Book Description
The MASKS of KARLA HOMOLKA - MY INTERVIEWS with KARLA HOMOLKA: The "KEN and BARBIE" SEX KILLER! by Dr. Paul Dawson presents a forensic-clinical psychologist's analysis and detailed scrutiny of Karla Homolka. Karla was the significant other in a notorious, degenerate serial-sex-killer couple known as "The Ken and Barbie of Murder and Mayhem" operating from 1990 to 1993 out of Ontario, Canada. Additionally, Karla's partner in crime, Paul Bernardo, had a sideline activity as a serial rapist - he was the mysterious "Scarborough Rapist" who raped dozens of young women. Karla and Paul kidnapped, tortured, raped, mutilated, and murdered several pretty teenage girls. While Bernardo was convicted of the rapes and sex-murders and got a life sentence in a maximum prison, Karla managed a sweetheart "deal with the devil" to escape serious punishment. Karla Homolka did some easy time in a "Club-Fed" Canadian prison and was released in 2005. She now enjoys a fairy-tale ending with a new husband and three kids on a tropical Caribbean island. Graphic, shocking, and detailed secrets of sex, kidnapping, torture, rape, murder, lies and videotape are revealed in interviews in this book. Sensitive readers are warned that this book includes graphic descriptions of sex crimes and blood-thirsty sex killers' depravity. You should brace yourselves for a bumpy ride exploring the dark side behind Karla and Paul's bond, picture-perfect wedding, and marriage.

Pages : 346
Book Description
"This is the most fun I've had with a book this year. Every page is a delight and the mystery got its hooks into me from the first chapter.” – Stuart Turton, bestselling author of The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle The letter was short. A name, a time, a place. Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder plunges readers into the heart of London, to the secret tunnels that exist far beneath the city streets. There, a mysterious group of detectives recruited for Miss Brickett’s Investigations & Inquiries use their cunning and gadgets to solve crimes that have stumped Scotland Yard. Late one night in April 1958, a filing assistant at Miss Brickett’s receives a letter of warning, detailing a name, a time, and a place. She goes to investigate but finds the room empty. At the stroke of midnight, she is murdered by a killer she can’t see—her death the only sign she wasn’t alone. It becomes chillingly clear that the person responsible must also work for Miss Brickett’s, making everyone a suspect. Marion Lane, a first-year Inquirer-in-training, finds herself drawn ever deeper into the investigation. When her friend and colleague is framed for the crime, to clear his name she must sort through the hidden alliances at Miss Brickett’s and secrets dating back to WWII. Masterful, clever and deliciously suspenseful, Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder is a fresh take on the Agatha Christie-style locked-room murder mystery, with an exciting new heroine detective.

Dressing Barbie
Author: Carol Spencer
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062802453
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
A legendary fashion designer for Barbie shares the story of her adventures working behind-the-scenes at Mattel, and spotlights the creations that transformed the world’s most famous doll into a style icon in this beautifully designed book—published in commemoration of Barbie’s sixtieth anniversary—illustrated with 100 full-color photographs, including many never-before-seen images of rare and one-of-a-kind pieces from the author’s private archive. Dressing Barbie is a dazzling celebration of the clothes that made America’s favorite doll, and the incredible woman behind them. For thirty-five years, Carol Spencer enjoyed an unparalleled reign as a Barbie fashion designer, creating some of Barbie’s most iconic looks from the early 1960s until the late 1990s. Barbie’s wide-ranging wardrobe—including princess gowns and daisy-print rompers, flirty sundresses and smart pantsuits— combined fashion trends and haute couture with a liberal dose of fantasy. In Dressing Barbie, the successful and prolific designer reminisces about her time at Mattel working with legendary figures such as Ruth Handler, Barbie’s creator, and Charlotte Johnson, the original Barbie designer, and talks about her best and most beloved clothing designs from each decade. But Carol’s most impressive creation is her own life. As Handler famously said, “Barbie always represented the fact that a girl has choices”—a credo Carol epitomized. In Dressing Barbie, she talks candidly about how she broke free of the constraints of the late 1950s to pursue a dazzling career and an independent life for herself. Over the course of her successful and prolific career, Carol won many accolades. She was the first designer to have her signature on the doll, the first to go on a signing tour, the first to design a limited-edition Barbie Doll for collectors, and the designer of the biggest selling Barbie of all time. Now, Carol is the first member of the inner circle to take fans behind the pink curtain, revealing the fashion world of Barbie, the quintessential California girl, as never before.
