The Unusual Suspect: The Rise and Fall of a Modern-Day Outlaw
By Ben Machell. 2020
The remarkable true story of a modern-day Robin Hood: a British college student who started robbing banks as the financial…
crisis unfolded.&“Completely fascinating . . . [The Unusual Suspect] reads like a deep psychological thriller, but it&’s real. Is truth stranger than fiction? You bet.&”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen Jackley was a young British college student when the global financial crisis began in 2007. Overwhelmed by the growing indifference toward economic equality, he became obsessed with the idea of taking on the role of Robin Hood. With no prior experience, he resolved to become a bank robber. He would steal from the rich and give to the poor. Against all likelihood, his plan actually worked. Jackley used disguises, elaborate escape routes, and fake guns to successfully hold up a string of banks, making away with thousands of pounds. He attempted ten robberies in southwest England over a six-month period. Banknotes marked with &“RH&”—&“Robin Hood&”—began finding their way into the hands of the homeless. Motivated by a belief that global capitalism was ruining lives and driving the planet toward ecological disaster, he dreamed of changing the world for the better through his crimes. The police, despite their concerted efforts, had no idea what was going on or who was responsible. That is, until Jackley&’s ambition got the better of him. This is his story. Acclaimed journalist Ben Machell had full and direct access to Stephen Jackley, who in turn shared his complete set of diaries, selections of which are included throughout the narrative. The result lends an intense intimacy and urgency to Jackley&’s daring and disturbing tale, shedding light on his mental state and the challenges he faced in his own mind and beyond. It wasn&’t until Jackley was held in custody that he underwent a psychiatric evaluation, resulting in a diagnosis of Asperger&’s syndrome. Behind the simple act of bank robbery lies a complex and emotionally wrought story of an individual whose struggles led him to create a world in which he would succeed against all odds. Until he didn&’t.Bad Medicine: Catching New York's Deadliest Pill Pusher

Res. 24, Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors
By Majority Staff Committee on the Judiciary. 2021
With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author and former confidante of Donald J. Trump, Michael Cohen, the official report of…
materials supporting the first-ever second impeachment of a President of the United States—complete with US Constitution included. In 2019, Donald Trump became only the third US President to be impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of congress. In January 2021, he became the first President in American history to be impeached for a second time. Though no sitting president was ever convicted, will Trump be the first there, too? Still in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which the president has also been accused of handling poorly, and an ongoing refusal to concede his loss to rival candidate Joe Biden, Donald Trump is said to have provoked his followers to storm the US Capitol in Washington, DC, resulting in a shocking protest-turned-violent in an effort to stop the official Electoral count in certifying Biden's victory. The unprecedented event led to the deaths of at least five people, as well as the President being banned from all major social media, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and more, due to risk of inciting more violence. This groundbreaking report—released by the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Jerrold Nadler—covers Trump's conduct leading up to January 6, 2021, the attack on the capitol, his response to the insurrection, and provides a compelling argument as to why there is an immediate need to consider impeachment despite Trump having only seven days left in office.In The Name Of The Children: An FBI Agent's Relentless Pursuit Of The Nation's Worst Predators
By Marilee Strong, Jeffrey L. Rinek. 2018
In the Name of the Children gives an unflinching look at what it's like to fight a never-ending battle against…
