One Man's Journey Into Darkness, and The Way Home

Tradd Street Press

My Experience at Scotland Yard

“A stunning job of reporting.”—&nbsp;New York Times Book ReviewUpdated with new content, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jess Walter’s classic work that chronicles the 1992 confrontation at Ruby Ridge between Randy Weaver and federal law enforcement—a tragic eleven-day siege that became a symbol of government overreach and fueled the rise of America’s radical right.On the last hot day of summer in 1992, gunfire cracked over a rocky knob in northern Idaho, just south of the Canadian border. By the next day three people were dead, and a small war was joined, pitting the full might of federal law enforcement against one well-armed family. Drawing on thousands of pages of documents and extensive interviews with members of Randy Weaver’s family, government insiders, and others, Jess Walter traces the paths that led the Weavers to their confrontation with federal agents and led the government to take extreme and unprecedented measures. But as the past thirty years has shown, the standoff at Ruby Ridge would not be an isolated incident.This is the story of what happened there: the tragic and unlikely series of events that destroyed a family, ended FBI careers, and left a nation increasingly attuned to the dangers of unchecked federal power. It is also the story of the racism, religious zealotry, paranoia, fierce hatred of government, and violence that has become increasingly visible across American society.

The Truth and Tragedy of the Randy Weaver Family

Ruby Ridge

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER Hank Idsinga, whose grandfather was murdered in the Holocaust, became the country’s leading homicide detective; he shares his insights into tracking down murderers and serial killers over his colourful and decorated thirty-year career. From the age of ten, Hank Idsinga knew he wanted to become a homicide detective, when he learned that his grandfather had been murdered by the Nazis in the Second World War. He prepared to be a police officer his entire youth and soon found himself in ill-fitting suits training for the job. More than competent—smart, incisive, caring, respectful—Idsinga won over his fellow officers and his superiors. He was as capable of tracking down a getaway man as he was informing a mother that her son, lost to crime, would never return home. Idsinga found himself at the center of some of the most notable crimes in recent Toronto history, from the Jane Creba shooting on Boxing Day to shootouts on Yonge Street to helping track down some of the most vicious serial criminals the city has ever seen. But it was in homicide that Hank Idsinga would prove such a vital asset to the Toronto Police Services. Idsinga teamed up with his partners, including future chief of police Mark Saunders, on many murder calls—some one-offs, others more nefarious—taking in the scene with his excellent recall, finding the motive and the method faster and more insightfully than most. Idsinga and his team of seasoned detectives participated in taking down some of the worst Toronto has to offer, perhaps none more so than serial killer Bruce McArthur, who had terrorized the gay village for years. Idsinga became the public face for that investigation, and despite the criticism of the police force’s handling of the murders, Idsinga always appeared strong and compassionate in front of the media’s camera flashes. The High Road breathes life into the true detective genre, with raw, accessible and punchy prose, as honest and compelling as the homicide detective himself. His grandfather would have been proud.

Confessions of a Homicide Cop

The High Road

Finalist for the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion award in the nonfiction category.Back in 1982, Frankie and Annette wouldn't have survived ten minutes on this beach. Not before either being robbed, brutally assaulted, or forced to flee in terror from a violent lunatic amped to the gills on angel dust.Incredibly, the seaside sands were still much safer than the anarchic downtown streets of Oceanside, California. Little wonder the street cops' unofficial motto for the town was, "Where the Debris Meets the Sea."Are you in the mood for another utterly insensitive, grotesquely funny, and brutally honest stroll down memory alley? In this sequel to the first volume of his well-received memoirs, "Service With a Sneer," retired homicide detective and author John J. Lamb shares a new collection of insightful and riveting tales from his remarkable police career.Lamb takes the reader back four decades and to his days as a young street cop with the Oceanside Police Department. Nowadays, the city is an upscale tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the globe. Back then, it was one of the most violent municipalities in California, with a sky-high homicide rate. Armed street robberies were commonplace, vicious assaults occurred on an almost daily basis, street gang violence was the norm, and people were murdered for the flimsiest of reasons.But for Lamb, a self-confessed adrenaline junkie, policing the pitiless streets of Oceanside - and dealing with the feral human inhabitants - was the most fun he ever had with his clothes on. In this second volume of his anecdotal memoirs, we follow his continuing journey as he transitions from a tough and competent street cop to a skilled CSI, whose exceptional performance begins to attract the attention of homicide detectives.As with the first volume, the book begins with a warning that "SNAGs" (Sensitive New Age Guys/Gals) should avoid reading any further to avoid upset and severe emotional trauma. Next comes a glossary of deliciously ironic and enlightening California cop jargon from the early 1980s. Learn the meanings of "Screen Test", "H.U.A.", and "Bus Therapy," to name just a few.Lamb's stories include: The closest he ever came in his life to winning the "Darwin Award."Tales of savage hand-to-hand combat with berserk and violent PCP users in an era before Tasers and other "less lethal" measures existed.How he deliberately violated every element of hostage negotiation protocols in order to get a barricaded gunman to surrender to police.The tense account of how he pulled a drowned toddler from a swimming pool and used CPR to restore the child to life.His discovery of a vicious and life-threatening attack that led to the rescue of two young women and the arrest of a brutal sexual predator.And how he came to regret prematurely stopping a man from repeatedly punching a sanctimonious fellow police officer.As always, Lamb's stories are riveting, thought-provoking, occasionally revolting, educational, surreal, heartrending, and often rich with macabre humor.Above all, they are true.

