Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CLEVIS DALTON lived a decent life and was the best cop he could be. Married to STELLA, the woman of his dreams, and working with WALDEN WADE, who he considered closer than blood. They were so effective as detectives that the Police Chief nicknamed them his G.T.Gs (Go To Guys). Betrayed by his wife and friend and emotionally shattered by an accidental killing, Clevis withdraws into seclusion. ----- Clevis's ex, now his former friend's wife, is slaughtered in almost indescribably horrendous fashion, for no apparent reason. Clevis is considered the only person who can make all the connections and check all the boxes to find justice for her. He's also known as a man who can hold his mud when the rubber meets the road. His former friend, now an LAPD Deputy Chief, persuades him to come back to L.A. and spearhead the investigation into the murder. Clevis agrees, only to honor the memory of what he had with his wife before she and his former friend backstabbed him. ----- On the first day of Clevis's involvement, he is attacked by a 6'6" body builder who almost literally breaks Clevis in half. Clevis bites the aggressor's nose entirely off and shoots him but injuries prevent pursuit and the attacker escapes. There's no way of knowing who the guy was or why he attacked Clevis or even knew where Clevis was. ----- Clevis has ongoing hatred for Walden because of the marital betrayal but they reach a working agreement to postpone violence toward each other until the investigation is complete. ----- Clevis recovers from his injuries and his attacker's corpse is found, head and hands removed. No dental records, no DNA, no fingerprints, no way of identification. Mystery piles atop violence and hatred. Clevis has a heated affair with a policewoman who is also working the case. They know that it won't last. She's crazy for Clevis but still wants to maintain her marriage. Clevis understands and has intensely conflicted emotions about the whole chimichanga, given his history with his wife, but the woman is a world of joy. ----- More murders are committed in the same signature way Stella was killed. There seems to be no logic around the bizarre crew doing these rabid killings. The other miscreants in this bunch are as demented as the attacking giant. ----- Clevis and the others in Wade's crew come tantalizingly closer to finding the killers. They engage in all manner of actions as they chase all manner of leads, including a massive firefight with a murderous biker gang. They interview people who become victims immediately after those interviews. Clevis and Wades' crew continue progressing but not quickly enough to identify and stop the savages performing the atrocities. It feels as if the people doing these sickening things are trying to prove that they're smarter, smoother, more creative, better in every way than any authority. ----- Then the charismatic leader of the crazy crew of miscreants decides to turn the case onto its head and attack Clevis and Walden and the rest of their crew. They almost kill everybody with a car bomb but Clevis and company are a tad harder to kill than the other victims. There are injuries all around and one of the criminal crew is sacrificed by the Dr. Demento-type leader but none of Clevis and Wades' crew dies. They're all holed up together in a big house owned by Wade's family as they heal. ----- The house is invaded and the team held by HARDIN JAMES, evil genius par excellence, and his team. Their motivation is revealed and it's stunning. Wade and Clevis are on the edge of being exterminated when they're saved by the bravest, most unlikely hero anyone can imagine.

Book excerpt: A journalist's twenty-year fascination with the Manson murders leads to "gobsmacking" (The Ringer) new revelations about the FBI's involvement in this "kaleidoscopic" (The New York Times) reassessment of an infamous case in American history. Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order -- their crimes lit a flame of paranoia across the nation, spelling the end of the sixties. Manson became one of history's most infamous criminals, his name forever attached to an era when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia -- or dystopia -- was just an acid trip away. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents. When a tense interview with Vincent Bugliosi -- prosecutor of the Manson Family and author of Helter Skelter -- turned a friendly source into a nemesis, O'Neill knew he was onto something. But every discovery brought more questions: Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties? Why didn't law enforcement, including Manson's own parole officer, act on their many chances to stop him? And how did Manson -- an illiterate ex-con -- turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers? O'Neill's quest for the truth led him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies, from San Francisco's summer of love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with shady cover-ups and suspicious coincidences. The product of two decades of reporting, hundreds of new interviews, and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, Chaos mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Steven Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders. This is a book that overturns our understanding of a pivotal time in American history.