an enemy far more insidious than terrorists: the predators, lurking amongst us, who seek to harm our children. During his 30-year career with the FBI, Jeff Rinek worked hundreds of investigations involving crimes against children: from stranger abduction to serial homicide to ritualized sexual abuse. Those who do this kind of work are required to plumb the depths of human depravity, to see things no one should ever have to see - and once seen can never forget. There is no more important - or more brutal - job in law enforcement, and few have been more successful than Rinek at solving these sort of cases. Most famously, Rinek got Cary Stayner to confess to all four of the killings known as the Yosemite Park Murders, an accomplishment made more extraordinary by the fact that the FBI nearly pinned the crimes on the wrong suspects. Rinek's recounting of the confession and what he learned about Stayner provides perhaps the most revelatory look ever inside the psyche of a serial killer and a privileged glimpse into the art of interrogation. In the Name of the Children takes readers into the trenches of real-time investigations where every second counts and any wrong decision or overlooked fact can have tragic repercussions. Rinek offers an insider's perspective of the actual case agents and street detectives who are the boots on the ground in this war at home. By placing us inside the heart and mind of a rigorously honest and remarkably self-reflective investigator, we will see with our own eyes what it takes-and what it costs - to try to keep our children safe and to bring to justice those who prey on society's most vulnerable victims. With each chapter dedicated to a real case he worked, In the Name of the Children also explores the evolution of Rinek as a Special Agent - whose unorthodox, empathy-based approach to interviewing suspects made him extraordinarily successful in obtaining confessions - and the toll it took to have such intimate contact with child molesters and murderers. Beyond exploring the devastating impact of these unthinkable crimes on the victims and their families, this book offers an unprecedented look at how investigators and their loved ones cope while living in the spectre of so much suffering.The Don: The Story of Toronto's Infamous Jail
By Lorna Poplak. 2020
An in-depth exploration of the Don Jail from its inception through jailbreaks and overcrowding to its eventual shuttering and rebirth.…
Conceived as a “palace for prisoners,” the Don Jail never lived up to its promise. Although based on progressive nineteenth-century penal reform and architectural principles, the institution quickly deteriorated into a place of infamy where both inmates and staff were in constant danger of violence and death. Its mid-twentieth-century replacement, the New Don, soon became equally tainted. Along with investigating the origins and evolution of Toronto’s infamous jail, The Don presents a kaleidoscope of memorable characters — inmates, guards, governors, murderous gangs, meddlesome politicians, harried architects, and even a pair of star-crossed lovers whose doomed romance unfolded in the shadow of the gallows. This is the story of the Don’s tumultuous descent from palace to hellhole, its shuttering and lapse into decay, and its astonishing modern-day metamorphosis.The sensational true story of George Dinning, a freed slave, who in 1899 joined forces with a Confederate war hero…
in search of justice in the Jim Crow south. &“Taut and tense. Inspiring and terrifying in its timelessness.&”(Colson Whitehead, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad )Named a most anticipated book of 2021 by O, The Oprah MagazineNamed a "must-read" by the Chicago Review of BooksOne of CNN's most anticipated books of 2021 After moonrise on the cold night of January 21, 1897, a mob of twenty-five white men gathered in a patch of woods near Big Road in southwestern Simpson County, Kentucky. Half carried rifles and shotguns, and a few tucked pistols in their pants. Their target was George Dinning, a freed slave who'd farmed peacefully in the area for 14 years, and who had been wrongfully accused of stealing livestock from a neighboring farm. When the mob began firing through the doors and windows of Dinning's home, he fired back in self-defense, shooting and killing the son of a wealthy Kentucky family.So began one of the strangest legal episodes in American history — one that ended with Dinning becoming the first Black man in America to win damages after a wrongful murder conviction.Drawing on a wealth of never-before-published material, bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Ben Montgomery resurrects this dramatic but largely forgotten story, and the unusual convergence of characters — among them a Confederate war hero-turned-lawyer named Bennett H. Young, Kentucky governor William O'Connell Bradley, and George Dinning himself — that allowed this unlikely story of justice to unfold in a time and place where justice was all too rare.El Prisionero 4374
By A.J. Griffiths-Jones. 2020
Durante más de un siglo, el Dr. Thomas Neill Cream fue un potencial sospechoso de ser Jack el Destripador. Era…
