Book Description
A trunk dripping blood, discovered at a railway station in Stockton in 1906, launched one of the most famous murder investigations in California history--still debated by crime historians. In 1913, the dismembered body of a young pregnant woman, found in the East River, was traced back to her killer and husband, who remains the only priest ever executed for homicide in the U.S. In 1916, a successful dentist, recently married into a prestigious family, poisoned his in-laws--first with deadly bacteria, then with arsenic--claiming the real murderer was an Egyptian incubus who took control of his body. Drawing on court transcripts, newspaper coverage and other contemporary sources, this collection of historical American true crime stories chronicles five murder cases that became media sensations of their day, making headlines across the country in the decades before radio or television.

Book Description
The golden thread running through the tapestry of Jack Mahaney's life is adventure. These adventures, spanning five continents and eight decades, take us into that radiant world of thrills long the province of knights and dragons. The pity is, not many of us grow up with that "hell-bent" curiosity. While other youngsters in the nineteen-twenties were learning to throw a curve or hit a homer, the Mahaney boy was exploring the nearby mountains of Western Pennsylvania, often alone. While others his age were discovering girls, he was trapping wildcats or almost freezing to death in the Sinnemahone Forest. All his life Jack Mahaney has hungered for death-defying action, a part of which he captures in this, his first book. At age eighty-nine, he is still at it after capturing a national award from the Writers' Workshop. Following the exploits in "Hell-bent for Adventure," he took off for Russia, then to China, after a raft trip down the Colorado was cut short by the Park Service. Ironically, that cancellation almost cost Jack his life for it was in China that fate laid a trap for him, resulting in paralysis and near death in Shanghai Hospital. Miraculously--the miracle set in motion by the moxie and enterprise of his daughters--he was evacuated to Hong Kong and committed to the care of a specialist who accompanied him in the long flight home and thence to St. Joseph's Hospital in Asheville, NC. But that's another book. Today, still hale and hearty and "hell-bent," he plans further adventures into the unknown. Richard Gilbert, editor and author of "Amazing Graces."

Diary of a Murderer
Author: Young-ha Kim
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 1328545563
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
This collection from the acclaimed South Korean author is “filled with the kind of sublime, galvanizing stories that strike like a lightning bolt” (Nylon). Diary of a Murderer captivates and provokes in equal measure, exploring what it means to be on the edge—between life and death, good and evil. In the titular novella, a former serial killer suffering from memory loss sets his sights on one final target: his daughter’s boyfriend, who he suspects is also a serial killer. In other stories we witness an affair between two childhood friends that questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family’s disintegration after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; and a wild, erotic ride about pursuing creativity at the expense of everything else. From “one of South Korea’s best and most worldly writers” (NPR), Diary of a Murderer is a chillingly entertaining ride. “Kim is expert at finding the humanity inside the other, the comedy inside the tragedy, and the twisted within the seemingly normal.” —CrimeReads
