<title>1) No Angel by Nils Johnson-Shelton &amp; Jay Dobyns</title>
<link>http://www.Fictionwise.com/ebooks/ebook81978.htm</link>
<description>"Compulsively page-turning. The true story of Jay Dobyns, all-American dad and undercover cop running and gunning with the most dangerous outlaws in the USA. A high-velocity trip into a frightening American underworld told in rapid-fire, hard-boiled prose." --Evan Wright, author of the national bestseller Generation Kill "No Angel pushes narrative nonfiction to new limits...If you wondered whether the bravura writing of Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson has a legacy, look no further. Dobyns leads us into the wacky, white world of the Hell's Angels, and with empathy and precision forces us to admit that bikers are all-too human."--Sudhir Venkatesh, author of Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets "Jay Dobyns is a hero.  Out of a sense of duty, he closed his eyes and made a journey into Hell.  For two years he walked through the valley of the shadow of death, but thankfully, he lived to tell this riveting story.  Highly recommended!"  --William "Billy" Queen, Special Agent ATF, Ret. and New York Times bestselling author of Under and Alone "A wild ride to the dark side. Jay Dobyns roars through the gritty underworld of organized crime that you never see in TV cop shows or read in the newspaper. He reveals the true, violent face of outlaw bikers--but also the tortured souls of the undercover cops who dare to infiltrate them."--Julian Sher, co-author Angels of Death: Inside the Bikers' Global Crime Empire "No Angel is an absolutely amazing account of one man's willingness to go above and beyond.  Jay Dobyns, his team and those like them live life on the edge in an environment most can only imagine.  This book provides a rare opportunity to share in the intensity, feel the adrenaline rush, smell the fear, and admire true courage and dedication."--Michael Durant, author of the New York Times bestseller In theCompany of Heroes  "Unprecedented and unputdownable...Most people reading this book would assume that it must be a novel since no human being could possibly be involved in so much action. However, this is the true story of a very special covert ATF agent who over decades immersed himself in the most violent and criminal culture known to law enforcement. Even as a former US Army Special Forces Operator and Police SWAT team leader, I found myself in awe of his death-defying exploits."--Dr.Richard Carmona, 17th Surgeon General of the United States "Ask yourself this question: would you put your life on the line for a cause? Jay Dobyns did. This book lets you experience some of the most dangerous activities of the best known biker gang in the world. Jay Dobyns brought honor to the ATF and is a true American hero." --T.J. Leyden, author of Skinhead Confessions </description>

<title>2) Dead Move: Kate Morgan and the Haunting Mystery of Coronado, Second Edition by John T. Cullen</title>
<link>http://www.Fictionwise.com/ebooks/ebook67002.htm</link>
<description>On Thanksgiving Day 1892, a beautiful young woman appeared mysteriously at the most exclusive resort in Southern California--the new Hotel del Coronado. There was something dark and ominous about her from the very beginning. She rented a room, and waited for an even more mysterious man who never did show up. In five days, she turned from a vibrant and healthy beauty into a trembling soul who could barely walk. Then, on the night of a thundering sea storm, she shot herself dead on the back steps of the hotel. Nobody knew who she was, or why she had come. Her case was instantly a national sensation, tinged with hints of unsavory plots and conspiracies in high circles. <<< >>> For weeks, her body lay on display in a San Diego mortuary, a morbid Victorian spectacle for thousands to view. Bit by bit, the press reported new, stunning, contradictory details that have not been resolved even today. This book proposes a dramatic new theory that examines the 'Beautiful Stranger' in a national and global context. Her identity changed almost daily as puzzled police across the nation searched for her brother, her doctor, her husband, her lover ... to no avail. Was the flawed coroner's inquest just botched, or a cover-up? Her story rubs elbows with kings, queens, tycoons, presidents, and Congressmen--always had a dark and disturbing tinge. Her ghost haunts the hotel even today.</description>

