Strauss N: Everyone Is a Suspect

Everyone Is a Suspect

The Erasing of Elaine Park

"The disturbing true story of the notorious Cecil Hotel in downtown LA, by its general manager for a decade and star of the controversial Netflix documentary series Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel."--Publisher's description.

The disturbing true story of the notorious Cecil Hotel in downtown LA, by its general manager for a decade and star of the controversial Netflix documentary series&nbsp;Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. When Amy Price took a temporary design job at an&nbsp;Art Deco&nbsp;hotel in Los Angeles to help a friend, she had no idea the path it would lead her down. Before long, she would become manager of the Cecil Hotel, seeking to make it more welcoming and correct its notoriety, not helped by sitting at the foot of Skid Row, or the fact that since its opening in 1927, there had been any number of deaths by suicide, and residents such as serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger.She cared about guests and residents alike, though she faced challenges on many fronts, with over eighty people dying during her decade of service. Among them was Elisa Lam, whose tragic death became the subject of a Netflix documentary series that captivated millions and led to its own controversies and unwarranted personal attacks on Amy.For the first time, Amy delves into her experiences at the Cecil Hotel. Equal parts memoir, true-crime, and cultural history,&nbsp;Behind the Door&nbsp;is essential to understanding one of America’s most enigmatic hotels.

She had recently discovered that more than forty pounds of plutonium were missing from the Kerr-McGee plant.Fifty years later, her death is still steeped in mystery. Did she fall asleep before the accident, or did someone force her off the road? And what&nbsp;happened to the missing plutonium?&nbsp;The Killing of Karen Silkwood&nbsp;meticulously lays out the facts and encourages the readers to decide. Updated with new, vital information as well as the author’s chilling new introduction Silkwood’s story is as relevant today as it was fifty years ago.For this updated edition, the author has added the latest information as to what happened to the various people involved in the Silkwood case, given real names to people who heretofore could not be identified, and presented new angles on the lasting effects of this underreported piece of the history of the antinuclear movement.

A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders

When the Night Comes Falling

From T. J. English, the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Havana Nocturne, comes the epic, scintillating narrative of the interconnected worlds of jazz and organized crime in 20th&nbsp;century America."[A] brilliant and courageous book." —Dr. Cornel WestDangerous Rhythms&nbsp;tells the symbiotic story of jazz and the underworld: a relationship fostered in some of 20th century America’s most notorious vice districts. For the first half of the century mobsters and musicians enjoyed a mutually beneficial partnership. By offering artists like Louis Armstrong, Earl “Fatha” Hines, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, and Ella Fitzgerald a stage, the mob, including major players Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, and Charlie “Lucky” Luciano, provided opportunities that would not otherwise have existed.Even so, at the heart of this relationship was a festering racial inequity. The musicians were mostly African American, and the clubs and means of production were owned by white men. It was a glorified plantation system that, over time, would find itself out of tune with an emerging Civil Rights movement. Some artists, including Louis Armstrong, believed they were safer and more likely to be paid fairly if they worked in “protected” joints. Others believed that playing in venues outside mob rule would make it easier to have control over their careers.Through English’s voluminous research and keen narrative skills,&nbsp;Dangerous Rhythms&nbsp;reveals this deeply fascinating slice of American history in all its sordid glory.

Jazz and the Underworld

Dangerous Rhythms

The astonishing true story of the Scottish coal miner's daughter who took on the Mafia-endorsed creators of the world's biggest financial fraud and helped the FBI to convict them?soon to be a major motion picture.A teenaged mother, today a young grandmother, Jen McAdam was a victim of the OneCoin global crypto-currency fraud, which stole around $27 billion from ordinary people around the world. Unlike Madoff or Enron, who relieved the world's wealthiest investors of their cash, the exploiting genius of the OneCoin scam was targeting the poorest people in the world, the ?unbanked??those who struggled to live or get mainstream banking support. The fraudsters believed their victims couldn't and wouldn't fight back. They didn't reckon on Jen McAdam, a modern Erin Brockovich. Jen's father left her £10,000 when he died: his savings from living a careful life in a small Scottish mining town. Jen wanted a safe investment for this money to fund a better life for her and her son and his family.. She was digitally savvy, and she had heard of people making fortunes with Bitcoin. When she saw the promotional material for OneCoin?the founder Dr Ruja Ignatova featured in the Economist, videos of celebrity events, gushing video testimonials of people, just like her, who had changed their lives, she was entranced. Only months later, she realized she would never see her money again. Jen was the only victim worldwide to fight back. Despite terrifying attempts to shut down her and her growing support groups, she fought tirelessly for justice for herself, her family and friends, and the millions around the world who have lost everything, in some cases even their lives. This is a true David and Goliath story, to give us all a message of hope about the power we as individuals can have, even when things seem hopeless.

Devil's Coin

A Recommended Read from: The Los Angeles Times * Town and Country * The Seattle Times * Publishers Weekly * Lit Hub * Crime Reads * AlmaFrom the author of The Real Lolita and editor of Unspeakable Acts, the astonishing story of a murderer who conned the people around him?including conservative thinker William F. Buckley?into helping set him freeIn the 1960s, Edgar Smith, in prison and sentenced to death for the murder of teenager Victoria Zielinski, struck up a correspondence with William F. Buckley, the founder of National Review. Buckley, who refused to believe that a man who supported the neoconservative movement could have committed such a heinous crime, began to advocate not only for Smith's life to be spared but also for his sentence to be overturned.So begins a bizarre and tragic tale of mid-century America. Sarah Weinman's Scoundrel leads us through the twists of fate and fortune that brought Smith to freedom, book deals, fame, and eventually to attempting murder again. In Smith, Weinman has uncovered a psychopath who slipped his way into public acclaim and acceptance before crashing down to earth once again.From the people Smith deceived?Buckley, the book editor who published his work, friends from back home, and the women who loved him?to Americans who were willing to buy into his lies, Weinman explores who in our world is accorded innocence, and how the public becomes complicit in the stories we tell one another.Scoundrel shows, with clear eyes and sympathy for all those who entered Smith's orbit, how and why he was able to manipulate, obfuscate, and make a mockery of both well-meaning people and the American criminal justice system. It tells a forgotten part of American history at the nexus of justice, prison reform, and civil rights, and exposes how one man's ill-conceived plan to set another man free came at the great expense of Edgar Smith's victims.

