Sinossi

Pitcairn Crime explores the fascinating and complex legal history of Pitcairn Island, a remote British territory populated by descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers. This true crime narrative delves into the challenges of applying modern legal standards to an isolated culture with its own unique history and social norms. The book investigates the high-profile sexual assault trials that brought Pitcairn into the international spotlight, raising questions about justice, cultural relativism, and the long arm of international law in isolated communities.

 
The book examines Pitcairn's evolution from a mutineers' haven to a self-governing territory, highlighting how this history influenced legal proceedings and public perception. The narrative analyzes the evidence and legal arguments presented during the trials, revealing the difficulties of enforcing laws across vast geographical distances and cultural divides.

 
It underscores how the trials exposed fundamental tensions between cultural autonomy and universal human rights, impacting Pitcairn's social fabric and its relationship with the outside world. Beginning with Pitcairn's history and culture, the book progresses through the development of its legal system, focusing on the investigation and trials related to sexual offenses. It culminates in a discussion of the trials' long-term impact, offering a unique perspective by combining legal analysis with historical context and cultural sensitivity, making it valuable for those interested in true crime, legal history, and the dynamics of isolated communities.

    The disturbing true story of the notorious Cecil Hotel in downtown LA, by its general manager for a decade and star of the controversial Netflix documentary series Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel.  
     
    When Amy Price took a temporary design job at an Art Deco hotel in Los Angeles to help a friend, she had no idea the path it would lead her down. Before long, she would become manager of the Cecil Hotel, seeking to make it more welcoming and correct its notoriety, not helped by sitting at the foot of Skid Row, or the fact that since its opening in 1927, there had been any number of deaths by suicide, and residents such as serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger. 
    She cared about guests and residents alike, though she faced challenges on many fronts, with over eighty people dying during her decade of service. Among them was Elisa Lam, whose tragic death became the subject of a Netflix documentary series that captivated millions and led to its own controversies and unwarranted personal attacks on Amy. 
    For the first time, Amy delves into her experiences at the Cecil Hotel. Equal parts memoir, true-crime, and cultural history, Behind the Door is essential to understanding one of America’s most enigmatic hotels.

    A memoir of a double life as a Mafia enforcer and a DOJ informant taking down corrupt cops and politicians. 
    Aiden Gabor was still a teenager when Department of Justice agents approached him with an ultimatum: spend his life in prison for racketeering, embezzlement, extortion, and conspiracy to commit murder, or become an undercover agent. 
    Conflicting Loyalties is a sharp, honest memoir in three parts: the bloody life of a mob soldier from outside la famiglia; the death-defying, paranoid existence of an informant bringing down corrupt politicians and police departments from the inside; and unexpectedly finding peace late in life through the Baha’i faith while coping with an ALS diagnosis. 
    Conflicting Loyalties is a visceral tale of a man who gambles with his own life in order to save it, dodging his fate while searching for an identity, a father, and a family. It is for readers of Gianni Russo’s Hollywood Godfather, Joe Pistone’s classic Donnie Brasco, and anyone interested in mob life, police and political corruption, and finding peace after a life of violence.
