Vasundhra Bose, Indrani Mukerjea

You've seen the headlines and heard the rumours. Now hear the story from the woman who was at the centre of it all.

25 AUGUST 2015 was to be a happy day for Indrani Mukerjea-a birthday celebration had been planned in the family. But everything changed when she was accosted by a group of officers of the Mumbai Police in plain clothes as she exited Anand Ashram that day. The charge: the murder of her daughter, Sheena Bora.
As the news spread and more details unravelled, Indrani found herself in the middle of a sensational murder investigation. A fast-expanding list of suspects, the beginnings of a sinister plot, and the strong whiff of scandal-the media had smelt blood. And, soon, Indrani was under the merciless glare of journalists and television anchors, making her a household name. Accusations of filicide, broken marriages, a mighty business empire, the gilded lives of the rich and famous, powerful politicians, and a complicated family-this case had it all. As a constant feed of images and updates from the trial bombarded television screens across the country, people across the country grew more and more curious about this woman who was at the very heart of the controversy and stories swirling around.
In her memoir, Unbroken, Indrani doesn't hold back. From her childhood in Guwahati, the time she spent in Calcutta in the 1980s to her meteoric rise as a media baron in Mumbai, the city of dreams, and finally, the 2460 days she spent in Byculla jail as prisoner number 1468-this is her journey, in her own words, for the very first time.
Told with unflinching honesty, Indrani's memoir speaks to the fragility of human relationships, the devastating aftermath of betrayal and grief, and the power of human resilience, of a woman who despite it all remains unbroken.

South End Syndicate - How I Took...

Anthony Arillotta, Joe Bradley

In 2003, local Genovese family captain "Big Al" Bruno got shot five times with a .45 caliber handgun as he walked out of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel social club in Springfield, Massachusetts. Since Vito Genovese took his empire north from New York City, a string of mobsters dating back a hundred years have operated in the Greater Springfield area. With this migration came murders, mayhem, treachery, criminal trials, and constant corruption. 
 
 
 
Not until 2010 did authorities charge new Springfield Genovese boss Anthony "Bingy" Arillotta with Bruno's murder. At the time, Arillotta's connections spanned the Northeast—from the Patriarca family in Rhode Island to the Angiulos in Boston to the Gambinos and Bonannos in New York, and from Billy Grasso and Whitey Tropiano in New Haven to Whitey Bulger's Winter Hill Gang. During his seven-year reign, Arillotta had beautiful women, total power, and millions in cash. But it eventually came with a devastating price. 
 
 
 
South End Syndicate tells the untold story of a young man infatuated with Springfield wiseguys who rose from being a street criminal to becoming his city's Mafia boss. How did a young Italian-American kid from Springfield work his way up the chain to become a Made wiseguy in charge of Western New England? Arillotta, now a free man, tells a timeless tale of power, money, and murder.

Jesse James - The American...

Kelly Mass

Jesse Woodson James is an iconic figure in American history, often romanticized as a daring bank and train robber, a guerrilla fighter, and the notorious leader of the James–Younger Gang. Born on September 5, 1847, in Clay County, Missouri, Jesse grew up in a region known as "Little Dixie," where the culture and values were deeply rooted in Southern traditions. This upbringing played a significant role in shaping his identity and allegiances throughout his life. 
During the American Civil War, James, along with his older brother Frank, became embroiled in the conflict, aligning themselves with pro-Confederate guerrillas known as "bushwhackers." Operating primarily in Missouri and Kansas, these groups were notorious for their brutal tactics against Union soldiers and civilian abolitionists. The brothers became followers of the infamous William Quantrill and "Bloody Bill" Anderson, gaining notoriety for their involvement in violent acts, including the Centralia Massacre in 1864, where numerous Union soldiers and civilians lost their lives in a bloody confrontation.
