  Thirty-Eight Witnesses - The...

  On March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese was brutally beaten and murdered in the street near her apartment, in full view of more than three dozen friends and neighbors—and no one did a thing to stop it. More than thirty-five years after its first publication, Thirty-Eight Witnesses, the true account of what transpired that night in Queens, New York, continues to disturb us. We would like to think that we would step in and do what we could to stop the carnage. But not much has changed in the ensuing years, as crime goes on all around us and we do nothing to help. 
  Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times reporter A. M. Rosenthal covered the case for the paper as its city editor, and his chronicle of the events became this book. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, part sociological study, a disturbing story of urban apathy, Thirty-Eight Witnesses puts readers on the gritty sidewalk of the murder scene and speaks of the need for change. In the ensuing years, the case has become famous, and today in criminology classes, students learn about witnesses and the Genovese Effect. A new foreword discusses the historical legacy of the case and how little has changed in fifty-plus years.

  Every day six people are murdered in the United States by a spouse or intimate partner. The stories of killer spouses capture the public's attention—we wonder how such normal and seemingly happy people can go over the edge. In every relationship there are "extreme moments" where scary feelings surface. But what happens when those feelings turn to action? 
   
  In Till Death Do Us Part, noted psychotherapist Robi Ludwig, along with journalist Matt Birkbeck, answers these troubling questions by identifying ten killer personality types. In her practice, Ludwig has found that within nearly every relationship there are extreme moments where scary and dangerous feelings surface. These are deep feelings and disturbing thoughts we all have yet for the most part never act upon. But when that line crosses over into murder something has gone terribly wrong, and we all ask the same question: How could this have happened?

  On a sunny May morning in 1998, in the small town of Cortez, Colorado, three “survivalists” in a stolen truck opened fire on a local policeman, shooting him 29 times as he unbuckled his seatbelt. Police chased the murderers through the searing heat into the remote wilderness canyons of the Four Corners area, thus beginning the largest manhunt in the history of the West. Dead Run is the first in-depth account of this sensational case: then story of the outlaws’ path to sudden violence, their frightening web of anti-government militia and outlaw associates, and the men who led the extraordinary effort to apprehend them. More than a modern crime story,Dead Run is also an examination of the seductive allure of outlaw culture in the West and how it continues to inform latent national attitudes towards guns, authority, and unfettered freedom.

  "A fast-paced, compelling narrative that goes far beyond the headlines." —KEVIN DONOVAN, author of The Billionaire Murders 
   
   
   
  For Joey Philion, surviving the fire was only the beginning. 
   
   
   
  On the morning of March 10th, 1988, in Orillia, Ontario, a house fire engulfed fourteen-year-old Joey Philion in flames. He suffered third degree burns on ninety-five percent of his body. Doctors didn't think he would make it through the night. 
   
   
   
  After the Flames is about one of the world's most famous burn victims: his incredible survival, his nightmarish path to recovery that helped revolutionize medical treatment for burn victims worldwide, the fame thrust upon him after he was declared a hero from the media, and the tumultuous years that followed, most of which were spent under the microscope of an unforgiving public eye. 
   
   
   
  The story also follows Joey's family, including his mother Linda, stepfather Mike, and younger brother Danny, all of whom endured their own tremendous hardships in the wake of a fire that changed their lives forever.

  In this memoir of true crime and survival, a woman recounts the remarkable story of her father’s murderous rampage and how she was left for dead. On April 14, 1989, in California’s idyllic Sonoma Valley, Mexican immigrant Ramón Salcido went on a rampage, killing his wife, her two younger sisters, his mother-in-law, and his wife’s suspected lover. Then he slashed the throats of his three young daughters—ages four years, three years, and twenty-two months—and left them for dead in the county dump. A day later, when the children’s bodies were finally discovered, three-year-old Carmina was miraculously still alive. “Daddy cut me,” she told her rescuers. In Not Lost Forever, Carmina Salcido reaches back into her traumatic past to reconstruct, in sobering detail, her father’s crimes and their aftermath. Recalling with clear-eyed candor, courage, and grace the horrific event and troubled childhood that followed, a remarkable young woman carries readers along on her miraculous journey of survival, discovery, and hope.