"The shocking true-crime story of a U.S. Border Patrol agent turned serial killer, the four sex workers whom he mercilessly killed, and the upended border town of Laredo where his heinous crimes occurred."--

“A thrilling ticktock on the borderland slayings and the effort to solve them."—Texas Monthly&nbsp;The shocking true-crime story of a U.S. Border Patrol agent turned serial killer, the four sex workers whom he mercilessly killed, and the upended border town of Laredo where his heinous crimes occurred.Twelve days is all it took.Melissa Ramirez, Claudine Anne Luera, Guiselda Hernandez, and Janelle Ortiz were four marginalized women striving to make ends meet as sex workers. They looked out for one another. But they would soon share a connection that none of them could have imagined. When Melissa was found dead, the other three women were on edge but assumed they were safe. Twelve days later, they too were dead and police had detained an unlikely suspect—Juan David Ortiz, a ten-year veteran of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he carried a badge, a service revolver, and was entrusted to protect the community in which he eventually killed. From September 3 through September 15, 2018, Ortiz, a husband and doting father to three children, lured his victims into his white Dodge truck and drove them to the outskirts of town where he violently executed them, leaving them dead or dying on the sides of dark, rural roads.In this fast-paced, electrifying tick-tock, Pulitzer Prize–winning USA TODAY journalist Rick Jervis tells the gripping story of the four murders that shook the small border town of Laredo, and the quest to unmask a cold, calculated killer who was hiding in plain sight.&nbsp;The Devil Behind the Badge&nbsp;is also a deeply human portrait of the four lives lost and an attempt to uncover what motivated Ortiz’s descent into darkness. Along the way, it raises serious questions about the border crisis, the abuse of law enforcement, and the challenges of a federal agency to police its own ranks.

The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer

Manhunt

The Angel Makers is a true-crime story like no other?a 1920s midwife who may have been the century's most prolific killer leading a murder ring of women responsible for the deaths of at least 160 men. The horror occurred in a rustic farming enclave in modern-day Hungary. To look at the unlikely lineup of murderesses?village wives, mothers, and daughters?was to come to the shocking realization that this could have happened anywhere, and to anyone. At the center of it all was a sharp-minded village midwife, a ?smiling Buddha? known as Auntie Suzy, who distilled arsenic from flypaper and distributed it to the women of Nagyrév. ?Why are you bothering with him?? Auntie Suzy would ask, as she produced an arsenic-filled vial from her apron pocket. In the beginning, a great many used the deadly solution to finally be free of cruel and abusive spouses.But as the number of dead bodies grew without consequence, the killers grew bolder. With each vial of poison emptied, a new reason surfaced to drain yet another. Some women disposed of sickly relatives. Some used arsenic as ?inheritance powder? to secure land and houses. For more than fifteen years, the unlikely murderers aided death unfettered and tended to it as if it were simply another chore?spooning doses of arsenic into soup and wine, stirring it into coffee and brandy. By the time their crimes were discovered, hundreds were feared dead.Anonymous notes brought the crimes to light in 1929. As a skillful prosecutor hungry for justice ran the investigation, newsmen from around the world?including the New York Times?poured in to cover the dramatic events as they unfolded.The Angel Makers captures in expertly researched detail the entirety of this harrowing story, from the early murders to the final hanging?the story of one of the most sensational and astonishing murder rings in all of modern history.

A fascinating book and an important one.”—Washington Post“A brilliant, kaleidoscopic debut. . . . A showstopper.”—Publishers Weekly, starred reviewA powerful work of reportage and American history that braids the story of the forced removal of Native Americans onto treaty lands in the nation’s earliest days, and a small-town murder in the 1990s that led to a Supreme Court ruling reaffirming Native rights to that land more than a century later.Before 2020, American Indian reservations made up roughly 55 million acres of land in the United States. Nearly 200 million acres are reserved for National Forests—in the emergence of this great nation, our government set aside more land for trees than for Indigenous peoples.In the 1830s Muscogee people were rounded up by the US military at gunpoint and forced into exile halfway across the continent. At the time, they were promised this new land would be theirs for as long as the grass grew and the waters ran. But that promise was not kept. When Oklahoma was created on top of Muscogee land, the new state claimed their reservation no longer existed. Over a century later, a Muscogee citizen was sentenced to death for murdering another Muscogee citizen on tribal land. His defense attorneys argued the murder occurred on the reservation of his tribe, and therefore Oklahoma didn’t have the jurisdiction to execute him. Oklahoma asserted that the reservation no longer existed. In the summer of 2020, the Supreme Court settled the dispute. Its ruling that would ultimately underpin multiple reservations covering almost half the land in Oklahoma, including Nagle’s own Cherokee Nation.&nbsp;Here Rebecca Nagle recounts the generations-long fight for tribal land and sovereignty in eastern Oklahoma. By chronicling both the contemporary legal battle and historic acts of Indigenous resistance, By the Fire We Carry stands as a landmark work of American history. The story it tells exposes both the wrongs that our nation has committed and the Native-led battle for justice that has shaped our country.&nbsp;
