Black River

The Vampire Diaries meets Shatter Me in a mystical new YA series that blends fantasy, sci-fi and romance.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Cottle R: Black River: Volume 1 / B

Black River: Volume 1

America's Hometown has a dark side.
And the truth has been hidden in plain sight.

Hannibal, Missouri, is known around the world as the boyhood home of Mark Twain, a picturesque river town celebrated for its charm, history, and sense of American innocence. But beneath the postcards, museums, and storybook streets lies a far more unsettling legacy.

True Crime in America's Hometown uncovers the real crimes that shaped Hannibal in silence: brutal murders, unexplained deaths, disappearances that haunted families for generations, and scandals quietly erased from public memory. These are not legends or ghost stories. They are documented cases drawn from court records, newspaper archives, police reports, and firsthand accounts-many of which have never been fully examined until now.

From crimes that shocked the community to cases that were never solved, this book exposes how violence, deception, and injustice found their way into one of America's most beloved towns. Each chapter pulls the reader deeper into the shadows, revealing how tightly a community can hold its secrets, and what happens when the truth finally surfaces.

Written with the pace of modern true crime and the depth of historical investigation, True Crime in America's Hometown challenges the idea that evil only exists elsewhere. It proves that even the most charming places can harbor darkness-and that sometimes the most disturbing crimes are the ones closest to home.
Once you know these stories, you'll never see Hannibal the same way again.

Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem in Mark Twain's Childhood Hometown of Hannibal Missouri

Then an encounter with a violent, ruthless vampire boss leads her to find her creator. Drawn into a world of ancient vampires, deadly conspiracies and a dangerously seductive devil, Maria must find a way to fight for herself and all humankind.

"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again"Groucho Marx
In this entertaining collection of true stories from the past you will read about several murderers, one who killed in a blind rage, one who was honest, one who thought he was Billy the Kid and one who killed because of a cut on his thumb. You will meet bank robbers, faith healers, a priest who went underground, a mastermind who wasn't and his lawyer who was, a dancing princess, the Davy Crockett aficionado who was kidnapped and a teacher who was not, a pianist in need of a haircut and a guy who was told "you're going to need a bigger boat", and many more. All of them were simply...people. Some heroic, some tragic, some mysterious, some cruel, and some amusing (some intentionally and some not). In short, they were just humans trying to master that most difficult of human endeavours, surviving, some having greater success with it than others. But they were all interesting.And every individual you will meet from "Three-Fingered Louie" to the lady named "Woman of the Falling Snow" did (or do) exist and every story you will read is absolutely true. Keith Black, in his conversational style, will make you laugh and make you cry, but, most of all, you will be entertained. Enjoy!

Dunbridge Academy

Wo auch immer du bist, will ich ebenfalls sein ...

Hinter den altehrwürdigen Mauern der Dunbridge Academy zählt für Scarlett nur eines: die Regeln befolgen und besser abschneiden als ihre Mitschüler, schließlich hängt ihr Stipendium davon ab. Nichts leichter als das - wäre da nicht George, ihr überheblicher Erzfeind, der ihr den hart erarbeiteten Platz an der Spitze des Stufenrankings streitig macht und ihr Blut mit seinen besserwisserischen Lateinzitaten in Wallung bringt. Doch zwischen hitzigen Wortgefechten und nächtlichen Begegnungen in der Bibliothek wecken rätselhafte Risse in Georges makelloser Fassade ihre Neugier - und verbotene Gefühle, gegen die Scarlett bald schon machtlos ist ...

Der Auftakt zur Spin-off-Reihe um die neue Generation an der Dunbridge Academy von Spiegel-Bestseller-Autorin Sarah Sprinz


Dieses Buch gibt es in zwei Versionen: mit und ohne Motivfarbschnitt. Sobald die Farbschnitt-Ausgabe ausverkauft ist, liefern wir die Ausgabe ohne Farbschnitt aus.

Dunbridge Academy - Wherever

She shot her husband on a crowded Melbourne street.

