Clingman W: Dark Minds, Bloody Hands

Dark Minds, Bloody Hands

A Look at Atypical Serial Killers

Step into some of the most heinous (yet relatively unknown) crimes ever committed and delve into twelve twisted tales of murder in Unbelievable Crimes.


From the deplorable abduction and imprisonment of young women by James Jamelske, who kept his victims in his basement, to the tale of charismatic charmer Charles Schmid who boasted about his savage murders, each story in this anthology dives into pure evil.


In one case, I'll take you back to 1993, to the city of Houston, where two teenage girls, Jennifer Ertman, and Elizabeth Peña, were brutally raped and murdered. This crime can only be described as barbaric and senseless, especially when you factor in the young ages of the killers.


I'll delve into the bizarre and twisted story of Carl Tanzler, a man who becomes fixated on a beautiful young woman. After her untimely death, he kept her as a mummified corpse in his home for years, with a genuinely inexplicable outcome.


You'll also be introduced to the gruesome story of Omaima Nelson, an Egyptian-American woman who killed her husband before cooking and eating parts of his body.


While most people know about the incomprehensible acts of Ted Bundy or the wicked crimes of the "killer clown" John Wayne Gacy, there's an underbelly of true crime that has been left untouched over the years. These crimes had a fleeting news story or a 30-second snippet on a local news station and have since been long forgotten. I believe we should remember these crimes to ensure the victims - and their ordeals - don't get wiped from true crime history.


Discover the dark side of humanity as I delve into some of the most shocking and twisted little-known true crime stories in Unbelievable Crimes Volume One. To most, the senseless acts of violence and pure evil depicted in these cases are simply unimaginable. But, they're all somebody's reality.


Please note, as with all true crime content, this book contains details that cover real-life murders and violence.

Macabre Yet Unknown True Crime Stories

Unbelievable Crimes Volume One

For these men and women, it isn't just a job. It's a calling. PROTECT They are our eyes. Our ears. Our protectors. Those who wear a badge, doing their best to help people. SERVE These cops serve their communities. They serve their country. They're in the business of saving lives-even at the risk of their own. DEFEND These patrol officers and K9 handlers, sheriffs and detectives reveal what it's really like to wear the uniform, to carry the weight of the responsibility they've been given. American Cops is the extraordinary first-person account of America's police force. _____________________________ Praise for James Patterson 'The master storyteller of our times' Hillary Rodham Clinton 'James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged' Steve Berry 'No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent' Lee Child 'Nobody does it better' Jeffrey Deaver 'James Patterson is The Boss. End of.' Ian Rankin

True stories from the front line

American Cops

Explore the chilling stories of humanity's most sinister individuals in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Four.


I'll uncover hidden horrors of recent history, walking you through a haunting lineup of lesser-known crimes. I've scoured the dark and disturbing archives of true crime to present an anthology of cases that even the most informed crime followers may not have encountered before. I'll cover the hard-to-hear but little-covered tales that have somehow evaded the headlines: from murder to kidnapping to senseless acts of violence, Volume Four covers some truly horrific tales.


I'll unravel the grisly story of a seemingly ordinary (aren't they always?) individual who carried out monstrous acts of depravity. His acts were so violent and senseless, you'll find yourself wondering how people like this become so monstrous. His dark desires would lead to a series of terrible acts that saw the criminal get away with his crimes - until he decided to taunt the police. Would his overconfidence be his downfall?


You'll learn about the twisted tale of a woman whose desperation for motherhood led her down a path of wicked deception and murder. The culprit in this case made herself appear pregnant, showed friends and family fake ultrasounds and went as far as having a gender reveal party for the baby she wasn't having. This tragic tale culminates in a truly barbaric and gruesome crime pulled straight out of a nightmare.


Follow the story of Sarah Stern, a young woman whose life was cut short by the unimaginable betrayal of a friend she trusted. The search for justice would unearth a series of chilling revelations and deceitful schemes that led to her untimely and horrifying end. To her attackers, Sarah's life was worth a mere few thousand dollars.


Explore the deranged tale of a young man whose violent and brutal crimes show complete and utter disregard for human life - even the lives of those closest to him. Unbelievably, this criminal carried out one of his brutal attacks while on bail - for another murder he'd been detained for.


