  Lauren Samples never planned to become a true crime investigator. But when a podcast she co-hosted led her deep into the world of unsolved cases, she found herself drawn to the voices often overlooked—the families still searching for answers, the victims whose stories had faded from the headlines. 
  In this compelling blend of memoir and investigative journalism, Samples shares the cases that changed her, from missing persons and cold cases to the complex realities of grief, justice, and advocacy. With a background in law enforcement, a degree in paralegal studies, and a deep commitment to uncovering the truth, she brings a thoughtful and compassionate perspective to the mysteries she explores. 
  More than a collection of crime stories, this book is about the impact of loss, the resilience of those left behind, and the power of storytelling in the fight for justice. 
  For readers who seek true crime with heart, Through the Shadows: Unsolved Crimes and the Search for Truth offers an inside look at the pursuit of answers—and the people who refuse to stop searching.

  Charles Manson Anarchy - Inside...

  Charles Manson rose to infamy in 1969 with the orchestration of seven gruesome murders in Los Angeles, California. What shocked the world even more than the heinous acts themselves was the fact that Manson did not personally commit any of the murders. Instead, he wielded an eerie control over a group of devoted followers known as the Manson Family, convincing them to carry out his evil bidding. 
  "Charles Manson Anarchy" delves deep into the twisted psyche of one of America's most notorious cult leaders. This compelling narrative dissects Manson's manipulative and cunning nature, revealing how his early proclivities for crime and manipulation evolved into a full-blown psychopathy characterized by narcissism, sadism, and a complete lack of empathy. 
  The book vividly depicts the 1960s counter-culture, a turbulent social and political upheaval era. This period, marked by psychedelic drug use, sexual exploration, and communal living, provided the perfect breeding ground for Manson's sinister machinations. He expertly exploited the era's ideals, using psychedelic drugs to control his followers and twisting the concept of sexual freedom into a tool for manipulation and abuse. 
  Through meticulous research and psychological analysis, "Charles Manson Anarchy" uncovers how Manson's environment enabled his rise to power. The free love and communal ethos of the time allowed him to amass a following he could bend to his will. Without the unique backdrop of the 1960s, Manson might never have been able to exert such deadly influence. 
  This book is not just a recounting of crimes but a profound exploration of how a malignant personality can twist societal values to serve its dark purposes. "Charles Manson Anarchy" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the mind of a psychopath and the cultural context that can foster such dangerous influence.

  Harry Oppenheimer - Diamonds...

  This book will surely be the most readable, best informed, most complete account of Harry Oppenheimer's life there is ever likely to be.' – Bill Nasson, historian and author
  As chairman of Anglo American and De Beers, Harry Oppenheimer held sway over his family's gold and diamond empire for a quarter of a century. He combined a passion for commerce with a streak of creative genius.
  In this, the first comprehensive biography of Oppenheimer, Michael Cardo has produced a vivid portrait based on unrestricted access to his subject's private papers and interviews with Oppenheimer's relatives and associates.
  Cardo brings to life the places, people and events that shaped Oppenheimer's career at the intersection of business and politics. From the diamond fields of Kimberley, where his father, Ernest, arrived to seek his fortune in 1902, through his long apprenticeship as heir apparent, to Harry Oppenheimer's emergence on the world stage as a magnate and monarch in his own right – the 'King of Diamonds' and the man with the Midas touch – Cardo tells the story of a dynasty.
  As a financier, philanthropist and public figure, Oppenheimer straddles the history of 20th-century South Africa. In the 1950s the National Party regarded him as a threat to Afrikanerdom, the sinister embodiment of English 'money power'. Forty years later, Nelson Mandela praised Oppenheimer as a nation-builder, a key figure in South Africa's transition to democracy. Yet nowadays, Oppenheimer is demonised in some quarters as the archetype of 'white monopoly capital' and blamed, in part, for democracy's disappointing dividends.
  Meticulously researched and superbly written, this authoritative work sheds new light on the multifaceted legacy of a renowned South African industrialist.
