "As Explained by Leprechaun Bob" and Chapter Six "Blast-Flattened Monsters Even the Score." Chapter Five concerns the extensive theological concerns, analogies, and implications surrounding the case replete with the writer's reflections on what had happened.

    Tommy Baker rules his house with an iron fist., but after narrowly escaping prison for a botched armed robbery, he is, too worried to continue with the same crimes, and is looking for an easy way to make money. His wife May knows that he is a bullying tyrant, but she doesn't expect him to stoop low enough to completely ignore his parental obligations. She is horrified at his new plans for instant cash. Even more worrying is the fact that her teenage daughters appear to be in agreement with him. They become increasingly distant with her and she believes that they are doing this to stop her from confronting him and becoming the focus of his anger. She wants to redeem herself as a parent by standing up to him, but before she can act on this, she is drawn into a terrifying situation, where she is more concerned with protecting them all from the local crime boss Sonny Flynn.
