The Impostor Heiress - Cassie...

Annie Reed

Before there was Anna Delvey or Elizabeth Holmes, there was Cassie Chadwick. The first woman–using criminal cunning, some confidence, and a bit of charm—to bring down a federal agent, a bank, and a city's worth of men. 
 
 
 
Cassie Chadwick, one of history's most successful con artists, was a master of the trade. She swept from town to town, assuming new identities and running new swindles at each railroad stop. In the dusk of the Gilded Age, years after the robber barons had amassed their fortunes, she was amassing her own. 
 
 
 
Using her wits and a series of forged documents, Cassie convinced prominent men from Cleveland to New York City that she was Andrew Carnegie's illegitimate daughter. The con made her impossibly rich. The crash shattered banks and bankers alike. Her sensational trial drew the eyes of a nation that couldn't get enough of the woman, who newspapers called the Queen of Swindlers, the Duchess of Diamonds, the High Priestess of Fraudulent Finance. 
 
 
 
Interspersing Cassie's crimes with stories of an unsuspecting Andrew Carnegie, author Annie Reed spins an enthralling tale of true crime. Could the rumors be true? Can Cassie's money last? Will she escape the electric chair?

The Golden State Killer Case

William Thorp

In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
 
 
 
Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
 
 
 
William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.

Kim Goldman, Tatsha Robertson

Imagine losing a loved one in the public eye.   A media frenzy ensues and spreads your family name through the news. Reporters ambush you, and across the country, strangers gossip about your personal loss.   Welcome to the circus.   No one understands better than Kim Goldman the complex emotions of individuals suffering a personal tragedy under the relentless gaze of the media. During the famed O.J.

Unsolved Mysteries - Uncovering...

John Harpoon

This book consists of two titles: 
- The Kraken: The Kraken, a legendary sea monster whose name evokes images of terror and fascination, has captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. First emerging from the shadows of Scandinavian folklore, this giant creature—often described as a massive octopus or squid—has become one of the most iconic symbols of the unknown depths of the ocean. The allure of the Kraken lies in its mysterious nature, its ability to stir both fear and wonder, and the enduring question: is it merely a myth, or could there be some truth behind the legend? 
- The World's Youngest Criminal Genius: In the annals of crime, there are few figures as captivating or as puzzling as Michael McCrudden, often dubbed "The World's Youngest Criminal Genius." This title, given by the media and sensationalized through various reports, paints a picture of a brilliant, almost calculating young mind who orchestrated elaborate criminal schemes before reaching adulthood. But who was Michael McCrudden really, and what drove him to the heights of criminality at such a tender age? The concept of a "criminal genius" is fraught with paradoxes. On one hand, it invokes admiration for the ingenuity behind complex scams and heists, while on the other, it raises questions about morality, ethics, and the law. McCrudden’s story is one of talent gone awry, where a sharp intellect that could have achieved greatness in legitimate fields was instead channeled into subversive and illegal activities. His life forces us to grapple with uncomfortable truths about how society sometimes rewards intelligence in the wrong contexts.