I'll also cover the harrowing and frustrating ordeal of a kidnapping victim who endured unimaginable abuse and torment at the hands of her sadistic captor. In a true crime rarity, the victim would survive her nightmare, and her resilience and strength would see her pursue justice relentlessly. But would her efforts to bring her tormentor to justice be in vain?


Get to know these chilling cases along with other lesser-known crimes in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Four. As with each book in this series, I delve deep into the darkest areas of humanity, recounting real-life cases of murder, violence, and unspeakable cruelty humans have carried out on one another. Keep this in mind before immersing yourself in these stories.

Unbelievable Crimes Volume Four

Gripping, suspenseful, and layered with insight, this is the first full account of the infamous disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley while onboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean—from the acclaimed author of True Crime Addict. In March 1998, the Bradley family—Ron, Iva, and their children, Amy and Brad—boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas for a week-long Caribbean cruise. The trip was a chance to celebrate Ron’s success at work and Amy’s college graduation. In the early hours of March 24, Amy Bradley—a pretty, athletic 23-year-old—returned to the family’s stateroom with Brad after dancing at the ship’s nightclub. Amy grabbed a blanket and went out to sleep on the balcony. A few hours later, her father awoke to find her gone. What happened to her remains a mystery. Did Amy fall or jump into the water? Did she leave the boat voluntarily when it docked at Curaçao that morning? Was she smuggled off against her will and trafficked in one of the island’s brothels?&nbsp; In a baffling case filled with false leads, rumors, and conflicting witness reports, the only certainty is that, nearly three decades later, the Bradleys are still looking for Amy. Now, acclaimed investigative journalist James Renner provides the first definitive account of Amy’s disappearance, enriched with his own personal narrative that explores themes of identity, loss, and the deeply human need to find meaning in tragedy. With empathy and a keen eye, Renner interviews witnesses who speak on record for the first time, offering fascinating new theories, and explores a little-known side of Amy’s life that may explain everything about her fate.

My Search for Amy Lynn Bradley

A Cruise to Nowhere

Law and Criminology (R0)

&lt;p&gt;This book addresses a variety of key&amp;nbsp;issues surrounding mental health and the criminalization of certain individuals and groups by the Criminal Justice System and the impact this can have on their mental health. It&amp;nbsp;challenges the assumption that people with mental health problems are in some way a risk or danger to society (and themselves) and therefore have a greater propensity for committing crimes, when in reality they are more likely to become the victims of crime. It argues that the misguided correlations drawn between mental health and crime, as perpetuated by the media, policy makers, clinicians, agents of the criminal justice system, and ultimately the public, lead to the criminalization of the vulnerable. Furthermore,&amp;nbsp;the criminalization, stigmatization, stereotyping, labelling and discrimination endured by people with mental health problems has a devastating effect on their mental health and well-being and has negative consequences for society as a whole.&amp;nbsp;Each chapter focuses on a specific area relating to mental health, identifying key themes and issues, as well as offering recommendations for improvements with regards to the treatment and support for people with mental health problems. In addition, the treatment of offenders with mental health problems who engage with the criminal justice system and its services, such as the police, prison and probation services, is critically evaluated.&lt;/p&gt;

Come with me to investigate some of the most unnerving tales of human wickedness in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five.


In the fifth installment of the series, I'll take you deep into the shadows of true crime history to uncover a new selection of shocking crimes you may not have heard of before. From deranged kidnappings to murderous teenage gangs, this volume of Unbelievable Crimes will cover some truly twisted tales from truly wicked people.


Discover the crimes of a master manipulator and cold-blooded killer who acted like an upstanding member of his community in Mesa, Arizona. When his horrific crimes came to light, no one could believe he was capable of such cruelty - but irrefutable DNA evidence proved otherwise.


Retrace the harrowing saga of the Gallegos, a married couple who just so happened to be dangerous predators. The sadistic duo prowled the streets of California in the late 70s, searching for young victims to lure into their van before carrying out their depraved desires.


I'll cover the story behind the murder of Danielle Jones, a young life cut short in England in 2001. Sadly, her body was never found, but in an unusual twist, the case was cracked by analysis of text messages sent by the killer.


Explore the tale of Armin Meiwes, a German man who craved human flesh. Not only did Armin act upon his macabre desire, but he also found a victim who was willing to be eaten. His twisted appetite would be satisfied - but a man would die in the process.


