John Hyland lives a small, tightly controlled life in suburban Chicago. He works a dull office job, keeps the same routines every day, and tries to stay ahead of painful memories from his past. Then an old man at a diner starts calling him by another name—Blaney—and seems certain John is tied to a long-ago crime involving stolen gold. That strange meeting cracks open the careful life John has built.As John tries to understand why this man has singled him out, the story begins to connect his lonely present to buried trauma, old violence, and a mystery that reaches back dec-ades. Fear follows him from the diner to his job, to his apartment, and finally out toward the rail lines linked to the famous robbery known as “The Big Touch.” John is no longer simply hiding from old wounds. He is pulled into something larger, darker, and far more dangerous than he expected.What remains is a mood of unease and quiet sorrow, mixed with deep empathy for a man cornered by memory, guilt, and the pull of the past.

When Anne Levey trusted a priest to help her troubled twelve-year-old son, she thought her prayers had been answered. She didn't know that Father Gerald Ridsdale—a predator who had already offended before—was using her faith against her. Paul was sent to live with his abuser in the Mortlake presbytery, where he was raped almost daily for close to a year. It would be decades before Paul found the words for what happened to him, and decades more before the Catholic Church admitted what it had always known: that Ridsdale was one of the most prolific pedophiles in Australian history, protected, reassigned, and shielded by leaders who chose the institution over its children.    On February 18, 2025, Ridsdale died in prison at ninety, still unrepentant, his last known reply to a question about his victims: "Hundreds." For Paul, the call that it was finally over brought relief—and a fresh wave of the trauma that has never fully left him. But Ridsdale's death didn't end the story. As the Church now fights survivors in court and quietly shuffles billion-dollar assets into subsidiaries it claims not to control, Paul is still telling the truth about what was done to him and to how many others. The Boy in the Presbytery is Paul Levey's account of survival, silence, and the refusal to let either the man or the institution that protected him have the last word.

When two General Motors executives drove into Crater Lake National Park in July 1952, no one could predict they would be dead within an hour—not even their killers. It was a crime of opportunity, a botched robbery during the middle of summer in a crowded national park. When Albert Jones and Charles Culhane were found shot to death two days later, the story became a national obsession. The FBI used every resource and available agent, but as time wore on, the investigation ran out of steam. A lack of evidence worked to the killer’s advantage. He had committed a perfect crime. The FBI tried hard to solve the case. Their 2,000+ page report details a staggeringly complex, multi-agency effort: 200 ballistic tests, 1,000 interviews, and 466 license plate identifications. The man-hours were beyond calculation and yielded valuable information—buried within the individual reports of the FBI, Oregon State Police, and local agencies are many clues to the nature and identity of the perpetrator. The FBI file has rarely been seen by anyone outside the Bureau until December 2015, when the author received it on two discs, satisfying a Freedom of Information Act request submitted three years before. This book summarizes all the information: the FBI file, Oregon State Police reports, fresh research and interviews, county records, rare firsthand accounts, reaction from one victim’s family, and an obscure college thesis that first named the killer. Add to this the personal account of a man to whom the killer confessed. Before the confessor died, he swore his wife to secrecy, reminding her about “the things that nobody talks about.” The Crater Lake Murders tells the true narrative: four men with nothing in common until the day they met and, after that, the Fate all Men share.

In typical serial killer novels, the victims are a footnote. In this book, they’re the whole story. Betty. Tina. Sarah. Leslie. Chrissy. Sheena. Sherry. Lena. Debbie. Ashley.   The ten victims in The Furious Others lived ordinary lives until serial killer Jason LeDown entered stage left, knife in hand, with a belly full of bad intentions. That’s where fear is found, in the space between a typical Friday and a man intent on murder. The fictional characters in The Furious Others depict real people: mothers, lovers, hip-hop aficionados, and green thumbs, united by the tragedy of lost lives. Author and clinical psychologist Dr. Ashley Baker PSYD envisions a fictional world where the murderer is not the main character in the serial killer trope. Instead of exploring Jason Le Down’s methods of madness, Dr. Baker chooses to honor the victims rather than romanticize monsters. As a condition of Jason’s LeDown’s purgatory, those he harmed reflect on their humanity, proving they’re more than crime scene photos or roadside crosses. In this multiple point of view novel, the deceased blaze a fast-paced trail, recounting their last moments, with tentacles of grief stretching across timelines.  In The Furious Others, Dr. Baker, drawing from her own experience of devastating loss, paints a vivid picture of collective trauma and sorrow. The quest for closure drives the story to its gripping conclusion, making The Furious Others a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.

It’s 1984 in West Germany when U.S. Army Counter-Intelligence Agent Conrad Vogel gets a routine assignment—a background check on a low-level enlisted soldier. Expecting little to come of it, he soon uncovers the GI’s relationship with a German barmaid—a barmaid who knows much more than she should and people that she shouldn’t, and what appeared to be routine suddenly becomes anything but. With the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact nations still a potent threat to the Free World, and terrorist bombings and assassinations in full swing against military personnel, Conrad sets out to unravel a web of espionage, betrayal, and murder.

