stern Crime - Wahre Verbrechen

Blood & Betrayal

Winter Hill

She shot her husband on a crowded Melbourne street.

Witnesses heard her shout, "I did it!"

Then she pleaded not guilty.

The case ignites the city. Newspapers circle. Society whispers. And inside the courtroom, two of Melbourne's fiercest legal minds go to war: a principled prosecutor chasing justice, and a flamboyant defence showman who plays to the gallery.

At the centre stands Kathleen Fraser: volatile, defiant, and impossible to ignore. Is she a cold-blooded killer? A woman dismissed as "hysterical" by her time? Or someone pushed beyond endurance in a world designed to silence her?

The Dangerous Wife resurrects a true crime murder trial that once gripped Australia. Now reconstructed in full from the original evidence. Court transcripts, depositions, private letters, shorthand notes, and hundreds of newspaper reports bring the testimony, contradictions, and turning points to life with the pace of a legal thriller.

What you'll get as a reader:

-A public shooting, a shocking confession, and a not-guilty plea that changes everything.
-A courtroom battle where strategy, reputation, and performance can decide a verdict.
-Evidence you can weigh for yourself, drawn from primary sources and contemporary reporting.

A vivid look at how class, gender, and public opinion shaped justice in Australia. Gripping, unsettling, and meticulously sourced, this is true crime for readers who want the law in action and a legal showdown where the stakes are life and death.

"A gripping true crime story told with the insight of a forensic legal mind." -Roy Maloy, true crime history

M. J. Checketts is the author of The Dangerous Wife: A True Legal Thriller, a meticulously researched and compelling narrative that resurrects one of Australia's most sensational courtroom battles. Drawing on his deep legal experience as a former senior partner of a major Australian law firm, he brings unmatched insight into the human drama and procedural intricacies of real-world justice.

Trained in England and based in Melbourne, Checketts spent his legal career advising on complex matters and now serves on several professional services boards. His writing blends crisp narrative pacing with the analytical precision of a seasoned lawyer, capturing both the emotional stakes and forensic detail that define high-profile trials. The Dangerous Wife is his first work of narrative non-fiction and reflects his commitment to telling true legal stories that engage, inform, and challenge readers.

The Teacher

A revelatory exploration of how today's right-wing authoritarianism emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but from within it Bracingly original... Hayek's Bastards demonstrates how a history of ideas can be riveting. Slobodian grounds intellectual abstractions in the lives of the people who espoused them... His book offers an illuminating history to our current bewildering moment, as right-wing populists join forces with billionaire oligarchs to take a chain saw to the foundations of public life, until there's nothing left to stand on' - Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times After the end of the Cold War, neoliberalism, with its belief in the virtues of markets and competition, seemed to have triumphed. Communism had been defeated - and Friedrich Hayek, the spiritual father of neoliberal economics, had just about lived to see it. But in the decades that followed, Hayek's disciples knew that they had a problem. The rise of social movements, from civil rights and feminism to environmentalism, were now proving roadblocks in the road to freedom, nurturing a culture of government dependency, public spending, political correctness and special pleading. Neoliberals needed an antidote. In this illuminating new book, historian Quinn Slobodian reveals how, from the 1990s onwards, neoliberal thinkers turned to nature, in an attempt to roll back social changes and to return to a hierarchy of gender, race and cultural difference. He explores how these thinkers drew on the language of science, from cognitive psychology to genetics, in order to embed the idea of 'competition' ever deeper into social life, and to advocate cultural homogeneity as essential for markets to truly work. Reading and misreading the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they forged the alliances with racial psychologists, neo-confederates, ethnonationalists that would become known as the alt-right. Hayek's Bastards shows that many contemporary iterations of the Far Right, from Javier Milei to Donald Trump, emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but within it. As repellent as their politics may be, these supposed disruptors are not defectors from the neoliberal order, but its latest cheerleaders.

