Summary

A collection of three true crime titles by OJ Modjeska, now available in one volume!
 
Ace In The Hole: A glamorous Hollywood actress and playwright seeks the insights of a notorious serial killer. But what starts as research for her new play quickly spirals into a twisted obsession as she underestimates the killer's charm. Love and madness intertwine, blurring the lines between fiction and reality, as the killer challenges her devotion in a deadly game mirroring her own play. From the author of 'Gone: Catastrophe In Paradise' and the acclaimed 'Murder by Increments' series, Ace In The Hole uncovers an astonishing true story of obsession and deception in American true crime history.
 
Happy Land - A Lover's Revenge: Step into the harrowing aftermath of one of the deadliest fires in American history. As the annual Punta Carnivale celebrations turn into a horrific inferno, 87 party-goers perish in a matter of minutes, trapped and suffocated before the flames even reach them. But this devastating disaster is no accident. In this gripping true story, detectives uncover the chilling truth: an arsonist with a sinister motive is behind the tragedy. Happy Land reveals the dark underbelly of violence against women and the plight of the vulnerable, reminding us of the consequences of societal indifference. Prepare to be shaken by this haunting tale, which sheds light on a forgotten chapter of New York's history.
 
A City Owned: In the twisted underbelly of Los Angeles, a series of gruesome crimes shocks the city. As the police investigation unfolds, a chilling realization dawns: the perpetrator may be one of their own. Amidst the chaos, an arrest provides a breakthrough, but the suspect claims no memory of the crimes. Is he a mentally ill man tormented by a sinister alter ego, or is there something more sinister at play?

    Early Oklahoma was a haven for violent outlaws and a death trap for deputy U.S. marshals. The infamous Doolin gang's OK Hotel gunfight left five dead. Killers like Bible-quoting choir leader Deacon Jim Miller wreaked havoc. Gunslinger femme fatale Belle Starr specialized in horse theft. Wannabe outlaws like Al Jennings traded train robbing for politics and Hollywood films. And Elmer McCurdy's determination and inept skill earned him a carnival slot and the nickname "the Bandit Who Wouldn't Give Up." Historians Robert Barr Smith and Laurence J. Yadon dispel myths surrounding some of the most significant lawbreakers in Sooner history.

    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.

    Leading the Dillinger Gang

    America has always preferred heroes who weren’t clean cut, an informal ode to the rugged individualism and pioneering spirit that defined the nation in previous centuries. The early 19th century saw the glorification of frontier folk heroes like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. After the Civil War, the outlaws of the West were more popular than the marshals, with Jesse James and Billy the Kid finding their way into dime novels. And at the height of the Great Depression in the 1930s, there were the “public enemies”, common criminals and cold blooded murderers elevated to the level of folk heroes by a public frustrated with their own inability to make a living honestly. 
    	Two months after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inauguration in 1933, a petty thief who had spent almost a decade behind bars for attempted theft and aggravated assault was released from jail. By the end of the year, that man, John Dillinger, would be America’s most famous outlaw: Public Enemy Number One. From the time of his first documented heist in early July 1933, until his dramatic death in late July of the following year, he would capture the nation’s attention and imagination as had no other outlaw since Jesse James. 
    	The man who became Public Enemy Number One after the deaths of John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd was Lester Joseph Gillis, whose alias “George Nelson” eventually gave way to the nickname “Baby Face Nelson”. Despite the almost playfully innocent nickname, and the fact that he was not as notorious as two of his partners in crime, Dillinger and Floyd, Baby Face Nelson was the worst of them all. In an era where the outlaws were glorified as Robin Hood types, Baby Face was a merciless outlier who pulled triggers almost as fast as he lost his temper. He was believed to have been responsible for the deaths of more FBI agents than anybody else in American history.
