Book Description
The true story of a series of bold killings which took place in a shadowy American expat community in Panama -- a tale of greed, political history, and murder. Journalist Nick Foster brings this uniquely bizarre place to life; shedding light on a community where many live under assumed names -- and sometimes people just disappear.". . . this bone-chilling account of a small-time criminal turned expat serial killer in the tropics will draw readers in with its charm before springing the trap. The depiction of beautiful beaches, scenic and lush surroundings and booze-filled parties belies the danger that lurks beneath the surface while the assiduously researched reportage expertly integrates the fascinating history of Panama -- the politics, corruption and greed -- into the tale of a dangerous sociopath. For fans of true crime in exotic locales and the rum-soaked adventures of Hunter S. Thompson." -- Bill's Bookshelf Selector, Bill Kelly

Book Description
"In the remote Bocas del Toro, Panama, William Dathan Holbert, aka 'Wild Bill,' is awaiting trial for the murder of five fellow American ex-patriots. Holbert's first victims were the Brown family, who lived on a remote island in the area's Darklands. There, Holbert turned their home into the 'Jolly Roger Social Club,' using drink- and drug-fueled parties to get to know other ex-pats ... But this is not just a book about what Holbert did and the complex financial and real estate motives behind the killings; it is about why Bocas del Toro turned out to be his perfect hunting ground, and why the community tolerated--even accepted--him for a time"

Book Description
The New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A psychologist's gripping, troubling, and moving exploration of the brutal murder of a possibly transgender middle school student by an eighth grade classmate On Feb. 12, 2008, at E. O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, CA, 14-year-old Brandon McInerney shot and killed his classmate, Larry King, who had recently begun to call himself "Leticia" and wear makeup and jewelry to school. Profoundly shaken by the news, and unsettled by media coverage that sidestepped the issues of gender identity and of race integral to the case, psychologist Ken Corbett traveled to LA to attend the trial. As visions of victim and perpetrator were woven and unwoven in the theater of the courtroom, a haunting picture emerged not only of the two young teenagers, but also of spectators altered by an atrocity and of a community that had unwittingly gestated a murder. Drawing on firsthand observations, extensive interviews and research, as well as on his decades of academic work on gender and sexuality, Corbett holds each murky facet of this case up to the light, exploring the fault lines of memory and the lacunae of uncertainty behind facts. Deeply compassionate, and brimming with wit and acute insight, A Murder Over a Girl is a riveting and stranger-than-fiction drama of the human psyche.
