Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A holiday Grinch is out to steal Christmas from the animals. The Furry Friends Foster Families December Donation Drive is in full swing when Kat Harper and her friend Imogene Little receive a devastating blow. A Christmas quilt set to bring in a lot of money for the rescue animals of Cherry Hills, Washington, has been stolen. It isn't long before several seasonal suspects emerge, each with more motive than the last. And as much as Kat doesn't want to believe one of 4F's foster parents might be responsible for betraying the nonprofit organization, it's a possibility she can't ignore. The only trouble is, nobody knows exactly how the quilt ended up in the burglar's hands. With no sign of forced entry, is this a true locked-room mystery or a much more straightforward "whodunit"? Kat's not sure, but when 4F is targeted a second time, the amateur sleuth realizes she needs to wrap up this investigation quickly if she doesn't want the guilty party to strike again. All of the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery books can be enjoyed as standalones but will be better appreciated as part of the series. The books are light, fun cozy mysteries featuring an animal-loving female amateur sleuth, lovable and not-so-lovable quirky characters, and a page-turning mystery that needs solving. None of the books include cliffhangers, bad language, or graphic scenes. keywords: cat cozy mysteries, cozy mystery series, amateur female sleuths, whodunit mysteries set in small-town USA, mystery ebooks for animal lovers, animal rescue ebooks, contemporary cozy mystery ebooks, cozy crime mystery books, humorous crime whodunit, mystery books starring women sleuths, long-running series that can be read as stand-alones, kitty mysteries, humorous escapist fiction, homicide police investigation, ebooks featuring amateur detectives, criminal investigations with feline sidekicks, cat cozy mystery series set in a small town, animal stories, humor and hijinks, small town fiction starring gumshoe women sleuths, non-murder mystery whodunits, women gumshoe detectives who solve crimes, pet cozy mysteries, quick uplifting mystery reads, mysteries with cats, small town novice women sleuths with rescue cats, kitty cozies, fun kitty cozies, cozy mystery that needs solving, charming cat mystery and thriller books, no-murder mystery ebooks, clean mystery series, cozy cat caper mysteries, felines in fiction, small-town detective books with happy endings, series that can be read as stand-alones, amateur women sleuth detective, winter cozy mystery, cat caper crime mystery series, animal cozy mystery fiction featuring cats, cop characters in small towns, small town amateur investigators and police detectives, whimsical amateur investigator short reads, novice detective series with standalone storylines, amateur detective series, contemporary mystery ebook without murder, cat cosy mysteries set in the United States, American cosy murder mystery series, USA kitty cosies, mystery whodunits, criminal mystery ebooks, cozy non-murder mysteries featuring cats, cozy criminal mysteries, cat and animal cozies, animal mysteries with small town settings, fictional felony police investigations, gumshoe sleuth ebook, humorous ebooks for adult women, kit lit, mysterious criminal suspects, suspicious crime, lighthearted animal cozies, mystery books for adult women, likable women detectives, small-town friendships, clean beach reads, Yuletide ebook downloads, female sleuth gumshoe lead, funny cat books, kitty cozy criminal mysteries, quirky characters with secrets, small-town relationships, criminal foul play, whimsical women sleuths, short fun clean ebooks, mysteries to solve, law enforcement mysteries, women novice detective, headstrong cat characters, humorous crime capers, foster care heroine, feel-good law enforcement fiction, Central Washington State settings, fun wholesome whodunnit, family drama, neighborhood robbery, foster cat rescue program, animal rescue fundraiser, children and animals, dachshund dog antics, locked room mystery, impossible crime, animal rescue mystery without murder, Christmas cozy mystery ebooks, holiday kitty cozies, seasonal whodunits