Fashion and Beauty examines the role that innovation has played throughout fashion history. Moving beyond innovation as mere buzzword, Sutton looks at case studies of moments in history where innovation has initiated fundamental change. In the fashion and beauty industries-where relevance is everything-innovation is critical to survival and is often shaped by specific historical, cultural, economic, and sociological contexts. But innovation has become a buzzword, overused and generalized. Fashion and Beauty: Case Studies in Innovation identifies the various factors that define innovation, and innovation theories such as Schumpeter's, using a case study approach to explore innovative events in fashion and beauty ranging from the creation of maternity and plus-size women's apparel (Lane Bryant) and new textiles (DuPont's Kevlar) to the development of luxury streetwear (Dapper Dan), creative upcycling (feed sacks), and new markets in cosmetics (Fashion Fair) and business models in beauty (Weleda, Dr. Hauschka). The case studies incorporate salient contextual elements that factor into innovative developments as well as the entrepreneurial impulse both inside and outside of traditional economic systems. Sutton explores case studies of moments in history where innovation has initiated fundamental change, including recognition of new market segmentation (the rise of streetwear, beauty's turn to inclusivity), trends that turn into classics (athleisure wear), the creation of entirely new categories of apparel (maternity, plus-size), the use of technology for convenience and efficiency (e-commerce and social media), product improvement (advances in science of skin care), and as part of potential solutions to current fashion industry challenges (plant-based/upcycled products). Ultimately, each chapter considers the historical, political, and social context of each innovation along with its cultural meaning and impact.

America's Hometown has a dark side.
And the truth has been hidden in plain sight.

Hannibal, Missouri, is known around the world as the boyhood home of Mark Twain, a picturesque river town celebrated for its charm, history, and sense of American innocence. But beneath the postcards, museums, and storybook streets lies a far more unsettling legacy.

True Crime in America's Hometown uncovers the real crimes that shaped Hannibal in silence: brutal murders, unexplained deaths, disappearances that haunted families for generations, and scandals quietly erased from public memory. These are not legends or ghost stories. They are documented cases drawn from court records, newspaper archives, police reports, and firsthand accounts-many of which have never been fully examined until now.

From crimes that shocked the community to cases that were never solved, this book exposes how violence, deception, and injustice found their way into one of America's most beloved towns. Each chapter pulls the reader deeper into the shadows, revealing how tightly a community can hold its secrets, and what happens when the truth finally surfaces.

Written with the pace of modern true crime and the depth of historical investigation, True Crime in America's Hometown challenges the idea that evil only exists elsewhere. It proves that even the most charming places can harbor darkness-and that sometimes the most disturbing crimes are the ones closest to home.
Once you know these stories, you'll never see Hannibal the same way again.

A transformative guide to experiencing the fullness of God's promises through the power of minimalism, from the bestselling author of The More of Less and The Minimalist Home Rooted in the teachings of Jesus, Uncluttered Faith argues that true spiritual fulfilment and abundant life are found not in accumulation but in simplicity and generosity. Weaving together personal stories, biblical teachings and practical advice, Becker shows how worldly treasures can hinder your relationship with God and your potential in His Kingdom. He shares his journey towards minimalism, a path he began nearly two decades ago that has since revealed numerous spiritual promises, emphasising that Jesus's teaching to give away possessions is not about deprivation, but rather the formula to experience purpose, passion, fulfilment and meaning, in this life. Uncluttered Faith is more than a guide for your personal growth; it casts a bold vision for the Church to collectively embrace minimalism and reach its full potential, ultimately leading to a life that is not only personally fulfilling but also impactful for eternity.

Uncluttered Faith

"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again"Groucho Marx
In this entertaining collection of true stories from the past you will read about several murderers, one who killed in a blind rage, one who was honest, one who thought he was Billy the Kid and one who killed because of a cut on his thumb. You will meet bank robbers, faith healers, a priest who went underground, a mastermind who wasn't and his lawyer who was, a dancing princess, the Davy Crockett aficionado who was kidnapped and a teacher who was not, a pianist in need of a haircut and a guy who was told "you're going to need a bigger boat", and many more. All of them were simply...people. Some heroic, some tragic, some mysterious, some cruel, and some amusing (some intentionally and some not). In short, they were just humans trying to master that most difficult of human endeavours, surviving, some having greater success with it than others. But they were all interesting.And every individual you will meet from "Three-Fingered Louie" to the lady named "Woman of the Falling Snow" did (or do) exist and every story you will read is absolutely true. Keith Black, in his conversational style, will make you laugh and make you cry, but, most of all, you will be entertained. Enjoy!
