  On July 3, 1972, twenty-four hippies from Clearwater, Florida, set up tents and settled in for the night at Briar Bottom, a public US Forest Service campground in western North Carolina. The impromptu campout was a pit stop for the group on their way to a Rolling Stones concert in Charlotte. Early that evening, they drank beer, smoked marijuana, and listened to rock music as they anticipated the good times that lay ahead. Near midnight, the county sheriff showed up with six deputies, allegedly responding to a noise complaint. They were armed with pistols and five sawed-off 12-gauge shotguns, one of which discharged, killing a young man named Stanley Altland. To this day, no one has been held responsible for the tragic incident, though it happened in front of over a dozen eyewitnesses. 
   
   
   
  Timothy Silver writes the true story of Altland's death and its aftermath, using archival research, interviews with surviving Clearwater campers, and newly unearthed FBI files. A mix of true crime, southern history, and personal storytelling, this book shows how, in the dark of night at a remote mountain campsite, the killing of an innocent man epitomized the suspicion of young people and violence toward the counterculture that gripped the nation in the early 1970s.

  With interviews from key witnesses, authors Dave Shampine and Daniel Boyer recount the grisly story of this New Year's Eve North Country nightmare, which is still shrouded in mystery today. 
   
   
   
  The names Peter, Barbara Ann, and Gerald Egan were familiar to Watertown police before December 31, 1964. The police suspected the trio in a long string of burglaries, and they were under investigation by the FBI for grand theft auto. But on that New Year's night, the Egans were shot execution style at a rest stop off Interstate 81. The gruesome gangland-style killings puzzled local and state police. Theories ranged from a simple confrontation gone awry to a premeditated act of retribution by hardened criminals who feared the Egans would turn state's witness.

  One Bullet, Two Escapes: The James Earl Ray Story That Changed America Forever 
  On April 4, 1968, a single bullet in Memphis, Tennessee, shattered the American dream of racial equality forever. The man behind that bullet was James Earl Ray—professional criminal, master escape artist, and America's most wanted fugitive. 
  This isn't just the story of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. It's the extraordinary tale of a man who defied the impossible: escaping from two of America's most secure prisons, evading a massive FBI manhunt across continents, and challenging the entire justice system with breathtaking audacity. 
  From his criminal childhood in a family of con artists to his legendary bread truck escape from Missouri State Prison, James Earl Ray proved that human cunning could triumph over any security system. When captured and sentenced to life in Brushy Mountain Prison—Tennessee's most impregnable fortress—most thought his story was over. They were wrong. 
  What followed was perhaps the most ingenious prison break attempt in American history: months of digging with a spoon, smuggling tools through coded letters, and a daring nighttime escape that nearly succeeded. But who was James Earl Ray really? Cold-blooded assassin or unwitting pawn in a larger conspiracy? 
  Discover the shocking truth behind America's most controversial crime and the man who became a legend in the criminal underworld.

  Needle Work - Battery Acid...

  A Michigan couple’s affair leads to two grisly murders by heroin injection in this true crime account from the acclaimed author of Lobster Boy. When Carol Giles’s friend Nancy Billiter was found dead—she had been bound, sexually violated, and injected with a lethal dose of battery acid and heroin—detectives in Michigan traced Billiter’s death back to Giles and her boyfriend, Tim Collier. Police also learned that the diabolical duo shared another secret: They had murdered Giles’s husband, Jessie.   Jessie, who had died months before Billiter, was disinterred, and an autopsy proved he’d been given a lethal shot of heroin instead of his prescribed insulin. Homebound and diabetic, Jessie was a heroin dealer. Police determined that Giles—who was fed up with taking care of her husband and children—along with her lover, Collier, had stolen the fatal dose from Jessie’s own drug supply. The cops surmised that Billiter’s death might have been due to her knowledge of the couple’s plot. In their dramatic trial, Giles and Collier turned against each other, but both were eventually convicted of murder.
