Pages : 255
Book Description
Diane Fanning's Through The Window is more than an investigation into a crime spree that stunned a nation. It's an utterly terrifying plunge into the unfathomable dark mind of a serial killer, and the heart-wrenching story of the brave child who finally brought him to justice. Ten-year-old Krystal Surles watched in horror as her best friend was murdered at the hands of an intruder. Then with cold-blooded precision he brought a twelve-inch boning knife to Krystal's throat. With a single, violent slash, he severed her windpipe and left her for dead. Miraculously, she survived and would lead authorities to the arrest of 35-year-old Tommy Lynn Sells, a former truck driver, carnival worker, and cross-country drifter... He aspired to become "The Worst Serial Killer of all Time." With no apparent motive and no common pattern to his inconceivable bloodshed, the elusive Sells had carved his way across the country for two decades slaughtering women, men, transients, entire families, teenagers, and even infants with ghoulish abandon.

Book Description
A mad director, off his meds, is making a movie about how he murders the producers who ruined his career. The movie is in his mind. The murders are real. Tommy Veasy, a pot-smoking homicide detective--our hero--who writes poetry to help him solve cases and ward off despair, thinks he sees a pattern in these seemingly accidental deaths. His colleagues think he's being dramatic. But the bodies keep piling up. The staff of a syndicated TV show in its tenth year, formerly an international hit but now only being aired in Montenegro and Botswana, worries about how they will maintain their Hollywood lifestyles when they become unemployable. How will the producer finance his two-hooker-a-weekend habit? How will the staff writer pay private school tuition, an underwater mortgage, tennis club dues, the housekeeper, the gardener, cable TV bills, the couples' therapist, et al.? Not a big problem: the mad director has planted a bomb in the office phone and is frantically trying to set it off. And meanwhile, a home invader keeps invading the wrong homes, to everyone's perplexity. In other words: it's just another day in paradise.

The Bully Killer

Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The Bully Killer describes the life of Big Bull Chaney, the worst bully in Texas/New Mexico history, his upbringing and his lowlife associates who raise hell at a nightclub in El Paso called Wild Eyes. Bull Chaney started with bad genetics-his vicious parents, and began his criminal hobby of bullying in elementary school. Raised in an atmosphere of outrageous cruelty against animals, with his uncle Jeeter running an organized dog fighting ring, Big Bull Chaney grows to be close to seven feet tall and over 300 pounds. He inherits a beer distributorship from his father who bought it with pirated funds, and who is unexpectedly killed while choking an outlaw biker at Wild Eyes. Bull has many successes in bullying other men; however, his luck turns bad when, at an international festival in El Paso, he confronts a giant Viking strongman and a Kung Fu expert from Asia, and he realizes that either of these men could easily destroy him! His ego having suffered major damage, he resolves to find someone that very day on whom he can take out his rage and wrath. While still at the festival, he sees Nikos Diamantopoulos, a 14-year old boy, dressed in an ethnic Greek costume from a closed era, something like a Scottish kilt. The costume infuriates Bull who, with his cowboy, blue jeans, and monster truck mentality, vows to catch Nikos and deal him a severe lesson. Bull finds Nikos walking home through a dark neighborhood and sets two of his killer dogs on the boy, who is badly injured, yet saved from death by his brave dog Rocket, who arrived and diverted the violence to himself. Bull leaves Nikos atop a fire ant mound, worsening his injuries. By means of a fortunate chain of events, a high tech medicine man, Ray Singing Fire, who has boyhood debts to two Greeks, enters the picture and vows to right things for Nikos. Unfortunately for Big Bull Chaney, Singing Fire has many of the same Kung Fu skills as Chang Tien Ming, one of the men who made Bull back away at the El Paso festival. Singing Fire corners Bull at Wild Eyes and, in front of his own criminal associates, gives Bull a gut wrenching lesson about stinging insects, feeling this appropriate retribution for the many fire ant stings Nikos took. Additionally, Singing Fire does major damage to Bull's beer distributorship, causing a steep decline in sales through a clandestine mailing to its customers. Now the angriest man on earth, Bull plans revenge on the Indian medicine man, but cannot locate him. An effort to find Nikos also failed. In frustration, Bull journeys to Eagle Pass, Texas, to visit uncle Jeeter about the problem, who then consults with the Chaney family attorney, Wade Blankenship. The lawyer calls a Mafia phone number, and arranges to bring in a Greek speaking gangster to act as a spy to locate Nikos. With the confidence of Nikos clergyman gained, the spy locates Nikos, who is then kidnapped, along with his doctor and his parents. A video of the victims being menaced by Bull's killer dogs is sent to the Greek Orthodox priest, who then contacts Singing Fire at his reclusive New Mexico home. The medicine man must devise a way to save the victims from Big Bull Chaney, who plans to execute them by dog mauling at a secretive dog fighting site in remote West Texas, in full view of around 100 criminals invited from all over the United States. The climax of chapter 5 illustrates that those who are wantonly violent usually encounter someone they cannot face, as Bull dies under the claws and teeth of the medicine man's wolverine, a weapon he desperately tries to avoid using. Chapter 6 depicts Bull suffering in hell, the fate unquestionably awaiting all bullies, but it also details the restoration of Nikos to a normal life through regenerative medicine; portrays his dog Rocket at the gates of heaven; and his new companion dog, Rocket II, graciously arranged for his by the veterinarian, Ed Landerholme, who was able to salva

