As decapitated heads and dismembered body parts surfaced in the Seine, Commissaire Georges-Victor Massu, head of the Brigade Criminelle, was tasked with tracking down the elusive murderer in a twilight world of Gestapo, gangsters, resistance fighters, pimps, prostitutes, spies, and other shadowy figures of the Parisian underworld.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The main suspect was Dr. Marcel Petiot, a handsome, charming physician with remarkable charisma.&amp;nbsp; He was the &amp;ldquo;People&amp;rsquo;s Doctor,&amp;rdquo; known for his many acts of kindness and generosity, not least in providing free medical care for the poor.&amp;nbsp; Petiot, however, would soon be charged with twenty-seven murders, though authorities suspected the total was considerably higher, perhaps even as many as 150.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Who was being slaughtered, and why?&amp;nbsp; Was Petiot a sexual sadist, as the press suggested, killing for thrills?&amp;nbsp; Was he allied with the Gestapo, or, on the contrary, the French Resistance?&amp;nbsp; Or did he work for no one other than himself?&amp;nbsp; Trying to solve the many mysteries of the case, Massu would unravel a plot of unspeakable deviousness.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;When Petiot was finally arrested, the French police hoped for answers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the trial soon became a circus.&amp;nbsp; Attempting to try all twenty-seven cases at once, the prosecution stumbled in its marathon cross-examinations, and Petiot, enjoying the spotlight, responded with astonishing ease.&amp;nbsp; His attorney, Ren&amp;eacute; Floriot, a rising star in the world of criminal defense, also effectively, if aggressively, countered the charges.&amp;nbsp; Soon, despite a team of prosecuting attorneys, dozens of witnesses, and over one ton of evidence, Petiot&amp;rsquo;s brilliance and wit threatened to win the day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Drawing extensively on many new sources, including the massive, classified French police file on Dr. Petiot, &lt;i&gt;Death in the City of Light&lt;/i&gt; is a brilliant evocation of Nazi-Occupied Paris and a harrowing exploration of murder, betrayal, and evil of staggering proportions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

On the Lower East Side, two boys playing at a pier discover a floating human torso wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumble upon neatly severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. Clues to a horrifying crime are turning up all over New York, but the police are baffled: There are no witnesses, no motives, no suspects.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged detectives&lt;br&gt;headlong into the era&amp;rsquo;s most baffling murder mystery. Seized upon by battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the case became a publicity circus. Reenactments of the murder were staged in Times Square, armed reporters lurked in the streets of Hell&amp;rsquo;s Kitchen in pursuit of suspects, and an unlikely trio&amp;mdash;a hard-luck cop, a cub reporter, and an eccentric professor&amp;mdash;all raced to solve the crime.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more sensational trial: an unprecedented capital case hinging on circumstantial evidence around a victim whom the police couldn&amp;rsquo;t identify with certainty, and who the defense claimed wasn&amp;rsquo;t even dead. &lt;i&gt;The Murder of the Century &lt;/i&gt;is a rollicking tale&amp;mdash;a rich evocation of America during the Gilded Age and a colorful re-creation of the tabloid wars that have dominated media to this day.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