un personaje siniestro, que se alimentaba de las almas desafortunadas que se veían obligadas a ganarse la vida como prostituta en el Londres victoriano, y que finalmente llevó a esas pobres mujeres a una muerte prematura y tortuosa. Estos crímenes finalmente lo señalaron como el "Envenenador de Lambeth". Sin embargo, durante la época de los atroces asesinatos del Destripador, el Dr. Cream fue encarcelado en la prisión de Joliet, Illinois. A lo largo de las décadas, este hecho por sí solo ha causado un debate sobre si merece o no estar bajo sospecha de ser el demonio de Whitechapel. ¿Era posible que el Dr. Cream sobornara para salir de la cárcel, quizás usando a un doble para tomar su lugar mientras secretamente encontraba un pasaje a Inglaterra con intenciones de asesinar? Este fascinante libro, contado desde el punto de vista del propio Cream, explica la retorcida lógica detrás de sus acciones. El autor ha hecho una considerable y meticulosa investigación, siguiendo la vida de Cream desde su adolescencia en Canadá hasta sus últimos momentos en la horca en Newgate.Call Me Commander: A Former Intelligence Officer and the Journalists Who Uncovered His Scheme to Fleece America
By Jeff Testerman, Daniel M. Freed. 2021
When Lt. Commander Bobby Thompson surfaced in Tampa in 1998, it was as if he had fallen from the sky,…
providing no hint of his past life. Eleven years later, St. Petersburg Times investigative reporter Jeff Testerman visited the rundown duplex Thompson used as his home and the epicenter of his sixty-thousand-member charity, the U.S. Navy Veterans Association. But something was amiss. Thompson&’s charity&’s addresses were just maildrops, his members nonexistent, and his past a black hole. Yet, somehow, the Commander had stood for photos with President George W. Bush, Senator John McCain, and other political luminaries. The USNVA, it turned out, was a phony charity where Thompson used pricey telemarketers, savvy lawyers, and political allies to swindle tens of millions from well-meaning donors. After Testerman&’s story revealed that the nonprofit was a sham, the Commander went on the run. U.S. Marshals took up the hunt in 2011 and found themselves searching for an unnamed identity thief who they likened to a real-life Jason Bourne. When finally captured in 2012, Thompson was carrying multiple IDs and a key to a locker that held nearly $1 million in cash. But, who was he? Eventually, investigators discovered he was John Donald Cody, a Harvard Law School graduate and former U.S. Army intelligence officer who had been wanted since the 1980s on theft charges and for questioning in an espionage probe. As Cody&’s decades as a fugitive came to an end, he claimed his charity was run at the behest of the Central Intelligence Agency. After reporting on the story for CNBC&’s American Greed in 2014, Daniel M. Freed dug into Cody&’s backstory—uncovering new information about his intelligence background and the evolution of his con.

By Ricardo Canaletti. 2021
La Iglesia católica habría querido que estos crímenes permanecieran ocultos o que se olvidasen. Pero en los suntuosos salones y…
frente al altar de la Basílica de San Pedro también se mintió, también se robó, también se mató. Desde el emperador Constantino hasta el papa Francisco, la Iglesia católica ocultó asesinatos, estafas y sucesos desopilantes. En este libro, Ricardo Canaletti reconstruye los hechos y los narra con el estilo inconfundible y la pasión que lo convirtieron en el periodista de casos criminales más leído de la Argentina. Canaletti esta vez recorre Alejandría, Constantinopla, Cirene, Atenas, Lombardía y Roma; consigue fuentes, archivos históricos y se remonta a la Antigüedad, pero también se mete con escándalos contemporáneos. A la filósofa Hipatia, una mujer culta e independiente, la lincharon los fanáticos instigados por el poder eclesiástico. Otra mujer se sentó en el trono de Pedro y años después parió en plena procesión. Hubo un papa al que llamaban "Satanás" y otro que había sido pirata. Durante la "pornocracia", los asuntos se resolvían con favores sexuales. Los papas eran padres de papas. Se torturó hasta la muerte para no pagar deudas. Un sumo pontífice estranguló a otro, y hubo uno más que llevó a juicio al cadáver de su antecesor. En estas páginas están los "banquetes de las castañas" que organizaba el papa Borgia. Asoman Maquiavelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Giordano Bruno. Y se busca saber qué hay detrás de la repentina y jamás investigada muerte de Juan Pablo I, que se había enfrentado a la masonería y a la corrupción demostrada con la caída del Banco Ambrosiano; y también de la desaparición -aún impune- de la jovencita Emanuela Orlandi, que une el atentado de Juan Pablo II con los servicios de inteligencia y las tumbas compradas por la delincuencia. Crímenes sorprendentes en el Vaticano demuestra en cada caso que al demonio le sientan muy bien los lugares sagrados.Two Truths and a Lie: A Murder, a Private Investigator, and Her Search for Justice
By Ellen McGarrahan. 2021
