  During the early 1960s, just as Beatlemania was exploding throughout the United Kingdom, a pair of psychopathic British killers began preying on the very young, innocent, and helpless of Greater Manchester. Between 1963 and 1965, Ian Brady and his lover and partner, Myra Hindley, were responsible for the abduction, rape, torture, and murder of five young victims, ranging in age from ten to seventeen years old. The English press dubbed the grisly series of homicides "the Moors Murders," named for the desolate landscape where three of the corpses were eventually discovered. 
   
   
   
  Based in part on the author's face-to-face prison interviews with the killers, Fred Harrison's fascinating and disturbing true crime masterwork digs deeply into Brady and Hindley's personal histories to examine the factors that led to their mutual attraction and their evolution into the UK's most notorious pair of human monsters. It was during these interviews that new details about the killers' terrible crimes surfaced, compelling the police to reopen what was arguably the most shocking and sensational homicide case in the annuls of twentieth-century British crime. With a new introduction by the author, meticulously researched and compellingly written, Brady and Hindley is the definitive account of Britain's most hated serial killers.

  The Typewriter and the...

  What unfolds between them reveals how truth is shaped, how power operates, and how societies drift toward catastrophe while insisting everything is under control. 
  The Typewriter and the Guillotine is a work of narrative history and true crime that examines prewar Paris through two converging forces: a determined journalist struggling to tell an unwelcome truth, and a murderer whose crimes became a public spectacle just as Europe stood on the edge of collapse. 
  As extremism spread quietly across the continent, Paris clung to its cultural confidence. Cafés were full. Art flourished. Stability felt assured. Yet beneath the glamor, warning signs accumulated—political hesitation, institutional denial, and a growing appetite for distraction. While editors urged restraint and neutrality, the journalist at the center of this story recognized that silence was itself a choice. 
  At the same time, the city became transfixed by the crimes, trial, and execution of a German serial killer—the last man to be publicly executed in France. His violence shocked the nation, but the fascination it inspired revealed something more unsettling: a society more comfortable consuming spectacle than confronting its own unraveling. 
  Told with clarity, restraint, and narrative tension, this book is not merely about what happened, but about how meaning is constructed under pressure. It explores journalism as moral responsibility, crime as a cultural mirror, and power’s ability to decide which truths are amplified, which are postponed, and which are ignored until it is too late. 
  The Typewriter and the Guillotine is for readers of serious history, true crime, and literary nonfiction who want more than facts alone. It is a meditation on attention, courage, and the fragile space where truth still has a chance to matter.

  Atop the Ozark Mountains and in the buckle of the Bible Belt, the murder of an eccentric lawyer reveals a tragic family drama and an examination of a community that would rather see some crimes left unsolved.Rolland Comstock lived in what was described as "a Grimm Fairy tale." With his pet wolves roving the estate and a world-famous book collection to obsess over, Rolland was no ordinary country lawyer. When he was murdered, Rolland's story turned into a tragic mystery—a mystery some in the community did not want to see solved.This intimate true crime tale not only seeks to resolve the question of who killed this man but also to examine his life as well. Beneath his quirky personality, there were secrets and turmoil at odds with the ultra-conservative community Rolland called home. Some were wicked enough to say Rolland got what he deserved. The Wicked Among Us is a legal thriller from the perspective of a tragic victim who can no longer tell the story himself.
