Harrison R: The Commissioner

The Commissioner

From Street Cop to Top Cop in the NYPD, and the Inside Story of the Hunt for the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer

In the last week of December 2010, a snow-covered car sat unnoticed in an urgent care parking lot in Arnold, Missouri. Inside was the body of 26-year-old Jessica Eberhardt, missing for eight days. Left in the Snow tells the story of what is publicly known about Jessica Eberhardt's disappearance and death: the ordinary December evening that preceded it, her family's desperate search, the historic Midwest snowstorm that helped keep her car hidden in plain sight through Christmas, and the two people ultimately convicted of abandoning her body rather than reporting her death. This is a small case by true crime standards - one that received only modest news coverage at the time, and whose resolution required going beyond news archives into Missouri's own court records to confirm. This book does exactly that, tracing the case through to its conclusion: four-year sentences for both defendants. Along the way, it places Jessica Eberhardt's story in the context of a much larger and well-documented pattern: the thousands of Americans each year who die of overdoses at private gatherings, and the bystanders who - out of fear, panic, or some calculation about legal consequences - choose concealment over calling for help. Drawing on contemporaneous news reporting, Missouri court records, state law, and public health research on overdose bystander behavior, this book is a careful, honest account of one young mother's story, and of a pattern that continues to repeat across the country.

The Disappearance and Death of Jessica Eberhardt

Left in the Snow

“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.

WINNER OF 2026 EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST FACT CRIME SHORTLISTED FOR CWA'S ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION 'Murderland reads like a true crime thriller' SUNDAY TIMES 'Haunting, elegant and fiercely intelligent' OBSERVER 'I highly recommend it' R. F. KUANG, author of KATABASIS, OBSERVER <h4>A terrifying true-crime history of serial killers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond - from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Prairie Fires</h4> Caroline Fraser grew up in the shadow of Ted Bundy, the most notorious serial killer in the brooding landscape of the Pacific Northwest. 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.

Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers - 'I highly recommend it' (R. F. Kuang, Observer)

Murderland

In August 1969, members of charismatic leader Charles Manson’s countercultural "family" mur­dered some of Hollywood’s "beautiful people," most famously Sharon Tate, eight and a half months pregnant at the time. The killers left be­hind evidence intended to implicate Black radi­cals and to trigger an apocalyptic race war. What happened instead was that the gruesome murders placed the entire counterculture un-der suspicion and then came to mean, in Joan Didion’s formulation, the end of the sixties. They have been a cornerstone of the true crime genre ever since. Drawing on newly released archival material of case transcripts, Love and Terror recasts the Manson case as an exemplary site for historical scholarship. The book shows how the standard story of the murders came to be told the way it was. In place of this shopworn narrative, Clau­dia Verhoeven presents a kaleidoscopic history at the center of which is a far stranger portrait of Manson, the man who became the ultimate murder mastermind in the American mythos. Based on years of investigative research, Love and Terror rewrites the Manson murders as a prism of American culture, an event framed by global avant-gardist movements and revolu­tionary violence, and an early sign of our age of spectacle. This history is confused, tumultuous, and pell-mell; it is carnival-esque; and it is a downward spiral into terror that, however, is simultaneously thrilling and repetitively compulsive, which is why the song’s refrain about the repeat experience of going up and down the helter skelter is also an apt metaphor for the endless retelling of the murders and the never-ending produc­tivity of the Manson industrial complex/culture industry.

Ein dunkler Moment, der die Wendung markiert – zum Opfer oder zum Täter.Auch Eva kämpft mit diesen Grenzen, die sie selbst schon überschritten hat, mit den blinden Flecken unserer moralischen Verurteilung. Mit jedem Fall, den Eva erzählt, mit jedem Fall, in dem die Grenze zwischen Gerechtigkeit und Recht verschwimmt, lösen sich ihre Gewissheiten auf. Bis sie sich fragt, welche Konsequenzen sie ziehen muss.Dunkle Momente
 ist ein packendes Hörbuch über die 
 ethischen und moralischen Dilemmata
 jedes Einzelnen, darüber, dass Recht und Gerechtigkeit nicht immer das Gleiche sind. Mit unbestechlichem Blick stellt 
 Elisa Hoven
 die Eindeutigkeit infrage und zeigt, dass ein Mensch immer mehr ist als seine Tat.

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.

A New York Times bestseller Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize One of Barack Obama's Summer Reading List Picks Named a Book of the Year in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Chicago Tribune and Newsweek 'Urgent, extraordinary . . . a tribute to the astonishing indomitability of the human spirit.' - Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author Empire of Pain 'Moving, sweeping, and masterful' - Sally Hayden, author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned New Yorker journalist Jonathan Blitzer has been covering the immigration crisis at America's southern border for nearly a decade, but the current emergency is the end of a much larger story. In this, his first book, Blitzer goes back to the beginning: to the shadowy civil wars in El Salvador and Guatemala in the 1980s; to the American prison system in the 1990s and the policies of mass deportation that transformed local street criminals into international crime syndicates; to Honduras's brutal crackdown on crime in the 2000s and the emergence of gangs across Central America and the United States. And then the Trump era, in which immigration became a vector of resurgent populism, with mass internments the order of the day. Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here is a fresh and full account of America's immigration problems, but it is much more than that. It is an odyssey of struggle and resilience, telling the epic story of people whose lives ebb and flow across the border and those who help and hinder them. It is a gripping and persuasive attempt to answer not only the question of how America got there, but the vital question of who we are and who we want to be in our liberal Western democracies, whether we are incarcerating children on our southern borders or watching them drown on the shores of the Mediterranean. 'This is one of the pre-eminent political issues of our time, and Blitzer explores it in reportage of the expensive, often courageous, gumshoe kind . . . breathtaking.' - Guardian 'What an incredibly thorough documentation of the causes of the immigration crisis, the discussions that have been going on through multiple administrations.' - Jon Stewart, The Daily Show

A superb account of America's immigration crisis and its implications for us all.

#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.
