  For a young subway cop, a jumper is always a traumatic thing. This time however it is the fact that the jumper survived, that will make things so much worse. For his survival leads Lucy Hanlon to review the CCTV footage and see, clear as day, that this jumper didn't jump at all. He was pushed. Pushed by someone or something, that wasn't there. 
  That push and the evidence of it, pushes Lucy herself toward similar cases, to the unofficial files kept by Detective Madden and to his evidence of The Exchange Hex: A strange web of incidents, scraps of evidence and works of dark magic that connect numerous murders to one woman and her unending thirst for vengeance. 
  Vengeance that, as Lucy is about to find out, will be taken with no regard for who else might be harmed. Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned.

  When a body is found at Lynch and Son Winery, no one suspects foul play. But then a second death occurs, and it seems that Ann Kinnear has stepped into the middle of a family feud turned fatal. Can Ann root out the evil or will her plan to move into the winery’s guest house bear deadly fruit?

  When the body of the terminally ill head of the winery is found on the grounds, Ann assumes that the torch will pass to the next generation ... but the terms of the will leave a sour taste in the mouth of some family members.

Her husband secretly asks Ann’s brother Mike to investigate. 
  Then a second body is found in a watery grave, and it seems that both deaths may have been murder. 
  When the family hires Ann to contact the deceased, will what she learns provide a satisfying finish or yield a fatal harvest?

  Peculiar happenings aboard the schooner Helen B. Jackson when one night during a storm, the small crew found themselves diminished by one. Somebody had gone overboard, and it was surmised that it was one of the twin Benton brothers. But oddly enough, it seemed that the 'presence' of the missing twin continued to exist on board during the following weeks. For example, one extra set of silverware was found to be used after each meal, but nobody claimed to be using them. What then did happen that stormy night, and which brother, if indeed it was one of the brothers, was the man who went overboard?

  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
  But first, they give me their confessions. 
  The theme of these confessions: Original+Bloody+Twisted Fairytales = the perfect bedtime story, right? 
  My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
  Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
  The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. 
  Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
  Inside this book are 3 DeathBed Confessions with a ‘twisted fairytale' theme: 
  Patient Kevin – think Modern Day Sleeping Beauty – with a twist 
  Patient Jesi – there’s a resemblance to Rapunzel that is kind of scary 
  Patient Oliver – he reminds me of Cinderella…with a thing for shoes 
  WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?

  Known throughout Tennessee as "Old Kate," the Bell Witch took up residence with John Bell's family in 1818. It was a cruel and noisy spirit, given to knocking and gnawing sounds before finding its own voices. With these voices and supernatural acts, the Bell Witch tormented the Bell family. The extraordinary tale recounts the only documented case in U. S. History when a spirit "actually caused a man's death." The then local schoolteacher, Richard Powell, witnessed these strange events and recorded them in a diary for his daughter. His astonishing manuscript fell into the hands of novelist Brent Monohan, who edited it for this retelling. Richard Powell, State Senator for Tennessee, was a schoolteacher when he first encountered the Bell Witch. He died in 1848.