In 1891, a new London magazine, The Strand, decided to publish short mysteries in connected series. Arthur Conan Doyle’s short stories about Sherlock Holmes nearly doubled the magazine’s circulation, and Doyle became rich. Other magazines searched for tales with the same kind of appeal. Dozens of men and women began to write detective stories in the series format of the Holmes Adventures. An enormous flowering of this kind of tale followed, with stories that featured women and men detectives, professionals and amateurs, young and old, aristocrats, gentlefolk, and plain folk. Detectives went rogue and became burglars and conmen. Others developed occult powers. It was a Golden Era of detective fiction, and it lasted for two and a half decades until the First World War. Nothing of its variety had been seen before. Michael Cohen’s The Golden Era of Sherlock Holmes and His Contemporaries is a guide to this trove of stories that fascinated readers a century and a quarter ago. In clear and crisp prose, Cohen takes you through the variety of stories with brief descriptions, and he shows you where to find the stories online in their original, illustrated magazine versions. Here you’ll find names you knew, such as Chesterton’s Father Brown, and less well-known ones, such as Ernest Bramah’s blind detective Max Carrados, Anna Katherine Green’s debutante detective Violet Strange, and Gelett Burgess’s “Seer of Secrets,” Astro.

The zombies are here. An accidental outbreak of a mutated virus unleashes hundreds of the undead on the sleepy town of Flat Rock, Nevada. Now, Sheriff Penny Miller must use her wits, grit, and damn near all of her ammunition to endure the arrival of zombies. Sheriff Miller quickly finds herself leading a vicious biker named Scratch, her ex-husband Terrill Lee, and a unit of incompetent National Guardsmen to safety. At their heels is Colonel Sanchez, the wicked Army commander who is pursuing Miller to gain the special powers the virus has given her. With a gang of murderous bikers on their tail and surrounded by slobbering hordes, Sheriff Miller must do what she does best: Aim for the brain!   “THE HUNGRY is a zombie thriller loaded with sex and smarts. A real nail-biter that brings a new weapon to bear in apocalyptic fiction: Hope. Highly recommended.” —Jonathan Maberry, NYT Times bestselling author of Dust & Decay and Dead of Night   “If you’re craving an apocalyptic horror novel that’s not just wall-to-wall action but balls-to-the-wall intense, Steven W. Booth and Harry Shannon have cooked up a real treat for you. I would say The Hungry will leave you totally satisfied, but that’s not true: Readers will be howling for more more more MORE just like the hordes of insatiable zombies rampaging through this book.” —Steve Hockensmith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls   “You don't know what gut-churning page-flipping horror really is until you read this one. The Hungry combines the storytelling power of the big commercial thriller with many new twists on standard zombie fiction. A real winner.” —Ed Gorman, author of The Dark Fantastic and Cage of Night  

The Innocence Machine examines what happens when the search for justice becomes its own kind of runaway system. Wrongful convictions are real, and innocence organizations have helped free people who never should have been imprisoned. But the same movement can also create powerful stories that overlook evidence, minimize victims, and turn convicted criminals into symbols before the facts have been fully weighed. Through a series of true crime cases, Steve Scarborough looks at the darker side of innocence campaigns, from high-profile documentaries and podcasts to public “Free” movements, celebrity cases, alternate-suspect theories, DNA claims, and appeals based on technical errors. The result is a hard look at how emotion, media pressure, and selective storytelling can reshape public belief. This is not an attack on the work of freeing the truly innocent. It is a call for caution. Every case deserves scrutiny, but scrutiny must include all the evidence, not only the pieces that support a preferred narrative. For readers of true crime, criminal justice, and wrongful conviction stories, The Innocence Machine offers a challenging view of a system built to correct injustice and asks what happens when that system begins creating its own.

Some stories disappear long before they are ever solved. A missing woman becomes a faded headline. A murdered girl becomes a file stored in a box somewhere inside a courthouse basement. Families learn to live between hope and grief while communities slowly stop asking questions. Over time, silence settles in where outrage once existed. The Lost Girls of Arkansas confronts that silence head-on. In this powerful investigative work, award-winning author, journalist, and victims’ advocate LaDonna Humphrey examines missing persons cases and unsolved murders that continue to haunt Arkansas decades later. Through deeply researched storytelling, firsthand investigative work, and a victim-centered approach, Humphrey explores the lives behind the cases — not as statistics or sensational headlines, but as daughters, sisters, mothers, and human beings whose stories deserve far more attention than they received. Set against the backdrop of rural highways, isolated communities, river towns, and dense Arkansas forests, the book traces the lingering impact of unresolved violence across generations. It examines how poverty, addiction, indifference, institutional failure, media disparities, and social stigma often shaped which victims received urgency and which were quietly forgotten. In many cases, the investigations stalled long before the pain did. Rather than glorifying violence, The Lost Girls of Arkansas focuses on the emotional and societal aftermath when justice never comes. Families fracture beneath unanswered questions. Witnesses carry secrets for decades. Entire communities adapt to fear, rumor, and uncertainty while predators sometimes remain hidden in plain sight. Humphrey brings both investigative rigor and emotional depth to these cases, challenging readers to look beyond the surface of true crime and confront the broader realities surrounding unsolved violence in overlooked places. The result is a haunting and deeply human examination of memory, loss, justice, and the enduring fight to make sure victims are not erased by time. LaDonna Humphrey is an award-winning author, investigative journalist, filmmaker, and nationally recognized advocate for victims of crime. She is the co-founder of All the Lost Girls and host of investigative podcasts focused on missing persons, cold cases, and justice reform. Her work has earned recognition for its ethical approach, relentless research, and commitment to giving voice to victims and families too often ignored. Every name matters. Every story counts. Some cases should never be forgotten. LaDonna Humphrey is currently working on additional investigative volumes including The Lost Girls of Alaska, The Lost Girls of Oklahoma, and The Lost Girls of Washington.

