Murder at Yosemite
New York: St Martin's Paperbacks. Very Good. 1999. First Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Spine crease. Full number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. . 239 pages. Amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of Yosemite National Park four terrifying killings took place. For months law enforcement officials were stumped by the deaths of three tourists: Carole Sund her teenaged daughter Juli and a family friend Silvina Pelosso. But when they found the decapitated body and head of 26-year-old naturalist Joie Ruth Armstrong they were led to one man: 37-year-old handyman Cary Stayner. Stayner was arrested at a California nudist colony and soon admitted to all four killings claiming he'd had urges to kill women for thirty years. And Cary's twisted impulses were not the only tragedy of the Stayner family. At the age of seven his younger brother Steven was abducted by a pedophile and forced to live with the man for seven years until he escaped. His story was told in a TV movie called "I Know My First Name is Steven." Steven would ultimately die in a motorcycle crash at twenty-four. What are the odds of one family suffering such astounding tragedies What would compel a seemingly pleasant clean-cut man to brutally attack and gruesomely kill four innocent women Did he act alone Or was his a false confession Bestselling true crime author Carlton Smith searches for the shocking answers in Murder at Yosemite this fascinating account of murder and madness. .

Smith Mary Ann Tirone
Girls of Tender Age: A Memoir
Free Press 2005. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-good clean condition. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. 289 pages. Illustrated. NO writing marks or tears inside book. In Girls of Tender Age Mary-Ann Tirone Smith fully articulates with great humor and tenderness the wild jubilance of an extended French-Italian family struggling to survive in a post-World War II housing project in Hartford Connecticut. Smith seamlessly combines a memoir whose intimacy matches that of Angela's Ashes with the tale of a community plagued by a malevolent predator that holds the emotional and cultural resonance of The Lovely Bones. Smith's Hartford neighborhood is small-town America where everyone's door is unlocked and the school church library drugstore 5 & 10 grocery and tavern are all within walking distance. Her family is peopled with memorable characters -- her possibly psychic mother who's always on the verge of a nervous breakdown her adoring father who makes sure she has something to eat in the morning beyond her usual gulp of Hershey's syrup her grandfather who teaches her to bash in the heads of the eels they catch on Long Island Sound Uncle Guido who makes the annual bagna cauda and the numerous aunts and cousins who parade through her life with love and food and endless stories of the old days. And then there's her brother Tyler. Smith's household was "different." Little Mary-Ann couldn't have friends over because her older brother Tyler an autistic before anyone knew what that meant was unable to bear noise of any kind. To him the sound of crying laughing phones ringing or toilets flushing was "a cloud of barbed needles" flying into his face. Subject to such an assault he would substitute that pain with another: he'd try to chew his arm off. Tyler was Mary-Ann's real-life Boo Radley albeit one whose bookshelves sagged under the weight of the World War II books he collected and read obsessively. Hanging over this rough-and-tumble American childhood is the sinister shadow of an approaching serial killer. The menacing Bob Malm lurks throughout this joyous and chaotic family portrait and the havoc he unleashes when the paths of innocence and evil cross one early December evening in 1953 forever alters the landscape of Smith's childhood. Girls of Tender Age is one of those books that will forever change its readers because of its beauty and power and remarkable wit. Free Press Hardcover
