UNTOLD STORY OF THE GOLDEN STATE...

Julie A. Schwan

For over forty years, he was a ghost. Then DNA caught him.
Between 1974 and 1986, a masked predator terrorized California—raping more than fifty women, murdering at least thirteen people, and vanishing without a trace. Families slept with weapons. Neighborhoods formed armed patrols. Police pursued thousands of dead-end leads. Yet the Golden State Killer remained free, hidden among the very communities he had brutalized.
What made him so terrifying wasn't just his violence—it was his intelligence. A former police officer, he understood exactly how investigators worked and used that knowledge to stay invisible. He attacked in multiple jurisdictions, moved constantly, left minimal evidence, and then simply stopped. For decades, detectives believed he was either dead or had escaped justice forever.
They were wrong.
This is the complete story of how cutting-edge forensic genealogy finally unmasked Joseph James DeAngelo, a seemingly ordinary grandfather living in the same Sacramento suburb where he'd committed his earliest attacks. Through meticulous research and powerful survivor testimonies, you'll discover how one man evaded capture for over four decades, the psychological toll on entire communities, and the revolutionary DNA technique that changed criminal investigation forever.
Inside these pages, you'll witness the courtroom confrontation where survivors finally faced their attacker, understand the failures and breakthroughs that defined the investigation, and see how this case solved hundreds of other cold cases across America.
Justice delayed forty-four years. But justice served.
If you're fascinated by true crime that reads like a thriller but delivers real answers, this meticulously researched account reveals every shocking detail of America's most elusive serial predator—and the science that finally brought him down.

Family of Spies - A Cold War...

Steve B. Davis

In the summer of 1950, federal agents arrived at a modest apartment in lower Manhattan and arrested an electrical engineer named Julius Rosenberg on charges of passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. Six weeks later, they came for his wife Ethel — a seamstress and mother of two small boys aged seven and three — and took her from the courthouse door in circumstances that the FBI's own internal documents would later reveal had nothing to do with the strength of the evidence against her and everything to do with what the government needed her to be.
 
Three years later, on the evening of June 19, 1953, the United States government executed them both.
 

 
What happened in between — the fabricated testimony, the compromised judge, the private conversations between prosecutor and bench before a single witness had been sworn, the brother who sent his sister to the electric chair and later admitted he had lied — is one of the most documented, most contested, and most consequential miscarriages of justice in the history of American law.  
 

 
Family of Spies is the complete, documented account of what the United States government did to Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, why it did it, and what the record it left behind demands of everyone who reads it. 
 
The verdict was returned in 1951. The questions it failed to answer have never stopped accumulating.

A Hit With A Bullet - A True...

Sammy Sadler

Sammy Sadler, a rising country star at 21 years-old, feels hot blood flow out of the bullet wound in his shoulder. Adrenaline pulsed through him as a pleasant evening with friend and colleague, Kevin Hughes, took a deadly turn. Another shot cries out as a masked figure emerges from the shadows. Sadler is disoriented. The driver of their car makes a mad dash up the road as more bullets pierce the air. The gunman turns his attention to one man. Kevin Hughes, Chart Director for Cash Box magazine, was shot dead on March 9,1989 in the middle of 16th Avenue. The murderer disappears in the shadows, seemingly getting away with the crime. Known as the Murder on Music Row played out like a movie scene, but it was a living nightmare for Sadler. The rumor mill churned ruthlessly about his "possible involvement" in the unsolved crime. His career and his marriage crumbled. He struggled to recover from lasting P.T.S.D and an injury compromising the use of his hand. The mystery of that fatal night did not fade. It gained attention on national outlets such as "Unsolved Mysteries," "America's Most Wanted," "Nancy Grace," and more. It wasn't until 2003 that former Chart Director for Cash Box magazine, Richard D'Antionio was convicted of the murder. The closure of the conviction seems to have marked a new chapter for Sammy Sadler. The following year, he released his first album since the murder on music row, HARD ON A HEART. Building on this momentum, Sadler has gone on multiple tours, recorded several new albums, and is taking back all that was robbed of him that one night in 1989. Today, he has one message...his story is far from over.
