  What drives someone to commit the unthinkable?
  Austin 1966. Dunblane 1996. Port Arthur 1996. Utøya 2011. 
  In this deeply insightful account, pre-eminent forensic psychiatrist Paul E. Mullen examines the complex psychology behind lone mass killers. With unflinching clarity, he burrows into the minds of these damaged individuals, drawing on his decades of forensic work assessing mass murderers first-hand. 
  Mullen brings readers into a dark landscape populated with killers who have achieved the ugly fame they had sought – in the US, UK, Australia, Norway and beyond – as well as lesser-known, equally chilling cases. He illuminates troubling patterns that unite the perpetrators, such as obsessive rage, personal grievance, fascination with weapons and yearning for infamy, often culminating in suicide. He also considers the impact of media sensationalism on the killers' grandiose fantasies and proposes steps toward better threat assessment and identification of warning signs. 
  Challenging myths around madness and violence, Mullen reveals the unsettling truth: these killers are not incomprehensible monsters, but profoundly disturbed people shaped by knowable forces that, when properly understood, can be countered effectively. Running Amok does not simply examine tragedy; it is a call to action, urging society to confront the shadows and prevent the next horror.

  Edmund Emil Kemper III (born December 18, 1948) is an American serial killer convicted of murdering seven women and one girl between May 1972 and April 1973. Years earlier, at the age of 15, Kemper had murdered his paternal grandparents. Nicknamed the "Co-ed Killer," as most of his non-familial victims were female college students hitchhiking in the vicinity of Santa Cruz County, California, Kemper's murders often included necrophilia, decapitation, dismemberment and possibly cannibalism. Found sane and guilty at his trial in 1973, Kemper requested the death penalty for his crimes, however, capital punishment was suspended in California at the time, and he instead received eight concurrent life sentences. Since then, he has been incarcerated at California Medical Facility in Vacaville. The following recording is from a 1984 jailhouse tv interview.

  Underwater - The Greed-Soaked...

  “Horrifying stuff that we desperately need to know.” — Scott Ostler, sports columnist, San Francisco Chronicle
  		 
  Backed by hundreds of interviews and thousands of pages of USA Swimming files subpoenaed by the FBI, Irvin Muchnick uncovers a generation of cover-ups involving some of the sport’s biggest names
  		 
  The hundreds of millions who watch the thrilling spectacle of the Olympics are unaware of the extent to which their entertainment is undergirded by the systematic abuse by coaches of the underage athletes they develop. Many flag-waving fans gained some sense of the problem from the USA Gymnastics scandals, but for generations, the crimes in swimming have caused a much wider tsunami of pain and trauma around the world.
  		 
  Backed by thousands of pages of FBI files and the author’s independent investigations, Underwater is the first comprehensive account of this ongoing and unacceptable phenomenon. Irvin Muchnick, a well-known chronicler of the dark side of sports, pulls together shocking stories involving some of the most iconic coaches in swimming history and some of the sport’s most celebrated programs — including Michael Phelps’s. The book lays the blame not just at the feet of individual villains but also at a system that casually commodifies and sexualizes the vulnerable and non-consenting, prioritizing the pursuit of athletic scholarships, Olympic medals, glory, and riches.
  		 
  Underwater arrives just as a congressional commission has called for the first fundamental changes in the U.S. youth sports system in half a century. In the author’s estimation, this reform is the only real way to protect kids from the predation of the money-first stewards of professionalized sports.

  As Springfield residents decorated for Halloween in September 1972, the crime rate in the quiet, affluent township was at its lowest in years. That mood was shattered when the body of sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma was discovered in the local woods, allegedly surrounded by strange objects. Some feared witchcraft was to blame, while others believed a serial killer was on the loose. Rumors of a police coverup ran rampant, and the case went unsolved along with the murders of several other young women. Now, four decades after Jeannette DePalma's tragic death, authors Jesse P. Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of this shocking cold case.