Witnesses heard her shout, "I did it!"

Then she pleaded not guilty.

The case ignites the city. Newspapers circle. Society whispers. And inside the courtroom, two of Melbourne's fiercest legal minds go to war: a principled prosecutor chasing justice, and a flamboyant defence showman who plays to the gallery.

At the centre stands Kathleen Fraser: volatile, defiant, and impossible to ignore. Is she a cold-blooded killer? A woman dismissed as "hysterical" by her time? Or someone pushed beyond endurance in a world designed to silence her?

The Dangerous Wife resurrects a true crime murder trial that once gripped Australia. Now reconstructed in full from the original evidence. Court transcripts, depositions, private letters, shorthand notes, and hundreds of newspaper reports bring the testimony, contradictions, and turning points to life with the pace of a legal thriller.

What you'll get as a reader:

-A public shooting, a shocking confession, and a not-guilty plea that changes everything.
-A courtroom battle where strategy, reputation, and performance can decide a verdict.
-Evidence you can weigh for yourself, drawn from primary sources and contemporary reporting.

A vivid look at how class, gender, and public opinion shaped justice in Australia. Gripping, unsettling, and meticulously sourced, this is true crime for readers who want the law in action and a legal showdown where the stakes are life and death.

"A gripping true crime story told with the insight of a forensic legal mind." -Roy Maloy, true crime history

M. J. Checketts is the author of The Dangerous Wife: A True Legal Thriller, a meticulously researched and compelling narrative that resurrects one of Australia's most sensational courtroom battles. Drawing on his deep legal experience as a former senior partner of a major Australian law firm, he brings unmatched insight into the human drama and procedural intricacies of real-world justice.

Trained in England and based in Melbourne, Checketts spent his legal career advising on complex matters and now serves on several professional services boards. His writing blends crisp narrative pacing with the analytical precision of a seasoned lawyer, capturing both the emotional stakes and forensic detail that define high-profile trials. The Dangerous Wife is his first work of narrative non-fiction and reflects his commitment to telling true legal stories that engage, inform, and challenge readers.

A BRAND NEW must-read steamy small-town cowboy romance!

Fallen Willow

Das neue Standardwerk über Mafia, Syndikate, Gangs und KartelleDie organisierte Kriminalität ist ein weltweites Milliardengeschäft. Die internationalen Aktivitäten der Kartelle als Drogenhändler, Waffenschieber, Kapitalanlagebetrüger, als Geldwäscher oder Betreiber von Prostitutionsringen sind weitreichend. Von den zuständigen Behörden sind sie kaum zu fassen. Waren die kriminellen Machenschaften zunächst noch sehr lokal ausgerichtet, entwickelten sich nach dem 2. Weltkrieg neue Organisationen, und die Kartelle führen inzwischen ein globales kriminelles Geschäft, das Regierungsführung, Gesellschaft und Weltwirtschaft beeinflusst.Der renommierte Historiker Ryan Gingeras erforscht in Originalarchiven und Fachliteratur das Konstrukt Mafia von seinen Anfängen im 18. Jahrhundert bis heute. Er gibt einen umfassenden historischen Einblick in die Strukturen und Geschäftsfelder der organisierten Kriminalität: Wo und wann hatten ikonische Mafiagruppen - wie die Cosa Nostra, Medellin oder die Yukuza - ihre Ursprünge? Welche Bosse gibt es neben Jesse James, Al Capone und El Chapo noch? Wie sind die einzelnen Organisationen aufgebaut und auf welche Weise entwickelten sich aus ihnen zeitgenössische Verbrechersyndikate in Russland, Nigeria oder Albanien?Angesichts der Weiterentwicklung der Verbrechersyndikate im 21. Jahrhundert hebt Gingeras die alarmierende Verwischung der Grenzen zwischen Gangstern, Unternehmen und politischen Führern hervor - ein Trend, der die globale Ordnung zu destabilisieren droht.
