Sinopsis

The Perfect Crime: How Israel Keyes Nearly Got Away with Murder

A chilling true crime masterpiece that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about serial killers.

For over a decade, Israel Keyes moved like a ghost across America, methodically planning and executing the "perfect crimes" that would make him one of the most terrifying serial killers in modern history. Unlike any predator law enforcement had encountered before, Keyes shattered every established pattern of criminal behavior—traveling thousands of miles between victims, avoiding geographic clusters, and selecting targets with no discernible connection to his life.

When 18-year-old Samantha Koenig vanished from an Anchorage coffee stand on a frigid February night in 2012, investigators had no idea they were about to uncover a criminal enterprise that spanned continents and challenged everything they knew about catching killers. What began as a missing person case would evolve into a multi-state manhunt revealing pre-positioned "murder kits," carefully planned burial sites, and a level of operational sophistication that left seasoned FBI agents stunned.

Through exclusive access to FBI case files, interrogation transcripts, and interviews with investigators, this gripping account reveals how Keyes used military training and meticulous planning to stay invisible for years. From the snowy wilderness of Alaska to the quiet suburbs of Vermont, follow the painstaking investigation that finally brought him to justice—only to have him take his darkest secrets to the grave.

The Perfect Crime exposes the terrifying reality of modern serial killing and the revolutionary changes in law enforcement that emerged from one of America's most challenging investigations. This is more than a true crime story—it's a deep dive into the mind of a predator who almost achieved the impossible: the perfect murder.

Some monsters hide in plain sight. Some crimes seem unsolvable. Some killers are just getting started.

Little Crazy Children

James Renner

In September of 1990, in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, sixteen-year-old Lisa Pruett was on her way to a midnight tryst with her boyfriend, when she was viciously stabbed to death only thirty feet from the boy's home. 
 
 
 
The murder cast a palpable gloom over the upscale community and sparked accusations, theories, and rumors among Lisa's friends and peers. Together they wove a damning narrative that circled back to a likely suspect: "weird" high school outcast Kevin Young. Without a shred of evidence the teen was arrested, charged, and tried for the crime. His eventual acquittal didn't squelch the anger and outrage among those who believed that Kevin got away with murder. 
 
 
 
With a fresh perspective and painstaking research, James Renner reconstructs the events leading up to and following that heartbreaking night. What emerges is a portrait of a community seething with dark undercurrents. 
 
 
 
Who had the capacity for such unchecked violence? What monsters still lurk in the dark? After more than thirty years, questions like these continue to fester among the community of Shaker Heights, Ohio, still deeply scarred by wounds that remain hidden, unspoken, and unhealed.

Shadows in the Dark: The 12...

Marcus Hale

Shadows in the Dark by Marcus Hale is a journey into the chilling stories of ten lesser-known serial killers who escaped the spotlight yet left a trail of terror and tragedy. With meticulous research and haunting detail, Hale uncovers the lives of these "hidden" killers—men and women who exploited society's blind spots, targeting the vulnerable while slipping through the cracks of justice. Each chapter reveals the unsettling truths behind killers like the "Silent Tormentor," a nurse who took lives rather than saving them, or the "Widowmaker," who preyed on elderly tenants for profit. 
This book doesn't just recount their crimes; it examines how each managed to operate for years undetected, the societal failings that allowed them to evade capture, and the impact on families whose loved ones were forgotten by history. Through Shadows in the Dark, Marcus Hale provides a powerful, unflinching look at the underbelly of human nature, reminding readers that sometimes the most terrifying monsters are those we never see coming.

The Prisoner - Behind Bars in...

Vladimir Pereverzin

'A bleak and vivid account' BBC Radio 4 
‘I am haunted by the feeling that it is not me I’m writing about, but some other man who lived through it all. It is as though I was watching a film about him, reading a book on him. And here is that book’ 
Shocking, but laced with wry humour, Vladimir Pereverzin’s extraordinary story is of an ordinary man whose comfortable life is upended. Refusing to give false testimony against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky, he is plunged into lengthy, brutal incarceration in Russia’s nightmarish prisons and penal colonies, including some in which political prisoner Alexei Navalny has been held. 
Vividly told in this skilful translation, Vladimir’s ultimately uplifting memoir was first published in Russian in 2013, but, given new laws enacted in Russia to punish those who oppose its ongoing ‘special operation’ in Ukraine, it is, if anything, even more topical today. 
_ 
‘A very Russian story, and topical for all times . . . it tells you how to become truly free when deprived of liberty’ – Boris Akunin, author of the Erast Fandorin books
