  Thomas Quick - The Making of a...

  This journalist’s revealing investigation into the notorious case of Sweden’s most prolific serial killer reads like “a real-life Scandinavian crime novel” (The Observer, UK). In 1992, Thomas Quick confessed to the murder of an eleven-year-old boy who had been missing for twelve years. Over the next decade, Quick confessed to more than thirty unsolved murders, revealing that he had maimed, raped, and eaten the remains of his victims. In the years that followed, investigative journalist Hannes Råstam became obsessed with Quick’s case. He studied the investigations in forensic detail. He scrutinized every interrogation, read and re-read the verdicts, watched the police re-enactments and tracked down the medical records and personal police logs—until finally he was faced with a horrifying uncertainty. In the spring of 2008, Råstam travelled to where Thomas Quick was serving a life sentence. He had one question for Sweden’s most abominable serial killer. And the answer turned out to be far more terrifying than the man himself . . .“Sweden’s most suspenseful murder mystery may not be a fictional account from Stieg Larsson or Henning Mankell. It may end up being the true story of Thomas Quick.” —The Wall Street Journal

  Victoria's Daughters

  Vicky, Alice, Helena, and Beatrice were historically unique sisters, born to a sovereign who ruled over a quarter of the earth's people and who gave her name to an era: Queen Victoria. Two of these princesses would themselves produce children of immense consequence. All five would curiously come to share many of the social restrictions and familial machinations borne by nineteenth-century women of less-exulted class. 
   
   
   
  Principally researched at the houses and palaces of its five subjects in London, Scotland, Berlin, Darmstadt, and Ottawa—and entertainingly written by an experienced biographer whose last book concerned Victoria's final days—Victoria's Daughters closely examines a generation of royal women who were dominated by their mother, married off as much for political advantage as for love, and finally passed over entirely with the accession of their brother Bertie to the throne. Jerrold M. Packard provides valuable insights into their complex, oft-tragic lives as daughters of their time.

  The True Story of the Canadian Doctor and Ambulance driver that came to help a city in exodus.  
  Try to imagine that the city of Malaga is to be evacuated overnight. 150.000 people will have to walk 200km along the coastal road in search of a safe refuge whilst being pursued by Italian tanks, bombed by German aircraft and shelled by Rebel Nationalist ships. Unarmed men, women and children will be shot from planes or killed by blasts from the boats that pursue them off-shore, their bodies will be left at the roadside, abandoned to the chaos and inhumanity of adults at war. There will be little food, transport or fresh water. Nourished only by hope and driven by fear, exposed to the elements and to enemy fire, they will walk through the day and through the night. Many will be too weak to reach the safe port of Almería and will only survive because a an ambulance and a Canadian doctor comes to help. A doctor who will later be accused of spying and betrayal, and will be unwillingly pushed out of Spain by the very people he had come to assist. 
  The Forgotten Stories from Spain Series brings you accounts of human bravery and spirit at a moment of unleashed cruelty during the Spanish Civil War. Stories of co-operation that have a universal message that remains as relevant to the world today, as it was in Spain during the 1930's.
