Cunningham J: The State Rests

The State Rests

Crime and Punishment at Lake of the Ozarks

In OBSESSED Follow A Survivor's Five-Year Quest for Justice and Truth

Lost Boys, Dark Secrets: The Riveting True Crime Story of a Five-Year Investigation

In the tranquil towns of New England during the 1970s, a sinister mystery unfolded when several boys vanished without a trace and the community's peace was shattered. With law enforcement stymied in its search for answers, whispers of a possible serial killer surfaced, especially after one boy's body was found years after his disappearance. But what happened to the others remained a heart-wrenching puzzle.

In 2013, author David McGrath, a former host on the Law Enforcement Today Network and an investigator with a relentless drive for justice, watched a documentary about the cold case investigation regarding the missing boys. Himself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and active in his local community with a sex abuse therapy group, McGrath was struck by the number of unanswered questions in the documentary.

What followed, beginning in January 2014, was a five-year quest to find the answers to this child abduction and murder mystery. Traveling all over the United States, he uncovered a labyrinth of dark secrets just beneath the surface and unknown to most residents of the bucolic communities from which the boys disappeared. Haunted by his own past, he had to navigate these dark waters if he wanted to bring truth and justice to the victims and their families.

OBSESSED: A Survivor's Quest To Find The Lost Boys of New England is McGrath's riveting true crime memoir. A poignant, horrifying, incredible story of suspense, courage, and the unyielding quest for truth.*

* Part of this book was originally published in 2019 as MONSTER. This edition has been substantially revised and updated with important new information and conclusions.

A Survivor's Quest To Find Justice For The Lost Boys of New England

Obsessed

'A fascinating and sometimes disturbing journey inside the mind of someone who hunts monsters for a living' PATTON OSWALT From the detective who helped catch the Golden State Killer, a memoir about investigating America's toughest cold cases, and the rewards - and toll - of a life spent solving crime. For a decade, from 1973, The Golden State Killer stalked and murdered Californians in the dead of night, leaving entire communities terrified. Then he vanished, and the case remained unsolved. In 1994, when cold-case investigator Paul Holes came across the old file, he swore he would unmask GSK and finally give these families closure. In 2018, Holes identified 73-year-old Joseph J. DeAngelo. Headlines blasted around the world: one of America's most prolific serial killers had been caught. That case launched Paul's career into the stratosphere, turning him into an icon in the true-crime world. But while many know the story of the capture of GSK, until now, no one has truly known the man behind it all. In UNMASKED, Paul takes us through his memories of a storied career and provides an insider account of some of the most notorious cases in contemporary history. This is a story about the gritty truth of crime solving when there are no 'case closed' headlines. It is the story of a complex man and his commitment to his cases, and to the people who might have otherwise been forgotten.

Crime Scenes, Cold Cases and My Hunt for the Golden State Killer

Unmasked

My mother is the only woman ever to escape from the Sarasota County Jail. WHAT!! It naturally leads to the question: "What was your ma doing in jail in the first place?"
In 1953, she walked out of her Hyde Park home in Chicago-leaving behind a husband, six kids, and a life that had grown too small-and stepped straight into a coast¿töcoast crime spree. Flo Baran and Bill Gaskell weren't Bonnie and Clyde, but they weren't exactly knitting sweaters either. They lived on guile, guts, and a gun, improvising their way across America like two people convinced the rules no longer applied to them. She was behind the wheel of the getaway car, tires screaming, heart pounding, doing everything she could to outrun the law and the life she'd just blown up. This tale includes not one but two dramatic arrests involving the FBI. The first time, agents cornered Flo and arrested her at home. The second time-well, you'll have to read about it. But every wild ride ends somewhere, and theirs came to a surprising halt in a cool Miami motel. This memoir, written in an easy, conversational style, traces the life and times of my ma-the Housewife-and her fling with the pistol¿packing Bandit. It spans from 1901, when my grandparents began their long journey from Poland, all the way through 2006, when the last of that generation passed on. Along the way, you'll find family photographs and bios, Florida newspaper clippings, official quotes from the FBI and law enforcement in Florida and Alabama, and even World War II Navy documents. All of it is seasoned with the humor and well¿intentioned sarcasm. Historical and local events weave through the narrative, giving context to what was happening in the world while these two were out there doing their thing. On a bright, sunny day in 1954, I stood on the sidewalk and watched FBI agents drag my mother away. I didn't understand why then. I understand it now. Her true story-bold and unforgettable-is finally ready to be told.

Hey Ma, What Were You Thinking?

