Solving the Unsolvable
By Gregg Benzon
Cold cases don't just haunt the families left behind-they haunt the investigators who could never close the file. In Solving the Unsolvable, veteran crime writer and journalist Gregg Benzon takes you deep inside forty of the most bizarre, twisted, and jaw-dropping real-life cases that refused to die.
From a parrot that repeats the words of a murder victim... to a GPS tracker hidden in a cat's collar... to the chilling confession that appeared on TikTok-these are crimes cracked not by luck, but by extraordinary evidence, relentless curiosity, and sometimes pure, strange coincidence.
You'll witness murderers unmasked by a single hair, fraudsters caught on Google Street View, and secrets buried for decades brought into the light by the smallest, most unlikely clues.
With the precision of an investigator and the storytelling of a seasoned journalist, Benzon pulls back the curtain on the cutting-edge forensics, digital breadcrumbs, and sheer human ingenuity that turn impossible mysteries into solved cases.
If you think you've heard it all... you haven't.
Perfect for fans of true crime, cold case investigations, and stories that prove reality is stranger than fiction.

Solving the Unsolvable

Raymond Boyd, a veteran private investigator, opens the case files of his storied career in Polygraphs and Paper Clip Bracelets. This follow-up to his popular memoir, God Bless Crime: It's Been Good to Me, delivers a captivating mix of real-life crime stories, humorous detective tales, and personal reflections. Boyd's approach to private investigation is anything but conventional, blending his love for laughter with his commitment to uncovering the truth.In one unforgettable story, Boyd recalls the antics of a smooth-talking con artist who thought he could outwit a seasoned detective. Using his polygraph expert skills, Boyd cleverly cornered the suspect, turning the tables in a way that left everyone-from the criminal to the courtroom-laughing. Another tale sees Boyd tackling a high-stakes case involving missing heirlooms, where his ability to read people and navigate complex family dynamics proves crucial. The case's resolution, both heartwarming and surprising, showcases Boyd's unique blend of humor and insight.Then there's the time Boyd dealt with "wee people"-an unusual case that tested not only his investigative skills but also his patience. The culprit wasn't a criminal mastermind but a kind-hearted woman convinced that tiny people were following her. With compassion and a touch of humor, Boyd crafted a creative solution that brought peace to his client while adding another entertaining chapter to his life story.Polygraphs and Paper Clip Bracelets isn't just about solving crimes; it's a celebration of the human spirit. Boyd's narrative is filled with detective career insights, personal investigator anecdotes, and the kind of humor that makes even the most serious topics accessible. His stories highlight the importance of resilience, whether it's outwitting a criminal or dealing with personal loss. As Boyd reflects on his life, including the impact of his beloved family and the loss of his wife, readers are reminded that behind every great detective is a story worth telling.For anyone who enjoys detective memoirs, crime confession tactics, or a good laugh, Polygraphs and Paper Clip Bracelets offers a compelling and heartfelt glimpse into the unpredictable world of private investigation.

A Private Investigator's Toast to the Crimes That Kept Him Thriving

Polygraphs and Paper Clip Bracelets

Nicht erst seit dem spektakulären Diebstahl Mitte Oktober 2025, bei dem Maskierte Schmuck von unschätzbarem Wert aus dem Pariser Louvre klauten, sind Diebe in aller Munde. Bereits ab Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts verbreiteten sich Geschichten von eleganten Draufgängern, von kaltblütigen Gangstern, die sich nahmen, was ihnen vorenthalten wurde, und von modernen Robin Hoods, die die Reichen bestahlen, um den Armen zu geben. Zu Letzteren zählte auch Alexandre Marius Jacob, der sich mit seiner Diebesbande, den 'Travailleurs de la nuit', die Umverteilung zur Aufgabe gemacht hatte - weniger durch revolutionäre, gesamtgesellschaftliche Enteignung als durch eine allnächtliche Abschöpfung von Werten. Der dabei zur Anwendung gebrachte Humor und Einfallsreichtum inspirierte angeblich sogar Maurice Leblanc zu seinem Meisterdieb Arsène Lupin. Er bewahrte Jacob jedoch nicht vor einer langjährigen Haftstrafe, während der er seine Erinnerungen niederschrieb. Mit einem Vorwort von Andreas Gehrlach und um weitere Texte ergänzt, gewähren diese Einblick in das illegale Milieu der 'Belle Epoque' und offenbaren zugleich das widerständige Denken eines Aufständischen, der seinen Überzeugungen bis zuletzt treu blieb.

