It was also rife with organized crime, with a mayor in the pocket of the syndicates and a DA taking bribes to throw trials. In &lt;i&gt;A Bright and Guilty Place&lt;/i&gt;, Richard Rayner narrates the entwined lives of two men, Dave Clark and Leslie White, who were caught up in the crimes, murders, and swindles of the day. Over a few transformative years, as the boom times shaded into the Depression, the adventures of Clark and White would inspire pulp fiction and replace L.A.&amp;#8217;s reckless optimism with a new cynicism. Together, theirs is the tale of how the city of sunshine got noir. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When &lt;i&gt;A Bright and Guilty Place&lt;/i&gt; begins, Leslie White is a na&amp;#239;ve young photographer who lands a job as a crime-scene investigator in the L.A. district attorney&amp;#8217;s office. There he meets Dave Clark, a young, movie-star handsome lawyer and a rising star prosecutor with big ambitions. The cases they tried were some of the first &amp;#8220;trials of the century,&amp;#8221; starring dark-hearted oil barons, sexually perverse starlets, and hookers with hearts of gold. Los Angeles was in the grip of organized crime, and White was dismayed to see that only the innocent paid while the powerful walked free. But Clark was entranced by L.A.&amp;#8217;s dangerous lures and lived the high life, marrying a beautiful woman, wearing custom-made suits, yachting with the rich and powerful, and jaunting off to Mexico for gambling and girls. In a shocking twist, when Charlie Crawford, the Al Capone of L.A., was found dead, the chief suspect was none other than golden boy Dave Clark. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Bright and Guilty Place &lt;/i&gt;is narrative nonfiction at its most gripping. Key to the tale are the story of the theft of water from the Owens River Valley that let L.A grow; the Teapot Dome scandal that brought shame to President Harding; and the emergence of crime writers like Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain, who helped mythologize L.A. In Rayner&amp;#8217;s hands, the ballad of Dave Clark is the story of the coming of age of a great American city.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Intriguing, riveting, and compelling, it tells the story of an investigative journalist who sets out to examine the world of match-fixing in professional soccer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the Introduction&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Understand how gambling fixers work to corrupt a soccer game and you will understand how they move into a basketball league, a cricket tournament, or a tennis match (all places, by the way, that criminal fixers have moved into). My views on soccer have changed. I still love the Saturday-morning game between amateurs: the camaraderie and the fresh smell of grass. But the professional game leaves me cold. I hope you will understand why after reading the book. I think you may never look at sport in the same way again.&lt;/i&gt;&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>

At runs and clubhouses, between rides and riots, Dobyns befriends bad-ass bikers, meth-fueled &amp;#8220;old ladies,&amp;#8221; gun fetishists, psycho-killer ex-cons, and even some of the &amp;#8220;Filthy Few&amp;#8221;&amp;#8211;the elite of the Hells Angels who&amp;#8217;ve committed extreme violence on behalf of their club. Eventually, at parties staged behind heavily armed security, he meets legendary club members such as Chuck Zito, Johnny Angel, and the godfather of all bikers, Ralph &amp;#8220;Sonny&amp;#8221; Barger. To blend in with them, he gets full-arm ink; to win their respect, he vows to prove himself a stone-cold killer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hardest of all is leading a double life, which has him torn between his devotion to his wife and children, and his pledge to become the first federal agent ever to be &amp;#8220;fully patched&amp;#8221; into the Angels&amp;#8217; near-impregnable ranks. His act is so convincing that he comes within a hairsbreadth of losing himself.  Eventually, he realizes that just as he&amp;#8217;s been infiltrating the Hells Angels, they&amp;#8217;ve been infiltrating him. And just as they&amp;#8217;re not all bad, he&amp;#8217;s not all good.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Reminiscent of Donnie Brasco&amp;#8217;s uncovering of the true Mafia, this is an eye-opening portrait of the world of bikers&amp;#8211;the most in-depth since Hunter Thompson&amp;#8217;s seminal work&amp;#8211;one that fully describes the seductive lure criminal camaraderie has for men who would otherwise be powerless outsiders. Here is all the nihilism, hate, and intimidation, but also the freedom&amp;#8211;and, yes, brotherhood&amp;#8211;of the only truly American form of organized crime.&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>

