  Executed? Isn't that an exaggeration? She's still breathing, isn't she?The term is borrowed from Per Lindeberg, who wrote the definitive book on the infamous dismemberment murder case. He speaks of a "social execution." Birgitte Bonnesen, former CEO of Swedbank, has been socially executed. She was fired, her contract with the bank was terminated by Göran Persson without any stated reason. She has been publicly shamed in the press for months and years. First acquitted, then convicted of gross fraud.In the dismemberment case, at least there was a crime to be innocent of. Here, there is nothing—except journalists who get everything wrong, legal authorities eagerly acting as the mob's enforcers, and a court that fails to understand the very evidence it relies on to convict.Yes, executed. This is a horror story.

Teresa ran a thriving medical practice specializing in anti-aging and holistic care. Mark, a former nurse, managed the business while home-schooling their two daughters. Then, in June 2015, the unimaginable happened: Teresa was found murdered in their kitchen.Mark's alibi was airtight. He and the girls were in New York on a family vacation. Initial signs pointed to a burglary gone wrong, but it soon became clear that the attack was targeted. The Sievers' friends and relatives were shocked. Teresa was a respected, charismatic physician, nicknamed a "modern-day Mother Teresa." Yet someone hated her enough to bludgeon her to death.Cracks appeared beneath the glossy surface of the Sievers' lives. Teresa's quest for fame had led her to make some questionable decisions. The couple's marriage was passionate but volatile. Then there was Mark's childhood best friend, who looked so much like him that the two were often mistaken for twins. The bond between the two men was intense and intimate.In a compelling narrative that goes beyond conventional true crime tropes, author and psychoanalyst Mikita Brottman delves into a case that encompasses both obsessive love and deep hatred, probing the corrosive, sometimes deadly nature of both.

  On October 7, 1964, Debra Miller's life turns upside down when her mother is arrested for the murder of her father. At only fourteen years old, Debra becomes a ward of the court, grappling with the unfathomable trauma of watching her mother's trial and conviction—a devastation that is only amplified when her family's tragedy is splashed across headlines and featured in Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem.Desperate to escape the notoriety of her family and utterly ill equipped to face the world, Debra spends her young adulthood sinking into mental illness, toxic relationships, and substance abuse. Meanwhile, her unrepentant mother, Lucille, uses Debra to supply contraband in prison. When Lucille is released, twentysomething Debra, seeking the love and support she so desperately desires, moves in with her—only to find herself constantly manipulated and dragged into her mother's illegal activities. Debra spends years trying to escape her mother's vortex even as she battles her own demons. Ultimately, it's only when Lucille passes away that Debra finally frees herself from her grip—and realizes she needs to change her life.In this raw and poignant memoir, Debra Miller bares the scars of an adolescence and adulthood shaped by the impact of a destructive mother and demonstrates that healing is always possible.

  The Unsolved Murder Of John...

  In May 1975, a quiet Midwestern town was shaken by a crime it has never been able to explain.
   
  Inside his Centralia home, John Shakespeare—a wealthy and well-known local figure—was found dead in his basement. He had been restrained, partially unclothed, and shot in a way that suggested planning rather than sudden violence. The killing stunned the community and raised questions that remain unanswered decades later.
   
  Shakespeare was an unusual presence in town. A lifelong bachelor and heir to a fortune, he lived comfortably yet privately. Known for his distinct habits and passion for rare automobiles, he was both familiar and difficult to fully understand. Behind his public image were personal details few truly knew.
   
  The investigation drew in local, state, and federal authorities. Detectives pursued multiple leads, examining business ties, personal relationships, and reports of unfamiliar individuals near the time of the murder. Suspects emerged and theories shifted, but no arrest was ever made.
   
  The Unsolved Murder of John Shakespeare offers a careful examination of the case. It reconstructs the events, analyzes the evidence, and follows the investigation’s many turns while separating fact from speculation. Rather than claiming a solution, it focuses on why the search for answers stalled.
   
  This true crime account explores a murder defined by both brutality and uncertainty, showing how unanswered questions, limited evidence, and time left a crime unresolved—and a town forever changed.

  "Anyone can commit a murder, but it takes an artist to commit a suicide." – Old KGB saying
  The high-profile death of government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly twenty-one years ago, amid the tumult of Britain's controversial invasion of Iraq, plunged the New Labour government into crisis and led to the resignation of the BBC's director general. An informal inquiry chaired by Lord Hutton into the circumstances surrounding Kelly's death cleared the government of wrongdoing but was widely dismissed as a whitewash.
  The Strange Death of David Kelly argues that neither the medical evidence nor David Kelly's state of mind and personality supported the verdict of suicide.
  Analysing the official process instigated after Kelly's death, putting the entire episode into its political context and scrutinising the actions of the government in launching the Iraq War, this new edition of the instant bestseller is fully updated to include the latest evidence and theories surrounding this most mysterious and political of deaths.