Learn about a case so callous it defies belief: a British mother who killed her children in a sick act of filicide. Why? Because they got in the way of her dating life.


Get to know about the devastating murder of a young girl whose killer escaped justice for over three decades. In the early 90s, Nikki Allan was horrifically and senselessly killed, and for years it seemed like her murderer would never be brought to justice. A new phenomenon of true crime sees historic crimes getting solved with new DNA capabilities. Therefore, criminals from years ago are now being brought to justice - this is one such case.


Uncover these cases, as well as six more stories in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five. Just like the previous books in this series, I do my best to ensure the victims' suffering is remembered and the shameful actions of the criminals are highlighted. As with all the installments of this series, I'll examine the darkest depths of human malice.


I recount real-life cases of murder, violence, and unimaginable cruelty. Please bear this in mind before reading.

In this volume, I'll cover a shocking case that took place in Iowa in 2012. A young boy decided to murder his mother - for taking away his video game.


I'll also tell the story of a teenage girl tortured to death by a sadistic family. It is a tragic case that is as heartbreaking as it is infuriating.
Then there's the case of a man who sought revenge on the person who had abused his son for over a year. This story will have you questioning your thoughts on vigilante justice.


Learn more about these crimes, as well as other lesser-known cases, in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Eight.


Please bear in mind that this book describes real-life accounts of violence, assaults of a sexual nature, and murder. For those new to the series, the premise is that I cover true tales that evaded headline news (for the most part) despite the barbarity of the crime.

The Little Book of Cults

Der Tod kann uns ganz nah sein. Doch wir ahnen nichts davon. Wir wissen
nicht, dass uns im nächsten Moment eine Kugel treffen oder ein Lkw in 
eine Menschenmenge gelenkt wird, ein Täter uns nach dem Leben trachtet.
Rechtsmediziner Klaus Püschel und Gerichtsreporterin Bettina Mittelacher
greifen aus ihrem tiefen Fundus einerseits spektakuläre Fälle auf, die
Polizei, Justiz und Öffentlichkeit intensiv beschäftigen. Darunter zum Beispiel
ein abgründiger Dreifachmord, bei dem eine ganze Familie ausgelöscht
wird, sowie das geheimnisvolle Verschwinden einer Mallorquinerin und einen
Mordauftrag im Darknet.
Andererseits zeigen sie, wie akribisch Rechtsmediziner jeden Einzelfall von
Körperverletzung und Tod analysieren, dokumentieren und kombinieren -
unter Einsatz modernster Technik. Sie suchen nach der Wahrheit, wenn
Unschuldige im Gefängnis sitzen, um neue Beweise zu finden. Wie zum Beispiel
im Fall von Manfred Genditzki, der fast 14 Jahre lang in Haft war, bis er
endlich auf freien Fuß kam. Es geht nicht nur um die Obduktion. Es
geht um Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit.
Der Tod geht über Leichen. Aber der Tod steht nur am Anfang. Am Ende geht
es um die bestmögliche Aufklärung.

Faszinierende Fälle aus der Rechtsmedizin

Food to Die For

FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE "A murder mystery, travelogue, and deeply felt homage to Romig's adopted country. Reading it will inform and outrage you. (It will also make you crave a dosa)."—Suketu Mehta, author of Maximum City “Romig makes for a powerful, effective chronicler of this bleak moment in Indian politics.”—The New York Times A gripping investigation into the mysterious assassination of a journalist in India, revealing the courage and vulnerability of those who are fighting the decline of democracy around the world When Gauri Lankesh, an outspoken journalist in the South Indian city of Bangalore, was assassinated in September 2017 outside her home, it wasn’t just a loss to her close-knit community of writers and activists—the shock reverberated nationwide, making headlines and sparking mass protests. Why was she targeted, and who was behind it? Following the case to its stunning, unsettling conclusion, Rollo Romig uncovers a world of political extremists, fearless writers, organized crime, and shadowy religious groups. I Am on the Hit List is an epic narrative that moves between a historic booksellers' district and brand-new high rises funded by IT wealth, to a secretive ashram in Goa and the kitchens of an international vegetarian restaurant chain, boldly interrogating whether we can break the cycle of polarization and bloodshed inspiring political murder across the globe.
