Walker Kent; & Mark Schone
Son of a Grifter : The Twisted Tale of Sante and Kenny Kimes the Most Notorious Con Artists in America
New York: William Morrow 2001. Bright clean square tight unmarked copy. Sharp corners. Not a book club edition. Not price clipped 25.00. No remainder mark. No owner's name or bookplate. No chips or tears. "A Memoir by the Other Son." From Publishers Weekly: "Convicted last year of murdering millionaire heiress Irene Silverman in New York City and waiting to stand trial for a second murder in California Sante and Kenny Kimes mother and son have become two of the best-known American criminals of recent years. In the wake of widespread high-profile media coverage this book purports to fill in missing details of Sante's murky biography. Walker who is Sante Kimes's eldest son and half-brother to Kenny catalogues the wrongdoings of the woman he still affectionately calls 'Mom' including everything from shoplifting and theft to multiple counts of arson insurance fraud and slavery. Walker vividly recounts his childhood with Sante and her third husband Ken Kimes detailing how the couple indoctrinated him into criminality. The author who appears to be exorcising personal demons does a fine job of elucidating the psychological and emotional price of being loved and cared for by a sociopath. It is this tension between the loving mother and the criminal willing to neglect and at times even betray her child that pushes the story forward. Well researched and touching. it testifies to how one son can evolve into a killer and the other live to tell the tale. As a chronicle of Sante Kimes's life it's unlikely to be surpassed by any other." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 405pp 16 pages of photos. William Morrow Hardcover

No Cause for Indictment : An Autopsy of Newark

Focuses on the 1967 Newark New Jersey riots which left 26 dead and the aftermath. Original black cloth. From the Dust Jacket: "'Due to insufficient evidence of any criminal misconduct the jury found No Cause For Indictment.' With these words the public slaughter of more than twenty black people by police state troopers and National Guardsmen was found to weigh nothing in the scales of justice. This is the story of those victims and their killers and the judges of them both. It is the story of Newark a riot-torn city - bleeding suffocating and going mad. It is the story of a mayor preaching and stealing; of police killing and stealing; and of black kids stealing and being killed. It is the story of Tony Imperiale and LeRoi Jones and Tom Hayden; and it is the story of Mafia princes and mothers weeping in decaying tenements. It is the story of tears and rage and bullets - and of newspapers and billion-dollar insurance companies turning away from these realities. It is the story of black people trying to live normally in the midst of insanities." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. 8vo. x 398pp .
