Download or read book Murder on Easey Street written by Helen Thomas and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1977, Collingwood. Two young women are brutally murdered. The killer has never been found. What happened in the house on Easey Street? On a warm night in January, Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett were savagely murdered in their house on Easey Street, Collingwood – stabbed multiple times while Suzanne’s sixteen-month-old baby slept in his cot. Although police established a list of more than 100 ‘persons of interest’, the case became one of the most infamous unsolved crimes in Melbourne. Journalist Helen Thomas was a cub reporter at The Age when the murders were committed and saw how deeply they affected the city. Now, forty-two years on, she has re-examined the cold case – chasing down new leads and talking to members of the Armstrong and Bartlett families, the women’s neighbours on Easey Street, detectives and journalists. What emerges is a portrait of a crime rife with ambiguities and contradictions, which took place at a fascinating time in the city’s history – when the countercultural bohemia of Helen Garner’s Monkey Grip brushed up against the grit of the underworld in one of Melbourne’s most notorious suburbs. Why has the Easey Street murderer never been found, despite the million-dollar reward for information leading to an arrest? Did the women know their killer, or were their deaths due to a random, frenzied attack? Could the murderer have killed again? This gripping account addresses these questions and more as it sheds new light on one of Australia’s most disturbing and compelling criminal mysteries. ‘An overdue examination of the Easey Street murders that adds tantalising new information to known and forgotten facts.’ —Andrew Rule, journalist and co-author of Underbelly ‘Helen Thomas’ meticulous examination [is] chilling reading.’ —The Age

After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHEN WORLD WAR II THRUST HER INTO A NEW JOB, SHE FOUND IT HAD ALSO THRUST HER INTO DANGER, MYSTERY AND A MILLION DOLLAR RIDDLE! FIRST U.S. BOOK PUBLICATION! "Romance-suspense-action, Kelland is exceptional." -Los Angeles Times Nancy Youngblood had grown up down the street from Robert Dalhart and known they were right for each since childhood. But Robert just thought of her as a kid sister type. Since World War II had started, Robert fresh out of college had been working as executive assistant to his father who operated the Dalhart Manufacturing Company, an important factory vital to the war effort. Then his father died and Robert was left in charge. Nancy knew it was her one chance to let Robert discover the love they could share. Since she was heir to 25% of the factory she insisted on becoming Robert's executive assistant, and quickly proved her worth. But Robert was so caught up in his new responsibilities he never noticed Nancy. That's when sabotage began to stalk the plant, a murdered man who couldn't be identified was found, mysterious shadowy figures began to appear outside her windows at night, and rumors of Nazi activity began to circulate. None of those scared Nancy - but what did scare her was the feeling that Robert Dalhart was being framed for the murder or about to become murder's next victim. Suddenly Nancy realized that when she had taken on her new job at Dalhart Manufacturing she had also taken on danger, mystery and a million dollar riddle. Another masterpiece of romantic suspense, written by Clarence Budington Kelland to fulfill the government's request for inspiring stories that showed with the men drafted and gone to war, women could capably take up their jobs and prove equally strong in facing daunting situations. So successful in portraying life from the 1940s woman's pov (his heroines were always based on his feminist, businesswoman mother), it was published in Woman's Home Companion, Murder for a Million is filled with his signature oddball characters and offbeat dialogue. Among the memorable people readers will meet are: Miss Hattie and Miss Nellie, twin sisters who were inseparable - until they suddenly started appearing in town one at a time. Whitelaw Bowen, a man who didn't believe in rules or laws - but genuinely fell in love with Nancy. Mrs. Knowland and Mrs. Hickman, two nosy neighbors who sat out on the porch all day and never missed a thing that happened (or didn't happen) - they were never left out of the loop on the local gossip because they were always its source. Rosalind Cheney, the term "dangerous curves" was made for this golden haired New York nightclub siren, who thought she was sitting on top of the world - until she found she was in over her head on murder. Manton Turner, a long-lost brother who turned out to be a cheap gunman who thought he could terrify any woman with a revolver - till Nancy turned the tables on him. Detective Clovis, he wished Nancy would stay out of the case - but he never turned down any of the clues she brought him. Willard Lestrange, this highly-respected businessman wanted to buy the Dalhart Manufacturing Company - did that have anything to do with the labor trouble or sabotage the plant was experiencing or was it the work of Nazi Fifth Columnists? "When a very serious author turns his hand to murder thrillers, and particularly to as blithe and vivid a heroine as Nancy Youngblood, one must really acknowledge his mastery of the craft. Nancy, a brilliant young woman, being of an investigating disposition, gets herself involved in a complicated mystery of murder and high finance; and only after much trial and tribulation does she land the man of her choice, who had been singled out for many of the most outrageous slings of ill-fortune. A murder mystery far above the average, where the technique of the plot and the quality of the writing are concerned." -The World's Work

Fletcher' THE TIMES * By the author of THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER, 134 Amazon.com reviews, averaging 4.5 stars. ABOUT 'THE MILLION DOLLAR DIAMOND': London, 1920. Daniel Vandamarke, a South African millionaire, possesses both an extraordinary diamond, and the confidence to carry it around in his waistcoat pocket. But one October evening, after a round of golf, he is taking a stroll along a gloomy country lane when three smartly-dressed men, masked, emerge from the shadows pointing - in a very business-like way - automatic revolvers. However, this short-lived kidnapping is just the beginning of an extraordinary crime story. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joseph Smith Fletcher was a highly successful English novelist of the early twentieth-century and Yorkshire's most prolific author. An almost exact contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle, he went on to become one of the leading exponents of crime-writing's 'Golden Age'. Among the characters he created were the clerical detective Reverend Francis Leggatt, vicar of Meddersly, the young newspaperman detective Frank Spargo and most famously of all, Ronald Camberwell, private investigator, who stared in an eleven book series. He rose to prominence for his crime novel THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER ('One of the most enjoyable crime novels of its period... skilfully constructed' MARTIN EDWARDS) and due to President Woodrow Wilson's publicly-proclaimed admiration for his work. A native Yorkshireman, he also wrote extensively on the history and landscape of the northern England county, work for which he was made Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. His regional writing led him to being called 'the Yorkshire Hardy'. He died in 1935. PRAISE FOR J.S. FLETCHER: 'My favourite mystery writer' PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON; 'J.S. Fletcher is one of the cleverest spinners of a detective yarn' THE SCOTSMAN; 'J.S. Fletcher's unravelling of a murder plot keeps the reader guessing all the time' EVENING STANDARD.
