Richards K: Under Their Roof / LF

Under Their Roof

My shocking true story of surviving life with Fred and Rose West

A riveting and meticulous account of why and how female serial killers commit murder. Drawing on original scientific research and various psychological perspectives, Dr. Marissa A. Harrison illustrates how female serial killers differ from their male counterparts and why society is so fascinated by their grisly crimes.

The Psychology of Female Serial Killers

Just as Deadly

Next year''s most terrifying novel, from the internationally bestselling author of The Whisper Man, available to pre-order now **** Dan Garvie can''t move on from a thing he didn''t do. Dan was only a child himself that day, but he saw the boy. He knew he needed help. But all he could do was hide - and one of the world''s most notorious serial killers got away. Years later, Dan has a successful career as a criminal psychiatrist, unpicking the very darkest of human behaviour. Because, despite what he saw that day, Dan knows there''s no such thing as a monster. But now his father, John, has disappeared. Which brings Dan back to the small island where he grew up, where the ghosts of the past will be impossible to ignore. Because it turns out there was a body found on the island, just before John vanished. A body that might just link back to the serial killer from that fateful day. If Dan dares, it could be a chance to save his dad, and finally find redemption. Or he might be walking straight into a trap... ******* Praise for Alex North "As terrifying as a great horror novel, as unpredictable as the best type of crime novel and above all beautifully written...a writer who is an absolute master of his craft" Jane Casey "This is absorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own" New York Times "Hugely atmospheric and deliciously creepy" Alex Michaelides

The Man Made of Smoke

A Cult Survivor's Fight for Truth and Justice

Set Me Free

The Royal Waterloo Hospital, London in the 1960s. Six young women lie asleep on low beds. Day and night no longer exist, extinguished by a potent cocktail of antipsychotic, sedative and anti-depressant drugs. The women are taken from their beds by the nurses and given electroconvulsive therapy before being put to sleep again. All under the watchful eye of Dr William Sargant. THE SLEEP ROOM is a chilling exposé of Sargant's bizarre psychiatric treatments that were inflicted on hundreds of women with mental illness - among them the actor Celia Imrie. At the story's centre is a sinister and charismatic doctor, who was a hugely influential figure in post-war British society - lauded by Robert Graves and Aldous Huxley as well regularly appearing on the BBC. When Sargant died in 1988, the obituaries were glowing. But since then, women treated without their consent and with often horrific side-effects lasting decades have been campaigning to tell the truth about Sargant. Author Jon Stock tells these women's stories as well delving into the murky history of Sargant's links with the CIA and MI5, both of which took a close interest in his efforts to reprogramme the human mind. As compulsive as a thriller, The Sleep Room finally gets to the truth of a scandal at the heart of the British medical establishment.

Roberto Saviano, on Tokyo Vice When acclaimed journalist Jake Adelstein hires a former Yakuza boss, known as the 'Tsunami', to be his driver and bodyguard, he soon finds himself swept into the violent heart of Tokyo's organised crime syndicates. From gambling rackets and ritualised killings, to the forbidden pleasures of 'soapland', Adelstein's unlikely friendship with the 'Tsunami' gains him unprecedented access to the Yakuza - now under threat after years of tacit acceptance from Japanese society. But in a culture that prizes loyalty and honour above all else, how far can they go in their quest for truth about Tokyo's criminal underworld? A riveting history of the Japanese mafia, featuring an unforgettable cast of supporting characters, The Last Yakuza is an electrifying - but ultimately uplifting - story of one man's life of crime.

The brand-new Dr David Hunter thriller

The Bone Garden

The bestselling author of Norco ’80 returns with a riveting story of mid-1980s San Diego that placed one young Black man at the center of a whirlwind of crime and punishment that profoundly altered Southern California March 31, 1985. Two white patrol officers in search of a gang member followed a pickup truck carrying seven young Black men up a dirt driveway in the Encanto neighborhood of Southeastern San Diego. Minutes later, gunshots rang out, and the truck’s driver, Sagon Penn, fled the scene in an officer’s patrol car. The incident stunned the city. What followed would change it forever. Penn was an idealist who believed in the power of Buddhist chants to bring about the oneness of humanity. The two police officers were rising stars in one of the most progressive police departments in the country, yet one that had suffered more officers killed in the line of duty than any other. While the facts of the case were never in dispute, what remained unresolved was what, if anything, could justify such a violent confrontation? For over two years, a determined prosecutor and a charismatic defense attorney engaged in a sensational courtroom drama that revolved around matters of mental health, racial biases, and the self-image of a once-sleepy beach town grappling with its transformation into a major metropolitan area. The Sagon Penn incident forever altered how San Diego would respond to incidents involving police and communities of color. Based on court transcripts, personal interviews, and archival police reports, Reap the Whirlwind is a gripping true-crime narrative set against the evocative backdrop of Southern California.

Violence, Race, Justice, and the Story of Sagon Penn

Reap the Whirlwind

Was steckt hinter dem Tod einer jungen Kadettin auf der »Gorch Fock«? Warum wurde ein altes Ehepaar auf Sizilien so heimtückisch ermordet? Spurlos verschwand ein 13-jähriges Mädchen auf dem Weg zur Schule - es gibt zahlreiche Verdächtige, doch was geschah wirklich? In einer Käserei wird die Buchhalterin erstochen: War es die Tat eines Stalkers? Und warum wird ein Junge bereits als Kind zum Gewalttäter und später zum Mörder?
 
 Axel Petermann widmet sich fünf spektakulären Fällen und liefert erstaunliche neue Erkenntnisse. Seine Ermittlungen zeigen: Häufig werden Fälle vorschnell zu den Akten gelegt. Ein ganz besonderes Augenmerk legt er diesmal auf die Psyche der Täter. Was macht Menschen zu Mördern - und wie wählen sie ihre Opfer aus? Der renommierte Kriminalist blickt in menschliche Abgründe und kommt mit den Methoden des Profiling den Verbrechern auf die Spur. Spannender als ein Krimi und beängstigend wahr.
