Detective Files

Patrick B: Detective Files #7

Detective Files #7

A crime may last only minutes. The search for the truth can continue for decades.
Behind every famous investigation are the details that headlines leave behind: the overlooked witness, the unexplained movement, the piece of evidence that refuses to fit and the decision that sends detectives down an entirely different path.
Detective Files #2 returns to the files for four compelling true-crime investigations in which nothing is quite as straightforward as it first appears.
Following the evidence from the crime scene through the police investigation and beyond, these accounts examine not only what happened, but how detectives attempted to discover why-and whether the conclusions reached at the time still withstand scrutiny.
There are suspects who seemed certain to be guilty, clues that promised answers but produced only more questions, and mysteries that survived long after the original investigators had gone.
No invented conversations. No convenient rewriting of history. Just the people, the evidence and the questions that remained.
Open the files. Examine the evidence. Decide for yourself.

Detective Files #2

DETECTIVE FILES #1
Five crimes. Five extraordinary investigations. And five stories in which the truth proved far stranger than fiction.
A young woman is found brutally murdered in Los Angeles, beginning one of America's most enduring murder mysteries.
On an isolated German farm, an entire family is slaughtered-yet disturbing evidence suggests the killer may have remained at the property afterwards.
In a quiet Iowa town, eight people are murdered as they sleep, leaving behind a crime scene that would haunt investigators for generations.
A well-dressed stranger is discovered dead on an Australian beach with no identification and a cryptic clue hidden among his possessions.
And in The Vagabond and the Magistrate, another remarkable investigation demonstrates how easily an apparently straightforward crime can become something far more complicated.
Detective Files #1 opens the files on The Black Dahlia, Hinterkaifeck, the Villisca Axe Murders, the Somerton Man and The Vagabond and the Magistrate, examining the victims, suspects, detectives and evidence behind five fascinating true-crime cases.
Some produced suspects but no conviction. Some remained mysteries for decades. Others contain clues whose significance is still argued over today.
There are no invented conversations and no attempt to turn speculation into fact. Instead, the evidence is laid out as the investigators encountered it, allowing you to follow the trail and reach your own conclusions.
The crime has already happened.
The evidence is waiting.
Now open the file.

Desperate women. Poisonous solutions. At the turn of the 20th century, the women of Nagyrév, Hungary, were in trouble. Their stories were hauntingly similar: husbands who drank, who beat them, who made their lives unbearable.The village midwife - their confidante - offered an answer: arsenic. Soon, women began slipping poison into their husbands' brandy, porridge, and stews. Over the next twenty years, the quiet village became the epicentre of one of the deadliest series of poisonings in modern history.In The Women Are Not Fine, journalist Hope Reese pieces together archival newspapers, court documents, police records and more to uncover the truth behind this extraordinary case. Her findings serve as a stark warning: when women are pushed to the brink, the consequences can reverberate through history.

The Secrets She Keeps

** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ** WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026 **The gripping true story of a serial con man whose lies condemned a man to death row.'Incendiary, emotionally devastating. [This] is a feat of dogged reporting, bravura storytelling, and clear-eyed moral conscience.' -Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Say Nothing and London Falling'Not your typical true crime book... engrossing [and] important.' -New York TimesFor more than three decades, Paul Skalnik roamed the southern states of America lying about who he was. He passed himself off as a fighter pilot, a high-rolling oilman, a criminal defense attorney, an undercover agent, and a terminal cancer patient. In these guises he married nine women - some at the same time - and scammed them out of their money.When Skalnik got caught, as he invariably did, he would run a different con. Locked up with other men awaiting trial, he claimed they confessed their crimes to him. Then he peddled those stories to prosecutors. In Florida, he became a frequent witness for the state, thinking nothing of exaggerating men's wrongdoing or implicating the innocent to help prosecutors win convictions. In return, the state rewarded him with his freedom, fueling his growing sense of invincibility. Soon he was not just committing fraud; he was preying on girls in their teens or barely into adolescence. In 1985, Jim Dailey, a down-on-his-luck Vietnam veteran, was implicated in the murder of a 14-year-old girl and landed in jail with Skalnik. Despite a total lack of forensic evidence, Skalnik's account of Dailey's "confession" was enough to put Dailey on death row where he still waits, four decades later. In this mesmerizing debut, Pamela Colloff spins a dark tale of a remorseless and brilliant liar made lethal by a system more concerned with winning convictions than finding the truth.'Unfolding in cinematic detail, Catch the Devil offers a riveting and disturbing account of the potentially fatal consequences of a criminal legal system that is more concerned with securing convictions than delivering justice.' -NPR

A True Story of Murder, Deception and Injustice in the American South: 'A feat of storytelling' – Patrick Radden Keefe

Catch the Devil

Applied Criminology across the Globe

Unique in its approach, Policing Sex Crimes probes the investigations of sex crimes from the perspectives of investigators.