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapy can kill. It's Thanksgiving, and Kat Harper's glamorous mother Maybelle is back in Cherry Hills, Washington. But her return isn't the joyous holiday reunion Kat had hoped for, not when Maybelle ends up becoming the prime suspect in a brutal murder. To make matters worse, the victim is none other than Kat's psychotherapist, Dr. Deana Dietrich. Kat can't deny her mother has secrets, but she also doesn't believe Maybelle is a killer. Luckily, there are other suspects to consider, like Dr. D's mysterious new boyfriend, an unstable patient or two, and the man who sent the victim a smitten love letter mere days before her death. Any one seems capable of committing a crime of passion, and Kat is determined to find out which one is guilty. But Kat isn't the only one actively working to figure out "whodunit." Her mother has taken it upon herself to do some amateur sleuthing of her own, and Maybelle's tactics aren't exactly on the right side of the law. Now Kat fears if she can't identify the killer soon, her mother just might end up staying in Cherry Hills for much longer than anticipated—and she'll be eating her next turkey dinner wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Imogene Little is looking forward to a day off from investigating murders when she attends the wedding of her friend Martina. She's especially looking forward to seeing Chopin, Martina's rescue cat, serve as ring bearer. But when the bride's heirloom ring ends up missing before the ceremony is set to begin, Imogene soon finds herself drawn into another mystery. Martina insists someone in attendance must have stolen the ring. Could it have been her sister Carmen, who wanted the family heirloom saved for her own wedding day?

If she fails to locate the ring soon, this marriage might just be called off for good.

Book excerpt: In April 2006, Mary Turner Thomson received a call that blew her life apart. The woman on the other end of the line told her that Will Jordan, Mary's husband and the father of her two younger children, had been married to her for fourteen years and they had five children together. The Bigamist is the shocking true story of how one man manipulated an intelligent, independent woman, conning her out of £200,000 and leaving her to bring up the children he claimed he could never have. It's a story we all think could never happen to us, but this shameless con man has been doing the same thing to various other women for at least 27 years, spinning a tangled web of lies and deceit to cover his tracks. How far would you go to help the man you love? How far would he go to deceive you? And what would you do when you found out it was all a lie?

Book excerpt: London’s Underworld takes us on the nightmarish last journeys of condemned criminals to the gallows at Tyburn. We enter death-trap eighteenth century prisons, one of which the novelist Henry Fielding described as a ‘prototype of hell’. We walk the crowded streets of Victorian London with its swarms of prostitutes and follow the ingenious villains who carried out the first great train robbery in 1854. We see the rise and fall of the interwar racecourse gangs and the bloody battle for control of the Wes End. This fascinating book illustrates how crime in the capital has evolved from the extreme violence of the early eighteenth century to the vastly more complex and lucrative, but no less brutal, gangland of today.

Book excerpt: "[N]o other writer tells better stories about the perpetual, the unwinnable, battle between narrative and truth." --The New York Times Book Review The Crime of Sheila McGough is Janet Malcolm's brilliant exposé of miscarriage of justice in the case of Sheila McGough, a disbarred lawyer recently released from prison. McGough had served 2 1/2 years for collaborating with a client in his fraud, but insisted that she didn't commit any of the 14 felonies she was convicted. An astonishingly persuasive condemnation of the cupidity of American law and its preference for convincing narrative rather than the truth, this is also a story with an unconventional heroine. McGough is a zealous defense lawyer duped by a white-collar con man; a woman who lives, at the age of 54, with her parents; a journalistic subject who frustrates her interviewer with her maddening literal-mindedness. Spirited, illuminating, delightfully detailed, The Crime of Sheila McGough is both a dazzling work of journalism and a searching meditation on character and the law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the morning of September 15, 1963, a bomb exploded outside the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls. Thirty-two years later, stymied by a code of silence and an imperfect and often racist legal system, only one person, Robert “Dynamite Bob” Chambliss, had been convicted in the murders, though a wider conspiracy was suspected. With many key witnesses and two suspects already dead, there seemed little hope of bringing anyone else to justice. But in 1995 the FBI and local law enforcement reopened the investigation in secret, led by detective Ben Herren of the Birmingham Police Department and special agent Bill Fleming of the FBI. For over a year, Herren and Fleming analyzed the original FBI files on the bombing and activities of the Ku Klux Klan, then began a search for new evidence. Their first interview—with Klansman Bobby Frank Cherry—broke open the case, but not in the way they expected. Told by a longtime officer of the Birmingham Police Department, Last Chance for Justice is the inside story of one of the most infamous crimes of the civil rights era. T. K. Thorne follows the ups and downs of the investigation, detailing how Herren and Fleming identified new witnesses and unearthed lost evidence. With tenacity, humor, dedication, and some luck, the pair encountered the worst and best in human nature on their journey to find justice, and perhaps closure, for the citizens of Birmingham.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the governor of Maryland, the “compassionate” (People), “startling” (Baltimore Sun), “moving” (Chicago Tribune) true story of two kids with the same name: One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison. The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his. In December 2000, the Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student who had just received a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore. Wes just couldn’t shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting him: Who are you? How did this happen? That letter led to a correspondence and relationship that have lasted for several years. Over dozens of letters and prison visits, Wes discovered that the other Wes had had a life not unlike his own: Both had had difficult childhoods, both were fatherless; they’d hung out on similar corners with similar crews, and both had run into trouble with the police. At each stage of their young lives they had come across similar moments of decision, yet their choices would lead them to astonishingly different destinies. Told in alternating dramatic narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