As decapitated heads and dismembered body parts surfaced in the Seine, Commissaire Georges-Victor Massu, head of the Brigade Criminelle, was tasked with tracking down the elusive murderer in a twilight world of Gestapo, gangsters, resistance fighters, pimps, prostitutes, spies, and other shadowy figures of the Parisian underworld.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The main suspect was Dr. Marcel Petiot, a handsome, charming physician with remarkable charisma.&amp;nbsp; He was the &amp;ldquo;People&amp;rsquo;s Doctor,&amp;rdquo; known for his many acts of kindness and generosity, not least in providing free medical care for the poor.&amp;nbsp; Petiot, however, would soon be charged with twenty-seven murders, though authorities suspected the total was considerably higher, perhaps even as many as 150.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Who was being slaughtered, and why?&amp;nbsp; Was Petiot a sexual sadist, as the press suggested, killing for thrills?&amp;nbsp; Was he allied with the Gestapo, or, on the contrary, the French Resistance?&amp;nbsp; Or did he work for no one other than himself?&amp;nbsp; Trying to solve the many mysteries of the case, Massu would unravel a plot of unspeakable deviousness.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;When Petiot was finally arrested, the French police hoped for answers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the trial soon became a circus.&amp;nbsp; Attempting to try all twenty-seven cases at once, the prosecution stumbled in its marathon cross-examinations, and Petiot, enjoying the spotlight, responded with astonishing ease.&amp;nbsp; His attorney, Ren&amp;eacute; Floriot, a rising star in the world of criminal defense, also effectively, if aggressively, countered the charges.&amp;nbsp; Soon, despite a team of prosecuting attorneys, dozens of witnesses, and over one ton of evidence, Petiot&amp;rsquo;s brilliance and wit threatened to win the day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Drawing extensively on many new sources, including the massive, classified French police file on Dr. Petiot, &lt;i&gt;Death in the City of Light&lt;/i&gt; is a brilliant evocation of Nazi-Occupied Paris and a harrowing exploration of murder, betrayal, and evil of staggering proportions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In this chilling book, you&amp;#8217;ll read exactly what they were thinking in their own words as they committed horrible crimes. Using court transcripts and police interviews, veteran true-crime and crime-fiction writer Tom Philbin has compiled the testimony of twenty infamous serial killers&amp;#8212;nineteen men and one woman.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For fans of crime stories who look for realism, this book is like no other. The descriptions couldn&amp;#8217;t be more realistic since, in effect, the book is written by the serial killers themselves. Their words range from the bizarre and weirdly fascinating to the revolting and horrific.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In each case, Philbin provides a background profile to give readers a sense of the context from which these monsters emerged. Though they come from different backgrounds, nationalities, and generations, their words do reveal certain common elements. Not one evinces any sense of compassion or sensitivity in regard to their victims. They appear to be unable to control the impulses that lead them to kill. And in many cases, they derive a perverse sexual satisfaction from their deeds.&lt;br&gt;    &lt;br&gt;Taking true-crime reading to a new level of immediacy, this disturbing book offers a glimpse into the worst side of human nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

When the police moved in on Pickton's famous residence, the &amp;quot;pig farm&amp;quot; of Port Coquitlam, in February 2002, the entire 14-acre area was declared a crime scene -- the largest one in Canadian history. Well over 150 investigators and forensics experts were required, including 102 anthropology students from across the country called in to sift through the entire farm, one shovelful of dirt at a time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A woman who is considered by many to be this country's best investigative journalist, Cameron has been thinking about the missing women of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside since 1998, when the occasional newspaper story ran about families and friends of some of the 63 missing women agitating for action -- and being ignored by police and politicians. Robert William &amp;quot;Willie&amp;quot; Pickton has been on her mind since his arrest, that February five years ago, for the murders of two of the women, Mona Wilson and Sereena Abotsway, both drug-addicted prostitutes from the impoverished neighbourhood where all the missing women had connections.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Living half-time in Vancouver for the last five years, Stevie Cameron has come to know many of the people involved in this case, from families of the missing women to the lawyers involved on both sides. She writes not only with tireless investigative curiosity, but also with enormous compassion for the women who are gone and the ones who still struggle to ply their trade on the Downtown Eastside.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;We had no idea [in 2002] how massive the investigation would be. We had no notion that the police would sift every inch of dirt on the Pickton farm, a process that lasted from the spring of 2002 to late 2004. We did not foresee the broad publication ban that would prevent any word printed or broadcast of what was being said in court in case it influenced a potential juror. We couldn't know that there would be, by 2006, 27 charges of first-degree murder against Pickton and that the police would continue to investigate him on suspicion of many other deaths. And we didn't know that the police and other personnel involved in the case, under threat of ruined careers, were forbidden to talk to reporters. In blissful ignorance, all I could do was begin&amp;#8230;&amp;quot; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;--Excerpt from &lt;b&gt;The Pickton File&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Burke makes his case against one Leonard Paradiso.

