Book excerpt: We all watched Terri Schiavo die. The controversy around her case dominated the headlines and talk shows, going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, the White House, and the Vatican. And it's not over yet. Despite her death, the controversy lingers. In Silent Witness, former LAPD detective and New York Times bestselling author Mark Fuhrman applies his highly respected investigative skills to examine the medical evidence, legal case files, and police records. With the complete cooperation of Terri Schiavo's parents and siblings, as well as their medical and legal advisers, he conducts exclusive interviews with forensics experts and crucial witnesses, including friends, family members, and caregivers. Fuhrman's findings will answer these questions: What was Terri and Michael Schiavo's marriage really like? What happened the day Terri collapsed? What did Michael Schiavo do when he discovered Terri unconscious? How long did he wait before calling 911? What do medical records show about her condition when she was first admitted to the hospital? What will the autopsy say? The legal issues and ethical questions provoked by Terri Schiavo's extraordinary case may never be resolved. But the facts about her marriage, her condition when she collapsed, and her eventual death fifteen years later can be determined. With Silent Witness, Fuhrman goes beyond the legal aspects of the case and delves into the broader, human background of Terri Schiavo's short, sad life.

Amanda heads out to Lake Chesdin on the feeling it might be key to the case, and when she finds a cell phone in the murky waters next to the Parker cabin, she knows she's made a breakthrough.

Book excerpt: Sërafinn, the goddess of the moon, sat upon her silvery throne, watching silently at all the happenings in the world below. The Ancient Law prohibited the gods from interacting too much with the trivialities of mankind. In the twilight of a dying day, her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a feast was being held in one of the northern kingdoms. Looking down from her throne, she saw someone she hardly took notice of before. However, on this particular evening, she looked at his handsome features and found her heart begin to quicken. Remembering the Ancient Laws, she tried to hide these feelings for fear of what the other gods and goddesses might say. Although in her mind, she knew it was impossible to be with a human, she could not deny her heart, nor the new feelings she was experiencing. She came to realise she could no longer be silent. Her decision would shatter both realms of gods and men alike.

Book excerpt: Crime novelist and former police officer Nigel McCrery provides an account of all the major areas of forensic science from around the world over the past two centuries. The book weaves dramatic narrative and scientific principles together in a way that allows readers to figure out crimes along with the experts. Readers are introduced to such fascinating figures as Dr. Edmond Locard, the "French Sherlock Holmes"; Edward Heinrich, "Wizard of Berkeley," who is credited with having solved more than 2,000 crimes; and Alphonse Bertillon, the French scientist whose guiding principle, "no two individuals share the same characteristics," became the core of criminal identification. Landmark crime investigations examined in depth include a notorious murder involving blood evidence and defended by F. Lee Bailey, the seminal 1936 murder that demonstrated the usefulness of the microscope in examining trace evidence, the 1849 murder of a wealthy Boston businessman that demonstrated how difficult it is to successfully dispose of a corpse, and many others.

Book excerpt: Compiled by an acclaimed Civil War historian, this beautiful volume illustrated with stunning photography examines America's deadliest conflict through the camera's lens. The Civil War changed America forever. It shaped its future and determined its place in history. For the first time in military history, the camera was there to record these seismic events from innovations in military and naval warfare, to the battles themselves; the commanders at critical moments in the battle, and the ordinary soldier tentatively posing for his first ever portrait on the eve of battle. Displaying many rare images unearthed by the author, an acclaimed Civil War historian, this beautiful volume explores how the camera bore witness to the dramatic events of the Civil War. It reveals not only how the first photographers plied their trade but also how photography helped shape the outcome of the war, and how it was reported to anxious families across the North and South.
Download or read book Silent Witness written by Tom Jernigan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of good books on the history of Arizona's White Mountains already exist. These volumes (as with most historical accounts) speak of pioneers (and the characters among them) overcoming adversity and conquering nature to morph into the society we have today. Silent Witness looks at local history from different angles including the improbable viewpoint of nature. True exploits of some outstanding characters (both human and otherwise) are described. The White Mountains are centered about 165 miles north of the Mexican border and 25 miles west of the New Mexico state line. About half is occupied by the Apache Reservation. This region is one of the wildest and most remote areas left in the country. From the west side of the Apache Reservation, wildness flows southeasterly over forested peaks and river-washed canyons some 200 miles to the edge of the Rio Grande valley. This was the area chosen for the restoration of the Mexican Wolf and the Apache Trout. The author has worked and played in the forests of Arizona's White Mountains for over forty years. A student of local history, he presents some old familiar tales as well as many new stories from a fresh and sometimes controversial viewpoint.

Book excerpt: The moon hung high in the cloudless night sky, casting a pale, eerie glow over the small coastal town. The waves crashed rhythmically against the rocky shore, their sound a ghostly whisper in the quiet darkness. A lone figure moved through the shadows, blending seamlessly with the night. In the heart of the town, an old, abandoned warehouse stood silent and foreboding. Its broken windows and crumbling façade hinted at a long-forgotten past, now shrouded in mystery and neglect. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of damp wood and decay. The figure moved with practiced precision, every step calculated and deliberate. Clad in black from head to toe, the killer wore gloves to avoid leaving any trace. In their hand, a slender, gleaming knife caught the faint moonlight that streamed through the broken windows. On the cold, concrete floor lay the latest victim—a young woman in her early twenties, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. The killer had worked quickly, efficiently. The cut was clean, a single, precise stroke to the throat that ensured silence and a swift death. There was no sign of struggle, no indication of a fight. The victim had been taken by surprise; her fate sealed in a matter of seconds. The killer knelt beside the body, meticulously arranging the woman’s hands over her chest, a macabre semblance of peace. From a small pouch, they extracted a single white lily and placed it delicately on the victim’s chest. The flower’s stark whiteness contrasted sharply with the dark pool of blood spreading beneath her. The killer stood, surveying their work with a cold, detached satisfaction. There were no fingerprints, no footprints, nothing that could link them to the crime. They had perfected their methods over the years, leaving behind only a haunting signature—a silent witness to their presence. As the killer melted back into the shadows, the sound of distant sirens began to pierce the night. The police would arrive soon, but by then, the killer would be long gone, a phantom slipping away into the darkness. Outside, the night continued its relentless march toward dawn. The town slept on, unaware that another life had been claimed, another soul lost to the enigmatic predator who moved unseen among them. The moonlight dimmed as clouds began to gather, casting the town into deeper shadow. The scene was set, the stage prepared for the arrival of Dr. Sarah Winters, who would soon find herself drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who was always one step ahead. And so, the dance of death continued, silent and unseen, beneath the indifferent gaze of the night.
