He was arrested later that year after a failed attempt to abduct a six-year-old boy at a movie theatre in Camas, Washington. After refusing an automatic appeal, Dodd was executed by hanging on January 5, 1993, the first legal hanging in the United States since 1965.

  John Gilligan is no altar boy, by his own admission. 
   
  One of Ireland's most infamous criminals and drug lords, and widely believed in the court of public opinion to have ordered the cold-blooded murder of crime reporter Veronica Guerin, he remains a defiant figure. 
   
  In this remarkable book—the first of its kind—journalist Jason O'Toole distills hours of sensational face-to-face, no-holds-barred interviews with the feared criminal into a fast-paced and jaw-dropping account of the Irish gangland scene. And Gilligan doesn't mince his words. ‘I didn't believe in God, but I know I'm going to hell.' 
   
  Starting out as a petty thief in Dublin, Gilligan rose to the status of crime lord earning £10 million from drugs within his first two years. He mixed with ‘the General' Martin Cahill, with Gerry ‘The Monk' Hutch and with John Traynor. He was deeply involved with money laundering, miraculously survived an assassination attempt, and it is said he has millions of euro stashed away at a secret location, for future use. 
   
  O'Toole demands answers from Gilligan for all the hard questions; some of his responses will make readers shiver. Gilligan knew that laying all his cards on the table could mean signing his own arrest warrant... or worse. But he has done it here. And with a cast of all the country's deadliest underworld figures, this exposé is nothing short of explosive.

  Open Secrecy - How Technology...

  Examines how the global digital underground is liberated by "open secrecy"—a novel and ominous mix of tools for mass communication and anonymity 
    
  Shadowy groups are increasingly capable of collective action. Using military-grade encryption, rerouting software, and cryptocurrencies, anonymous and pseudonymous actors can now communicate, solve problems, recruit members, and manage resources across multiple public and semipublic spaces. This swirling mix of secrecy and openness enables people to move through cyberspace like nomads with verifiable personas, which makes them impossible to stop. 
    
  Isak Ladegaard takes readers inside a dark, digital economy for banned drugs that has survived numerous police crackdowns, examines how activist software developers in China and other countries have maintained paths to the open internet, and documents how the American far right uses the same tools to sustain antisocial movements based on paranoia and hate. Timely and perceptive, Open Secrecy argues that although information technology enables mass surveillance, it also undermines state power by boosting groups that evade its rule. These dual forces of control and liberation are propelling us forward, with no one at the wheel. 
    
  "A fascinating, expertly researched, and beautifully written examination of the juxtaposition between openness and secrecy in the dark digital underbelly of the internet."—Alexandrea Ravenelle, author of Side Hustle Safety Net: How Vulnerable Workers Survive Precarious Times

  The personal vendetta against prostitutes was over and Michael Maybrick was free to continue furthering his ambitions for fame and fortune, but a persistent problem had yet to be resolved. There remained a nagging belief that his brother James suspected his nefarious activities, as perhaps did his wife Florence, despised by Michael as an adulteress.
  
  There could only be one solution. The London Medicine.