In this powerful memoir, a private investigator revisits the case that has haunted her for decades and sets out on a deeply personal quest to…
sort truth from lies.&“Beautifully written.&”—Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Blood in the WaterIn 1990, Ellen McGarrahan was a young reporter for the Miami Herald when she covered the execution of Jesse Tafero, a man convicted of murdering two police officers. When it later emerged that Tafero may have been innocent, McGarrahan was appalled by her unquestioning acceptance of the state&’s version of events. The revelation propelled her into a new career as a private investigator. Decades later, McGarrahan finally decides to find out the truth of what really happened in Florida. Her investigation plunges her back into the Miami of the 1960s and 1970s, a dangerous world of nightclubs, speed boats, and cartels, all awash in violence. She combs through stacks of court files and interviews everyone involved in the case. But even as McGarrahan circles closer to the truth, the story of guilt and innocence becomes more complex, and she gradually discovers that she hasn&’t been alone in her need for closure. Because whenever a human life is forcibly taken—by bullet, or by electric chair—the reckoning is long and difficult for all. A fascinating glimpse into the mind of a private investigator, Two Truths and a Lie is ultimately a deeply personal exploration of one woman&’s quest to find answers in a chaotic world.Triple Death: Embers of Terror

By Virginia Vallejo. 2018
¡Pronto en la gran pantalla! En julio de 2006 un avión de la DEA sacó a Virginia Vallejo de Colombia.…
Su vida estaba en peligro por haberse convertido en el testigo clave de los dos procesos criminales más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en su país: el asesinato de un candidato presidencial y el holocausto del Palacio de Justicia. Veinticinco años antes, Virginia Vallejo era la presentadora de televisión más importante de Colombia y la belleza profesional que aparecía en las portadas de las principales revistas. Cortejada por multimillonarios tradicionales, conoció en 1982 a Pablo Escobar, un misterioso político de treinta y tres años que en realidad manejaba los hilos de un mundo de riqueza inigualable en el que gran parte del incesante flujo de dinero procedente del tráfico de cocaína se canalizaba a proyectos de caridad y a las campañas de candidatos presidenciales de su elección. Este libro, una apasionada historia de amor convertida en crónica del horror y la vergüenza, describe la evolución de una de las mentes criminales más siniestras de nuestro tiempo: su capacidad de infundir terror y generar corrupción, los vínculos entre sus negocios ilícitos y varios jefes de estado, los asesinatos de candidatos presidenciales y la guerra en que sumió a su país. Amando a Pablo, odiando a Escobar es también la única visión íntima posible del legendario barón del narcotráfico, plena de glamour y espíritu de supervivencia y no exenta de humor. Virginia Vallejo narra esta historia descarnada como nadie más podría haberlo hecho.Andrea’s Dream: Enchanted Aleutian Pricess

Muncie, Indiana. Their killer has never been charged. Early on, police focused on a family member of one of the teens as a primary suspect.

Marie Smith, the dawn of modern criminal detection and the launch of the NAACP.In the tranquil seaside town of Asbury Park, New Jersey, ten-year-old schoolgirl Marie Smith is brutally murdered.

It is the detective&’s first murder case, and now, the specifics of the investigation and daring sting operation that caught the killer is captured in all its rich detail for the first time. Occurring exactly halfway between the end of the Civil War in 1865 and the formal beginning of the Civil Rights Movement in 1954, the brutal murder and its highly-covered investigation sits at the historic intersection of sweeping national forces—religious extremism, class struggle, the infancy of criminal forensics, and America&’s Jim Crow racial violence. History and true crime collide in this sensational murder mystery featuring characters as complex and colorful as those found in the best psychological thrillers—the unconventional truth-seeking detective Ray Schindler; the sinister pedophile Frank Heidemann; the ambitious Asbury Park Sheriff Clarence Hetrick; the mysterious &“sting artist,&” Carl Neumeister; the indomitable crusader Ida Wells; and the victim, Marie Smith, who represented all the innocent and vulnerable children living in turn-of-the-century America. Gripping and powerful, The Rope is an important piece of history that gives a voice to the voiceless and resurrects a long-forgotten true crime story that speaks to the very divisions tearing at the nation&’s fabric today.American Serial Killers: The Epidemic Years 1950-2000
