  Jack the Ripper: A Psychic Investigation is the story of the author's journey into the heart of a mystery that has haunted the popular imagination for well over a 100 years. The grisly details both fascinate and repel, and the apparent lack of an understandable motive makes the story even more bewildering. 
   
  Pamela Ball uses both astrology and channelling to cast a startling new light on a puzzle that has baffled experts ever since the gruesome murders were committed in Whitechapel back in 1888. Using her psychic skills combined with a detailed study of the political and social background of the time, she is able to shatter many of the myths and preconceptions that have built up around Jack the Ripper and points to conclusions that take us closer than we have ever been to solving the riddle of who did commit the atrocious killings.

  In December 1832 a farmer found the body of a young, pregnant woman hanging near a haystack outside a New England mill town. When news spread that Methodist preacher Ephraim Avery was accused of murdering Sarah Maria Cornell, a factory worker, the case gave the public everything they found irresistible: sexually charged violence, adultery, the hypocrisy of a church leader, secrecy and mystery, and suspicions of insanity. Murder in a Mill Town tells the story of how a local crime quickly turned into a national scandal that became America's first "trial of the century." 
   
   
   
  After her death, Cornell's choices about work, survival, and personal freedom became enmeshed in stories that Americans told themselves about their new world of industry and women's labor and the power of religion in the early republic. Ordinary people gave testimony that revealed rapidly changing times. As the controversy of Cornell's murder spread beyond the courtroom, the public eagerly devoured narratives of moral deviance, abortion, suicide, mobs, "fake news," and conspiracy politics. Long after the jury's verdict, the nation refused to let the scandal go. 
   
   
   
  A meticulously reconstructed historical whodunit, Murder in a Mill Town exposes the troublesome workings of criminal justice in the young democracy and the rise of a sensational popular culture.

  On a remote cattle station in Far North Queensland, four gold prospectors push their luck and pay the price. 
  Venturing too close to the homestead they attract the attention of the landholders, who arrive armed and dangerous. Only three of the prospectors make it out alive. 
  This is the story of Bruce Schuler’s murder at Palmerville Station on the 9th of July, 2012. His murderers, Stephen Struber and his wife Dianne Wilson, had for decades been a law unto themselves, terrorising all who dared cross ‘their’ land. Or as Struber saw it, playing ‘Cowboys and Indians’ and chasing them off the property. Using real bullets. 
  Struberville is also a look at the darker side of isolation, and what happens to the civilising influence of society when nobody’s watching out there.
