THE Killing Henrietta - A Young Widow’s Final Days in a Southern Maryland Town That Hid the Truth

Goninan Andrew

Synopsis

In December 1959, a young widow was found dead in her home in a quiet Southern Maryland town. Her body showed signs of violence. Her home told a different story. Within days, officials ruled her death a suicide, closed the case, and moved on.But the facts never added up.Killing Henrietta is a carefully researched true crime investigation into the death of Henrietta Ragan—a case shaped not only by what happened to her, but by what powerful people chose to ignore. Through historical records, overlooked evidence, and long-buried testimony, this book exposes how influence, reputation, and fear can stop justice before it ever begins.This is not a sensational retelling. It is a factual reconstruction of a case marked by missing evidence, rushed conclusions, and silence enforced at every level—law enforcement, local government, the church, and the press. It examines how a woman’s independence and reputation were used to dismiss clear signs of homicide, and how an entire community benefited from keeping the truth buried.Inside this book, readers will uncover:Why the official ruling failed to match the physical evidenceHow key witnesses were never interviewed—and whyWhat evidence disappeared and who had access to itHow local power structures shaped the outcomeWhy this case was never meant to be reopenedKilling Henrietta is also a study of how women were treated when their lives challenged social expectations—and how that treatment followed them into death. It shows how silence becomes policy, how fear protects the connected, and how time does not erase responsibility.This book is for readers who want more than surface-level crime stories. It is for those who want to understand how justice can be quietly denied, and why some cases stay unresolved not because the truth is unknown—but because it is inconvenient.If you believe cold cases still deserve accountability, if you care about facts over comfort, and if you want to understand how real crimes are hidden in plain sight, this book is essential reading.Get your copy today and see the case the town tried to forget—clearly, fully, and without excuses.

Breaking the Bombers - How the...

Mark Shaw

‘Mark Shaw is the foremost analyst of organised crime in SA.’ – Jonny Steinberg 
At the dawn of the country’s brave new democracy, Cape Town was at war. Pagad, which began as a community protest action against crime, had mutated into a sinister vigilante group wreaking death and destruction across the city. Between 1996 and 2001, there were hundreds of bomb blasts – most infamously at the Planet Hollywood restaurant at the V&A Waterfront – and countless targeted hits on druglords and gang bosses. 
The police scrambled desperately to respond. The new ANC government was shaken. Citizens of Cape Town lived in fear. Who could save the city? 
Mark Shaw tells the incredible tale of how former foes – struggle cadres and the apartheid security apparatus – pulled together to break the Pagad death squads. Out of this crisis emerged the elite law enforcement unit, the Scorpions. 
It is a story that has never been told in full. Now many involved have broken their silence about this pivotal chapter in South Africa’s history, which offers far-reaching lessons on how to deal with organised crime today.
