Grisly corpses. Odd occurrences after dark. Can he nail a killer with a baffling M.O.? Tsalagee, Oklahoma. Deputy Sheriff Cal Bluehorse isn't sure if unexplained lights in the sky over a protected Choctaw reservation fall under his jurisdiction. But he definitely has his hands full when the same land surfaces a mutilated body missing organs and drained of blood. Battling the semi-hostile clan's resistance to any investigation, the frustrated deputy's work gets complicated when he uncovers a massive drug operation hidden among the vast ranchlands. And with few suspects, more hacked-up victims, and now gruesomely dissected cattle showing up, the beleaguered lawman desperately needs a result before the fields start running red... Can Bluehorse catch a deadly dismemberer before he loses life and limb? Murders of the Sixth Kind is the gripping second book in the Legends of Tsalagee mystery series. If you like complex characters, dark humor, and hints of the supernatural, then you'll love Phil Truman's twisted tale. Buy Murders of the Sixth Kind to expose a close encounter with death today!

The Good News We Almost Forgot
Author: Kevin L. DeYoung
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1575675501
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
If there is "nothing new under the sun," perhaps the main task now facing the Western church is not to reinvent or be relevant, but to remember. The truth of the gospel is still contained within vintage faith statements. Within creeds and catechisms we can have our faith strengthened, our knowledge broadened, and our love for Jesus deepened. In The Good News We Almost Forgot, Kevin DeYoung explores the Heidelberg Catechism and writes 52 brief chapters on what it has shown him. The Heidelberg is largely a commentary on the Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer, and deals with man's guilt, God's grace, and believers' gratitude. This book is a clear-headed, warm-hearted exploration of the faith, simple enough for young believers and deep enough for mature believers. DeYoung writes, "The gospel summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism is glorious, its Christ gracious, its comfort rich, its Spirit strong, its God Sovereign, and its truth timeless." Come and see how your soul can be warmed by the elegantly and logically stated doctrine that matters most: We are great sinners and Christ is a greater Savior!

The Human Side of Homicide
Author: Bruce L. Danto
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 9780231049641
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
The lived experience of murder - those who kill, those whose loved ones are killed, and those who investigate and who participate in the legal disposition of homicide - is the subject of this work. As part of a continuing series with the Foundation of Thanatology, this volume comprises twenty-eight essays which address such topics as the military, euthanasia, terrorism, gun control, and capital punishment. The Human Side of Homicide incorporates legal and public health perspectives on homicide and presents work drawn from a wide range of related professions. Material is organized in three sections. "The Human Side of Homicide" profiles those who kill; "The Killers and the Victims" discusses specific types of homicide; and "Law and Justice" examines germane legal issues. Few texts have encompassed analyses of such range and insight. This new volume will be of special interest to those already followin the research of the Foundation of Thanatology. However, The Human Side of Homicide will also prove to be an inexhaustible resource for doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and sociologist, as well as students and teachers of criminal law, and the police administration. -- from dust jacket.

When a horrifying attack leaves one of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department are racing to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies, but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face-with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.

The Road to Murder
Author: Adam Lynes
Publisher: Waterside Press
ISBN: 1909976377
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Why do serial killers gravitate towards certain kinds of occupation? Why do they pursue certain types of victim? How do they leave the radar and remain hidden? Through his wide knowledge of the topic honed at one of Britain’s leading centres for criminological studies, Adam Lynes demonstrates how theory, practice, profiling and behaviour intertwine to identify the kind of people we should fear (and especially if we are vulnerable to predators). The book also looks at those personality-types most likely to become serial killers whilst hiding in plain sight. From Britain’s serial killing studies centre of excellence. Looks in depth at eight of Britain’s serial killer drivers, dealing with some of the most notorious crimes of modern times. A fresh and uniquely interesting perspective. Demonstrates the links between mobility, transience, recognisance, predatory behaviour and acting out murderous fantasies. From the text "It is apparent that driving as a form of occupational choice is a “popular” form of employment for British serial murderers. In an effort to determine why this may be, [ the ] case studies of eight British serial murderers [ in the book ] demonstrate just how such an occupation can impact upon these offenders’ criminal behaviour…These findings may prove to be of benefit to scholars of serial murder, and to those who attempt to apprehend them."

The Michigan Murders
Author: Edward Keyes
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504025598
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Edgar Award Finalist: The true story of a serial killer who terrorized a midwestern town in the era of free love—by the coauthor of The French Connection. In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, nineteen-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen alive walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body—stabbed over thirty times and missing both feet and a forearm—was discovered, partially buried, on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of twenty-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated. Southeastern Michigan was terrorized by something it had never experienced before: a serial killer. Over the next two years, five more bodies were uncovered around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. All the victims were tortured and mutilated. All were female students. After multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect. On the surface, John Norman Collins was an all-American boy—a fraternity member studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University. But Collins wasn’t all that he seemed. His female friends described him as aggressive and short tempered. And in August 1970, Collins, the “Ypsilanti Ripper,” was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. Written by the coauthor of The French Connection, The Michigan Murders delivers a harrowing depiction of the savage murders that tormented a small midwestern town.
