Webb Jr. W: Unjust Gaggle of Gavels

Unjust Gaggle of Gavels

Volume 1

Andersheit - Fremdheit - Ungleichheit

Setzt man sich mit Kriminalliteratur auseinander, befasst man sich meistens mit Kriminalfiktion(en), mit literarischen Verbrechen, die zwar Bezüge zur ¿wirklichen Wirklichkeit¿ und somit auch zur wahren Kriminalität aufweisen können, die aber letztendlich stets als etwas Fiktives bzw. Fiktionales empfunden werden. Dabei machte die Kriminalliteratur immer wieder Anleihen beim realen Verbrechen, indem sie entweder vor dem Hintergrund realer Tatverläufe Geschichten erzählte oder dieselben realen Tatverläufe reportagemäßig dokumentierte. Ein ähnlich differentes Verhältnis lässt sich auch in anderen medialen Feldern finden, die u.a. das Verbrechen, die Ermittlung und die Bestrafung zum Thema haben, wie in Film oder Fernsehen. Die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband widmen sich dem Problem von (medial, literarisch) erzählter und (politisch, gesellschaftlich) erlebter Kriminalität, um auf diesem Wege auch der Frage nach (nicht?) bestehenden Synergien zwischen ihnen nachzugehen.

When engaging with crime literature, one is usually dealing with crime fiction(s), with literary crimes that, although they may have connections to 'actual reality' and thus to real criminality, are ultimately always perceived as something fictional. In this context crime literature has repeatedly drawn on real crimes, either telling stories against the backdrop of real criminal events, or documenting the same real events in a journalistic manner. A similar yet distinct relationship between criminal reality and criminal fictionality can also be found in other media fields that focus on crime, investigation, and punishment, such as film or television. The contributions in this anthology address the problem of crime narrated (in film, media, or literature) and crime experienced (in political and societal contexts), in order to explore the question of whether or not there are synergies between them.

A History of the American Struggle to Tax the Rich

Make Them Pay

Condemned Without Cause, is Patricia Borden's account of her twenty-year fight to bring her son Stephen home from a 75-year prison sentence. Stephen May is autistic. As a toddler he was diagnosed with ataxia, a neurological condition that affects his gait and coordination. With no prior criminal record, in 2007 a jury witnessed his disability and called it guilt, convicting him under an Arizona statute that was later ruled unconstitutional. The law has since been thrown out, but Stephen remains behind bars, as Mrs. Borden continues to believe that justice will prevail. Senior U.S. District Judge Frederic Block, who presided over Stephen's federal habeas case, was so moved by the injustice that he dedicated his 2024 book, A Second Chance, to Stephen by name.

Dinero sucio y poder de cuello blanco

Los amos del blanqueo

In 2010, Andrew, a tall, dark, and handsome man, flitted amongst the St. Louis elite with a pedigree worthy of their involvement. The only problem was that his gilded gold stories were complete fabrications. He vacated the region in 2015 but had the balls to return less than ten years later, propagating the same charade. St. Louis Lucifer is a true crime story of deception and impersonation. Not so much a "tell all" but a "based on a true story" about Andrew's faux foibles. Szulc exorcises a demon through her story of the collision into the life of an imposter in the hallowed halls of St. Louis' cultural institutions.

Antique Hunter's Series

The third novel in the “delightful, page-turning” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) Antique Hunter Series finds Freya, Aunt Carole, and friends searching for a missing colleague in picturesque Scotland. Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder...but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).

The Antique Hunter's Murder at the Castle

A Tale of Murder and Retribution in the Deep South

The Wiregrass

He Promised Them Opportunity. He Gave Them Death.Three Young Women Vanished. One Survivor Exposed Their Killer.

Los Angeles in the 1950s drew young women with promises of work, independence, and a chance at something bigger. Harvey Glatman saw an opportunity of another kind.

Posing as a photographer and using lonely-hearts clubs and modeling agencies to find victims, Glatman abducted and murdered Judith Dull, Ruth Mercado, and Shirley Bridgeford, leaving their bodies in the Southern California desert. For months, their disappearances remained disconnected and unexplained.

Then Glatman targeted Lorraine Vigil. She fought back, survived, and helped expose the man behind a horrifying series of crimes. Investigators soon uncovered photographs of bound women and evidence linking Glatman to the missing victims.

A killer had been hiding in plain sight. Drawing on court records, contemporary newspapers, archival material, and original research, BOUND TO DIE: The Young Victims of a Serial Killer and Rapist follows Harvey Glatman's trail from the streets of Los Angeles into the desolate Southern California desert, where three young women met their deaths.

The Young Victims of A Serial Killer and Rapist

Bound to Die

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty?December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish.The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime.In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years?Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.
