A series of murders and felonies in high places makes this story disguised as fiction a gripping page-turner. Particularly since they were committed by and against presidents, vice presidents, politicians of all stripes and powerful personages in various branches of our government and, sometimes, of foreign ones as well. A number of these crimes were committed in collusion with professional mobsters and henchmen hired for the purpose, creating an unusual set of circumstances: governments, foreign and domestic, in partnership with the underworld. Although others have covered these events in nonfiction works, in most cases they have avoided the dangerous conclusions in this novel, such as the murder of a famous movie star (disguised as suicide) and the lover of an iconic politician (disguised as an accident). Also exposed are the great unpunished and unsolved assassinations of the twentieth century: JFK (clearly not done by the patsy accused of it), RFK (ditto), Martin Luther King (ditto), and J. Edgar Hoover. This book reveals the motives and brains behind these and other heinous crimes covered up by the very powers that committed them. The novel uncovers the sex and personal lives of the killed and their killers, as well as those of their movie-star and Mafia accomplices, naming their (in some cases mutual) sexual partners, some of which were regular participants in the White House, Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe sex parties. The mere possibility that any one of these events could actually have taken place is unsettling enough. Taken as a whole they form a mind-boggling compendium of criminal conduct nearly inconceivable in this day and age, above all considering that the American public has been led to believe, through manipulative use of the media and the proactive intervention of top-level government officials themselves, that everything has been done “by the book.” Aware that, while others have tried to pseudonymously evade consequences, I am willing to put my life at risk by using my own name. But it is a story worth telling for Americans to get an idea of the powerful forces they are up against. Forces capable not only of high crimes but, more importantly, able to cover them up officially and seamlessly.

For four centuries, New England has been a cradle of crime and murder—from the Salem witch trials to the modern-day mafia. Nineteenth century New England was the hunting ground of five female serial killers: Jane Toppan, Lydia Sherman, Nellie Webb, Harriet E. Nason, and Sarah Jane Robinson. Female killers are often portrayed as caricatures: Black Widows, Angels of Death, or Femme Fatales. But the real stories of these women are much more complex. In Pretty Evil New England, true crime author Sue Coletta tells the story of these five women, from broken childhoods, to first brushes with death, and she examines the overwhelming urges that propelled these women to take the lives of a combined total of more than one-hundred innocent victims. The murders, investigations, trials, and ultimate verdicts will stun and surprise readers as they live vicariously through the killers and the would-be victims that lived to tell their stories.

Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the US Congress engaged in bitter debates on whether to enact a federal law that would prosecute private citizens who lynched black Americans. In Getting Away with Murder, the fundamental question under scrutiny is whether Southern Democrats’ racist attitudes toward black Americans pardoned the atrocities of lynching. The book investigates underlying motives of opposition to Senate filibustering and invites an intellectual discussion on why Southern Democrats thought states’ rights were the remedy to lynching, when, in fact, the phenomenon was a baffling national crisis. A rebuttal to this query may include notions that congressional investigations into state-protected rights were deemed unconstitutional. In a unifying theme, the appeal ties into questions of the federalism-civil rights debate by noting intervals that warrant research and advancing new perspectives intended to accentuate the matrices of race-based politics. To examine the federalism-civil rights debate, this book asks three practical questions: (1) Would Southern Democrats suspend their friendships with private citizens and enact a federal law that would prosecute them for lynching? (2) Was the national government limited in its constitutional power to protect black Americans from private citizens who organized themselves as lynch mobs? (3) Were concerns for states’ rights the core reasons for Senate filibustering, or did Southern Democrats’ argument for states’ rights support the lie of racism?

***Please note: This ebook does not contain the photos found in the print edition of this title.*** When news broke of three-year-old Caylee Anthony's disappearance from her home in Florida in July 2008, there was a huge outpouring of sympathy across the nation. The search for Caylee made front-page headlines. But there was one huge question mark hanging over the case: the girl's mother. As the investigation continued and suspicions mounted, Casey became the prime suspect. In October, based on new evidence against Casey—her erratic behavior and lies, her car that showed signs of human decomposition—a grand jury indicted the young single mother. Then, two months later, police found Caylee's remains a quarter of a mile away from the Anthony home. Casey pled not guilty to charges of murder in the first degree, and she continues to protest her innocence. Did she or didn't she kill Caylee? Mommy's Little Girl is the story of one of the most shocking, confusing, and horrific crimes in modern American history.