Murderland

Step into a dangerous world of cunning and survival with BAKER, LIAR, CON MAN, THIEF: Escaping the Law One Identity at a Time by D.J. Adler. 
Reminiscent of the hit film Catch Me If You Can, this gripping true story unveils the life of David Adler, a teenager in South Florida in the late 1970s when he embarks on an audacious journey of deception. 
It all starts when Adler secures a bank loan to buy a booming local bakery. With no funds to his name, Adler unlocks his talent for forgery and the art of the scam. Alongside his mother and Italian tough-guy stepfather, he navigates a perilous path of crime, crafting false identities to dupe banks, casinos, and even the World's Fair, accumulating vast sums and dodging law enforcement. 
Enter Dianne Symmons, a witty, sarcastic FBI agent obsessed with their capture. After she solves an unrelated airline hijacking case, she is assigned to find the trio and make a case against them. Much easier said than done since each uses hundreds of names and disposes of identities like tissue. 
This thrilling narrative is perfect for those who enjoy crime memoirs. It explores the thrilling and perilous life of con artists at work and delves into the complexities of familial bonds, the pursuit of freedom, and the consequences of a life lived on the run. 
BAKER, LIAR, CON MAN, THIEF is a masterclass in the psychology of deception that takes the reader on a roller-coaster journey through the underbelly of 1970s America.

Escaping the Law One Identity at a Time

BAKER, LIAR, CON MAN, THIEF

13 Days of Silence is the true story of the thirteen days between a mother's last contact with her son and the moment she learned he was the body found in a burned vehicle.What begins with a calm phone call from law enforcement quickly becomes something far more unsettling. Investigators say they are looking for her son about a car and reassure her that he is not in trouble. As the days pass, the questions begin to change. Messages go unanswered. Information comes slowly, in fragments. Then comes a request no parent ever expects. Dental records.For thirteen days, hope and dread live side by side.Told by a mother who spent decades working inside crisis as a paramedic, firefighter, and corrections officer, 13 Days of Silence offers a rare perspective from someone who understood emergencies and investigations long before she was forced to experience them from the other side.What follows is not only grief but a difficult journey through the realities of the criminal justice system. In the courtroom, testimony conflicts, timelines blur, and the narrative presented does not always match what was expected. The legal process moves forward, but many questions remain unanswered, including the most painful one of all. Why.Written with restraint and grounded in lived experience, 13 Days of Silence is not a sensational true crime story. It is a mother's account of waiting, of loss, and of what it feels like when the search for justice does not always bring clarity.The thirteen days ended. The silence did not.

The Murder of Rylee James

13 Days of Silence

Once Upon a Time in Brixton is a raw and unflinching true story of survival, gang culture, violence, and redemption on the streets of South London.
Growing up on the notorious Stockwell Park Estate in Brixton, Paul Smith was drawn into a world where drugs, robberies, gangs, and street warfare became part of everyday life. Raised without a father and surrounded by criminals who became his role models, he quickly rose through the brutal hierarchy of London's underground street culture.
What began as petty crime and childhood rebellion soon spiralled into a dangerous life of drug dealing, violence, paranoia, and destruction. By the age of nineteen, Paul's world collapsed completely, ending in a shocking six-day rampage that left multiple people dead and changed countless lives forever.
Told in Paul Smith's own voice, this powerful memoir takes readers deep inside Britain's hidden gang culture - from Brixton estates and sound-system clashes to prison cells and the notorious walls of Broadmoor Hospital. Honest, disturbing, emotional, and deeply reflective, this is not a glorification of crime, but a rare insight into the realities of street life, mental breakdown, guilt, and the search for redemption.
For readers of Gang Leader for a Day, Monster, A Sense of Freedom, and gritty urban true-crime memoirs, Once Upon a Time in Brixton is a gripping journey into a world few ever truly see - and even fewer survive.

Once upon A Time In Brixton

How A Real American Family Overcame Adversity With Love, Respect, and Resilience

Truth Teller

When twelve-year-old Stacey's mother, Nancy Jo Andrade, went missing, her world shattered. What followed the devastating discovery that Nancy Jo had been murdered were decades of painful uncertainty-her body never being found and her family's relentless fight for justice by a system that faltered.

In this riveting and personal account, Stacey shares what it means to live in the aftermath of violent crime-not as a headline, but as a daughter, sister, and survivor. Through her eyes, readers witness the silence left behind, the ongoing battle with courts and sentencing, and the haunting absence of closure.

This book is not about answers-it is about the questions that never stop. It is about the weight of absence, the resilience of love, and the unrelenting pursuit of justice for those who can no longer speak for themselves.

For families who have endured similar loss, Stacey offers recognition and solidarity, as well as a collection of resources to help navigate the impossible journey of surviving violent crime. For others, this is an unflinching glimpse into the human cost of violence-a story that demands compassion, awareness, and change.
Stacey Andrade King's story stands as both testimony and tribute: to her mother's life, to the families forever marked by murder, and to the enduring fight for justice when the system fails.