Billy The Liquor Guy spent twelve years as an undercover investigator working for New York’s Petroleum, Alcohol, and Tobacco Bureau (PATB), which enforces tax laws for imports into the state. Sounds pretty tame, right? In fact, it was challenging, harrowing, and life-threatening, leading Billy and his team to develop PTSD on the job and for years to come. Much of this is detailed in Billy’s first book, Under Too Long. The Making of Billy the Liquor Guy fills in the rest of the story. It is a wide-ranging saga of undercover operations, criminal takedowns, and wild successes—as well as internal affairs investigations, betrayals, and serious repercussions stemming from the lack of trust and political game-playing in the bureau. Not exactly a prequel, The Making of Billy the Liquor Guy gives the backstory behind Under Too Long, introduces familiar characters, and explains who Billy was when he began his career as an undercover operator, as well as what he became as a result of the stress, deception, and treachery he experienced in the PATB. The Making of Billy the Liquor Guy is a must-read for anyone who wants to know what undercover operations, often romanticized in the media, are truly like, as well as anyone who enjoyed Billy’s first book, Under Too Long.

When she was a little girl, a stranger used the one thing he shouldn’t have known—her father’s love of fishing—to nearly walk her out of a crowded Oklahoma bowling alley. Her father’s scream stopped him in time. He was never caught. Forty years later, LaDonna Humphrey—now a cold-case investigator who has spent her career searching for other people’s missing daughters—turns that same skill on her own case. She releases a composite sketch. She reopens court records. She finds men who almost fit and watches hope collapse each time a date or a location doesn’t line up. What starts as a search for one man becomes something larger: a map of how many ordinary men moved quietly through the same small towns and how many families never got the answer she’s still chasing. The Man at Hilltop Lanes doesn’t end with an arrest. It ends with a harder, truer question: what do you do with a story that refuses to close? Part memoir, part cold-case file, told by a woman who has spent her life on both sides of that question. The Man at Hilltop Lanes releases on July 17, 2026. Order yours today!

You thought you knew The Monkees. Then there were the comic books. At the height of Monkeemania, Davy, Micky, Mike, and Peter escaped television and landed in a medium with an even looser relationship with reality. The result was The Monkees comic-book series: gloriously strange adventures filled with disguises, spies, sharks, cows, elephants, impossible escapes, fourth-wall-breaking gags, instant changes of scenery, and the kind of logic that makes perfect sense only when The Monkees are involved. Now that wonderfully peculiar corner of Monkees history has been brought back together in The Monkees Comic Book Book: Reference Book and Price Guide. The original comics have been carefully digitally restored, reviving their bright colors and exuberant artwork while preserving the character of the originals. But this is more than a trip through vintage panels. It's also a collector's guide to the series, including a complete price guide to the original comics, background on collecting them, and a timeline placing the comic releases alongside what was happening in the world of The Monkees at the time. Along the way, you'll also find: the story of collecting the original Monkees comics an extensive interview with legendary Monkees comic artist Jose Delbo a complete price guide for the original issues a timeline connecting the comics to the larger Monkees story memories and commentary from people connected to The Monkees, comics, television, music, and 1960s pop culture a foreword by Peter Noone contributions and appearances from Bobby Hart, Butch Patrick, Deana Martin, Bill Mumy, James Lee Stanley, Jon Provost, and many more photographs, memorabilia, history, and several delightful detours that could probably happen only in a book about The Monkees Authors Mark Arnold and Charles F. Rosenay!!! previously teamed up for Not Just Happy Together: The Turtles from A-Z (AM Radio to Zappa), their sprawling guide to the music, history, personalities, and wonderfully tangled universe surrounding The Turtles. Here, they bring that same collector's curiosity to one of the most unusual corners of Monkees history. This is not an attempt to make The Monkees comic books more dignified than they were. Quite the opposite. It's a chance to enjoy them again in all their colorful, corny, chaotic, fourth-wall-demolishing glory while preserving the history around them and giving collectors a practical guide to the originals. Part restored comic collection, part reference book, part price guide, part pop-culture time machine, The Monkees Comic Book Book is exactly as strange, useful, and specific as its title suggests. Paperback edition.
