Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. The story of troubled Texas aristocrat Price Daniel, Jr. and his death at the hands of the woman from the other side of the tracks. On the evening of January 19, 1981, a tragic scandal involving one of Texas's most prominent families rocked the entire Lone Star State. Authorities were summoned to the large house of Texas politician Price Daniel, Jr. to find his gibbering, hysterical wife in the front hall, 3 frightened children cowering in a bedroom, and Price himself shot dead in the kitchen, lying facedown in a pool of blood. Price Junior had been a golden boy. His father was a US senator and the most popular governor in Texas's history. "Little Price" seemed destined to follow in his father's footsteps. After a brilliant early career, however, he abruptly abandoned all his political ambitions, divorced the wealthy debutante who had been the perfect wife, and married a girl from the wrong side of the tracks - Vickie, a waitress from the local Dairy Queen. Less than 5yrs later, Vickie Daniel stood accused in the shooting death of her famous husband. Price junior's calm, controlled demeanour was legendary among those who knew him. His own family worshiped him. It was a shock, therefore, when at her trial, Vickie Daniel shattered these images with her descriptions of Price's neglect and mistreatment of her and her children, his drug abuse, his carryings-on with women he knew, and even his advances toward the family's handyman.

Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First edition. Hardback. Could a respected fire captain be one of the worst serial arsonists in history? Growing up in Los Angeles, John Orr would watch in awe as firefighters scrambled to put out blazes with seeming disregard for their own lives. One day he would become a fireman himself, and a good one. As a member of the Glendale Fire Department, he rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a fire captain and one of southern California's best-known and most respected arson investigators, as well as a writer of firefighting articles and finally of a fact-based novel. But there was another, unseen life, one that included many women, a need for risk, and a hunger for recognition. While Orr busted a string of petty arsonists, there was one serial criminal he could not track down. The fire lover used the same simple yet devastating device and was unerring in his execution. His lethal handiwork led to the death of 4 innocent people and countless millions of dollars worth of property damage. Homes, retail stores during business hours, fields of dry brush in stifling summer heat - little was safe from his obsession to see them burn. But after years of terror and destruction, he would make a mistake. He would leave behind a precious clue that investigators would use to lead them to the true identity of the fire lover, to the shock and disbelief of the firefighting community. 338pp. lge. 8vo. h/back.

Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First edition. Hardback, 1st US edition. The story of cult murderer Jeffrey Don Lundgren - a husband, a father, a preacher, and a killer - mesmerised the American Middle West for more than a year. It is a tale of unspeakable evil, of hidden lusts, sexual slavery, of friend turned against friend, husband against wife against child, of demonic, homicidal urges played out within the white clapboard walls of a rural church. Featuring the appalling murder of the Avery family, husband and wife and 3 young children, shot at point-blank range and hastily buried under the dirt floor of an abandoned barn. Why did Jeffrey Don Lundgren orchestrate the murder of his best friends and their children? How had Lundgren compelled such homicidal loyalty from his congregants? What evidence provoked the FBI to raid Lundgren's home on the day after the murder.though they did not actually detect the crime until at least 6months later? Based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interview material and trial transcripts, the author reaches behind the well-reported headlines in this case, to reveal the shocking innermost secrets of Jeffrey Don Lundgren, his immediate family and followers, and the almost equally strange world of the schismatic Mormon sect from which he sprang.

Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First edition. Hardback. 1st US edn.He was the hot new favourite of the silver screen - he was called "The Balloonatic" and "The Prince of Whales". In 1921 Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was the highest paid film comedian of the day. He had 3 films in the can, was happily married, and was at the peak of his success. Yet, today, many people remember him only as a purported rapist. What they do not know is that the truth of his story has remained untold for 70yrs. and that he was completely innocent. The author reopens the case and recreates California's glittering Roaring Twenties and presents completely new, "lost", suppressed, and heretofore-unrevealed evidence to determine what really happened behind the scenes at Fatty's infamous party. A fascinating look at the make-believe world of Charlie Chaplin, Mack Sennett, Mabel Normand, D.W. Griffith, Buster Keaton, Douglas Fairbanks, and Mary Pickford, as well as Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, America's funniest man, for whom it all became dead real.

Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. In 1972, New York's Police Department organised specially selected commando squads of homicide detectives to investigate some of the more than 1,500 fatal shootings, bludgeonings, and strangulations that occurred each year in the city. Each squad was to be assigned the most difficult, and often the most notorious, murders in its borough. The greatest need for such a squad was in Manhattan, where nearly 40% of New York's murders occurred. This, then, is the story of that squad of Manhattan homicide detectives, its 12 handpicked members and their wives. It is about the murderers the detectives pursued, among them Charlie Chopoff, the crazed killer of 4 little boys; a gang of robbers who turned into cop killers; and the kidnapper-assassins of a middle-aged housewife. It is also the story of the squad's 36yr old commander, Sergeant Gerald McQueen, the only child of deaf parents, who fulfilled a childhood dream when he received the gold badge of a detective. For McQueen and his men there were moments of triumph when a murderer was finally caught, but also despair when, after seemingly endless hours of canvassing and searching, a crime proves insoluble.

Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. Featuring a shocking first-hand account of one man's harrowing journey of survival, justice, and fight for freedom. Wrongly convicted, Cook served two decades on Texas Death Row for the brutal 1977 rape and murder of 21yr old Linda Jo Edwards. Incarcerated for 22yrs, his struggle for liberation is a historic case of police and prosecutorial misconduct. In the sweltering summer of 1977, Cook was staying with a friend in Tyler, Texas when he met Linda Edwards and was invited back to her apartment. Four days later, Edwards was found in her apartment - brutally raped and murdered. Pressured by public outrage, the local police looked to make a quick arrest. With only a single fingerprint on a sliding glass door to link Cook to the crime, the police charged him with murder. In spite of circumstantial evidence and no motive, the detectives went as far as to coerce witnesses and falsely testified that Cook's fingerprint was from, no more than 6 to 12 hours earlier than Edward's death (it is scientifically impossible to age a fingerprint). The police also made a secret deal with Cook's fellow inmate, Edward "Shyster" Jackson. In exchange for his freedom, Jackson falsely testified that Cook confessed to the murder during a jailhouse conversation. Jackson was set free, only to kill again several years later. Cook, lacking the resources for a proper defence, was convicted and sentenced to death. After his 1978 sentence, Cook served more than 2 decades in the brutally violent prison system of Texas Death Row, which was ruled "cruel and unusual punishment" by a federal court in 1980. As scores were executed around him, Cook lost family and friends, lived through unspeakable conditions including physical and sexual assault, and fought a legal system, that had left him to die. Cook's luck changed after an advocate and a crusading lawyer joined his struggle in the 1990's, forcing a series of retrials. In November 1996, Texas's highest appeals court threw out Cook's conviction, citing overwhelming evidence of police and prosecutorial misconduct. It wasn't until the spring of 1999 that long-overlooked DNA evidence was found, tested, and used to link another man to the rape and murder of Linda Jo Edwards. With Epilogue. 342pp. 8vo. h/back.
