Book Description
The Virgin Killer is a story about a psychotic antisocial who interprets his dreams as visions from the angels in heaven. His twisted and troubled mind believes his mission is to kill in order to rid the world of sin. The victims are exotic dancers from the area strip clubs. It is they who sometimes appear in his dreams, and should he become aroused by them, it only proves his mission is valid. Angie Gibbs, the beautiful assistant state's attorney, has outlined the serial killers profile and, with the help of two patrolmen, Boris Greske and Tommy Arthur, set about to catch him and end his reign of terror. The two patrolmen and four other friends make up a group that plays poker every Friday evening. The game travels to a different house each week, allowing the reader to meet interesting characters who add romance, drama, and humor. Hamilton Barfield III owns a realty agency but loves to share salty humor before the poker game begins. It has become a tradition. Donald Bennett, a veterinarian, is a bachelor father who raised his daughter Karen by himself after his wife died seven years earlier. He was introduced to Angie Gibbs, the red-haired divorcee, at the group's annual barbeque. Their romance followed; however, Donald was continuously confused by his feelings for the hazel-eyed Addison Lynch. Addison, nearly twenty years his junior, has loved Donald since high school. She's made no secret about it and claimed Donald loved her as well but just didn't realize it. Addison is the owner of Rambling Rascal the champion Standard bred pacer. Her dramatic and dreadful racing accident left her paralyzed and jolted Donald to face the truth proving her right. The Virgin Killer is George Edward Moon's second novel. The story and characters are pure fiction. Any resemblance to those living or dead is truly coincidental. Like Reno's Funmakers before it, the Virgin Killer reflects the authors fast-paced style and is an easy and enjoyable read.

Book Description
First published in 1993, The Virgin Suicides announced the arrival of a major new American novelist. In a quiet suburb of Detroit, the five Lisbon sisters—beautiful, eccentric, and obsessively watched by the neighborhood boys—commit suicide one by one over the course of a single year. As the boys observe them from afar, transfixed, they piece together the mystery of the family’s fatal melancholy, in this hypnotic and unforgettable novel of adolescent love, disquiet, and death. Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the emotions of youth with haunting sensitivity and dark humor and creates a coming-of-age story unlike any of our time. Adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola, The Virgin Suicides is a modern classic, a lyrical and timeless tale of sex and suicide that transforms and mythologizes suburban middle-American life.

Book Description
Foolishly, the British and Irish governments have chosen the tactless and impatient Baroness Troutbeck to chair a conference on Anglo-Irish cultural sensitivities. She instantly press-gangs Robert Amiss, her young friend and reluctant accomplice, into becoming conference organizer. It is a conference to remember in more ways than one. When a delegate plummets off the battlements, no one, not even the authorities, can decide whether it was by accident or design. The next death poses the same problem and causes warring factions to accuse each other of murder even as the politicians are busily trying to brush everything under the carpet in the name of peace.

You have been warned...Take, for example, Enriqueta Marti who kidnapped children from the streets of Barcelona, then boiled away their flesh and crushed their bones for ingredients for her coveted 'magic potions'. Or take Randy Kraft, known as The Scorecard Killer, a computer genius by day and a a deranged psychopath by night.

True crime writer James Marrison draws upon the material that has featured in the hugely successful column The Murder File in cult magazine Bizarre in order to disclose the kind of sickening deeds that are perpetrated more often than you might think, but which sometimes go largely unreported by the media. Welcome to The World's Most bizarre Murders - the most shocking true crime book you will ever read.

Book Description
Which 'ill-prepared' monarch was on the English throne at the turn of the last millenium? How many English monarchs have been crowned on St George's Day? When, how and why did England 'lose' eleven days? "Monarchs, Murders & Mistresses" answers these questions and many more, presenting a royal event for each day of the calendar year in vivid detail with close-ups of the personalities involved. The book reveals the recurring occupational difficulties faced by the royal family over the centuries: as Shakespeare's Henry VI so memorably concludes. 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown'. Today the royal family is plagued by the press, but even 300 years ago Charles II felt the need to apologise to a crowd of onlookers for taking so long to die. this book contains topics ranging from the death of William III, who was killed by a mole to the beheading of Mary, Queen of Scots. These, and over 400 other tales of royal days, bring alive the drama of what it was, and is, to be a king or a queen.
