In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes. The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. A little before 7 a.m., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City’s east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road.By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.

    'If you made me angry, to me, for that anger to go away, I have to get hold of you ... I have to do something to you.' 
    'I didn't feel myself. I felt numb, like a zombie, like a switch had been flicked and a light had gone off.' 
    These are the words of some of South Africa's most terrifying serial killers, who spoke to psychologist Brin Hodgskiss in the bowels of the country's most secure prisons. 
    Hodgskiss interviewed several of the most notorious serial killers and his recordings sat gathering dust until recently, when top true-crime podcaster Nicole Engelbrecht found his research online. The two connected and now they bring their love of storytelling to this highly readable book. 
    In Killer Stories, Hodgskiss combines his interviews with the tenets of narrative psychology to take the reader into the minds of the killers and shares with us the ways in which his own journey as a psychologist and human being contributed to his deeper understanding of them. The book intertwines the killers' versions of the truth and the true-crime stories behind them, re-telling their killing sprees in gripping detail. 
    Journey with the authors as they lay out how the stories these men told themselves about their lives contributed to where they ended up – and how those stories aren't that different from those we all tell ourselves.

    In 1922, three of the Irish Republican Army's top gunmen arrived in New York City seeking ven­geance. Their target: "Cruxy" O'Connor, a young Irishman who kept switching sides as revolution swept his country in the wake of World War I. Cruxy's last betrayal dealt a blow to Ireland's struggle for independence: six of his IRA comrades were killed when he told police the location of their safe house. A year later, the IRA gunned him down before a crowd of horrified New Yorkers. 
     
     
     
    Based primarily on first-hand accounts, most of them never before published, Ambush at Central Park is a cinematic exploration of the enigma of "Cruxy" O'Connor. 
     
     
     
    Author Mark Bulik delved through Irish government archives, newspaper accounts, census data, and unpublished material from the families of the main actors. Together they add to the story of a rebel ambush, a deadly police raid, a dinner laced with poison, a daring prison break, a boatload of tommy guns, an unlikely pair of spies who fall in love, and an assassination plot against the British cabinet. 
     
     
     
    Here is a forgotten chapter of Irish and New York history: the story of the only officially authorized IRA attack on American soil. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    “Mr Punch is going from strength to strength, continuing their good run of classy audio… Jemma Redgrave gives a spirited performance… with a high calibre cast”  Talking Business 
     
    In the annals of British justice, there exists a story that has stood the test of time, a tale of passion, despair, and a fateful twist of destiny. In the turbulent summer of 1955, the nation held its collective breath as Ruth Ellis, a mother of two, faced conviction for the calculated murder of her unfaithful lover, David Blakely. 
     
    This is the gripping true story of a woman on the edge. 
     
    Drawing exclusively from the original trial transcripts, eyewitness testimonies and contemporary reports, we invite you to join the jury at the Old Bailey tasked with unravelling the truth behind the events leading up to that fatal Easter Sunday when Mrs Ellis fired six fatal shots, shattering the calm of Hampstead and sealing her place in history as the last woman to be hanged in Britain. 
     
    Almost seven decades since her execution, Ruth Ellis's story still captivates and haunts. Who was this former model and nightclub hostess who dared to venture into the elite world of 1950s London? Why did she endure an abusive liaison with the charismatic yet dangerous racing driver David Blakely? What compelled her to take the life of the man she loved? 
     
    Starring JEMMA REDGRAVE as Ruth Ellis with Terence Edmond, David Goodland, Mark Hadfield, Jenny Howe, Jeffrey Segal, Robin Welch, Andrew Wincott and full supporting cast

    This book contains the following four titles: 
    - The Cereal Killer: The invention of breakfast cereal marked a turning point in modern eating habits, blending health-conscious innovation with industrial progress. During the late 19th century, many Americans consumed heavy, meat-based breakfasts, which were criticized by health reformers for contributing to widespread digestive issues and lethargy. It was against this backdrop that breakfast cereal was born—a light, convenient, and nutritious alternative that would revolutionize morning meals. 
    - The Millennial Methuselah: The story of the woman destined for a millennium begins in an unassuming town, far removed from the glare of the modern world. Born in an era where tradition met the dawn of technological innovation, her arrival into the world was marked by a profound sense of wonder. Family and friends often recalled the unusual calmness that surrounded her birth, as if the universe had whispered its secrets into her soul. 
    - Perplexing Passings: Unsolved mysteries hold a unique and enduring fascination, inviting us into a world where questions linger and definitive answers seem perpetually out of reach. These enigmas, spanning unexplained deaths, puzzling disappearances, and baffling phenomena, captivate our imagination by defying the order and logic we strive to impose on life. Each unresolved case becomes more than a story; it transforms into a puzzle that teases the intellect and stirs the emotions. 
    - The Unreachable Riches: Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations.
