David I. Kertzer
The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara
Picador UK 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. This is the first UK edition. 350 pages. Out of seemingly small events are sometimes born great historical moments. The case of young Edgardo Mortara is one. In 1858 the 6-year-old Jewish boy was taken from his parents' home in Bologna Italy by agents of the Papal inquisition. The year before seriously ill Edgardo had been secretly baptized by the Mortaras' Catholic servant or so she claimed; it was against the law for baptized Christians to be raised by Jews and so in the eyes of the Church the kidnapping was entirely justified. Secular Italians did not agree and thus was set in motion a series of reforms that ended the Church's temporal power in Italy and forged the creation of a liberal near-democratic state. For his part young Edgardo became a priest and lived in a Belgian abbey until 1940--just before the invading Germans began to deport and execute all those tainted with Jewish blood. David Kertzer has shaped a remarkable narrative from almost forgotten events. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0330348787. ISBN/EAN: 9780330348782.

Pinnacle Books New York 2004. Paperback. Very Good. 350 pages. The upscale suburb of Wellesley hadn't seen a murder in 30 years. Then came Halloween 1999. That brisk morning Dr. Dirk Greineder 60 and his wife of 32 years Mabel took one of their dogs for a walk in Morses Pond park. A short time later Dr. Greineder led police to the corpse of his wife. She'd been bludgeoned stabbed and her throat slashed. Her husband claimed an unknown assailant had committed the act - possibly the same person responsible for two unsolved murders in nearby towns. Dirk Greineder was a well-respected allergist whose home was valued at half a million dollars. He and Mabel had raised three children who had all attended Yale like their father. But the "good" doctor also indulged in a secret life involving phone sex internet porn and motel trysts with prostitutes. A dogged investigation finally yielded enough evidence to lead to Greineder's arrest and in a six-week trial that would make national headlines he was supported by his three children while the dead woman's sister and niece testified for the prosecution. There in the courtroom a jury would learn the grisly details of cold-blooded murder.and the community of Wellesley would learn that you never know your neighbours. Quantity Available: 1.

David Yallop spent ten years on the trail of the mysterious Carlos the Jackal a man accused of some of the most heinous acts in the annals of international terrorism: the attack on the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics the kidnapping of the OPEC oil ministers the massacre at Lod airport in Tel Aviv and scores of bombings murders and hijackings. He found his man. But it was what he discovered along the way that shocks and surprises most.Yallop's intrepid search led him into dangerous territory. He was in Beirut at a time when Westerners were being kidnapped and murdered in alarming numbers and his guide was killed mysteriously. He continued his investigations in Tripoli Tunis Caracas Tel Aviv Damascus Vienna London and Paris moving through the murky worlds of terrorists and counterterrorists intelligence and counterintelligence spies and double agents. He drank orange juice with Colonel Qadaffi in his tent talked until dawn with Yasser Arafat in a basement in Tunisia and visited Carlos's old school chums in Venezuela and in quiet London neighborhoods. Tracking the Jackal is a real-life story about the world that Frederick Forsyth John le Carre and Tom Clancy turn into fiction - a world that runs on intrigue and deception with governments and security forces operating outside their own laws when they see fit. Carlos himself turns out to be almost a mythical creation of that world employed by various sinister forces for their own purposes. Tracking the Jackal reads like a thriller but it is a major work of investigative reporting that reveals a complex web of political corruption and betrayal. Quantity Available: 1.

Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. When Tig hague kissed goodbye to his girlfriend Lucy he was already thinking of his return. The couple were going house-hunting looking for their first home together. Tig was only going to be away for a few days on a routine business trip - the annual highlight of an otherwise unglamourous job working on the Russian desk of a London bank. But just hours later something went wrong at Moscow airport. Very wrong. Misunderstanding a request from customs for a backhander to speed his progress into the country Tig was pulled to one side to have his bag searched. A deliberate inconvenience he thought. But Tig's world was about to implode with dizzying terrifying speed. A tiny lump of hashish nothing more than detritus from a recent stag weekend was discovered in the pocket of an old pair of jeans. Too small to warrant anything more than a slapped wrist back home he hadn't even known it was there. Tig was in Moscow's notorious Piet Central jail by nightfall - and that was just a stepping stone on his way to prison camp Zone 22 in the bleak remote wastes of Mordovia. He wouldn't be returning home for years. Zone 22 is the shocking story of a young Englishman's struggle to survive the brutal corrupt almost medieval conditions of a prison camp in Putin's Russia - a gripping contemporary story in the tradition of Papillion and Midnight Express.

