  December 2, 1993. A rooftop in Medellín. The most dangerous man on earth just ran out of places to hide. 
  By twenty-six, Pablo Escobar had already stolen headstones, run cigarettes, and laid the foundations of an empire that would make him richer than governments, more feared than armies, and — for a while — more loved in his own city than the state itself. 
  He bombed a passenger plane to kill one man. He put a country's Congress on his payroll. He built a private zoo, a private army, and a private war against a nation that didn't understand what it was facing until the bodies numbered in the thousands. 
  This is not the sanitized version. This is not the show. 
  Empire of Blood is the meticulously researched, unflinching true story behind the myth — the real timeline, the real players, the real cost — told as narrative nonfiction that reads like a thriller, because the truth never needed embellishing. 
  Inside, you'll discover:How a boy with no electricity at home became a $25 billion traffickerThe assassination that turned a smuggling operation into a war on the Colombian stateThe bombing of Avianca Flight 203 — and the candidate who was never on boardLife inside La Catedral, the "prison" Escobar built and ran like a resortThe still-disputed truth about who fired the fatal shot on that rooftopWhat became of his family — and why Medellín still can't agree if he was monster or saint 
  This book is for the reader who finished Narcos and wanted the parts Netflix left out. For true crime readers who want nonfiction that hits as hard as fiction — without a single invented quote. 
  Some empires fall in a day. This one took a decade — and the country it nearly destroyed is still adding up the cost.

  Lori Vallow: The Fall of a Doomsday Mother unravels the chilling true story of a seemingly devoted mother whose descent into apocalyptic obsession led to a string of mysterious deaths, nationwide manhunts, and heartbreaking revelations. At the center of the case is Lori Vallow, a woman once seen as loving and spiritual, whose beliefs in a doomsday prophecy—and her relationship with end-times author Chad Daybell—spiraled into a dark world of conspiracy, manipulation, and murder. This gripping account examines how religious extremism, secrecy, and the distortion of maternal love culminated in one of the most disturbing criminal sagas in recent American history.

  Christopher Morris believes Lucy Letby has been the victim of a miscarriage of justice, and that her guilty verdict is not beyond reasonable doubt. He is not the only one.Ever since the nurse was condemned to fifteen life sentences, highly-regarded professionals in their fields have gone on record to raise concerns about the evidence used to convict her. The science behind how her victims died, the reliance on circumstantial evidence, and the interpretation of the statistics used against Lucy Letby are all being questioned. Controversially, the defence did not call an expert witness to challenge the medical evidence presented by the prosecution. Nobody, except her lawyers, knows why. In a quest to find out if he is correct, the author has interviewed scores of those experts. He has also pored over the thousands of documents submitted to the Thirlwall Inquiry, which is examining what went wrong at the Countess of Chester Hospital, as well as the transcripts of the trial. He has pulled this vast amount of information together into an engrossing journey through the uncertainties many feel undermine the conviction of Lucy Letby.The answer matters for us all, as it raises serious questions about whether our justice system really does seek the truth.

  St Paul Murder & Mayhem

  A fledgling community in the midst of stunning natural scenes, the St. Paul of yesteryear had a well-earned reputation for beauty and danger. Whiskey made the river city a byword for peril. Men brawled over small offenses and killed one another with near impunity. As crime flourished beyond the power of police control, vigilantes patrolled the streets. Irresponsible speculation and white-collar crime wrecked the local economy, devastating families and driving thousands out of town. The remaining St. Paulites rebuilt their community and economy, stimulating immigration, but more people meant more crime. In the 1870s, vice and violence spiraled into the Bloody Fall of '74, and St. Paul regained its reputation as a "dead tough" town. Historian Ron de Beaulieu reveals the past travails of life in this turbulent city.

  The Scam That Shook a Nation -...

  On 24 May 1971, based on a telephone call purportedly from Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her secretary P.N. Haksar, the chief cashier at the Parliament Street branch of the State Bank of India handed over Rs 60 lakh to a stranger posing as the PM's courier. The money was supposedly meant for secret operations in East Pakistan. When the chief cashier approached the PMO for a receipt, he was told that neither Haksar nor the PM had given any such instructions. He had been duped. 
  Within a few hours, the Delhi Police recovered the cash and caught the man responsible for the heist, a former army captain-Rustom Sohrab Nagarwala. Subsequent events-which included a botched police investigation, bungling by the lower judiciary, mysterious deaths of the accused and the principal investigator, and Indira Gandhi's inexplicable silence-led to the rise of several conspiracy theories.  
  Based on police records, press reports, depositions before the Justice Jaganmohan Reddy Commission and its report, The Scam That Shook a Nation is the first authoritative work on the scam, its investigation and its afterlife as a study in political corruption.

  There is something strangely compelling about the waterways. Isolated places on the edge of society, they have always had their own distinctive way of life and a certain shady reputation. Ever since the earliest days, canals have attracted crime, with sinister figures lurking in the shadows and bodies found floating in the water. When a brutal murder in 1839 created a national outcry, it seemed to confirm all the worst fears about boatmen – a tough breed of men surviving in harsh conditions, who were swiftly branded as outlaws by the press.
  Drawing on a rich collection of original sources, Dark Side of the Cut brings to life dramatic stories that are gruesome, shocking and tragic. These evocative snapshots of rough justice uncover the secret world of the waterways, revealing the real human cost of the Industrial Revolution.
