Accompanied by a small but able band of soldiers, Thomas is sent to Gascony to capture the castle of Astarac. But he has ulterior motives for accepting the charge: Gascony is the home of the black knight, Guy de Vexille, who brutally slaughtered his father. It is also reputed to be the place where the Grail was last seen. While capturing Astarac, Thomas learns of a tragedy in the making: a beautiful young woman named Genevieve, innocent if not pious, is to be burned as a heretic. Thomas prevents the corrupt local priest from carrying out his God-given" duty, a sacrilege that turns him into an outcast, even among his own men. Eventually he and Genevieve have no choice but to flee. While hidden away at a monastery, they learn of a plot involving the creation of an imitation Grail for a diabolical end; and they witness the murder of a trusted priest at the hands of Guy de Vexille. At last reconciled with his allies, Thomas leads his brave band in a bloody battle to the death, the outcome of which could determine the seat of power, and the direction of Christendom, forevermore. ungekürzt.

    Two portraits of history's most evil serial killers are on display here. Robert Howard died old and decrepit in a jail cell...but he remains one of the sickest individuals to ever set foot in the United Kingdom as he raped and tortured young girls, all the while bragging to anyone that he was a real life wolfman. On a cold, winter night in November of 1981, Cassie Hansen was abducted from a family service at the Jehovah Lutheran Church in St. Paul. Authorities were baffled as the young girl seemed to have disappeared in thin air. All they had to go on was that one of the congregants had remembered witnessing an elderly white man milling around near the bathroom where Cassie was last seen. A local masseuse, however, has a sneaking suspicion that one of her clients may have something to do with the abduction of the little girl and sets up a sting operation of her own. ungekürzt.

    Stairway to Nowhere is the true story of late 1970s, Birmingham, UK, band Fàshiön. In the brief spotlight of their 15 minutes of fame, Fàshiön toured both the US and UK as an opening band for The Police, did a UK club tour with a then-unknown band from Ireland called U2, opened for The B-52s on their first-ever UK tour, and had a new band called Duran Duran open shows for them. The book tells the story of how four young, unemployed, working-class gits from the gutters of Brum donned make-up, attitude, weird clothes, and swaggered forth to escape the dreaded clutches of Birmingham's car-factory mentality by conquering the music business. On their voyage of escape and discovery, Fàshiön encounter a plethora of the music industry's sickest practitioners. Join them on their headlong flight up the stairway to nowhere as they cobble together some of the most innovative and original pop music of the time. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    These seven murderers are perhaps the most sadistic serial killers to ever live. Albert Fish was a rapist, a child killer, and a cannibal who, not satisfied with the torture and murders of his young victims, would write to the parents to detail all of the vile things he did to the children. One such letter in this book. Albert Fish may have been the sickest serial killer to ever live. He would keep his young victims alive for days and beat them constantly to tenderize their flesh for cooking. John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, who raped and murdered young men then buried their bodies beneath his home. The Hillside Stranglers were a pair of cousins who for months terrorized the state of California. These two sadistic creatures would kidnap women, rape them, and then strangle them to death before dumping their bodies along hillsides. No one would be safe from them, prostitutes, students, and children would be targeted by them. Rarely in the history of the world have two men worked so effectively together as killers. ungekürzt.

    One girl found dead. Another girl gone.... Long shadows danced on the tin walls. Inside the trunk lay Carrie Miller, wrapped in plastic, arms folded across her ribcage, lips sealed tight forever.... When a girl's body is found at a Midlands storage unit, it is too decomposed for Detective Robyn Carter to read the signs left by the killer. No one knows the woman in blue who rented the unit; her hired van can't be traced. But as the leads run dry, another body is uncovered. This time the killer's distinctive mark is plain to see, and matching scratches on the first victim's skeleton make Robyn suspect she's searching for a serial killer. As Robyn closes in on the killer's shocking hunting ground, another girl goes missing, and this time it's someone close to her own heart. Robyn can't lose another loved one. Can she find the sickest individual she has ever faced, before it's too late? An utterly gripping and darkly compelling detective thriller that will have fans of Robert Dugoni, Angela Marsons, and James Patterson hooked from the very start.

    The poor die sooner. Blacks die sooner. And poor urban Blacks die sooner than almost all other Americans. David Ansell has spent nearly four decades as a doctor at hospitals serving some of the poorest communities in Chicago, and has witnessed firsthand the lives behind these devastating statistics. In The Death Gap, he gives a grim survey of these realities, drawn from observations and stories of his patients. While the contrasts and disparities among Chicago's communities are particularly stark, the death gap is truly a nationwide epidemic - as Ansell shows, there is a 35-year difference in life expectancy between the healthiest and wealthiest and the poorest and sickest American neighborhoods. If you are poor, where you live in America can dictate when you die. It doesn't need to be this way; such divisions are not inevitable. Ansell calls out the social and cultural arguments that have been raised as ways of explaining or excusing these gaps, and he lays bare the structural violence that is really to blame. The Death Gap outlines a vision that will provide the foundation for a healthier nation - for all.  ungekürzt.
