216 p.; ill. Very minor shelf wear, and a small initial in pen to upper corner of half-title, otherwise Fine.
From the back:
Norman "Red" Ryan was a notorious bank robber, safecracker, and killer. He escaped from Kingston Penitentiary twice—first by force, and then years later by gulling the credulous into believing that he was "reformed." Ryan's second emancipation included the prison's Roman Catholic chaplain, several nationally prominent citizens, the country's largest newspaper, and, ultimately, R. B. Bennett, the prime minister of Canada, who made the mistake of arranging a "political parole" for Ryan.
Six people—three of them innocent victims—died as a result of Red Ryan's freedom. Dubbed "the Jesse James of Canada" and "Canada's most notorious criminal," Ryan had compiled a record of nineteen convictions for crimes of theft and violence, and had been in nine shooting affrays with police and citizens. He was a "lifer" in an arrow when "life" meant just… Read More

Description:
First thus, first printing (Greywood edition). [Originally published by Harlequin Books, Winnipeg, 1954.]158 p. ; 18 cm. An handsome, edge-painted (red), vintage paperback with pictorial cover depicting the Donnellys' grave, shows negligible shelfwear and light markings to covers, with the top red edge being very very slightly sunned, but is otherwise in Fine condition, appearing to have been unread. Did not scan inside book in order to preserve crispness. Photographs can be taken upon request. From the rear: Fear reigned throughout Lucan district for twenty-three long years. Fear of ruination and destruction, of vicious beatings that maimed or killed, and the fear of violent death at the hands of THE BLACK DONNELLYS. The name DONNELLY was synonymous with fear, and brave men and women were as children before their terrible vindictiveness. None dared to stand against them, until one man formed a plan to destroy The Donnellys . . . a plan that was to go down as one of the bloodiest massacres in history.

The dust jacket shows retail sticker residue, some shelfwear, and a small 1cm closed tear to tip of spine.From dust jacket: There have been several instances in our time when famous novelists have turned crime-reporter and tackled the courtroom drama of major trials: Sybille Bedford covered the Bodkin-Adams trial in England and the Jack Ruby trial in Dallas; Rebecca West's The Meaning of Treason had its source in the trial of Klaus Fuchs. But for sheer implausibility and fantasy—for characters and a snarl of plot far in excess of the probabilities of fiction—none… Read More

First Edition.310 p.; illustrated. Good dust jacket in removable protective cover. Tiny dot stain to rear endpaper, and tip of spine is slightly bumped, otherwise clean, bright, tightly bound, Fine condition. From the DJ flaps: Most observers agree that Senator Edward M. Kennedy could have been the President of the U.S. and the leader of the Free World. But, his destiny was shattered near a small bridge on an island named Chappaquiddick. CHAPPAQUIDDICK REVEALED was written because author Ken Kappel discovered powerful new factual evidence that had never been available to the American people.
- According to photographic analysis Kennedy's car may have been in another accident before the one at the bridge. (See photo section)
- Blood stains on Mary Jo Kopechne's blouse must have dried—and set—prior to the plunge into the water, indicating that she was injured in an earlier accident, before the bridge.
- The car may have been purposely pushed, not driven, off the bridge after this earlier… Read More

From the dust jacket: "You are destined to be the leaders of a glorious new order," Adolf Hitler told the young people of Germany in 1938. This was the calculated appeal that masked the Nazi leader's plan to mold the youth of a nation to his will. His main tool would be the Hitler Youth, an organization that drew in Germany's young people with promises of a bright future and then sought to turn them into obedient servants of the Nazi regime.The Hitler Youth… Read More

They had to be, for it took nerve and skill to stop a team of charging horses. A few were sons of wealthy, cultured families; most of them were desperate men who turned to robbery only after all other means of making a livelihood had failed, or scoundrels in search of easy money.

This rare zine, though apparently usually dedicated to the punk music scene, has devoted a large portion of this issue to the discussion of serial killers and the cult following they inspire. Nevertheless, the issue also contains gig reviews, band interviews, scene reports, etc. One of the most unique things about this issue is that it includes artwork by the German artist Lars Henkel, who has gone on to have illustrations in publications such as National Geographic and Rolling Stone. The images printed in Interpol Times cannot be found online and are a series of surreal ink drawings that depict serial killers.

First Edition. Signed (Peggy Murphy Widder). In removable protective cover. 302 p.; ill.; contains index. Illustrated with both photographs and diagrams (pp. 161-174). From dust jacket: Neighbors in rural Kirtland, Ohio, welcomed Jeffrey Lundgren when he, his wife Alice and their four children rented a rundown farmhouse. After a group of devout, often attractive, and college-educated young men and women, formerly from the Reorganized Church of the Latter-Day Saints, moved in, residents assumed they were starting some sort of commune. But under Lundgren's warped leadership, these people nurtured an apocalyptic vision at odds with true Mormon beliefs that would ultimately lead to the kidnapping and murder of an entire family, including three small children. Lundgren ruled his group dictatorial powers. He led the men through paramilitary exercises in preparation for the violent takeover of the Kirtland Temple, and the women through bizarre sexual rituals. Nightly harangues focused on a "blood sacrifice"… Read More

From dust jacket flaps: In a society governed by laws, there are perhaps no more important members than those who maintain order and ensure justice. Some use a gun and a badge, some an attache case and a book of statutes. But they all share a common zeal—to safeguard the lives and rights of their fellow citizens. Now in Lawmen, Crimebusters and Champions of Justice, these guardian angels, the institutions for which some of them work, and the system itself are given their due. In the first part of the book, "The Men," you will meet a diverse group of dedicated individuals. There is Wyatt Earp, the legendary lawman of Dodge City, Kansas; Wild Bill Hickok, the equally famous marshal of Abiline, Kansas; and Pat Garrett, the Lincoln County sheriff who gunned down Billy the Kid.

This penetrating inquiry into the much. argued Evans case suggests that, in spite of the safeguards of which we British are so proud, a man was sent to his death for a murder he did not commit, on evidence apparently overwhelming—evidence supported and corroborated by Christie, the chief prosecution witness called by the Crown, who as he stood in the witness box was already a multi-murderer and was actually accused by Evans of being just such a murderer. This inquiry is not lightly made. It argues the case for Evans'… Read More

And he further enriched himself setting up a murder-for-hire ring. Was he in it for the thrills? Was he a cop playing both sides of the law for the fun of it? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes explores the lies and psychopathy that enabled Bill Leasure to fool even the most savvy of city prosecutors, his own wife."The story of L.A.'s dirtiest cop.. a riveting glimpse of the dark side of human behavior… a fascinating walk on the wild side… Humes… recounts Leasure's story with the skill of a master… Read More
