The only thing he could rely upon to get him through were his confidence, his sense of humor, and his team.

The Skeptical Juror's Handbook
$17.95
Don't Believe Everything You Read On the Internet... Or Hear in a Courtroom
Courtrooms are supposed to be where truth comes out. But sometimes, trials look more like games, with lawyers using tricks to win instead of focusing on facts. The Skeptical Juror’s Handbook of Lawyers’ Dirty Tricks takes a clear, straightforward look at the strategies attorneys may use to confuse, distract, or mislead during a trial.
From jury selection to closing arguments, this handbook uncovers common tactics such as gaslighting, semantic wordplay, witness coaching, and even theatrical performances meant to sway opinion. It explains how evidence can be twisted, how reputations can be manipulated, and how both prosecution and defense may play fast and loose with the truth.
The book doesn’t just name the tricks—it shows them in action through real cases, where unusual defenses and outrageous claims shaped courtroom outcomes. Along the way, readers see how jurors are asked to cut through the noise and focus on facts.
Written in plain language with real-world examples, this handbook shines a light on the hidden maneuvers of the justice system. It is both a guide to understanding trials and a reminder of the vital role jurors play in protecting fairness and justice.

Bill Powers
Murderous Rage
$16.95
When tragedy struck, the entire system answered the call.
On the morning after Christmas in 2000, the small city of Wakefield, Massachusetts, faced something no one could have expected: a workplace turned into a scene of mass murder. In just a few short minutes, seven people were killed inside a tech company office by one of their own—a quiet employee named Michael McDermott.
The shock didn’t end with the tragedy. It marked the start of the largest homicide investigation in state history. Murderous Rage follows the case from the first police radio call to the final court ruling. Told by one of the lead investigators, this book shows how detectives, prosecutors, and forensic experts worked side by side, piecing together evidence, interviewing witnesses, and staying focused through media pressure and public fear.
Through snowstorms, crowded courtrooms, and hundreds of interviews, the investigative team pushed forward. What they uncovered wasn’t just how the crime happened, but why—and what could have been done to prevent it.
This book isn't about heroes or villains. It’s about professionals doing their jobs with care, teamwork, and a shared commitment to justice for the victims. It’s a powerful look at how real investigations happen, far from the way they’re shown on TV.

When the Smoke Cleared
$19.95
In the summer of 2000, a small fire in a condo basement in Malden, Massachusetts, seemed like just another routine call. But behind the smoke was something far more disturbing—a violent scene with no victim in sight. Detective Lieutenant Bill Powers of the Massachusetts State Police and his team of seasoned investigators joined forces with local detectives to uncover what happened in that quiet building.
As the team dug deeper, they faced a complex case without a body, a confession, or clear answers. Clues came slowly: strange behavior from a tenant, a missing person no one had reported, and a hidden crime scene soaked not only in water and gasoline—but in blood. With persistence and teamwork, they traced the path of a young woman, Kelly Hancock, a runaway who had vanished without a trace.
This book follows every step of the investigation, from the moment firefighters broke down the door to the final verdict in a packed courtroom. Along the way, it reveals the work of detectives, prosecutors, forensic scientists, and everyday people who helped bring justice to a victim whose voice was almost lost.
Told with care and clarity, When the Smoke Cleared isn’t just about solving a murder—it’s about what it takes to stand up for someone when no one else will.

FBI Files: The Profiler

This book takes readers from small-town Iowa to major cities like Los Angeles and Chicago, following real cases involving everything from gambling rings to missing children and serial killers.
Klismet's work helped shape how law enforcement builds criminal profiles today. With honesty, a dose of dry humor, and an eye for detail, he recounts what it was like to work undercover, chase fugitives, and train with legends of the Behavioral Science Unit. The book also highlights the challenges agents face, the unexpected turns in big investigations, and the human side of law enforcement rarely seen in the headlines.
Originally published to international acclaim, FBI Files: The Profiler now returns in this updated edition—bringing new readers into the world of a job that once felt as rare as spotting a unicorn.
