Sinopse

One after another, they appear by the sides of suburban roads and freeways - the naked, strangled bodies of women who have been raped, tortured and left for dead.
 
Police begin to suspect that their target is a rogue operator who has emerged from their own ranks. And then, all hell breaks loose in Los Angeles.
 
An arrest in the strangling murders of two co-eds across state lines finally leads to a break in the case, but the suspect is someone the investigators could have ever expected.
 
None of them are prepared for the dark journey through the mazes of the human mind it will take to unlock the door to justice.
 
From the author of the bestselling "Gone: Catastrophe in Paradise", "A City Owned" is the true story of the worst case of serial sex homicide in American history.
Disponível desde: 05/01/2022.

    An insider's true story of the "Orgasm cult” - written in the shadow of the 2025 federal conviction. 
    At twenty-four, he was broke, anxious, and sexually dysfunctional. A postcard advertising a "Meetup on Female Orgasm" seemed absurd. He went anyway. What he found changed everything. 
    Within months, he transformed from socially awkward to confident "stroker" living in an orgasm commune in Manhattan. The women were radiant and sexually empowered. The men possessed an almost supernatural ability to "feel" what others wanted. Every conversation was vulnerable. Every moment alive with sensation. It felt like he'd found the cheat codes to human connection. 
    But there was a price he couldn't see yet. 
    This raw, untold memoir reveals the real story not covered in Netflix's Orgasm Inc. 
    The Netflix documentary told you it was a cult. 
    The Bloomberg investigation exposed the crimes. 
    The FBI built the case. 
    But no one has shown you how it actually worked from the inside - until now. 
    This is the primary source account. Two years inside at the peak. 
    The complete psychological architecture of how intelligent people get seduced, transformed, and nearly destroyed. 
    Not a victim interview looking back. 
    The story shows how intelligent people get trapped in high-control groups. How the same methods used to help people can be weaponized to control them. How trauma and transformation can be impossible to separate. 
    This is the nuanced, uncomfortable truth that most coverage misses.

    A decade after her dramatic launch into fame, celebrated jockey Michelle Payne reflects on what she's learned about love, loss, courage and kindness. 
     
    The Melbourne Cup: the most prestigious horse race in Australia and never won by a female jockey—until 2015. 
     
    When Michelle Payne swept across the finish line, she made history and galloped straight into our hearts. Yet what came next for Michelle was an even wilder ride: a whirlwind of international celebrity that drove her to breaking point, a second catastrophic race fall and an excruciating fight to walk again. 
     
    Ten years later, Ride On reveals exactly what empowered Michelle's trailblazing win and her following triumphs in the face of extraordinary adversity and pain—the experiences, perspective and discipline that helped her dig deeper and reach further than she'd ever thought possible. 
     
    Taking us on an inspirational journey, Michelle shares how she found the courage, resilience and work ethic to keep fighting and winning; how horses helped her heal; and how kindness helped her survive the devastating deaths of her mother, brother and two sisters. 
     
    From childhood dream to dazzling success, this book takes us behind the glamour to encounter the raw, poignant and astounding story of a life lived against the odds: lessons of love and loss, hope and happiness, patience over power and finding the will—no matter what—to ride on.

    The samurai way of life is guided by three core values - loyalty, honor, and respect. These principles are more than just words; they are the basis of a strict code of conduct that governs every aspect of a samurai's life. Loyalty is the foundation of the samurai's relationship with their lord. It is not just blind obedience but an unwavering sense of duty and honor that compels them to protect their lord at all costs. This bond is unbreakable and lasts beyond death. Honor is earned through acts of bravery and selflessness on the battlefield and maintained through strict adherence to the Bushido code. A samurai's reputation is built on their honor, and they will go to great lengths to protect it, even if it means sacrificing their own life.Respect is the currency of the samurai world, earned through martial prowess and deeds of valor. A respected samurai is a force to be reckoned with, their reputation preceding them wherever they go. Respect must be earned through actions demonstrating the samurai's worthiness of admiration and awe.For a Samurai, these values are not just aspirations but a way of life that defines who they are and what they stand for. With these guiding principles, a samurai is a skilled swordsman with a moral compass. Through the practice of these principles, the samurai become legends, their names remembered and revered for generations to come.

    Today, you will be introduced to three sick serial killers. Their biographies will be summarized and explained. The said individuals are as follows: 
    Ted Bundy - Ted Bundy was one of the most infamous rapists and sexual predators, necrophiles, and murderers in the western part of the United States. Having been abused in his childhood and fed pornographic material from an early age, his crimes became more daring, violent, and vicious as he got a thrill from dismembering or sexually tormenting one victim after another. 
    At the end of his life, after several escapes from prison, he was convicted and got the electric chair. Even then, despite his confessions, his manipulative ways seemed to have so much influence on the women he had dated, that many still proclaimed their love for him and were sad to see him leave this world. 
    Al Capone - Al Capone was an infamous mob boss between the two world wars, in the city of New York and surrounding areas. His name and style have been emulated in movies. The mass shootings, tax evasion, and revenge on Italian murders in the mafia gangs on the United States east coast were so notorious that they have become iconic and stereotyped. 
    How did Al Capone get the scars on his face? How did he manage to control so much of the gangs in the cities? How was he able to bribe the police, evade taxes, and become a terror for anyone who opposed him? And how did his life finally come to an end? 
    Jack the Ripper - Jack the Ripper was an unknown serial killer active in the mainly poor parts around the Whitechapel district of London in the year 1888. In both the criminal case files and modern journalistic books, the killer was referred to as the Whitechapel Killer and Leather Apron. 
    He caused quite some havoc, going after some of the most impoverished neighborhoods and killing victim after victim, without ever being found.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    The North-East region of the United States has a long and excellent history of literary works from its talented sons and daughters.   Although some travelled the continent, and even further afield, their roots are unfailingly of this American landscape, its people and their shared experiences.