The true crime story of a New York mother who killed and a daughter who wouldn’t die, from the author of A Killer’s Touch and Watch Mommy Die. Anti-Freeze For A Husband It looked like a suicide. A man’s corpse on the bathroom floor—next to a half-empty glass of anti-freeze. But fingerprints on the glass belonged to the deceased’s wife, Stacey Castor. And a turkey baster in the garbage had police wondering if she force-fed the toxic fluid down her husband’s throat. Pills For A Daughter In desperation, Stacey concocted a devious plan. She mixed a deadly cocktail of vodka and pills, then served it to her twenty-year-old daughter Ashley. The authorities would find Ashley with a suicide note, confessing to the anti-freeze murder. But Stacey’s plan backfired—because Ashley refused to die . . . A Killer For A Mother Charged with murdering her second husband—and attempting to kill her oldest daughter—Stacey Castor sparked a media frenzy. But when police dug up her first husband’s grave—and found anti-freeze in his body, too—this New York housewife earned a nickname that would follow her all the way to prison. They called her “The Black Widow.” And with good reason. The story that inspired the Lifetime film, Poisoned Love: The Stacey Castor Story, starring Nia Vardalos.

Pages : 334
Book Description
In Golden Boy, New York Times bestselling author John Glatt tells the true story of Thomas Gilbert Jr., the handsome and charming New York socialite accused of murdering his father, a Manhattan millionaire and hedge fund founder. By all accounts, Thomas Gilbert Jr. led a charmed life. The son of a wealthy financier, he grew up surrounded by a loving family and all the luxury an Upper East Side childhood could provide: education at the elite Buckley School and Deerfield Academy, summers in a sprawling seaside mansion in the Hamptons. With his striking good lucks, he moved with ease through glittering social circles and followed in his father’s footsteps to Princeton. But Tommy always felt different. The cracks in his façade began to show in warning signs of OCD, increasing paranoia, and—most troubling—an inexplicable hatred of his father. As his parents begged him to seek psychiatric help, Tommy pushed back by self-medicating with drugs and escalating violence. When a fire destroyed his former best friend’s Hamptons home, Tommy was the prime suspect—but he was never charged. Just months later, he arrived at his parents’ apartment, calmly asked his mother to leave, and shot his father point-blank in the head. Journalist John Glatt takes an in-depth look at the devastating crime that rocked Manhattan’s upper class. With exclusive access to sources close to Tommy, including his own mother, Glatt constructs the agonizing spiral of mental illness that led Thomas Gilbert Jr. to the ultimate unspeakable act.
