  A groundbreaking, exclusive inside look at the North American Mafia and the Rizzuto family
  		 
  For the first time in Canadian history, a high-ranking Mafioso agreed to break the code of omertà by talking to journalists. From October 2014 to October 2019, Félix Séguin and Eric Thibault held multiple secret meetings with Andrew Scoppa, getting an exclusive inside look at the inner workings of the North American Mafia. This book is the culmination of their perilous investigation. It sheds light on the life — and death — of one of the most influential organized crime figures in recent years.
  		 
  At exactly 2 p.m., there was a knock at the door. It was him: the source every journalist dreamed of having. The short man was armed and placed his gun on the table I’d moved between the bed and a chair.
  		 
  “Are you impressed?” he asked with a broad grin.
  		 
  “Yes. Very much.”
  		 
  Before me was Andrew Scoppa: close confidant of the late godfather Vito Rizzuto, international heroin trafficker and cold-blooded killer.

  Veteran journalists Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge have written the definitive inside look at the Boston Marathon bombing with a unique, Boston-based account of the events that riveted the world. From the Tsarnaev brothers' years leading up to the act of terror to the bomb scene itself (which both authors witnessed firsthand within minutes of the blast), from the terrifying police shootout with the suspects to the ultimate capture of the younger brother, Boston Strong: A City's Triumph over Tragedy reports all the facts—and so much more. 
  Based on months of intensive interviews, this is the first book to tell the entire story through the eyes of those who experienced it. From the cop first on the scene to the detectives assigned to the manhunt, the authors provide a behind-the-scenes look at the investigation.

  If you're only going to read one book on this tragic but uplifting story, this is it.

  Psychopath Killers -...

  This combo consists of two true crime books, which are: 
  Pablo Escobar - One of the big lords of the drug cartels in Colombia is Pablo Escobar, a criminal who became a leader and expanded his influence on organized crime throughout the North and South American continents. With billions in his bank account, in cash, and in other assents, it’s not easy to ignore his name and the power he gained. 
  In 1976, Escobar established the Medellín Cartel, which dispersed powder cocaine, and developed the first smuggling paths into the United States. In the 1982 Colombian parliamentary election, Escobar was chosen as an alternate member of the Chamber of Representatives as part of the Liberal Alternative movement. 
  Edmund Kemper - Initially diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and after a separation of his parents, Edmund Kemper already showed his twisted mind at 15 years old, when he murdered both his grandparents, who were taking care of him. Whether through nature or nurture, this man didn’t show a promising future from the get-go. But perhaps nobody could have suspected the horrors he would inflict on his many victims later in his life. 
  Edmund Kemper, born in 1948, has become a notorious serial killer. He is known for having raped, mutilated, and murdered young women and especially hitchhikers. Being labelled with being a necrophile and a cannibal, his crimes have been exposed, partially by himself, and even though he has requested the death penalty, he is still locked up for life. 
  If this is not enough to pique your interest, then I don’t know what is. Hurry up and start reading or listening to this book.

  It is difficult to imagine a more heinous crime than the sexual abuse of children. Yet, terrifyingly, a new case of child sexual abuse is reported every seven minutes. In response to this crisis, self-appointed groups of citizens are fashioning themselves as pedophile hunters." Operating outside the law, these groups use social media to bait and expose those seeking to engage children sexually, both on- and offline. Their work has been remarkably effective, but at what cost? Following four years of unprecedented access to the UK's most prolific team of pedophile hunters, Mark de Rond offers balanced and insightful answers to the perplexing question of why these groups persist in using extreme methods to hold predators to account in view of less harmful alternatives. In doing so, he invites us to consider the societal impacts of pedophile hunters on our laws and institutions, as well as societal cohesion and safety.
