A new edition of the book The Murder of Bessie Sheppard incorporating a new section covering developments since original publication. A low price, compact edition.
In the latter half of the 1800s, widespread suspicion and anxiety emerged when wives of all ages and social status were accused of killing their husbands with poison. However, what seemed like a massive spike in murderous wives across the United Kingdom and United States may not have been a spike at all, but rather a poison panic caused by hungry newspapers and mass hysteria. This work explores several high-profile cases of women on trial for murdering their husbands with poison. Lust, money and power were often central to the accusations, and the sensational news coverage set off a century-long witch hunt. No woman was safe from suspicion during this untold chapter in the history of crime.

What will happen to Evelyn Forbes if her father is guilty? Many twists and turns involving an American tourist, kidnapping, shots through the window, a conspiracy involving a Chinese political group, tiny carved ivory skulls, a motorbike chase and the two fun detectives from Scotland yard.

From victims of a fire who seemed to have literally went up in smoke to people who left on vacation never to return, to children who were abducted or wandered away forever to adults who either walked out on their lives or were taken against their will, this book puts a face and a life to all those troubling cases you hear about every day on the news. These cases are not just statistics or the plot to a book, they are all true cases of missing persons. Every year in the United States hundreds of thousands of people go missing. Most are later found, but some are never seen or heard from again. Women, men, and children in every state every year disappear without a trace. They leave behind loved ones, who are left to pick up the pieces and move on never knowing what happened to their family member or friend. In this book, you will read about the true case files of those who have seemingly vanished into thin air. With pictures, age progressions, and distinguishing characteristics included for every case, you may realize that you know some small piece of information that may be just what the investigators need to help the families bring their loved ones home, or at the very least to find some closure. However, the circumstances involved in some of the cases may be a bit graphic for some. Reader discretion is advised.
- This classic tale of spies and spymasters is lavishly illustrated with period images to enhance the readers experience. Read, look, enjoy! You think he was the ultimate Boy Scout, but before Robert Baden-Powell founded the Scouting Movement he was a spy. Not only did he spy for the British government, he wrote a book about those adventures -- explaining all. From the passing secret messages to using disguises, from hoodwinking the enemy to knowing whom to trust (no one). Baden-Powell tells all, and it reads like ... well, like a spy novel. But it's all true.
"These latest adventures of 'Raffles' and 'Bunny' are their most thrilling and exciting ones. The sentimental side of their story has never before been shown so dramatically and romantically, and the suggestion in this book of the final conclusion of their careers cannot but make these stories of the greatest interest to all readers." Boston Herald.
The Zeppelin's Passenger is a tale of German espionage in England during World War I. Dreymarsh is a fictional "backwater" area in England with no apparent military value. The story begins with Dreymarsh residents discovering an observation car from a German zeppelin along with a Homburg hat near Dreymarsh. The mystery is further complicated when an Englishman, Mr. Hamar Lessingham, presents himself at Mainsail Haul which is the residence of Sir Henry Cranston. Lessingham bears with him, hand carried letters from Major Richard Halstead, and a British prisoner of war in Germany. He presents them to Halstead's sister, Phillipa and Helen, Halstead's fiancée who have had no word of Richard's fate and are deeply concerned. Phillipa, Sir Henry's wife, is smitten with Lessingham, after Sir Henry appears to her to be a coward since he will not become involved in the war effort. Lessingham appears to be the perfect gentlemen but he is not who he pretends to be. Eventually, Phillipa and Helen discover that the delivery of Halstead's letters come with a price. All becomes clear near the end to discover the secret of Lessingham, Sir Henry, and Mainsail Haul.

Few crime memoirs are written with the brand of raw honesty Armand "The Chairman" Moore reveals in The Heist that Shook a Nation: 1 in 70 Million. It has been more than thirty years since Moore, son of a southern preacher, gave in to his lust for earthly riches by plotting one of the boldest thefts in banking history. His book begins with emotion-filled memories of his first day as a free man, having served a taxing thirty-year sentence for what was nearly a successful seventy-million-dollar crime. Moore is plagued by flashbacks of murder, racist corrections officers and other horrors he encountered behind federal prison gates. Pages later, he delves into a childhood spent in Memphis where he recognizes have-nots in whose category he vows never to remain. Along the fascinating path Moore travels are once-in-a-lifetime encounters with a young Michael Jackson and the prince of Wales. In stark contrast to such golden moments, Moore describes how he positioned himself to operate on the fringes of Detroit's drug game as a supporting, but key, player. The Heist that Shook a Nation concludes with newly revealed details of the crime that made international news, as told by the man described as a criminal "mastermind," manipulator and evil genius. Moore's truth is unapologetic, yet moving, as he makes the case that power is often gained at a costly price.