Erinnerungen eines Aufständischen

Arbeiter der Nacht

Food and drink are supposed to belong to the safest parts of life.

A family dinner. A lunch break. A bedside drink. A holiday dessert. A glass raised in celebration.

In Crimes Where Food and Drink Masked Murder, James Hampstead examines 40 true-crime casefiles in which ordinary meals, drinks, and familiar rituals became the route to poisoning, betrayal, and death.

The cases span homes, cafés, workplaces, hotel rooms, neighborhoods, and public spaces. Some ended in convictions. Others remain debated, unresolved, or never brought to final judgment.

Again and again, the object at the center is something simple: cheesecake, tea, curry, soup, cocoa, champagne, coffee, wine, soft drinks, a child's bottle. The object is ordinary. The breach it represents is not.

Danger does not always arrive loudly. Sometimes it is plated. Sometimes it is poured. Sometimes it is passed across a table with a smile.

Why this book
Poisoning cases occupy a particular place in true crime. They often begin in ordinary settings, rely on trust rather than force, and leave behind questions of motive, access, timing, and proof. This collection brings together 40 casefiles in which food and drink became central to the crime, whether as method, cover, or point of suspicion.

Inside this collection40 true-crime casefiles centered on poisoning, betrayal, and murder

40 True-Crime Casefiles of Poisoning, Betrayal and Death

Crimes Where Food and Drink Masked Murder

What do you do when a Nebraska State trooper accuses you of sexual assault?

Brienne Splittgerber dreamed of following in her father's footsteps and becoming a criminal investigator for the Nebraska State Patrol. In the fall of 2014, at the age of thirty-four, the married mother of two finally got her chance when she was selected to join the Nebraska State Patrol's fifty-sixth recruitment camp.

One week into training, the aspiring investigator told five members in her chain of command about the boot camp physical examination she experienced six weeks earlier. A male physician, contracted by the patrol, asked her to expose her genitals and anus during the examination. There was no physical contact. She found it "weird." Splittgerber expected a criminal investigation to be started, but her supervisor, Captain Mark Williams, swept the whole thing under the rug. He knew how she was. And like everyone said, if there was a female chaperone present, then you're okay. Angry and embarrassed, Splittgerber stayed at boot camp and waited, but she wasn't the type to let things go.

A year later, in the fall of 2015, five days after Captain Mark William's funeral, Trooper Brienne Splittgerber set into motion a chain of events that would ultimately sabotage her own dream and wreak havoc on the lives of others.

Über Anziehung, Macht und die Psychologie zerstörerischer Beziehungen

Das Böse im Mann

A chill settles over Edwardian England as a young solicitor, the son of an English vicar and a Parsee mother, finds himself at the centre of a real life mystery that would grip the nation. In the shadow of the Staffordshire moors, a string of brutal animal mutilations leads to a police investigation whose flaws and prejudices soon threaten to destroy an innocent man. The true crime case that unfolds is not merely a puzzle of evidence and deduction, but a stark portrait of legal injustice and the dangers of a criminal justice system swayed by bias rather than fact. With the meticulous eye of a master storyteller, the author dissects the tangled web of suspicion, error, and institutional failure that led to one of the most notorious wrongful convictions in British legal history. What sets this account apart is its blend of forensic detail and human drama, capturing the anguish of a family besieged by suspicion and the tenacity of those who refused to let a miscarriage of justice stand unchallenged. The narrative moves with quiet intensity through the labyrinthine corridors of power and prejudice, illuminating the fragile line between law and injustice. The involvement of a celebrated literary figure in the investigation adds a layer of intrigue, as the case becomes a touchstone for debates about fairness, evidence, and the responsibilities of those entrusted with the truth. The story's resonance endures, not only as a historical crime but as a cautionary tale about the perils of flawed police investigation and the enduring need for vigilance in the face of legal injustice. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
