This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First introduced in Peter Warren's novel, Confederate Gold and Silver, the author's principal protagonist, Paul Waring, along with his wife, Donna, and Paul's best friend, Bobby Ray Jenkins, head up an exciting and talented list of criminal investigators from across South Carolina's Grand Strand. Confronted by a series of brutal murders, and with little evidence to work with, Bobby Ray, the commander of the Georgetown County Sheriff's Department's Major Case Squad, along with his boss, Sheriff Leroy Renda, convince Paul to help them work these on-going murders. Retired from the Connecticut State Police Department, Paul's background includes not only being one of Connecticut's top investigators prior to his retirement, but someone who also enjoyed a long and successful stint as a criminal investigator. Paul's expertise in dealing with a host of vicious and brutal criminals, including a lengthy list of murderers and drug runners, caused many departments across Connecticut to have sought his help in solving a wide variety of complex crimes that were not only sadistic and heinous, but brutal and disturbing in how the victims were killed. As Paul joins the task force Renda and Bobby Ray have created, a key piece of evidence continues to be left behind at each of the scenes where the killer has dumped his victims' remains. This key piece of evidence are red bandanas that, in some cases, have been left stuffed inside the mouths of each of the victims. Also left at each of the scenes by the killer are notes; each covers a range of different topics. As the investigations continue, so do the killings. But then, as these bandanas are closely examined by Paul, Bobby Ray, and Douglas Vane, the chief forensic examiner for the Georgetown County Sheriff's Department, Paul notices several clues the others have missed. One of those clues soon leads him to their second suspect. He then advises his partners of the presence of this second killer; someone just as brutal as their first suspect. As Paul and the others struggle to identify their primary suspect, Donna Waring makes what she believes to be an innocent comment regarding someone she knows. From this point on, Park works feverishly to connect the evidence to the person Donna has mentioned. As he delves into each of these murders, Paul also works to find the answer to one other issue. Why have the victims been murdered in Myrtle Beach and their bodies dumped in Georgetown. THE HORRY COUNTY MURDERS takes place along the scenic Grand Strand in South Carolina. Readers who have visited Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, and Georgetown, SC, will enjoy how Warren has used many popular tourist attractions as the scenes for this story. The excitement and suspense Warren has weaved into this tantalizing murder mystery will keep readers on edge as they turn each page. A former Major Crime commander, as well as being the longest serving commanding officer of the Connecticut State Police Department's Statewide Narcotic Task Force, Warren's vast experience has allowed him to write a story which readers of crime novels and murder mysteries will thoroughly enjoy. This is a MUST read for those who enjoy a fast-paced novel while trying to identify who the two killers are that Paul's skills and talents have finally identified. Can you identify who the two killers are? The author of seven novels, Warren's latest story, FORGOTTEN TREASURE, is a sequel to his popular novel, CONFEDERATE GOLD AND SILVER.
Download or read book Murder in the Garment District written by David Witwer and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling and true account of racketeering and union corruption in mid-century New York, when unions and the mob were locked in a power struggle that reverberates to this day In 1949, in New York City's crowded Garment District, a union organizer named William Lurye was stabbed to death by a mob assassin. Through the lens of this murder case, prize-winning authors David Witwer and Catherine Rios explore American labor history at its critical turning point, drawing on FBI case files and the private papers of investigative journalists who first broke the story. A narrative that originates in the garment industry of mid-century New York, which produced over 80 percent of the nation's dresses at the time, Murder in the Garment District quickly moves to a national stage, where congressional anti-corruption hearings gripped the nation and forever tainted the reputation of American unions. Replete with elements of a true-crime thriller, Murder in the Garment District includes a riveting cast of characters, from wheeling and dealing union president David Dubinsky to the notorious gangster Abe Chait and the crusading Robert F. Kennedy, whose public duel with Jimmy Hoffa became front-page news. Deeply researched and grounded in the street-level events that put people's lives and livelihoods at stake, Murder in the Garment District is destined to become a classic work of history—one that also explains the current troubled state of unions in America.

Download or read book The Rage of Innocence written by Kristin Henning and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant analysis of the foundations of racist policing in America: the day-to-day brutalities, largely hidden from public view, endured by Black youth growing up under constant police surveillance and the persistent threat of physical and psychological abuse "Storytelling that can make people understand the racial inequities of the legal system, and...restore the humanity this system has cruelly stripped from its victims.” —New York Times Book Review Drawing upon twenty-five years of experience representing Black youth in Washington, D.C.’s juvenile courts, Kristin Henning confronts America’s irrational, manufactured fears of these young people and makes a powerfully compelling case that the crisis in racist American policing begins with its relationship to Black children. Henning explains how discriminatory and aggressive policing has socialized a generation of Black teenagers to fear, resent, and resist the police, and she details the long-term consequences of racism that they experience at the hands of the police and their vigilante surrogates. She makes clear that unlike White youth, who are afforded the freedom to test boundaries, experiment with sex and drugs, and figure out who they are and who they want to be, Black youth are seen as a threat to White America and are denied healthy adolescent development. She examines the criminalization of Black adolescent play and sexuality, and of Black fashion, hair, and music. She limns the effects of police presence in schools and the depth of police-induced trauma in Black adolescents. Especially in the wake of the recent unprecedented, worldwide outrage at racial injustice and inequality, The Rage of Innocence is an essential book for our moment.