<title>3) In Cold Blood by Truman Capote</title>
<link>http://www.Fictionwise.com/ebooks/ebook2528.htm</link>
<description>On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues. Five years, four months and twenty-nine days later, on April 14, 1965, Richard Eugene Hickock, aged thirty-three, and Perry Edward Smith, aged thirty-six, were hanged from the crime on a gallows in a warehouse in the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing, Kansa. In Cold Blood is the story of the lives and deaths of these six people. It has already been hailed as a masterpiece.</description>

<title>4) Anyone You Want Me to Be: A True Story of Sex and Death on the Internet by John Douglas &amp; Stephen Singular</title>
<link>http://www.Fictionwise.com/ebooks/ebook10672.htm</link>
<description>John Douglas--the Bestselling Author of Mindhunter and the Undisputed Master Profiler of Serial Criminals--Tells the Chilling True Story of John Robinson, the Internet's First Serial Murderer. In Olathe, Kansas, a balding, pudgy father of four sits in prison convicted on three counts of homicide--two of capital murder--and suspected in at least five other disappearances. During the last half of the 1990s, John Robinson exploited the Internet's active world of sadomasochism with horrific results. By haunting chat rooms, he pinpointed vulnerable women who were looking for romance and stalked them on-line, nefariously convincing them of his maturity, sensitivity, and financial stability. He seemed like the perfect man. He enticed these women with offers of a solid relationship and a lucrative job, persuading them to move to his hometown. Once they arrived in Kansas, the women invariably disappeared. After a dramatic trial and days of intense jury deliberation, Robinson now faces the death penalty. Disturbing as his crimes may be, what's most alarming is how he selected and lured his victims and how willingly they responded. John Robinson expanded the hunting ground, the techniques, and the technology of the sexual predator. He is the world's first-known Internet serial killer. Law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and the coauthors of Anyone You Want Me to Be have struggled to unravel the enigma that is John Robinson. They reveal what can go wrong in a world where relationships are devoid of physical contact, showing how easily mainstream Americans can be drawn into the dark underground of cybercrime. The Internet has drastically expanded the realm of fantasy--from the limited confines of physical reality to the worldwide stage of virtual reality--and anyone can become involved in an on-line seduction. Erotic fantasies, which were once socially off-limits and extremely private, are now instantly accessible. This rapidly growing community masks a sinister truth: With only a computer, an Internet connection, and a knack for creativity, criminals have the power to reach millions of unsuspecting victims while remaining in complete control of their own--often false--image. John Robinson was a true innovator in this variety of crime. Through interviews with law enforcement specialists, Web experts, and others, John Douglas and Stephen Singular illustrate, with this case, a much larger--and more frightening--pattern of Internet sex and violence. As technology proliferates in the twenty-first century, so do opportunities for enterprising criminals like John Robinson. No one is better equipped than John Douglas and Stephen Singular to expose the underworld of the Internet and to warn people about the dangers of cyberspace. A cautionary and educational tale about being wary of strangers and false intimacy, Anyone You Want Me to Be is also a terrifying, high-tech story of crime and punishment.</description>

<title>5) Under and Alone by William Queen</title>
<link>http://www.Fictionwise.com/ebooks/ebook30429.htm</link>
<description>In 1998, William Queen was a veteran law enforcement agent with a lifelong love of motorcycles and a lack of patience with paperwork. When a "confidential informant" made contact with his boss at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, offering to take an agent inside the San Fernando chapter of the Mongols (the scourge of Southern California, and one of the most dangerous gangs in America), Queen jumped at the chance, not realizing that he was kicking-starting the most extensive undercover operation inside an outlaw motorcycle gang in the history of American law enforcement. Nor did Queen suspect that he would penetrate the gang so successfully that he would become a fully "patched-in" member, eventually rising through their ranks to the office of treasurer, where he had unprecedented access to evidence of their criminal activity. After Queen spent twenty-eight months as "Billy St. John," the bearded, beer-swilling, Harley-riding gang-banger, the truth of his identity became blurry, even to himself.</description>