Arthur J. Magida
The Rabbi and the Hit Man : A True Tale of Murder Passion and the Shattered Faith of a Congregation
Harper Collins USA 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/New. 295 pages. Remainder mark. On the evening of November 1 1994 Rabbi Fred Neulander returned home to find his wife Carol facedown on the living room floor blood everywhere. He called for help but it was too late. Two trials and eight years later the founder of what had become the largest reform synagogue in southern New Jersey was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The Rabbi and the Hit Man is a fascinating true-crime narrative about the first rabbi ever convicted of murder. In a gripping examination of the misuses of the pulpit and the self-delusions of power Arthur J. Magida paints a devastating portrait of a manipulative man who used his temple as a place to acquire several mistresses - and to befriend a lonely recovering alcoholic whom he convinced to kill his wife "for the good of Israel." The Rabbi and the Hit Manstraddles the juncture between faith and trust and confronts issues of sex narcissism arrogance and adultery. At its core are such troubling questions as: Why do we often deify clergy and what are the consequences when they betray us What happens when religious leaders who set the standards of ethical behavior fail to abide by them in their personal lives - and instead contribute to the decline of morality in modern America This is the definitive account of a charismatic clergyman who paid the ultimate price for ignoring his own words of wisdom: "We live at any moment with our total past; . . . What we do will stay with us forever." Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0066210674. ISBN/EAN: 9780066210674. Inventory No: 09090262. 9780066210674 Harper Collins hardcover

Doubleday USA 1998. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 204 pages. This book is the story of a survivor. It is the story of a remarkable young woman who did not allow herself to be a victim but became a survivor.

This is a story of God's love and grace and a lesson of life.Little Girl Lost is her story's title but the story of her life should be called 'Little Girl Triumphant.'"--From the Foreword by Nicky CruzThe events of Leisha Joseph's life are sensational but the deeper story lies in her relationship to God and in what she can now teach others who suffer from the fear and hurt that result from violence and trauma.As the treasured only daughter of an upper-middle-class family Leisha as well as her brothers enjoyed a happy childhood. When she was eight years old all this changed abruptly with the death of her father. The strain on her mother manifested itself in wild behavior. In between frequent stays in private mental hospitals she brought home a string of boyfriends some of whom preferred children and made their way to Leisha's bed. After trying to burn down the house and chasing Leisha with a kitchen knife her mother was confined to the state mental hospital. While friends and family lent a hand it was largely up to Leisha and her brothers to keep the family intact.Sadly Leisha experienced the pain of isolation because of her family situation. She found God as a teenager but that comfort did not last long. Leisha became disillusioned with Christianity and began taking drugs until an overdose had her on her knees promising to serve God all her life if He saved her. She was sober in an instant and has kept her promise.Just when she had managed to turn her life around and was a finalist in the Miss Teen USA pageant recently graduated with honors from high school and engaged to marry a godly young man Leisha experienced an attack at the hands of a serial rapist. Yet God intervened once more giving her the words that would save her life and would eventually cause her attacker to confess in court. Even when he escaped and came after her as he had threatened to do Leisha refused to let fear dominate her life. She rejected the advice of the Witness Protection Program instead relying on God's saving hands. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0385492391. ISBN/EAN: 9780385492393.

Spine is uncreased. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. Most people presume that the legal system works pretty well at dispensing justice. As a community we tend to believe that the fairness rigour and democratic principles inherent in our justice system mean that the presumption of innocence is protected that only the truly guilty are sent to prison. But that is not always the case. Drawing on painstaking research and insightful analysis "A State of Injustice" examines various cases where forensic investigations were later found to be flawed. These cases have prompted calls for the establishment of a Criminal Cases Review Commission and raised doubts about the involvement of the former Chief of Forensic Pathology for South Australia Dr Colin Manock whose qualifications for the job have come into question. In view of the errors brought to light author Robert Moles asks - have innocent people been wrongly imprisoned and have guilty parties literally gotten away with murder Quantity Available: 12.
