Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a heartbreaking crime at a nineteenth-century amusement park. On a summer day in 1893, against a backdrop of laughter and barrel organ music at Rocky Point Amusement Park, little Maggie Sheffield was murdered—by her own father. But the tragedy aroused a strange reaction from the peaceable community of Warwick, Rhode Island, as many seemed to be more concerned for the murderer, Frank Sheffield, than for his young victim. Frank was rumored to be insane or addicted to drugs, and after a trial, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. The murder did not tarnish Rocky Point’s reputation as a premier destination, and the park operated until 1995. Now, investigating official records and newspaper archives, author Kelly Sullivan Pezza uncovers the facts and oddities behind a grim crime in Rhode Island’s summer paradise.

Book excerpt: 1973. The Vietnam War ended. Richard Nixon began his second term as President of the United States. The Watergate Hearings splashed across TV screens for months foreshadowing the downfall of a tumultuous administration. OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, imposed an oil embargo that led to a sharp increase in gasoline prices and to Congress changing the national speed limit to 55mph, AKA “double nickels.” The Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade changed the face of women’s rights in controlling their own bodies. And in Hartford, the capital city of Connecticut, a talented young cat burglar is enjoying her profession and making a good living. She has no idea of the upheavals in her life that are simmering on the horizon. The first is a favor for a high-level mobster. A simple theft, it turns into a night of terror that has far-reaching consequences. At the same time her personal life is upended by familial twists that come out of left field and cause her to re-examine her values, life directions, emotional expectations, and what defines family. As she tries to navigate the twists and turns her life has taken and the unexpected choices she has to make she finds herself being dogged by a tenacious police detective, a determined killer, and the mobster that set her on a perilous course. Fleeing from attempts on her life she changes her name and builds a new life elsewhere. But the past has a way of catching up with you, and her past is closing in fast and furious...

In Salem, Massachusetts, AKA the “Witch City,” a young woman is building a life for herself and her young daughter, unaware that forces outside of her world are converging to drag them into a series of crimes that breach the boundaries of horror. Haunted by a past that more than brushed up against true evil she is challenged to move forward with promise and hope. As she is drawn into the miasma of crimes that test the skill of law enforcement she comes to realize that people around her are also burdened with sins that are erupting into the light and will change everything for everyone. As if that wasn’t enough her daughter is a special child whose remarkable powers constantly force her to walk the thin, tenuous line between darkness and light. The mother and daughter find themselves at the center of a diverse group of people who have their own secrets and sins, and who may or may not be involved in the crimes taking place in the infamous town in which they live. All concerned in the roiling, interlocking experiences that defined their pasts and might define their futures find themselves battling the consequences of sin in the struggle to overcome evil and emerge into the light.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, with more than twenty-four noted contributors, offers possible evidence of ancient immigrants, lost technologies, and places of power in ancient America long before the voyages of Christopher Columbus. While digging out basements near Los Angeles, homeowners unearth a 3,000-year-old Phoenician altar. A treasure-hunter in Ohio finds more than he expected when his metal detector locates an eastern Mediterranean pendant from 1000 BCE. Two caches of coins minted in Imperial Rome surface along the Ohio River. These are just a few of the examples that illustrate theories that there were foreign influences shaping the prehistory of the Americas.

They confirm that our continent was visited and influenced by visitors from Europe and the Near East hundreds, even thousands of years before its “official” discovery in 1492. As such, this startling, fresh proof of their powerful impact on the pre-Columbian New World offers us a different view of American origins that threatens to re-write mainstream textbooks.More than two dozen noted academics, researchers, and writers have contributed to this myth-shattering volume, including:Scott Wolter, a university-trained geologist, construction analysis company president, and author of The Hooked X, showcased on The History Channel;Dr. John J. White, editor emeritus of the Midwestern Epigraphic Society’s quarterly Journal;J.M.

Book excerpt: 1979. As the turbulent decade wound down Disco was still ruling the airwaves, but more complex music was rushing towards the scene. Boiling anti-American sentiments were fermenting in the Middle East, culminating in the hostage-taking of American embassy personnel and others in Tehran after the Shah fled to Egypt. The United States established full diplomatic relations with China. Using the “Twinkie” defense Dan White is only convicted of manslaughter in the murders of George Moscone and Harvey Milk. Michael Jackson broke through as a single artist with his album Off the Wall. Worldwide per capita oil production reached an historic peak. The Soviet Union launched its invasion of Afghanistan. With all the turmoil in the world people were still excited about reaching a new decade with all the promise underlying the negativity bubbling at the end of the 1970s. Big hair and shoulder pads were on the horizon. In the small city of Keene in southern New Hampshire strange murders have begun, starting with the decapitations of hitchhikers by a man who pays an ironic price. They continue in different manners with different victims, slowly revealing a dark pattern that intensifies the elusiveness of the perpetrator. People from different walks of life band together to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice: a crime novelist; a young police detective and his associates; a diligent, determined reporter; and a reclusive Asian man with a mysterious past who isn’t all he seems and might be something no one would suspect. As they pursue sharing investigations, theories, and clues, the twisted killer is stalking the city with a focused ruthlessness that is stacking up bodies and keeping his pursuers at bay. The climax of the hunt rushes towards an unexpected and heart-pounding conclusion in the wild White Mountains of New Hampshire. But that climax is far from the end of the story, a twist no one would have imagined, or prepared for ...
