Blood & Betrayal

'As much a history of the deeply crooked culture of Italian politics as it is a vivid biography of one man' SUNDAY TIMES 'Fascinating' SPECTATOR 'Vivid and disturbing but utterly compelling' DAILY MAIL Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of twentieth-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance. This is the story of one man who stood in opposition. In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italy's history took place in Sicily: 471 men and 4 women took the stand, accused of horrific crimes. Sitting in the gallery was Leonardo Sciascia. One of the greatest European writers of the twentieth century, he had published the first Mafia novel, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as a true moral figure in a country where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life. Sciascia had come of age as the Mafia grew to prominence across Sicily. Witnessing the scale of corruption and violence, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business. In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascia's life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italy's soul. 'Magnificent and deeply affecting' PHILIP HENSHER 'Vivid and knowledgeable... This feels like the book [Moorehead] was destined to write' LUCY HUGHES-HALLETT

Leonardo Sciascia, the Rise of the Mafia and the Struggle for Italy’s Soul

A Sicilian Man

The Good Liar

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.

A True Legal Thriller

The Dangerous Wife

Der Tod kann uns ganz nah sein. Doch wir ahnen nichts davon. Wir wissen
nicht, dass uns im nächsten Moment eine Kugel treffen oder ein Lkw in 
eine Menschenmenge gelenkt wird, ein Täter uns nach dem Leben trachtet.
Rechtsmediziner Klaus Püschel und Gerichtsreporterin Bettina Mittelacher
greifen aus ihrem tiefen Fundus einerseits spektakuläre Fälle auf, die
Polizei, Justiz und Öffentlichkeit intensiv beschäftigen. Darunter zum Beispiel
ein abgründiger Dreifachmord, bei dem eine ganze Familie ausgelöscht
wird, sowie das geheimnisvolle Verschwinden einer Mallorquinerin und einen
Mordauftrag im Darknet.
Andererseits zeigen sie, wie akribisch Rechtsmediziner jeden Einzelfall von
Körperverletzung und Tod analysieren, dokumentieren und kombinieren -
unter Einsatz modernster Technik. Sie suchen nach der Wahrheit, wenn
Unschuldige im Gefängnis sitzen, um neue Beweise zu finden. Wie zum Beispiel
im Fall von Manfred Genditzki, der fast 14 Jahre lang in Haft war, bis er
endlich auf freien Fuß kam. Es geht nicht nur um die Obduktion. Es
geht um Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit.
Der Tod geht über Leichen. Aber der Tod steht nur am Anfang. Am Ende geht
es um die bestmögliche Aufklärung.

Der Tod geht über Leichen

If you picked up this book because you truly want to get away with murder, you will not be disappointed. Simply turn the page and we'll get started... 'Rebecca Philipson has turned the serial killer novel on it's head. Clever and all too credible.' Val McDermid, No.1 bestselling author of Silent Bones 'Remarkable.' The Times Denver Brady claims to be the most successful serial killer of our time - and that's precisely why you've never heard of him. But with the publication of How to Get Away With Murder, his manual for aspiring serial killers, that's about to change. When a copy of Denver's book is found at a crime scene, DI Samantha Hansen is given the job of tracking down the elusive author. As Denver and Sam's stories unfold and converge, it becomes clear that there's more to both than meets the eye. And once Denver's book goes viral, the pressure to find and bring him to justice brings Sam to breaking point. But in this dark and twisted tale, who is hunting whom? ***Readers love How to Get Away with Murder!*** 'Unputdownable.'

How to Get Away with Murder

For readers of His Name Is George Floyd and Under the Skin A landmark investigation into forensic medicine that exposes the systematic concealment of state-sanctioned violence through death investigations Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner's Silence reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical documents, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability. The Coroner’s Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence, Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. True accountability requires more than procedural reform. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how we investigate, document, and understand deaths at the hands of state institutions. The Coroner's Silence is a crucial intervention that challenges us to confront the deeply ingrained mechanisms that perpetuate systemic violence.

A True Crime Lover's Travel Guide to the Mid-Atlantic States

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.