Download or read book Charles Manson written by Edward George and published by Union Square + ORM. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gripping story of the real Charles Manson as told by his long-time prison administrator, counselor, unofficial press agent, and confidant, Ed George. “Throughout my life, people have asked me about Manson. . . . “Does he have hypnotic powers?” “Does he have a diabolical charisma?” . . . “Is he crazy?” My response is that for some people, the answer to all of the above is yes—except for the last question.” —Edward George Charles Manson was perhaps the most infamous criminal of the twentieth century. Convicted for orchestrating the shocking Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969, and for two other killings, there has been much written about him. But not many people knew him as well as Edward George, who over years of conversations with Manson as his prison administrator, counselor, unofficial “press agent,” and confidant, gained deep insight into Manson’s mind-set. In this updated edition of George’s riveting account, he illuminates the many sides of Manson: charismatic cult leader, master manipulator, calculated “showman,” sly trickster, and more. George and his coauthor, Dary Matera, begin by detailing the troubling events of Manson’s youth, the historic 1969 murders, and the subsequent trial that ended an era. They then pull back the curtain on the intense reality of Manson’s turbulent life behind bars and the events that have transpired since the initial publication of this book in 1999, including Manson’s death in 2017. Originally published as Taming the Beast: Charles Manson’s Life Behind Bars Praise for Taming the Beast “A valuable book which gives additional insights into the criminal mind of Charles Manson.” —Vincent Bugliosi, author of Helter Skelter “Charles Manson may be the most written about, commercially viable malefactor in American history, yet George and Matera offer a worthwhile new take on him in their jailhouse bio. . . . George came to know Manson’s whole rollicking gang in scary and intimate detail. He strives to understand Manson and his devotees and, spewing psychological and spiritual insights and plenty of witchy Masonoid details, succeeds in horrifying his readers.” —Booklist “What distinguishes George’s book is that it puts a human face on a man whose very name defines evil—revealing the personality hidden during television interviews.” —Alameda Journal “An ugly, ugly look at a man whose entire life has been a study in sickness. . . . Provide[s] a chilling glimpse of Family members like Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, who showed up at the prison regularly in her red cape.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Cease To Exist written by Charles Tex Watson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just included in the Los Angeles Times' "Making sense of the Manson family murders" reading list! An impressionable 22 year old kid from a small town in Texas comes to California like many thousands of others: to seek the freedom, good times, and easy living that the culture of the decade promised. After bumming around for a time, enjoying his new freedom from parents and a heavily Methodist small town, he picks up a hitchhiker on Sunset Blvd: Dennis Wilson, drummer of The Beach Boys, who invites him back to his home where there is a party going on. At the center is a gentle, charismatic hippie with a guitar, singing to a crowd of Hollywood's elite who all seem entranced by this man's every word.What he didn't know was that this guy named Charlie -whom the Hollywood jet-set embraced as a purveyor of good dope and easy girls- was a violent psychotic with extraordinary abilities for seduction and an apocalyptic vision of himself as Jesus Christ. Within eighteen short months, the young Texan would slaughter seven innocent people in cold blood for his guru Charles Manson in some of the most infamous crimes of the last 100 years. This is the first person account of descent into the madness of the Manson Family, directly through the eyes Manson's 'right-hand man' -and murderer of all seven of the Tate-LaBianca victims- Charles "Tex" Watson. Through 'Tex' Watson's eyes, readers will experience the Manson Family from a perspective that is not only authentic, unique, and chillingly close, but which sheds unexplored light on the social and political climate of the times and its contribution to the conditions that made such an unthinkable thing almost inevitable. Following the 'turn on, tune in, drop out' credo of the day, young Charles was on a quest for pleasure and freedom over the hard work and Christian values of his parents. On his own in LA, he was relatively easy prey for a charismatic cult leader dishing out plentiful psychoactive drugs and an army of young girls, along with frequent hints that he is perhaps the Jesus Christ that Watson's parents had pushed him to find. Meeting Charlie Manson and his 'Family' through a major celebrity -drummer Dennis Wilson- made the situation all the more enticing. This is the Manson saga from a unique perspective; one that is brimming with heretofore only partially known or entirely unknown facts, and which doesn't have to fictionalize anything or employ gimmicky storytelling to remain engrossing. It provides insight into seductive the promises of Manson and the adolescent fantasy world he created before turning to murderous hatred against the establishment. . At its heart, it's the cautionary tale of a young man's downward spiral to self-annihilation as he gets caught up in the times -and the events that forever changed those times. On this journey readers will encounter a series of historical pop-culture figures, bizarre counter-culture characters and events, and will witness firsthand the death throes of the most dynamic, exciting, and influential decade in American history. It also offers a front seat view to the turning point in Manson's pivot from peace and love to enraged vengeful blood lust: the perceived theft of Manson's song "Cease to Exist" by The Beach Boys. Originally released by a Christian publisher in the '70s under the title "Will You Die For Me?" the book remains -along with police-procedural "Helter Skelter"- by far the best account to understand the tragic events of August 1969. Charles Watson does not receive any benefit from this book other than the hope that others will look at his story as a cautionary tale, and not go down the path that destroyed the lives of seven human beings, arguably along with his own. "Charles "Tex" Watson is perhaps Manson's best piece of work, going from high school track star to knife wielding maniac in 18 LSD and belladonna soaked months"-John
Download or read book The Adolescence of Charles Manson written by William Cullen and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is about the adolescence of Charles Manson. It is about his causality, on why he became the man that is so - rightfully - reviled to this day. It is about how and where his biological parents met in the Ohio River Valley; and how his mother, Kathleen Maddox, then a teenage girl, became pregnant by an alcoholic scoundrel named Colonel Scott. It is also about Kathleen's marriage to Charlie's adoptive father (Bill Manson) and their subsequent divorce. It is then about the people who actually raised Charlie - his grandmother Nancy Maddox, his aunt Glenna and her husband Bill Thomas and their daughter Joann - while his mother was out running around with her older brother Luther, conning and robbing strangers before serving time in Moundsville (W.V.) prison for a fool-hearty robber of a gas-station owner in Charleston, W.V. It is also about the hardships Charlie had to endure after he had been rejected by his mother and her new husband (at age 13) whereby he had to go off and live on his own, surviving in and around Indianapolis, Indiana by becoming a petty thief and vagrant scrounger before being apprehended by the authorities. It is about how he coped in state-run environments years before 'exploding' onto the national scene in the that fateful summer of 1969. I spent just over 2 years researching this material going to various locations in and around Appalachia, following what clues I could find about where Charlie had lived and how he may have been treated and raised. And, now, this is the result of that research. I do hope that you find it interesting if not down right thought provoking.

