Disposable Income: A True Story of Sex, Greed and Im-purr-fect Murder

Darlie Routier is on death row in Texas, convicted of the murder of one of her two sons, who were killed in the early morning of June 6, 1996.

But the prosecutor withheld very crucial evidence. After the trial...

Happy Father's Day
ISBN: 9781495246050 / Angielski / Miękka / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Having discussed women who kill their children in another book (From Mommy to Monster), I feel it only fair to look at the other side. Fathers who kill their children, and frequently their wives as well, are known as "Family Annihilators" to criminal psychologists or psychiatrists, and to law enforcement. They are not mentally ill, but coldly calculating, and often spend months planning their crimes. Because they often kill themselves too, these crimes don't always make the news in media-friendly trials, but in the United States, there are 10 murder-suicides each week. Fathers who kill their...

If you were a black man growing up in the south during the 50's and 60's you would know the true meaning of the title of this book. It was a time of segregation and hatred.

As we look back on the lives and deaths of three men in the height of the racially divided south of the 1950s and 60s. Let's keep in...
