Sinopse

The "Tamam Shud Case" explores the perplexing death of an unidentified man discovered on Somerton Beach, Australia, in 1948. This true crime mystery, steeped in Australian history, has endured for decades due to its baffling details and lack of resolution. The book meticulously examines the available evidence, from forensic findings to cryptic codes, to shed light on this cold case.

One intriguing aspect is the scrap of paper found with the body bearing the Persian phrase "Tamam Shud," meaning "ended," taken from "The Rubaiyat," which adds layers of complexity to the man's identity and purpose.

The book progresses methodically, first establishing the historical context of post-World War II Australia. It then reconstructs the timeline of events, from the initial discovery to the subsequent police inquiry. The book uniquely analyzes the "Rubaiyat" code found within a torn page of the book, exploring potential meanings and connections.

Finally, the book explores the potential espionage angle, drawing upon declassified documents and expert opinions to construct a compelling narrative. Another key element is the possible link to Cold War espionage, raising questions about whether the Somerton Man was a spy operating in a climate of paranoia and secrecy.

By relying on primary source materials like police reports and autopsy records, "Tamam Shud Case" offers a comprehensive, fact-based analysis accessible to those interested in World History and unsolved mysteries. While a definitive answer may remain elusive, the book provides fresh insights and challenges long-held assumptions, making it a valuable resource for anyone captivated by this enduring enigma.

Conflicting Loyalties

Aiden Gabor

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.

Best Copy Available - A True...

Jay Baron Nicorvo

In the winter of 1984, Sharon Nicorvo was violently raped while delivering pizza to Fort Monmouth Army Base in New Jersey. At the same time, her seven-year-old son Jay was being subjected to repeated and secret sexual abuse by his babysitter. Best Copy Available delves into these devastating events and their long aftermath. Thirty years later, Nicorvo receives a photocopy of the criminal investigation report documenting that brutal night. This report offers a primer to better understand certain assumptions about class and race; sex and violence; crime and punishment; low and high culture; sanity, madness, and masculinity; and the facsimile nature of the truth.As various American men―some real, some imagined, all prone to violence―move in and then out of their hardscrabble lives, mother and son spend decades avoiding and ultimately confronting what happened to them in that formative year.Most ambitiously, Best Copy Available lends voice to an alternative version of American boyhood, manhood, and fatherhood. One where the sons of deadbeat dads can grow up to be stay-at-home dads, and where our boys and men may realize that the most courageous show of strength is not the determined use of force. It's knowing when and how to ask for help.
