  Absolute Madness - A True Story...

  Absolute Madness tells the disturbing true story of Joseph Christopher, a white serial killer who targeted black males and struck fear into the residents of Buffalo and New York City in the 1980s. Dubbed both the .22-Caliber Killer and the Midtown Slasher, Christopher allegedly claimed eighteen victims during a savage four-month spree across the state. 
   
  The investigation, aided by famed FBI profiler John Douglas, drew national attention and biting criticism from Jesse Jackson and other civil rights leaders. The killer, when at last he was unmasked, seemed an unlikely candidate to have held New York in a grip of terror. 
   
  His capture was neither the end of the story nor the end of the racial strife, which flared anew during circuitous prosecutions and judicial rulings that prompted cries of a double standard in the justice system. Both a wrenching true crime story and an incisive portrait of dangerously discordant race relations in America, Absolute Madness also chronicles a lonely, vulnerable man's tragic descent into madness and the failure of the American mental health system that refused his pleas for help.

  On the Road Not Taken is a memoir about the transformational power of music. It begins with a boy growing up in a small town on the Kent coast in the 1970s who learns to play the guitar and dreams of heading out on the open road with a head full of songs. But when the moment comes to make the choice, he is not brave enough to give it a go. 
  Time passes, but the desire to explain the world through songs never goes away. And as the years go by, it gets harder and harder to sing out loud and risk looking like a fool. Eventually, 34 years later, when it feels like time is running out, he walks out onto a stage in front of a theater full of people and begins to sing again. 
  The book is a journey of self-discovery that links the pop hits of Mud, the prog rock of Genesis, the explosion of punk with folk music and contemporary guitar wielding troubadour Frank Turner. There are stories of gigs in living rooms, old people’s homes, pubs, theaters, and festivals as the agony of anxiety makes way for the ecstasy of performance.  On The Road Not Taken is a humorous, life-affirming story about what happens when you finally do the thing you most wanted to do.