Book excerpt: Boston has had its share of bookies and loan sharks, gangsters and wiseguys, hoodlums and hit men. From the Great Brink's Robbery, which was hailed as the crime of the century; to the long-forgotten Cotton Club in Roxbury, where the legendary nightlife kingpin Charlie "King" Solomon was gunned down; to the infamous Blackfriars Massacre, a brutal gangland slaying that left five men dead, slumped over a backgammon game in a cramped basement office--all of these dark moments in time are a part of Boston's history that is rarely spoken about. Boston Organized Crime explores the region's shadier side and takes a closer look at the mobsters and racketeers who once operated in the Greater Boston area. Drawing upon an eclectic collection of crime scene photographs, mug shots, and police documents, author Emily Sweeney takes readers on an eye-opening journey through Boston's underworld, from the bootlegging days of Prohibition to the bloody gangland wars of the 1960s.

They share a passion for Edward Albee and ecstasy and fall hard and fast in love. But soon Emily has to move home to Elba, New York, and he flunks out of school and joins the army. Desperate to keep their relationship alive, they marry before he ships out to Iraq. But as an army medic, he is unprepared for the grisly reality that awaits him. His fellow soldiers smoke; they huff computer duster; they take painkillers; they watch porn. And many of them die. He and Emily try to make their long-distance marriage work, but when he returns from Iraq, his PTSD is profound, and the drugs on the street have changed. The opioid crisis is beginning to swallow up the Midwest. Soon he is hooked on heroin, and so is Emily. They attempt a normal life, but with their money drying up, he turns to the one thing he thinks he could be really good at - robbing banks. Hammered out on a prison typewriter, Cherry marks the arrival of a raw, bleakly hilarious, and surprisingly poignant voice straight from the dark heart of America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the papers given at a workshop organised by the Home Office (England and Wales) on the subject of residential burglary. This is a topic of much public concern, and I welcome the Home Office initiative in mounting the workshop. The contributors were all researchers and crim inologists who have made a special study of burglary, and their brief was to consider the implications of their work for policy. As a policeman, I find their work of particular interest and relevance at this time when police per formance, as traditionally measured by the clear-up rate, is not keeping pace with the increase in the numbers of burglaries coming to police attention. The finding that increases in burglary are more reflective of the public's reporting habits than of any significant rise in the actual level of burglary helps with perspective but offers little comfort to policemen. The 600/0 in crease in the official statistics since 1970 is accompanied by a proportionate increase in police work in visiting victims, searching scenes of crime, writing crime reports, and completing other documentation. In some forces the point has been reached where available detective time is so taken up by the volume of visits and reports that there is little remaining for actual in vestigation. But because of the random and opportunist nature of burglary, it cannot be said with any confidence that increasing investigative capacity would make a significant and lasting impact on the overall burglary figures.
