‎Blake Publishing London 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/New. 237 pages. Multiple copies of this title available. This book is an unread copy. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. On 6th December 1994 somebody decided to start delivering Chirstmas presents early. Wrapped in festive paper six parcels were delivered to branches of Barclays Bank across London. Inside each parcel was a video cassette box containing a spring-loaded shotgun cartidge. The only clue to the identity of the anonymous sender was a still that appeared to be from the hit film "Reservoir Dogs" annotated with the words "Welcome to the Mardi Gra Experience". There seemed to be no motive and no link between the victims. This text recounts one of the great crime mysteries of our century telling the story of one of the most complex police operations ever staged and of a desperate race against time.

‎SIMON John‎

‎Sir John Simon's Speech for the Defence. Sir John Simon's Speech for the Defence. [Privately Printed]. VISCOUNT SIMON'S PRESENTATION COPY WITH A.L. VISCOUNT SIMON'S PRESENTATION COPY WITH A.L.s‎

‎8vo., First Edition, with a full-page plan; strongly bound in contemporary red buckram, backstrip lettered in gilt, uncut, ORIGINAL WRAPPERS PRESERVED, a near fine copy. A PRESENTATION COPY FROM SIR JOHN (LATER VISCOUNT) SIMON TO MAJOR A W H JAMES WITH THE FORMER'S SIGNED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT WRAPPER. A FINE AND RELEVANT A.L.s FROM SIMON TO JAMES IS MOUNTED ON REAR ENDPAPER. The letter is written from HQ, Royal Flying Corps, where Simon served briefly on Lord Trenchard's staff during WWI. Major James has noted the context in a neat hand on inner wrapper: 'Immediately after the trial John Simon came out to HQ, RFC, France, and was attached under instruction to my squadron, No. 6, at Abeele. I had known Simon when I was at Cambridge, and he and Ernest Burge had a hunting box at Huntingdon. John Simon, whom I got to know very well later, in the same mess at HQ. RFC, and later in the H. of C [House of Commons] was intrigued to meet someone who knew his client, Malcolm, well. John Allsebrook Simon, KC, 1st Viscount Simon (1873-1954) is one of only three British politicians to have served as Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary [under Churchill] and Chancellor of the Exchequer. In the sensational trial of Lieutenant [Douglas] Malcolm of the Royal Artillery for the murder of Anton Baumberg [Count de Borch], Simon led the Defence. After the summing-up by the Judge [Justice McCardie] the Jury retired and after twenty-five minutes' absence returned a verdict of 'Not Guilty'. RARE, AND IN THIS CASE CONTEXTUALLY UNIQUE.‎

‎When Men Become Gods: Mormon Polygamist Warren Jeffs His Cult of Fear and the Women Who Fought Back‎

‎St Martins Pr 2008. Book. As New. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Brand-New copy. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears. 284 pages. Illustrated with photos. From Publishers Weekly This ripped-from-the-headlines expos� uncovers the rise and fall of polygamist Warren Jeffs former leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints FLDS. Based on interviews with ex-members newspaper stories and trial records it provides a raw and bracing account of Jeffs's sex crimes and fugitive years. Unfortunately Singular's account is not burdened by nuance or significant attention to history or theology ignoring important prior research on Mormon fundamentalism and painting all polygamists with the same broad brush. Some of this could be forgiven if Singular's lapses in understanding Mormon fundamentalism were not exacerbated by his frequent tactic of comparing the FLDS to Islamic extremists which evokes the intended fear response but remains tenuous. However the book's second half which hews closely to the chronology of Jeffs's flight from the law and the individuals who helped to bring him to justice is more balanced than the first. Singular is a strong writer who uses pacing dialogue and drama to good effect. Readers will find this a troubling and fascinating if careless account. May Copyright Reed Business Information a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist As president prophet seer and revelator of the Hilldale Utah-based Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints FLDS Warren Jeffs sought to preserve the perquisites of office and the religious practices he inherited from his father and predecessor in office Rulon Jeffs. His interstate flight to avoid prosecution on charges related to arranging plural marriages between adult men and underage girls some of them first cousins in his congregation threatened to disrupt his plans in a big way. Eventually apprehended and convicted of being an accessory to rape Jeffs resigned his church offices. Singular takes us into Jeffs' world and the two-year manhunt for him throughout FLDS territory in southern Utah in which nineteenth-century attire and inbreeding were the rule. In bringing Jeffs to justice prosecutors first had to gain access to the isolated reclusive people of Jeffs' empire. They were aided in this by a heroic group of women who left plural marriages and sought to liberate other young women from them and this story is their absorbing story too. --Mike Tribby.
