  A powerful Czech multimillionaire, Radovan Krejcir fled his home country shortly after his arrest in 2005 on charges of fraud. He arrived on South Africa's shores in 2007, travelling under a fake name with a false passport, and avoiding extradition through pay offs. Krejcir fast began to make a name for himself within South Africa's underworld, but it was the murder of Teazer's boss Lolly Jackson in 2010 that brought his name to public attention. After three years and ten more deaths, Krejcir was finally arrested on charges of kidnapping and attempted murder. Yet it seems that even a jail cell is not enough to subdue the criminal kingpin: it is just business as usual. In KREJCIR, Angelique Serrao reveals why we have not yet heard the last of the worst crime boss South Africa has ever seen.

  A cultural history of local law enforcement in Victorian England, from street patrolling and crime detection to corruption among the ranks.  
   
  Historian Gaynor Haliday became fascinated with the life of early police forces while researching her own great-great-grandfather; a well-regarded Victorian police constable in the West Yorkshire city of Bradford. Although a citation claimed his style of policing was merely to cuff the offender round the ear and send him home, press reports of the time painted a much grimmer picture of life on the beat in the Victorian streets. 
   
  In Victorian Policing, Haliday draws on a variety of primary sources, from handwritten Watch Committee minutes to historical newspapers and police records. She reveals how and why various police forces were set up across the United Kingdom; the recruitment, training and expectations of the men, the issues and crimes they had to deal with, and the hostility they encountered from the people whose peace they were trying to keep.

  Between the summers of 1967 through 1969, before the term serial killer was coined, a predatory killer stalked the campuses of Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan seeking prey until he made the arrogant mistake of killing his last victim in the basement of his uncle's home. All-American boy John Norman Collins was arrested, tried, and convicted of the strangulation murder of Karen Sue Beineman. The other murders attributed to Collins never went to trial, with one exception, and soon became cold cases.With the benefit of fifty years of hindsight, hundreds of vintage newspaper articles, thousands of police reports, and countless interviews, Terror in Ypsilanti: John Norman Collins Unmasked tells the stories of the other victims, recreates the infamous trial that took Collins off the streets, and details Collins's time spent in prison. Terror in Ypsilanti compiles an array of physical and circumstantial evidence drawing an unmistakable portrait of the sadistic murderer who slaughtered these innocent young women.
