    Based on the shocking true story of the narco who curated his own capture. 
    In the sun-baked streets of Culiacán, the heartland of the Sinaloa Cartel, a young, brilliant architect named Rodrigo Rios is facing the quiet desperation of a life unfulfilled. Weighed down by debt and disillusioned with the legitimate world, he accepts an offer from his childhood friend, the son of the enigmatic cartel leader Isidro "El Viejo" Cardenas. The offer is simple: use his intelligence and quiet demeanor in service of the cartel. It is a choice that will lead him down a path of unimaginable power and spectacular ruin. 
    Christened "El Fantasma," Rodrigo sheds his old life and becomes the most feared and innovative commander in the organization. He forges an elite crew of assassins, Los Espectros, and wages a brutal war against his rivals. But his true genius lies not in violence, but in branding. He creates a public persona, "Comandante Fantasma," an anonymous narco-celebrity who broadcasts a life of impossible luxury and power on social media. His feed—a curated gallery of supercars, pet tigers, and custom weapons—becomes a viral sensation, making him a legend and a powerful recruiting tool for a new generation. 
    His rise, however, is being meticulously documented by an unseen enemy. In a windowless room in San Diego, DEA Agent David Miller sees the ghost’s digital footprint not as a myth, but as a trail of evidence. As Rodrigo’s fame makes him a target for both jealous rivals and the law, he is drawn into a high-stakes international game of cat and mouse, from the battlefields of Mexico to the luxury suites of Europe. Based on a shocking true story, Where Ghosts Go to Die is a relentless, action-packed thriller about a new kind of criminal for the modern age—a man who built a global empire on a social media account, only to discover that every post, every follower, and every ‘like’ was another bar in the cage being built around him.

    THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A 19TH-CENTURY CIRCUS LEGEND
    On 28 November 1911 a retired showman died violently at his home in North London. Known to the world as Lord George Sanger, he was once the biggest name in show business, and was venerated as a national institution.
    
    The death of Britain's wealthiest showman read like a popular crime thriller: a merciless killer; a famous victim; sensational media headlines; a desperate manhunt laced with police incompetencies and a dramatic denouement few could have anticipated. But for over a century, questions have persisted about the murder.
    
    Weaving in the story of George's rise to fame and the history of Britain's entertainment industry, The Killing of Lord George uses previously unpublished archive material to reconstruct the events leading up to the death and reveal the true story behind the brutal crime that shocked Edwardian England.

    36 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and DeceptionReaders Love This Series - Over 7,000 Five-Star RatingsThree Book Collection: Volumes 7, 8, and 9 of the True Crime Case Histories Series (2022) 
    If you’re a fan of true crime, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the big-name cases; Ted Bundy, BTK, David Berkowitz, Christopher Watts, Diane Downs, Casey Anthony, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jodi Arias, Ed Gein, etc. The list of well-known, notorious cases throughout history is seemingly endless. Books, websites, podcasts, streaming television series, and magazines are filled with their abhorrent tales of mayhem. They’re some of the most foul killers the world has ever known. 
    In my books, I do my best to find stories you may not have heard of. To do this, I count on my readers to send me stories that may have been forgotten and aren't found on the internet. 
    You'll read the story of five-year-old Stephanie Hebert, who walked only three houses down her quiet suburban sidewalk and disappeared forever. Her case went cold for forty years before other children from her neighborhood came forward in their adulthood with information leading to the killer. 
    There’s also the heartbreaking story of a single mom who did the unthinkable for insurance money. 
    Many of the stories in this book feature women killers, three of whom took the time to meticulously dismember their victims—a task that can take great strength. Another woman manipulated her two teenage boys into killing for her. 
    Plus many more disturbing stories. 
    The stories in this volume are shocking and exhibit human behavior at its absolute worst. Pure evil. However, these things really happen in the world. We may never understand what goes on in a killer’s mind, but at least we can be better informed.
