Schapelle & Bonella Kathryn Corby
Schapelle Corby: My Story
Macmillan Australia 2006. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Good. 305 pages. Covers have moderate creasing. Spine has minor lean and moderate reading creases. Edges of pages are lightly browned. It was meant to be a holiday. A fun-filled break to a tropical paradise to celebrate a sister's birthday. But for Schapelle Corby it ended up a waking nightmare. She was arrested at Denpasar airport after 4.2 kilograms of marijuana was found in her boogie-board bag. Schapelle had become the real-life victim of every traveller's darkest fear - drugs had been placed in her bag after she checked it in. Though completely innocent she was forced to face the consequences of someone else's crime in a country where the penalties for drug smuggling are among the harshest in the world. Her trial and conviction became one of the biggest stories of the decade in Australia and the entire nation watched in horror as she was sentenced to twenty years in jail. Yet despite the huge media coverage the one voice we never properly heard was Schapelle's herself. Now in this searing and utterly compelling book she tells her own story: of being wrenched from a carefree holiday into a stinking police cell of an alien legal system where her attempts to prove herself innocent were thwarted at every turn and of learning to survive - day by terrible day - in the squalor discomfort and violence of a third-world jail. Schapelle's story is an account like no other - of a young woman experiencing the unimaginable and enduring the unendurable with courage strength and humour. It is simply the most unforgettable book you'll ever read. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; Biography & Autobiography. ISBN: 1405037911. ISBN/EAN: 9781405037914.

Beginning with an atmospheric account of Tyburn we are set up for a grisly excursion through London as a city of ne'er do wells taking in beheadings and brutality at the Tower Elizabethan street crime cutpurses and con-men through to the Gordon Riots and Highway robbery of the 18thcentury and the rise of prisons the police and the Victorian era of incarceration. As well as the crimes Arnold also looks at the grotesque punishments meted out to those who transgressed the law throughout London's history - from the hangings drawings and quarterings at Tyburn over 500 years to being boiled in oil at Smithfield. This popular historian also investigates the influence of London's criminal classes on the literature of the 19thand 20thcenturies and ends up with our old favourites the Krays and Soho gangs of the 50s and 60s. London's crimes have changed over the centuries both in method and execution. Underworld London traces these developments from the highway robberies of the eighteenth century made possible by the constant traffic of wealthy merchants in and out of the city to the beatings slashings and poisonings of the Victorian era.

How has Charlie Ng - whose torture sessions were videotaped - managed to escape justice Not only does this book unstintingly reveal the shocking ruthless acts of these suspected killers and how they were finally caught but it grapples with the larger question of how vicious murderers can manipulate the justice system.

The weeks and months that followed were full of spectacle including a much-watched car chase and the eventual arrest of O. J. Simpson for the murders. The televised trial that followed was unlike any that the nation had ever seen. Long convinced of O. J.'s guilt the world was shocked when the jury of the � trial of the century" read the verdict of not guilty. To this day the LAPD Los Angeles District Attorney's office mainstream media and much of the world at large remain firmly convinced that O. J. Simpson literally got away with murder. According to private investigator William Dear it is precisely this assuredness that has led both the police and public to overlook a far more likely suspect. Dear now compiles more than sixteen years of investigation by his team of forensic experts and presents evidence that O. J. was not the killer. In O. J. is Innocent and I Can Prove It Dear makes the controversial but compelling case that it was in fact the � overlooked suspect" O. J.'s eldest son Jason who committed the grisly murders.

Andrew Wilkie
Axis of Deceit
Black Inc Agenda Australia 2004. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 200 pages. Covers have light creasing. Spine is uncreased. Remainder mark on page edges. On 11 March 2003 Andrew Wilkie resigned from Australia's senior intelligence agency the Office of National Assessments in protest over the looming Iraq war. He was the only serving Intelligence Officer from the Coalition of the Willing - the US UK and Australia - to do so and his dramatic action was reported throughout the world. In Axis of Deceit Wilkie offers timely insights into the world of international intelligence and details of his life as a spook in the lead-up to a controversial and divisive war. Wilkie's pre-war statements have proven remarkably accurate: he was convinced Iraq did not pose a serious enough security threat to justify a war. In particular he assessed: - Iraq's military to be weak - Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction program to be disjointed and contained - no evidence of Iraq's active co-operation with al Quaida Wilkie assesses how the case for war was made in Washington London and Canberra and explains how the three governments routinely skewed spun and fabricated the relevant intelligence.

