We Is Got Him
Author: Carrie Hagen
Publisher: ABRAMS
ISBN: 159020896X
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This “relentlessly suspenseful” story of America’s first known kidnapping in nineteenth century Philadelphia is “elegantly told, superbly accomplished” (The Philadelphia Enquirer). In 1874, a little boy named Charley Ross was snatched from his family’s front yard in Philadelphia. A ransom note arrived three days later, demanding twenty thousand dollars for the boy’s return. The city was about to host the America’s Centennial celebration, and the mass panic surrounding the Charley Ross case plunged the nation into hysteria. The desperate search led the police to inspect every building in Philadelphia, set up saloon surveillance in New York’s notorious slums, and begin a national manhunt. With white-knuckle suspense and historical detail, Hagen vividly captures the dark side of an earlier America. Her brilliant portrayal of its criminals, detectives, politicians, spiritualists, and ordinary families will stay with the reader long after the final page. “Hagen skillfully narrates a saga that transcends one kidnapping, a saga tied up with the World’s Fair that was about to open in Philadelphia.” —Kirkus Reviews “As Erik Larson mined the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair for Devil in the White City, Hagen chronicles a tragically more relevant 19th-century story.” —Michael Capuzzo, author of The Murder Room

Book Description
Toby Sinclair is convinced there is a killer in his future-lethal, amoral, vicious-not to mention highly elusive since Toby continues to remain alive and unharmed despite his fears. When he is pressured by his only friend to help a drifter bury a steamer trunk in the middle of the woods, a drifter who flaunts his abusive habits, Toby is satisfied that he has found his murderer. It is a fact that both alarms, and in a strange way, fulfills him. His prediction about his own fate is compromised when he realizes that instead of becoming a victim he finds himself to be an accomplice to whatever is hidden in the buried steamer trunk. To be cleared of the suspicion he must endure a parade of strange characters, high-octane spirits, absurd situations and his own struggle between loyalty and justice. "Wet Brain" is a novel that borrows the skin of empty paranoia and creates the farcical face of a man vexed at his failure to properly succumb to his own destructive destiny.

Air Force Cop: An Autobiography
Author: Kelly D. Harrison
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN: 1480996653
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
Air Force Cop An Autobiography By: Kelly D. Harrison The enforcement of law in the US Armed Forces is covered by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and, when applicable, Title 18 of the US Code. There are other regulations and directives that can result in punitive action. The US Armed Forces is a US taxpayer funded enterprise with the US Army and US Navy almost as old as the nation itself. Crimes against property in the armed forces are not like that of breaking into a privately owned jewelry store in New York City, since all property “owned” by the military branches is property of the US Government. Military members and others who damage, destroy or steal property of the US Government and fellow military members are dealt with harshly. This includes those military members and civilians who commit murder, rape, acts of serious bodily injury and other “index crimes” such as auto theft, arson, kidnapping, etc., within the jurisdiction of the federal government. The US Armed Forces have several consolidated confinement facilities and the US Disciplinary Barracks at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. Each military branch has their own police and investigative agencies for dealing with crimes against property and people. In the US Air Force, there are the Security Forces (previously known as Air Police and Security Police) for protection of base resources, traffic control enforcement and investigation of misdemeanor offenses. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) is a cadre of enlisted, officer and civilian special agents (all with Federal Law Enforcement Officer status) who are highly trained in specialties such as forensics, fraud, counter-intelligence, polygraph, computer crimes, electronic technical support (hidden cameras, electronic sweeping for covert recording devices, etc.) and general crimes such as arson, homicides, child abuse along with every other imaginable offense against property and people.
