  A heartbreaking account of enduring suffering and loss. 
   
  When Cindy Gambino dropped her three boys off at their dad's on Father’s Day 2005 she had no idea she would never see them again. By day’s end, their bodies lay at the bottom of an icy dam, a tragedy that sparked one of the most controversial and prolonged murder cases in Australian history. 
   
  Award-winning author and journalist Megan Norris followed the case for eight years, chronicling Cindy’s heartbreaking journey through a trial, retrial, two failed appeals, and a 2013 High Court ruling that blocked Victorian father Robert Farquharson’s final bid for freedom, putting him behind bars for at least the next thirty-three years. 
   
  Through exclusive, intimate interviews with Cindy and her family, and a meticulous examination of the overwhelming evidence before the courts, Norris details how two juries concluded Farquharson was guilty of murdering his children. This book offers valuable and first-hand insight into a crime intended to last a lifetime.

  Bleeding Truth - A memoir

  Bleeding Truth is a powerful and deeply personal memoir that bears witness to the collision of history, justice, and the human spirit. Written by Dr. Shahram Azam, a physician and former military doctor, this book is not only a testimony of lived experience but also a search for truth in the face of silence and denial. 
  The story unfolds against the backdrop of Iran’s turbulent political climate, where repression, censorship, and fear shaped the lives of countless citizens. At its heart lies the harrowing case of Zahra Kazemi, an Iranian-Canadian journalist who was arrested, tortured, and killed in Tehran in 2003. Dr. Azam, then a physician at Baghiyyatollah Hospital, became one of the first witnesses to the physical evidence of her brutal injuries. His professional duty—and his conscience—compelled him to record what he saw, a choice that would forever alter his own life. 
  Bleeding Truth weaves together the personal and the political: memories of war and service as a doctor on the front lines, the responsibility of treating the wounded with compassion, and the haunting reality of becoming a reluctant witness to state violence. It is a narrative of exile and resilience, as Dr. Azam recounts the cost of speaking out and the journey that took him from the operating room in Tehran to a life in Canada, where he continues to carry the weight of memory and moral obligation. 
  The memoir does more than revisit a single tragedy. It speaks to broader questions of truth, accountability, and the human need to confront injustice, even when doing so carries profound risks. It is both a personal confession and a universal call to remember, to resist forgetting, and to honor the lives silenced by oppression.

  On a warm night in December 1977, David Holden, chief foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times, landed in Cairo to report on crucial peace talks between Egypt and Israel, an epochal moment in global politics. Shortly after dawn, his body was found dumped on a dusty roadside. He had been shot with a single bullet through the heart.
  Who killed Holden and why? These were the questions pursued for a year by the newspaper's Insight team, overseen by legendary editor Harold Evans. Before he died in 2020, Evans said that their failure to solve the case was the biggest regret of his long career.
  Now, a member of the original Insight team has joined forces with a young investigative journalist from today's Sunday Times to resume the quest. Their search leads them into a world of intrigue and betrayal, exposing the fatal crossovers between journalism and spying.
  Meticulously researched and grippingly told, Murder in Cairo reveals the truth of one of the most enigmatic cold case mysteries of the past fifty years.

  For decades, America has been considered to be the natural home of serial killers. 
  Infamous names like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer are internationally known and feared, and rightly so. But what if, just south of the border, there was a far more active network of serial killers? What if the perfect storm of crime, fuelled by this nation's deadly narco wars, has turned Mexico into an ideal hunting ground for many of the most bizarre and blood thirsty serial killers the world has ever seen? Serial Killers of Mexico delves into this criminal underbelly to tell the stories of the psychopathic loners, professional narco assassins and the overwhelmed law enforcement trying desperately to hunt them down. 
   
  “If I was a serial killer looking for new victims, I'd head over the border to Mexico because life is cheap there and the police have got so much other sh*t to investigate, they don't bother with random killings.” - A FORMER FBI AGENT