Volume Two in the Service with a Sneer Chronicles

Beach Blanket Bedlam

When pressure peaks, the leaders who prevail are not the loudest or the most forceful. They are the most prepared, most precise, and most trusted. Learn how to steady a team, move people from resistance to decisive action, and protect performance when the stakes are highest. In Shaping Chaos, West Point graduate Kyle Vowinkel distills hard-won lessons from the Army and the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) and Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU) into a cohesive leadership operating system. One of only five people in FBI history to serve on both HRT and CNU, Vowinkel takes readers inside missions where failure could be fatal, and translates those disciplines into tools for boardrooms, crises, and high-consequence environments. Shaping Chaos alternates between vivid stories and concrete, repeatable tools These stories drop readers into real-world operations, from the Boston Marathon bombing manhunt to one of the FBI’s most complex kidnapping operations and other critical incidents. Even-numbered chapters then convert those experiences into practices leaders can apply immediately, anchored in Vowinkel’s Prime, Predict, Prevail framework: <ul> <li>Prime: Steady yourself and the team, unify intent, and clarify ownership and decision lanes before time compresses your options.</li> <li>Predict: Read the human, strategic, and emotional terrain, define best, most likely, and worst outcomes, map key levers and pathways, and set triggers and responses before the moment cuts off your options.</li> <li>Prevail: Design clear plans of action, advance through friction with agility, and execute decisively when conditions align.</li> </ul> When the storm arrives, leaders rarely rise to the occasion. They fall to their level of preparation. Shaping Chaos helps you build that foundation now, so you can lead with unflinching clarity, calm courage, and disciplined execution when it matters most.

Thin Blue Books

What does it truly mean to wear the badge in America?In Thin Blue Line: Life Behind the Badge, retired Sergeant Michael Barron pulls back the curtain on a profession few truly understand and even fewer survive unchanged. Drawing from his own career and the firsthand accounts of dozens of officers, Barron delivers an unfiltered look at life on the street-where split-second decisions carry life-or-death consequences and the line between order and chaos is razor thin.For more than 42 years, The BLUES published monthly "war stories" from law enforcement officers across the country. Now, Barron-founder and editor-in-chief of The BLUES-has assembled the most powerful, haunting, and unforgettable of those stories into one riveting volume. Thin Blue Line takes readers behind the scenes of real officer-involved shootings, volatile domestic disturbances, close calls, and the devastating loss of fellow officers killed in the line of duty.Barron writes not only as a journalist and editor, but as a survivor. A veteran officer who himself was involved in not one, but two officer-involved shootings, he brings a raw authenticity to every page. His voice captures the fear, adrenaline, guilt, camaraderie, and resilience that define the profession-along with the dark, often misunderstood humor cops use to cope with the job's relentless stress.At times intense, at times heartbreaking, and at times unexpectedly funny, Thin Blue Line: Life Behind the Badge is more than a collection of stories-it is a testament to the men and women who hold the line between society and chaos - in their world it's called the Thin Blue Line. And the cost to hold that line is personal and many times deadly.