      <title>Serial Killers and Sadistic Murderers by Jack Levin</title>

In this gripping book, he taps his wealth of experience with the criminal mind to offer lessons for law enforcement and the general public about how serial killers think, as well as the conditions under which hideous murders typically occur. These lessons, he hopes, will lead to more effective ways to thwart such crimes in the future. Levin&amp;#8217;s face-to-face meetings and correspondence with such notorious murderers as the Hillside strangler (Kenneth Bianchi) and Orville Lynn Majors (the male nurse who was convicted of killing numerous patients in his charge) reveal that these types of killers are not motivated by money, revenge, or rage. In fact, the only motivation seems to be a sadistic craving for power and a need to feel in control. Levin also, for the first time, lets down his guard and reveals what it feels like to be seated so close to such cold-blooded killers.&lt;br&gt;Many killers, as Levin points out, are meticulous planners. Levin has found that even in situations that appear spontaneous, for instance a workplace shooting by a disgruntled employee, the deed is carefully thought out and prepared for in advance. Another factor that consistently emerges in conversations with killers who have committed the most heinous of acts is the total absence of remorse or any notion of moral responsibility. Murder appears to be easy for these criminals and they kill with a feeling of complete impunity. Levin also notes the skillfully deceptive facades that such murderers are able to affect. They are extremely adept liars (he admits to having been fooled!), who enjoy playing mind games, even though outwardly they seem above suspicion. This is one reason they are so dangerous and difficult for investigators to track down and prosecute. This chilling glimpse into the minds of some of the worst criminals makes a valuable contribution to criminology and is a must-read for both true-crime buffs and law enforcement professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair&amp;#8217;s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country&amp;#8217;s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his &amp;#8220;World&amp;#8217;s Fair Hotel&amp;#8221; just west of the fairgrounds&amp;#8212;a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;The&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Devil in the White City &lt;/b&gt;draws the listener into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B.

In this audiobook the smoke, romance, and mystery of the Gilded Age come alive as never before.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Erik Larson&amp;#8217;s gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To find out more about this audiobook, go to http://www.DevilInTheWhiteCity.com.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

When the police moved in on Pickton's famous residence, the &amp;quot;pig farm&amp;quot; of Port Coquitlam, in February 2002, the entire 14-acre area was declared a crime scene -- the largest one in Canadian history. Well over 150 investigators and forensics experts were required, including 102 anthropology students from across the country called in to sift through the entire farm, one shovelful of dirt at a time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A woman who is considered by many to be this country's best investigative journalist, Cameron has been thinking about the missing women of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside since 1998, when the occasional newspaper story ran about families and friends of some of the 63 missing women agitating for action -- and being ignored by police and politicians. Robert William &amp;quot;Willie&amp;quot; Pickton has been on her mind since his arrest, that February five years ago, for the murders of two of the women, Mona Wilson and Sereena Abotsway, both drug-addicted prostitutes from the impoverished neighbourhood where all the missing women had connections.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Living half-time in Vancouver for the last five years, Stevie Cameron has come to know many of the people involved in this case, from families of the missing women to the lawyers involved on both sides. She writes not only with tireless investigative curiosity, but also with enormous compassion for the women who are gone and the ones who still struggle to ply their trade on the Downtown Eastside.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;We had no idea [in 2002] how massive the investigation would be. We had no notion that the police would sift every inch of dirt on the Pickton farm, a process that lasted from the spring of 2002 to late 2004. We did not foresee the broad publication ban that would prevent any word printed or broadcast of what was being said in court in case it influenced a potential juror. We couldn't know that there would be, by 2006, 27 charges of first-degree murder against Pickton and that the police would continue to investigate him on suspicion of many other deaths. And we didn't know that the police and other personnel involved in the case, under threat of ruined careers, were forbidden to talk to reporters. In blissful ignorance, all I could do was begin&amp;#8230;&amp;quot; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;--Excerpt from &lt;b&gt;The Pickton File&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
