Summary

This true crime investigation reveals new information about the sensational murder trial that gripped Nova Scotia—with previously unpublished photos.   Will Sandeson seemed like a model son from a good family. He was a medical student at Nova Scotia’s Dalhousie University. He worked at a group home for adults with disabilities. Then he was arrested for the murder of fellow student Taylor Samson in August of 2015.   Samson lived in a fraternity house near Dalhousie. When he disappeared without a trace, the investigation eventually led to Sandeson. But Sandeson’s trial was blown open by a private investigator accused of switching sides. In the process, a dangerous world of drugs, ambition, and misplaced loyalties was revealed. In First Degree, award-winning journalist Kayla Hounsell tells the full story of two young men who appeared destined for bright futures—until their lives took a dark turn.

    A shocking true story of crime, punishment, and injustice in a major American city.   Charles Stuart claimed it was a black man who carjacked him, shooting both himself and his wife, ending both her life and the life of their unborn child. The accusation and subsequent manhunt enflamed the long-simmering racial tensions of Boston, leading to the arrest of an innocent man. It was then discovered that Stuart had killed his wife and shot himself to cover up the crime, seeking a big insurance payout. When his crimes were exposed, Stuart jumped off a bridge to his death.   Ken Englade explores the story with panoramic vision and a stunning eye for detail. Looking at the crime itself and the police response, Englade shows how Stuart’s crime unraveled, how the truth came out, and what the media’s response can tell us about the biases through which we view the worst of crimes.

    Sandy Hook Elementary School 
    Newtown, Connecticut 
    We remember the numbers: 20 children and 6 adults, murdered in a place of nurture and trust. We remember the names: teachers like Victoria Soto, who lost her life protecting her students. A shooter named Adam Lanza. And we remember the questions: outraged conjecture instantly monopolized the worldwide response to the tragedy, while the truth went missing. 
    Here is the definitive journalistic account of Newtown, an essential examination of the facts—not only of that horrific day but the perfect storm of mental instability and obsession that preceded it and, in the aftermath of unspeakable heartbreak, the controversy that continues to play out on the national stage. Drawn from previously undisclosed emails, police reports, and in-depth interviews, Newtown: An American Tragedy breaks through a miasma of misinformation with its comprehensive and astonishing portrayal. 
     This is the vital story that must be told today if we are to prevent another American tragedy in the days to come. 
    A portion of the proceeds from this audiobook will be donated to the Avielle Foundation.
