Assassins...Serial Killers...Corrupt Cops...is a rundown of the life of one of the first women to break into the male-only profession of news reporting. She spent some 30 years interviewing the famous and infamous. Some of her stories have made federal law, some have brought criminals to justice and others have sent them to death row. She has won numerous state and national awards and has twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. She also has been cited for her contributions to journalism by the California State Legislature, the City and County of Los Angeles, the Criminal Courts Bar Association and the Society of Professional Journalists, among others. Many of her stories have been read into the Congressional Record.
She wrote of Charlie Manson, who masterminded the killing of Actress Sharon Tate and six others in two-days of terror in Los Angeles, would talk to only one reporter during his marathon trial and she was the one, Sara Jane Moore, the would-be assassin of then-president Gerald Ford.
The final chapter of her journalistic career came when she came to the defense of a young Black athlete, found hanging in a cell at the Signal Hill Police station. "Suicide" said police. A Coroner's Jury said "no" and ruled it "Death at the hands of another" She found witnesses to challenge the police accounts but pressure from business interests in the city who didn't like the stigma and subsequent public outcry trumped justice. Her stories were being withheld, her sources challenged and she was "reassigned". She didn't wait to find out where the new assignment was. She walked out.

Bonnie and Clyde may be the most notorious--and celebrated--outlaw couple America has ever known. This is the true story of how they got that way.
Bonnie and Clyde: we've been on a first name basis with them for almost a hundred years. Immortalized in movies, songs, and pop culture references, they are remembered mostly for their storied romance and tragic deaths. But what was life really like for Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker in the early 1930s? How did two dirt-poor teens from west Texas morph from vicious outlaws to legendary couple? And why?
Award-winning author Karen Blumenthal devoted months to tracing the footsteps of Bonnie and Clyde, unearthing new information and debunking many persistent myths. The result is an impeccably researched, breathtaking nonfiction tale of love, car chases, kidnappings, and murder set against the backdrop of the Great Depression.

On a patch of land in the Tennessee hills, human corpses decompose in the open air, aided by insects, bacteria, and birds, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. This is Bill Bass’s “Body Farm,” where nature takes its course as bodies buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, or locked in car trunks serve the needs of science and the cause of justice.
In Death’s Acre, Bass invites readers on an unprecedented journey behind the gates of the Body Farm where he revolutionized forensic anthropology. A master scientist and an engaging storyteller, Bass reveals his most intriguing cases for the first time. He revisits the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder, explores the mystery of a headless corpse whose identity astonished police, divulges how the telltale traces of an insect sent a murderous grandfather to death row—and much more.

The real story of how the federal government finally apprehended and convicted America’s most notorious criminal, Al Capone.
Drawing on recently discovered government documents, wiretap transcripts, and Al Capone’s handwritten personal letters, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of the nation’s most infamous criminal in rich new detail.
From the moment he arrived in Chicago in 1920, Capone found himself in a world with limitless opportunity. Within a few years Capone controlled an illegal bootlegging business with annual revenue rivaling that of some of the nation’s largest corporations. Along the way he corrupted the Chicago police force and local courts while becoming one of the world’s first international celebrities. Legend credits Eliot Ness and his “Untouchables” with apprehending Capone, but Eig shows that this wasn’t so. In Get Capone, the man known as “Scarface” emerges as a complex man, doomed as much by his ego as by his vicious criminality. This is the real Al Capone.