This book was released on 2001-12-17 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 True Crime Bestseller of All Time—7 Million Copies Sold In the summer of 1969, in Los Angeles, a series of brutal, seemingly random murders captured headlines across America. A famous actress (and her unborn child), an heiress to a coffee fortune, a supermarket owner and his wife were among the seven victims. A thin trail of circumstances eventually tied the Tate-LeBianca murders to Charles Manson, a would-be pop singer of small talent living in the desert with his "family" of devoted young women and men. What was his hold over them? And what was the motivation behind such savagery? In the public imagination, over time, the case assumed the proportions of myth. The murders marked the end of the sixties and became an immediate symbol of the dark underside of that era. Vincent Bugliosi was the prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial, and this book is his enthralling account of how he built his case from what a defense attorney dismissed as only "two fingerprints and Vince Bugliosi." The meticulous detective work with which the story begins, the prosecutor's view of a complex murder trial, the reconstruction of the philosophy Manson inculcated in his fervent followers…these elements make for a true crime classic. Helter Skelter is not merely a spellbinding murder case and courtroom drama but also, in the words of The New Republic, a "social document of rare importance."

Download or read book Growing Up Charlie written by Brian Lee Tucker and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Manson was known as prophet, a singer, a messiah - and then a mass murderer. But what the public didn't know was that behind the fa�ade he so cleverly conveyed to his followers - and victims - was a little boy in a man's body, one who had never known a loving touch or a sincere hug or a tender kiss. Abused as a child and passed around by his mother's boyfriends who performed licentious acts upon him to further his education in the cold, cruel ways of the world that awaited him in manhood. He bled. He screamed until his throat itself felt like it would bleed. As an adult - murderous - robotic, systematically programmed to do what he was told, regardless of the repercussions, he had forgotten anything and everything he ever wanted; he had been convinced he already had everything he would ever need - his music, his followers, and the urge to kill and kill again. GROWING UP CHARLIE is a bird's eye view into the mind, heart, and soul of a man who our own society created - and then locked away and threw away the key to hide the truth.
Download or read book Charles Manson written by Pete Old and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Manson, (born November 12, 1934, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.-died November 19, 2017, Kern County, California), American criminal and cult leader whose followers carried out several notorious murders in the late 1960s. Their crimes inspired the best-selling book Helter Skelter (1974). The day that etched Charles Manson into the mind of the world's collective consciousness was Friday, August 8th, 1969. That was the fateful weekend when Manson's alleged cult named the "Manson Family" slaughtered seven people. It wasn't the first time the group had committed murder, nor would it be the last, but the events of that weekend are why Charlie Manson will be remembered as the devil incarnate. A real-life boogeyman was capable of untold evil. A maniacal puppet master carved a swastika in his head with a razor blade. Ironically, the first murder of Manson's infamous crime spree was one of poor timing. Steven Parent was an eighteen-year-old California native whose freshman yearbook photo looks remarkably like Buddy Holly. The oldest of five, Steven was raised in El Monte, a city east of Los Angeles. His family was working-class and being the eldest, Steven was ambitious. His father had nurtured Steve's love of electronics and by the summer of 1969, Steven was working two jobs with plans to attend community college in the fall. On the evening of August 8th, just after 11:00 pm, Steven had closed up shop at his second job at Jonas Miller Stereo and driven through Los Angeles to visit an acquaintance who lived in a guest house at the far end of secluded property in Beverly Hills.