Billy then climbed the stairs to the bedroom of his other sister, Jody, and said, &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re free.&amp;#8221; But is one ever free after an unredeemable act of violence? In this mesmerizing book&amp;#8211;based on interviews with Billy and Jody as well as with friends, police, and social workers involved in the case&amp;#8211;bestselling writer Kathryn Harrison brilliantly uncovers the true story behind this shocking crime and examines the extent as well as the limits of psychic resilience in the aftermath of tragedy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

But, bored with his straight, prestigious accounting job, Paul soon went freelance as an international smuggler. He also revealed his boredom with conventional sex--enough so that, one Christmas Eve, he persuaded his wife to drug her own sister and engage in a menage a trois, during which the sister died (a bungling coroner ruled her death accidental).The couple then upped the ante, kidnapping and imprisoning several high school girls for sexual marathons, which they videotaped before savagely murdering their captives. When the girls' bodies were found, the police were stymied (although Paul had been accused of rape and given a DNA test that vanished for two years and only recently was linked to some fifty sexual-assault cases) until Karla tried to have her husband arrested for wife beating. During questioning, she confessed to the crimes and is now serving two concurrent twelve-year sentences for manslaughter in exchange for testifying against her husband who was jailed for life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

What if you learned as a teenager that the father who had mistreated you for years wasn&amp;#8217;t your father at all&amp;#8211;and that you were actually born to the mistress of a Greek gangster? And what if the only way to connect with your real father was to become his fiercest rival?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kevin Cunningham grew up in Tarpon Springs, Florida, just another kid from the wrong side of the tracks. But from his first days, Kevin gravitated toward power, and in Tarpon Springs that meant local crime boss Lukie Pappas. As a boy, Kevin hung out at the Pappas Restaurant, and he saw how the townspeople approached Lukie. How they respected him. How they came to him for help. How they called him nounos&amp;#8211;Greek for &amp;#8220;godfather.&amp;#8221; From the shadows, Kevin admired it all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When he turned seventeen, Kevin&amp;#8217;s world flipped upside down. His dying father confessed that Kevin was the son of another man&amp;#8211;and not just any man. He was the son of Lukie Pappas. Suddenly, Kevin&amp;#8217;s destiny was clear. His lineage became his fate. His rightful place was beside the Greek godfather who ruled his hometown. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But Lukie coldly rejected him, as both a son and a colleague. Fueled by rage and pride, Kevin claimed the Pappas name as his own and embarked on his own criminal enterprise. From two-bit swindling he rose quickly to high-stakes drug trafficking. Money laundering, gunrunning, and racketeering polished his underworld r&amp;#233;sum&amp;#233;, even as they placed him squarely in the crosshairs of every federal agency with three initials and a most-wanted list. And when he got caught, Kevin&amp;#8217;s time behind bars only honed his criminal instinct, hardened his resolve, and cemented his reputation as a larger-than-life outlaw who sometimes went down but could never be taken out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Still in his early twenties but as powerful as any crime boss, Kevin surrounded himself with an elite group, a posse that called itself the Band of Five. Flush with fast cars, boats, planes, and women, they wanted for nothing, but their antics invited violent attempts to bring Kevin to his senses&amp;#8211;or at least to his knees. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More than a gripping tale, &lt;b&gt;Godfather of Night&lt;/b&gt; unveils the Greek American crime syndicate and its close alignment to power and takes readers to a dark place where family secrets collide with high-level crime and corruption. Kevin Pappas&amp;#8217;s story is a true-crime epic for a new generation of wiseguys&amp;#8211;full of the harrowing war stories and hard-won wisdom of a man who lived by his own rules, broke everyone else&amp;#8217;s, and dared the world to try to stop him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