Tiger General : The Killing of Victor Chang
Pan Books UK 1995. First Edition. Medium Trade Paperback. Good. 202 pages. Covers have light creasing. Edges of covers have superficial wear. Spine is uncreased. Pages are considerably tanned. Victor Chang was a world-renowned heart surgeon. His patients included Fiona Coote who at 14 was Australia's youngest heart translplant patient and Kerry Packer. He was the driving force behind the successful heart translplant programme at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital and since his death the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute has been established to continue his work. Dr. Chang was shot down in a suburban Sydney street on July 4 1991. Immediately stories began circulating - and continue to do so to this day - of the doctor's involvement with Triads that he was being blackmailed and that he was involved in a black market of transplant organs. This book addresses the rumours and recounts the facts of the crime. It also examines why these stories emerged. It includes the story of Quong Tart who was a successful Chinese businessman in Sydney last century. He too was attacked for money - bludgeoned with an iron bar in his tea shop in the Queen Victoria Building. Unlike Victor Chang Quong Tart survived. Dr. Chang's murderers were members of a secret society called the Wah Kee - not a powerful Triad but a clapped-out organization whose power had been on the wane for some years. The killers were Malaysian and were it not for the tragic consequences of their actions their plans to extort money from the wealthy Chinese doctor would resemble pure farce. They chose Victor Chang from a list of wealthy overseas Chinese published in a magazine. Once in Sydney they slept on the floors of friend's units and later were three to a room in a Summer Hill boarding house; they had no money no real plan and no understanding of the differences between extorting people in Malaysia where it has been common and in Australia. The issues raised by this book aim to question just how far Australia has succeeded in becoming a tolerant multicultural society. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0330356763.

Dust jacket has moderate creasing. Dust jacket is unclipped. Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Pages are lightly tanned and lightly creased. Clyde Snow is a practitioner of forensic anthroplogy. He is employed by police forces and governments in every continent to identify human remains to interpret the "signatures" in skeletons that are as good as fingerprints in distinguishing one individual from another. Over the last two decades forensic anthropologists have extended their field of activity from police morgues and air-crash sites to the political arena. Among Snow's most celebrated cases have been the Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele the victims of serial killer John Wayne Gacy the soldiers who died with General Custer at Little Big Horn in 1876 and the thousands in Argentina who "disappeared" under the military junta. This book is a scientific study in which the adventures of Clyde Snow are interwoven with an exploration of the techniques used in the Mengele investigation and in criminal and political cases all over the world. It reads like a detective story and at the same time traces the dramatic advances that have been made in forensic methodology. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0747505187.

Sympathy for the Devil : The Emmanuel Baptist Murders of Old San Francisco
Praeger USA 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Condition. 334 pages. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Dust jacket is in excellent condtion. Dust jacket is unclipped. Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. On the day before Easter Sunday 1895 four women entered the Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Francisco's Mission District to decorate the altar with flowers. When they opened the door to the little room containing the library they were greeted with a horrible sight: the stabbed and strangled body of 21-year-old Minnie Williams her blood coating the floor and spattering the walls. A search of the church revealed another grisly discovery in the belfry: the decomposing body of another young woman reported as missing ten days before. She too had been strangled. But unlike the victim in the library Blanche Lamont was lovingly laid out as if for burial. Clues led the police to a friend of both victims a medical student who was also the assistant superintendent of the church's Sunday school. But those who knew Theo Durrant denied that this highly respectable young man could have had anything to do with these horrible crimes. The young man who committed these two apparently motiveless murders was depicted by the popular press at the time as a monster a devil in disguise only pretending to be religious. McConnell demonstrates that he was exactly what he seemed to be: a genuinely good man whose life went terribly wrong because of the biological genetic and mental problems from which he suffered - problems he was not even aware of. Sympathy for the Devil examines the extensive and sensational press coverage of the case criticized by the Governor and by the California Supreme Court the effect of the murders on San Francisco and also analyzes what turned an apparently upstanding young man into a vicious murderer.

Evil Encounters : Two Victorian Sensations
John Murray UK 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Condition. 164 pages. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Dust jacket is in excellent condtion. Dust jacket is unclipped. Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. In July 1861 London newspapers excitedly reported a 'Deadly Encounter in Northumberland Street' off the Strand between Major Murray a retired Army officer and William Roberts a moneylender. The encounter left Murray with bullet wounds in his head and neck and Roberts with several bones in his skull shattered. On the same day the papers were full of news about the attempt by a French nobleman the Baron de Vidil to bludgeon his son to death while out riding along a secluded lane in Twickenham. When the background details of these cases emerged in court the press had a field-day: a beautiful young mistress blackmail sexual infatuation greed for a young man's inheritance. Not only did the press report rumour as well as what seemed to be fact they also speculated about the credibility of witnesses assessed character and decided guilt. The public were enthralled. Richard D. Altick demonstrates that these causes celebres as presented by the press set the tone for the Victorian 'age of sensation'. The public's fascination with crime passion and suspense came into its own in the 1860s; the expansion of the daily press contributed to the phenomenon. A climate of interest had been created and well-known Victorian writers did not hesitate to respond to public demand and wove into their works 'sensational' incidents the Irish playwright Boucicault and novelists such as Wilkie Collins Dickens Trollope and later in the century George Eliot Stevenson and Hardy. Evil Encounters sets the scene for later celebrated crime cases such as Jack the Ripper and Dr Crippen. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0719543738. ISBN/EAN: 9780719543739.