Robert Graham was born a Presbyterian and raised in the Bible Belt. At 27 he drove from the San Francisco Bay Area south on Interstate Five, destination Hollywood. He had no idea what was about to happen, or how his prayer to be an actor would end. A classic example of a first-degree murder case from 1984 in Hollywood. Opening and closing arguments show how one LAPD officer's simple mistake turned a self-defense into a murder, and how well the Public Defender defended his client.

One of the more dangerous contemporary threats to the quality of life is the collaboration of the political establishment with the criminal underworld - the political-criminal nexus (PCN). This active partnership increasingly undermines the rule of law, human rights, and economic development in many parts of the world. States in transition are especially at risk. Despite the magnitude of the threat, there is little understanding of the security threats by the PCNs and how and why political-criminal relationships are formed and maintained. Menace to Society is the first attempt to develop an analytical framework for making generalizations about this contemporary scourge. Case studies of Colombia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine, and the United States by leading scholars and practitioners included here answer such key questions as: How do PCNs get established? How is a PCN maintained, and destroyed? What do the participants want from each other in a PCN? What can be learned from those who have successfully countered the PCN? The findings indicate that political, economic, and cultural factors play a significant role in the formation and evolution of PCNs. When the institutions of the state are weak, as in Nigeria and Colombia, it is difficult for the state to prevent political-criminal collaboration. A lack of checks and balances, either from civil society or opposition political parties such as described in the cases of Mexico and Russia, is a key factor. Cultural patterns tend to facilitate this kind of collaboration. Markets and economics, too, bear on the PCN issue. The supply and demand for illegal goods and services, not only drugs, in many countries creates a market controlled by criminals who need political help to "run" their business. Menance to Society will be critical reading for security planners, foreign and military policymakers, and political scientists.

Sociopathic and psychopathic tendency murderers and murderesses seem to miss all of the normal attitudes towards the repercussions and consequences of their 'acts' of murder. Those murderers and murderesses seem not to care about punishment for the murders they commit. Those types of murderers and murderesses also seem to have some kind of a strange need to murder their victims, {Their victims, are usually deceitfully and deceptively tricked, trapped and jammed up through or into an entrapment to be murdered.} The sociopathic or psychopathic murder their victims, no matter what the consequences, punishment, karma or results of their murderous act. There are some behavioral and forensic psychologists and psychiatrists, criminologists, pathologists, neuroscientists and sociologists who have been researching the field of the minds of sociopathic and psychopathic murderers and murderesses to determine what are the major factors, in, or of the criminal murderer or murderess mind which led them to choose and/to murder their victims. The research also encompasses what's in their murderous behavioral profiles, cause or causes especially the sociopathic and psychopathic murderers and murderesses to develop their compulsion to carry out, or to carry through with their cold blooded, or even hot blooded murder, or to kill their murdered victims. Often with no real sense of inhibitions in their moral compass. Those types of sociopathic and psychopathic murderers and murderesses far too often seem to think, that their murders are justified, or that they have a right to commit it, no matter what the consequences of it might be...
2004年3月19日下午1點45分,兩顆子彈撼動台灣的民主,也撕裂台灣社會。真相迄今未明,疑點仍有爭議。到底陳義雄是否就是真凶?有無共犯?動機為何?國安為何如此離譜?有無自導自演?九年後的今天,專案小組與台南地檢署均已結案,但是立法院真相調查委員會以及大多數社會大眾仍然不相信官方說法。透過319受害人對於事發經過的完整憶述,以及監察院、刑事局專案小組報告、台南地檢署不起訴處分書、二屆真相調查委員會報告的比對解析,槍擊受害人之一的前副總統呂秀蓮對於319槍擊案有精闢深入的研究,釐清關鍵疑點,掃除民主陰霾。陳義雄是自殺或是他殺?陳義雄真是黃衣禿頭男?二彈一槍或二彈二槍?槍彈是不是唐守義的?離譜的國安勤務!阿扁自導自演?CIA 早已得知真相?誰槍擊誰?本書顛覆您對319的成見!On March 19, 2004, the day before the Presidential Election Day, President Chen Shui-bian and Vice President Lu Hsiu-lien were shut by bullets. The shooting incident shocked Taiwan's democracy and to a great degree ripped Taiwan's society. As of today, the official investigation reports are still unconvinced, leaving various questions unsolved. Is Chen Yi-hsiung the shooter? Any accomplices? What are the motives? Why did the national security agencies act so ludicrously? Could it be planned and directed by the President?As former Vice President and the victim of the incident, Lu Hsiu-lien examines the Control Yuan document impeaching national security and police officials, the Criminal Investigation Bureau's special investigation report, the Tainan District Prosecutors Office report, and the 319 Truth Investigation Commission's report, as well as statements by President Chen Shui-bian, and includes her own firsthand account in details.In an attempt to identify areas of doubt and to find possible explanation, the book juxtaposes the overlapping and contradictory viewpoints of the incident given by the various reports with Lu's personal eyewitness of that day.Lu Hsiu-lien has reviewed over the points of the cartridge, the gunman, whether the two bullets came from one or two guns, the negligence by national security agencies, and the would-be assassin's possible motive. She also criticizes national security agencies' crisis management. She lists and analyzes four possibilities of the assassin identified as red (China), blue (the pan-blue political camp), green (the pan-green camp), and black (mafia and gambling syndicates).In conclusion, Lu Hsiu-lien calls on the Special Investigation Division to overturn the previous conclusion. Instead, it should take up the suggestions presented in this book to break through its blind spots on this case, proceed boldly, ignore blue/green political divisions, and seek out reality. This will bring honor to the judiciary and good fortune to Taiwan.

