  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.

  This book contains the following titles: 
  - The Swift Conquest: The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party did not occur in isolation but was the culmination of a confluence of societal, economic, and political factors. Post-World War I Germany was a nation in turmoil, grappling with humiliation, economic devastation, and political instability. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, placed the blame for the war squarely on Germany's shoulders, imposing severe reparations that crippled its economy. The German people, burdened by hyperinflation, unemployment, and poverty, became disillusioned with the democratic Weimar Republic, which they perceived as weak and ineffectual. 
  - The Most Enigmatic Woman in History: Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in history. For over two millennia, her name has conjured images of beauty, cunning, and power. Yet the true Cleopatra is shrouded in layers of myth, propaganda, and speculation. She was not merely a seductress as often portrayed but a scholar, a diplomat, and a leader who navigated a tumultuous era in ancient history with remarkable skill.

  What’s Done Cannot Be Undone: A...

  Athena Stevens

  This is not an inspirational memoir. This is not trauma porn. This is a memoir about the forces that impact our lives, both good and bad. 
  Athena Stevens has never learned the name of the doctor whose lack of intervention at her birth lead to her cerebral palsy, but she feels the consequences of his actions – and inaction – every day. The factor observed first and foremost in her life will forever be the effects of what other people have done to her, rather than her accomplishments. And yet, she was groomed to believe that she would overcome any force that stood in her way. 
  A memoir like no other, What’s Done Cannot be Undone takes readers on a whirlwind journey through Athena’s life, providing a profound insight into the realities of moving through the world as a disabled woman. From being born ‘dead’ to co-founding the Women’s Equality Party; from not being picked to play the back of a cow to an Olivier Award nomination, this complex, lyrical, gut-punch of a memoir is laugh-out-loud funny, unrelentingly furious, and a powerful reminder that changing the world singlehandedly is as impossible as defying the laws of physics. 
  In What’s Done Cannot be Undone, Athena Stevens, a renowned figure in the arts and entertainment industry, shares her life story, a compelling mix of autobiography and social commentary. Her memoir is a powerful reminder of the importance of activism and justice in our society.