Policing Sex Crimes

A leading criminologist draws on over 30 years' experience working with sex offenders to propose a new way of understanding sexual crimes The prevalence of sex crimes has become one of the most urgent, and most widely misunderstood, subjects of our times. We are living through a sea change in our attitudes to sex crimes, yet we continue to get things badly wrong in the way we respond to them. Drawing on over 30 years' experience, Patrick Tidmarsh argues that we need to find a new way to understand, investigate and talk about these crimes. He forces us all to question our own prejudices and assumptions - about both victims and perpetrators - and to question the social, criminal and judicial systems that mean that so few of these crimes ever end in convictions. Patrick Tidmarsh trains and lectures all over the world, helping police and other professionals to understand sexual offending, and to improve their responses to both victims and offenders. With calm authority and sensitivity, he sets out what has gone wrong, and proposes a ground-breaking new solution.

Investigating Sexual Crime – Truth, Lies and the Path to Justice

The Whole Story

The women in Nagyre¿v are desperate. They are suffering. ` They are being abused by their husbands. They are feeding their newborns to livestock. Midwife Zsuzsanna Fazekas first arrived at the village of Nagyre¿v, Hungary in 1911 to assist the impoverished women with abortions. She offered them a solution: arsenic, made of kitchen larder flypaper boiled with vinegar. But when they told her of the violence they suffered at the hands of their husbands, she concluded, "Why put up with them?" Nearly twenty years later, it had become an epidemic and spiralled into the greatest mass poisoning event of the 20th century. But it wasn't murder of their unborn children. It was the murder of their husbands. In THE WOMEN ARE NOT FINE we follow these women to the noose.

Advanced Forensic Science Series

Professional Issues in Forensic Science will introduce students to various topics they will encounter within the field of Forensic Science. Legal implications within the field will focus on expert witness testimony and procedural rules defined by both legislative statute and court decisions. These decisions affect the collection, analysis, and court admissibility of scientific evidence, such as the Frye and Daubert standards and the Federal Rules of Evidence. Existing and pending Forensic Science legislation will be covered, including laws governing state and national DNA databases. Ethical concerns stemming from the day-to-day balancing of competing priorities encountered by the forensic student will be discussed. Such competing priorities may cause conflicts between good scientific practice and the need to expedite work, meet legal requirements, and satisfy client's wishes. The role of individual morality in Forensic Science and competing ethical standards between state and defense experts will be addressed. Examinations of ethical guidelines issued by various professional forensic organizations will be conducted. Students will be presented with examples of ethical dilemmas for comment and resolution. The management of crime laboratories will provide discussion on quality assurance/quality control practices and the standards required by the accreditation of laboratories and those proposed by Scientific Working Groups in Forensic Science. The national Academy of Sciences report on Strengthening Forensic Science will be examined to determine the impact of the field. . Professional Issues in Forensic Science is a core topic taught in forensic science programs. This volume will be an essential advanced text for academics and an excellent reference for the newly practicing forensic scientist. It will also fit strategically and cluster well with our other forensic science titles addressing professional issues.

Professional Issues in Forensic Science

This book provides a highly readable introduction to the role and function of the police and policing, examining the issues and debates that surround this. It looks at the 'core functions' of the police, the ways in which police functions have developed, their key characteristics, and the challenges they face. From the outset questions are asked about the conceptual contestability and ambiguity of policing, and different views of police roles are addressed in turn: policing as social control, crime investigation, managing risk, policing as community justice, and as a public good.

Policing: An introduction to concepts and practice

Ein Sportler, ein Hausarzt und ein Liebhaber - Mörder wie Oscar Pistorius, Harold Shipman und John Cannan haben gezeigt, dass in jedem Menschen ein psychopathischer Killer stecken kann. Der weltbekannte britische Kriminologe Christopher Berry-Dee hat zehn inhaftierte Psychopathen, darunter auch berüchtigte Serienmörder, zu ihren Motiven befragt. In diesem Buch beschreibt er jeweils ihre ganz besonderen Eigenschaften - wie etwa ihr Charisma sowie ihre Emotions- und Reuelosigkeit -, und wie sich diese zu einer absolut tödlichen Mischung entwickeln konnten. Denn nicht umsonst gelten sie als die erbarmungslosesten und gefährlichsten Killer der Welt.
