M. J. Trow
The Many Faces of Jack the Ripper
Chichester UK: Summersdale. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 1840240164 . Unread unmarked minor shelf wear a few light surface scratches to dj. Illus with over 100 b/w photos. The mystery behind the world's most infamous serial killer -- who murdered prostitutes in London in 1888 -- is revealed in this gripping book that is the first to provide a complete pictorial account of Jack the Ripper's gruesome crimes. Recently discovered archive photographs of the Ripper's victims -- rarely seen by modern readers -- together with atmospheric images of the crime scenes as they are today make this book a compelling and essential companion to the most famous serial murders which shocked a nation. M.J. Trow is the author of 16 books featuring the popular Inspector Lestrade character. His previous true crime book "Let Him Have It Chris" was made into a movie. Now in The Many Faces of Jack the Ripper he takes readers deep into the abyss that was Victorian London and using "Silence of the Lambs" style psychological profiling he brings them closer to the Ripper and his victims than ever before.; B&W Photographs; 192 pages .

Bookstore stamp inside front cover. Cover has light wear to edges/corners and creasing on spine. B/w photos; 12mo 7" - 7�" tall; 313 pages; "Now he's somewhere in Canada with a new identity possibly studying to be a plumber or carpenter. But for years his trade was drugs violence and revenge. Peter Paradis a former male stripper and cocaine addict rose to become a boss in the Rock Machine biker gang only to later turn police informant. In Nasty Business Paradis exorcises his personal demons as he recounts his life as an outlaw biker fighting a bloody street battle that captivated a city and country. The 1990s biker war on the streets of Montreal pit the established Hells Angels against upstarts the Rock Machine in a battle for the drug trade. Bombs blew up buildings and cars while bullets cut down members from both gangs as well as unlucky civilians. After being shot by a Hells hit squad Paradis "dreamed of having a Hells killed and then seeing 30 or 40 of his fellow bikers at a wake in one of their clubhouses. We'd set up bazookas nearby and just blast the building into little pieces." His anger quickly turns to fatigue as the police close in and the Hells begin winning the war spurring a penniless and ostracized Paradis to turn informant. Nasty Business provides a humbled look at the oft-glorified world of biker gangs while exposing its reality of crime and terror. " 170noto . Harpercollins paperback

The Bandido Massacre A True Story of Bikers Brotherhood and Betrayal
Toronto: Harper Collins. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2010. First Edition. Hardcover. 9781554680443 . HC/DJ - fine. Excellent condition looks like new clean with no markings slight edge crinkling on jacket. B/w photos; On the morning of April 8 2006 residents of the hamlet of Shedden Ontario woke up to the news that the bloodied bodies of eight bikers from the Bandidos gang had been found dead on a local farm. The massacre made headlines around the world and the shocking news brought a grim light to an otherwise quiet corner of the province. Six Bandidos would eventually be convicted of the first-degree murder of their biker brothers. Like other outlaw bikers Bandidos portray themselves as motorcycle enthusiasts who are systematically misunderstood and abused by the police as well as feared by the public. We now know the Bandidos were anything but simple motorcycle enthusiasts. However unlike such biker gangs as the Hell's Angels who run sophisticated operations the Bandidos were highly disorganized prone to petty infighting and even engaged in sabotaging fellow members. This is the story of how the Bandidos self-destructed over one dark night. As gripping as any crime novel The Bandido Massacre takes us inside a crumbling brotherhood bent on betrayal and self-obliteration. 700 . Harper Collins hardcover

Roy Shaw with Kate Kray
Pretty Boy
London UK: Blake Publishing. New in New dust jacket. 1999. First Edition; Fourth Printing. Hardcover. 1857823613 . Unread unmarked. 16 pages of b&w photographs from Shaw's own collection. The true story of the meanest man in England. This book was # 1 for three weeks on the Sunday London Times' Best-Selling List and Top Ten for three months. An incredible "rags to riches" story of one of England's most hardened criminals who became a success using his fists and his internal rage. For anyone who admires tough guys or macho men with swagger Pretty Boy fulfils that need quite nicely. Roy Shaw was born in 1936 and as a youth began using his fists to intimidate people and get what he wanted. He was in and out of prisons all of his adult life until finally in1963 he received an 18-year sentence for armed robbery. But Shaw was respected for his fighting skills and upon his release from prison he was asked to "monitor" certain situations at nightclubs which paid him very well. He also began participating in the sport of bare-knuckles fighting. This was an unlicensed sport with big money betting on the outcome. Shaw quickly became the most infamous of these fighters battling until only one man was standing usually Shaw. His fights with fellow tough-guy Lenny McLean became legend in the UK. Through shrewd investments Shaw has become a millionaire finally content with his life. Pretty Boy is an unglorified look into the world of thugs criminals and the seamier side of the system. It shows how one man whose life became a series of crimes and brutality came to find the inner peace within himself to become a sort-of folk hero in Britain. Shaw is unapologetic for his actions -- he accepts full responsibility for his life. Pretty Boy is a fascinating book of crime retribution and ultimately redemption. ; 218 pages .