What if you learned as a teenager that the father who had mistreated you for years wasn&amp;#8217;t your father at all&amp;#8211;and that you were actually born to the mistress of a Greek gangster? And what if the only way to connect with your real father was to become his fiercest rival?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kevin Cunningham grew up in Tarpon Springs, Florida, just another kid from the wrong side of the tracks. But from his first days, Kevin gravitated toward power, and in Tarpon Springs that meant local crime boss Lukie Pappas. As a boy, Kevin hung out at the Pappas Restaurant, and he saw how the townspeople approached Lukie. How they respected him. How they came to him for help. How they called him nounos&amp;#8211;Greek for &amp;#8220;godfather.&amp;#8221; From the shadows, Kevin admired it all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When he turned seventeen, Kevin&amp;#8217;s world flipped upside down. His dying father confessed that Kevin was the son of another man&amp;#8211;and not just any man. He was the son of Lukie Pappas. Suddenly, Kevin&amp;#8217;s destiny was clear. His lineage became his fate. His rightful place was beside the Greek godfather who ruled his hometown. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But Lukie coldly rejected him, as both a son and a colleague. Fueled by rage and pride, Kevin claimed the Pappas name as his own and embarked on his own criminal enterprise. From two-bit swindling he rose quickly to high-stakes drug trafficking. Money laundering, gunrunning, and racketeering polished his underworld r&amp;#233;sum&amp;#233;, even as they placed him squarely in the crosshairs of every federal agency with three initials and a most-wanted list. And when he got caught, Kevin&amp;#8217;s time behind bars only honed his criminal instinct, hardened his resolve, and cemented his reputation as a larger-than-life outlaw who sometimes went down but could never be taken out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Still in his early twenties but as powerful as any crime boss, Kevin surrounded himself with an elite group, a posse that called itself the Band of Five. Flush with fast cars, boats, planes, and women, they wanted for nothing, but their antics invited violent attempts to bring Kevin to his senses&amp;#8211;or at least to his knees. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More than a gripping tale, &lt;b&gt;Godfather of Night&lt;/b&gt; unveils the Greek American crime syndicate and its close alignment to power and takes readers to a dark place where family secrets collide with high-level crime and corruption. Kevin Pappas&amp;#8217;s story is a true-crime epic for a new generation of wiseguys&amp;#8211;full of the harrowing war stories and hard-won wisdom of a man who lived by his own rules, broke everyone else&amp;#8217;s, and dared the world to try to stop him.&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>

After years of struggle to reach this point, they finally felt their future held promise. But on April 23, 2006, their bodies were discovered in their basement, covered in savage stab wounds. Upstairs, Jacob lay dead on his bed, his toys spattered with blood.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Investigators worried for JR&amp;#8217;s safety, but unknown to them, the pretty honour roll student had been developing a disturbing alter ego online. Runaway Devil professed a fondness for a darker world of death metal music, the goth subculture, and a love for Jeremy Steinke, a twenty-three-year-old high-school dropout who lived in a rundown trailer park. Soon, shocking evidence in JR&amp;#8217;s school locker &amp;#8212; printed here for the first time &amp;#8212; led police to believe the girl was a suspect in her family&amp;#8217;s murders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The case horrified parents everywhere. Journalists Robert Remington and Sherri Zickefoose have been covering it from the beginning, and in &lt;b&gt;Runaway Devil&lt;/b&gt;, they reveal what really happened: the unlikely young love, the teenage rebellion, a troubling world of adolescent drifters, and a small community torn apart by an unthinkable crime.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A modern cautionary tale, &lt;b&gt;Runaway Devil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;is also a chilling portrait of an approval-seeking man smitten with a manipulative young girl &amp;#8212; who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