Este libro trata sobre las vicisitudes y dificultades que enfrenta una pareja al querer construir y poseer un paraíso en las afueras de Cancún, en una playa inhabitada...La historia nos revela también las experiencias, aventuras desastres y desgracias que vivieron muchas personas por esa playa desolada al querer realizar su sueño dorado. Esa playa tenía secretos. ¿Estaba maldita? Aunque esta novela se basa libremente en hechos reales que acontecieron en esa playa perdida de Isla Blanca, Municipio de Isla Mujeres, México también incluye situaciones y personajes ficticios. La playa aún existe, aunque no sabría responder si la playa que un día sentí como propia sigue con su encanto.La mayor de las desgracias que acabó con el sueño de muchos tuvo lugar muy cerca de esa playa escondida. Hubo cantidad de involucrados ambiciosos que quisieron poseer este paraíso sin reparar en los daños que causaban; nunca lograron poseerla. A pesar de los infortunios y desgracias provocadas por estas personas carentes de moral, crecí y aprendí mucho en esos años. Ahora, con un poco de distancia, vislumbro las lecciones vividas y hasta cierto punto las agradezco, porque sin ellas no estaría en la posibilidad de compartir con ustedes esta parte de mi vida tan significativa.Los nombres y acontecimientos han sido modificados para proteger la privacidad de los involucrados. Cualquier coincidencia con la realidad es puramente casual.Después de toda la historia que les relato en este libro y que aconteció en esta playa de Quintana Roo han sucedido muchos cambios. Por ejemplo, en los últimos años se ha construido un sinnúmero de hoteles de lujo, se han pavimentado algunos de los antiguos caminos de terracería y se han construido nuevos y más amplios. También se han abierto puertos. Prominentes personajes y políticos han venido a conocer y a invertir en las playas del Caribe, disfrutando su estancia en hoteles de lujo.Las playas mexicanas reciben cada año muchos artistas. Esta zona ha sido visitada por famosos como Paul McCartney, Shakira, Piqué, Justin Bieber, Melanie Griffith, Dakota Johnson y deportistas como Rafael Nadal y Sergio Ramos. Por nombrar solo a algunos.La playa referida en mi libro se encuentra enfrente de Isla Mujeres. Urantia, como fue su nombre inicial, pertenece a la parte continental del Municipio de Isla Mujeres llamado Isla Blanca. Existe un poco de confusión en la ubicación de Isla Blanca porque, aunque su nombre se dice que pertenece al municipio de Isla Mujeres, físicamente no está localizada en Isla Mujeres sino enfrente, en las afueras de Cancún. A finales del año 2000 se encontraba la entrada a la vereda para llegar a los terrenos de Isla Blanca en Punta Sam. En la actualidad el camino principal es la prolongación de la avenida Bonampak que se une con la carretera nueva.
