Cunningham J: The State Rests

The State Rests

Crime and Punishment at Lake of the Ozarks

In 2001, John J. Lennon killed a man on a Brooklyn Street. Now he's a journalist, working from behind bars, trying to make sense of it all. The Tragedy of True Crime is a first-person journalistic account of the lives of four men who have killed, written by a man who has killed. Lennon entered the New York prison system with a sentence of 28 years to life but after he stepped into a writing workshop at Attica Correctional Facility, his whole life changed. Reporting from the cell block and the prison yard, Lennon challenges our obsession with true crime by telling the full life stories of men now serving time for the lives they took. These men have completely different backgrounds - Robert Chambers, a preppy Manhattanite turned true crime celebrity; Milton E. Jones, a seventeen-year-old coaxed from burglary into something far darker; and Michael Shane Hale, a gay man caught in a crime of passion - and all are searching to find meaning and redemption behind bars. Lennon's reporting is intertwined with his own story, from a young man seduced by the infamous gangster culture of New York City to a celebrated prison journalist. The same desire echoes throughout the lives of these four men: to become more than murderers. A first-of-its-kind book of immersive prison journalism, The Tragedy of True Crime poses fundamental questions about the stories we tell and who gets to tell them. What essential truth do we lose when we don't consider all that comes before an act of unthinkable violence? And what happens to the convicted after the cell gate locks?

Four years later, Beth Holloway steps forward to tell the story of her daughter's disappearance and her own harrowing ordeal—and her never-ending belief in the power of faith that gave her hope against all odds.When Natalee went missing, her photograph was splashed across newspaper front pages and television screens from coast to coast.

A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith

Loving Natalee

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

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.

13 Days of Silence

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.

But in the 1970s and 80s, Bundy was just one perpetrator amid an uncanny explosion of serial rape and murder across the region. Why so many? Why so nightmarishly gruesome? Why the senseless rise of an epidemic of serial murderers?As Murderland maps the lives of Bundy and his infamous peers - the Green River Killer, the I-5 Killer, the Night Stalker, the Hillside Strangler, Charles Manson - Fraser begins to uncover a deeper mystery and an overlapping pattern of environmental destruction. At ground zero in Ted Bundy's hometown stood one of the most poisonous lead, copper and arsenic smelters in the world. And it was only one among many that dotted the area.Gradually, evidence mounts that the plumes of western smelters not only sickened millions but also warped young minds - potentially spawning a generation of serial killers.'Lyrically luminescent' NEW YORK TIMES'Compelling' LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS'Breathlessly propulsive' JOYCE CAROL OATES, NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS'Extraordinarily well-written and genre-defying . . . a moody masterpiece' NEW YORKER'A powerful plea' FINANCIAL TIMES'Compelling, beautifully written . . . at heart, a cry of outrage' WASHINGTON POST'Wonderfully propulsive and hard to put down' ATLANTIC'Brooding and often brave' BOSTON GLOBE'Not to be missed' CHICAGO TRIBUNE'Sharp, incandescent' SEATTLE TIMES'A great writer can make art of the most grotesque material, and Fraser does' WALL STREET JOURNAL
