Beschreibung

A spate of suicides—and stories of angel sightings—lead a detective into the dark underbelly of an isolated English village . . . Samantha Jaynes ended her life in a cold lake. Now Rosie Trimble has done the same. Both claimed they had seen an angel. And they’re not the only ones. The series of teenage suicides is rattling the rural community of Kirkdale in England’s Lake District; is it collective hallucination—or is something more sinister leading these young girls to their deaths? That’s a question for Dr Alex Ripley, the so-called Miracle Detective. Brought in to help the police, she finds a community rooted in fear and suspicion, bound by their strange faith, unwilling to help, unable to forgive. The people of Kirkdale have buried their dark past before, and they’re not about to let Alex Ripley dig it up again . . .

    Roger Dean Craig, a Deputy Sheriff in Dallas, found himself unwittingly thrust into history in the fall of 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. His eyewitness account and subsequent testimony would become a crucial piece of the puzzle. Craig was on duty in Dallas on November 22nd. The officer was initially disoriented by the sudden bursts of gunfire however, he quickly moved toward the source - the Texas School Book Depository. It was there, near the grassy knoll, Craig would have an encounter that would later define his role in the assassination. The deputy observed a man running from the building who then left in a station wagon driven by another man. 
     
    Craig saw the man again in the office of Captain Will Fritz. It was the recently arrested Lee Harvey Oswald. When the officer told his story about the man being picked up Oswald replied: "That station wagon belongs to Mrs. Paine... Don't try to tie her into this. She had nothing to do with it." Craig was also with Seymour Weitzman, Will Fritz, Eugene Boone, and Luke Mooney when the historic rifle was found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Craig insisted the rifle was a 7.65 Mauser and not a Mannlicher-Carcano. 
     
    His testimony became crucial in the Warren Commission's investigation into Kennedy's assassination. Craig's account differed greatly from the official narrative, and he faced considerable pressure and scrutiny. Standing firm Craig found himself at odds with the official findings. Over the years, he faced many personal and professional challenges as a result of his involvement in this historic event. Craig spoke out about his experiences, even authoring a book titled "When They Kill a President," in which he detailed his observations and the difficulties he faced in the aftermath of that tragic day. This is his riveting untold story!
