In his teens, he lost friends to the escalating violence, and survived acts of brutality himself.

As a child, Roberto endured a tumultuous relationship with his father Ramón. Raised in extreme poverty in the countryside of El Salvador during one of the most violent periods of its history, Ramón learned to survive by straddling intersecting underworlds of family secrets, traumatic silences, and dealing in black-market goods and guns. The repression of the violence in his life took its toll, however.

Desperate to keep the circle of trust close, MI6 never revealed Gordievsky's name to its counterparts in the CIA, which in turn grew obsessed with figuring out the identity of Britain's obviously top-level source.

'It was,' says a woman who lived through the terror, 'as if Jack the Ripper had come back from the dead to stalk Boston.' And indeed, the Phantom Fiend, as the newspapers christened him, would go down in crime history as one of the world's most notorious and feared killers. Thanks to the release of once-sealed documents and the discovery of new evidence and witnesses, the most infamous slayings in American history can now be solved. The Boston murders have long been thought to be the work of one man, a construction worker named Albert Henry DeSalvo, who was represented by high-profile defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey. This belief, the author now reveals, is not true. The slayings were, in fact, the work of at least eight -- and possibly as many as eleven -- individuals, none of whom was the luckless DeSalvo. THE BOSTON STRANGLERS examines the entire case, demonstrating convincingly that DeSalvo was manipulated into confessing. The book describes the motives of those who convinced DeSalvo to confess. And they found a willing victim in DeSalvo, who had a desperate, perhaps even pathological, lust for celebrity. The book does not simply exonerate DeSalvo and expose those who put into gear the machinery of this giant hoax. It sets out to solve the murders to which he so willingly, if falsely, confessed. Sources for this book include court records, trial transcripts, police reports, crime-scene photos, and numerous interviews with the surviving principals in the case, many of whom speak for the record here for the first time.

In a terrible twist of fate, Moore himself was kidnapped and subsequently held captive by Somali pirates. Subjected to conditions that break even the strongest spirits—physical injury, starvation, isolation, terror—Moore’s survival is a testament to his indomitable strength of mind. In September 2014, after 977 days, he walked free when his ransom was put together by the help of several US and German institutions, friends, colleagues, and his strong-willed mother. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet Moore’s own struggle is only part of the story: \u003cem\u003eThe Desert and the Sea\u003c\/em\u003e falls at the intersection of reportage, memoir, and history. Caught between Muslim pirates, the looming threat of Al-Shabaab, and the rise of ISIS, Moore observes the worlds that surrounded him—the economics and history of piracy; the effects of post-colonialism; the politics of hostage negotiation and ransom; while also conjuring the various faces of Islam—and places his ordeal in the context of the larger political and historical issues.           \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sort of \u003cem\u003eCatch-22\u003c\/em\u003e meets \u003cem\u003eBlack Hawk Down, The Desert and the Sea\u003c\/em\u003e is written with dark humor, candor, and a journalist’s clinical distance and eye for detail.

Some suspected that behind closed doors, a group of chummy young bankers had been cheating the system through interest rate machinations. But with most eyes focused on the crisis rippling through Wall Street and the rest of the world, the story remained an “open secret” among competitors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon enough, the scandal became public and dozens of bankers and their bosses were caught red-handed. Several major banks and hedge funds were manipulating and misreporting their daily submission of the London Interbank Offered Rate, better known as the LIBOR. As the main interest rate that pulses through the banking community, the LIBOR was supposed to represent the average rate banks charge each other for loans, effectively setting short-term interest rates around the world for trillions of dollars in financial contracts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the LIBOR wasn’t an average; it was a combination of guesswork and outright lies told by scheming bankers who didn’t want to signal to the rest of the market that they were in trouble. The manipulation of the “world’s most important number” was even greater than many realized. The bankers kept things looking good for themselves and their pals while the financial crisis raged on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow Erin Arvedlund, the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eToo Good to Be True\u003c\/i\u003e, reveals how this global network created and perpetuated a multiyear scam against the financial system. She uncovers how the corrupt practice of altering the key interest rate occurred through an unregulated and informal honor system, in which young masters of the universe played fast and loose, while their more seasoned bosses looked the other way (and would later escape much of the blame).

Coming out of prison was a daunting experience. I had been placed on probation for drug possession. There was little support for my transition back into society-the only advice my probation officer gave me was: 'You better get a job.' But I did get a second chance; I found photography. Eventually I moved out of the community where I had gotten into trouble, educated myself, and became a productive member of society.

But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favorite son, a husband and beloved father, a best friend and a celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as perhaps as many as 400 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.\u003cbr\u003e         When, in March of 2006, Charles Cullen was marched from his final sentencing in an Allentown, Pennsylvania, courthouse into a waiting police van, it seemed certain that the chilling secrets of his life, career, and capture would disappear with him. Now, in a riveting piece of investigative journalism nearly ten years in the making, Charles Graeber gives us the unbelievable true story.\u003cbr\u003e         Based on hundreds of pages of previously unseen police records, wire-tap recordings and videotapes and interviews with whistleblowers and confidential informants, and years of exclusive jailhouse conversations with Cullen himself, the homicide detectives who worked against the clock and administrators to try and finally crack the code on Cullen’s crimes, and Cullen’s fellow nurse Amy, an overworked single mom asked to choose between protecting her friend Charlie and stopping a potential serial killer, THE GOOD NURSE weaves an urgent and terrifying tale of madness, humanity and heroism. \u003cbr\u003e         Cullen's murderous career in the world's most trusted profession spanned sixteen years and nine hospitals. Time and again he was fired or allowed to resign. But Cullen continued to work and kill, shielded by a hospital system that, by accident or design, successfully protected the institution while failing to protect patients. THE GOOD NURSE is a searing indictment of a crushing and dehumanizing for-profit medical system, and an inspiring human story of the previously unknown individuals who chose to risk their jobs and lives to do the right thing. Mesmerizing and irresistibly paced, this book will make you look at hospitals and the people who work in them in an entirely different way.","brand":"Charles Graeber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover \/ Used ~ Very Good","offer_id":43159752310952,"sku":"U-01236-2","price":15.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/4398\/5576\/products\/BNCImageAPI_c2db7c38-b83b-4088-8c06-45cdc5d53595.jpg?v=1675218993"},{"product_id":"9781556113093","title":"The Kirtland Massacre","description":"\u003ch4 class=\"affix-top\"\u003e\n\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Kirtland Massacre: The True and Terrible Story of the Mormon Cult Murders\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cem\u003eCynthia Stalter Sasse\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePeggy Murphy Widder\u003c\/em\u003e is a harrowing account of religious fanaticism turned deadly.
