-- Kidnapping, crimes and trial of Patty Hearst2016., General, Doubleday Call No: 322.42092 T668a Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, a sophomore in college and heiress to the Hearst family fortune, was kidnapped by a ragtag group of self-styled revolutionaries calling itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. The already sensational story took the first of many incredible twists on April 3, when the group released a tape of Patty saying she had joined the SLA and had adopted the nom de guerre "Tania." The Hearst family tried to secure Patty's release by feeding all the people of Oakland and San Francisco for free. Bank security cameras captured "Tania" wielding a machine gun during a bank robbery. The story features a cast of characters including everyone from Bill Walton to the Black Panthers to Ronald Reagan to F. Lee Bailey; and the largest police shoot-out in American history. It was the first breaking news event to be broadcast live on television stations across the country. Patty's year on the lam, running from authorities; and her circuslike trial, filled with theatrical courtroom confrontations and a dramatic last-minute reversal, after which the term "Stockholm syndrome" entered the lexicon. The author thrillingly recounts the craziness of the times, the lunacy of the half-baked radicals of the SLA and the toxic mix of sex, politics, and violence that filled Patty Hearst's melodramatic trial. American Heiress examines the life of a young woman who suffered an unimaginable trauma and then made the stunning decision to join her captors' crusade. Or did she?"--Provided by publisher.

By Younge, Gary[2016]., General, Nation Books Call No: 303.6 Y78a Edition: First print edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "On an average day in America, seven young people aged nineteen or under will be shot dead. Guardian journalist Gary Younge tells the stories of the lives lost during the course of a single day in the United States. It could have been any day, but Younge has chosen November 23, 2013. From Jaiden Dixon (age 9), shot point-blank by his mother's ex-boyfriend on his doorstep in Ohio, to Pedro Dado Cortez (age 16), shot by an enemy gang on a street corner in California, the narrative crisscrosses the country over a period of twenty-four hours to reveal the powerful human stories behind the statistics. Far from a dry account of gun policy in the United States or a polemic about the dangers of gun violence, the book is a gripping chronicle of an ordinary but deadly day, and a series of character portraits of young people taken from us far too soon and those they left behind. Whether it's a father's unspeakable grief over his son who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, a mentor who tries to channel his rage by organizing, or a friend and neighbor who finds strength in faith, the lives lost on that day and the lives left behind become, in Younge's hands, impossible to ignore, or to forget. A searing portrait of youth, family, and the way that lives can be shattered in an instant. At a time when it has become indisputable that Americans need to rethink their position on guns, this narrative work puts a human face on the collateral damage of gun deaths across the country."--Provided by publisher.

By Hawley, Noah2016., Adult, Grand Central Publishing Call No: Fic Haw Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "On a foggy summer night, eleven people--ten privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter--depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: the plane plunges into the ocean. The only survivors are Scott Burroughs--the painter--and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of an immensely wealthy and powerful media mogul's family. With chapters weaving between the aftermath of the crash and the backstories of the passengers and crew members--including a Wall Street titan and his wife, a Texan-born party boy just in from London, a young woman questioning her path in life, and a career pilot--the mystery surrounding the tragedy heightens. As the passengers' intrigues unravel, odd coincidences point to a conspiracy. Was it merely by dumb chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something far more sinister at work? Events soon threaten to spiral out of control in an escalating storm of media outrage and accusations. And while Scott struggles to cope with fame that borders on notoriety, the authorities scramble to salvage the truth from the wreckage. Amid pulse-quickening suspense, the fragile relationship between Scott and the young boy glows at the heart of this stunning novel, raising questions of fate, human nature, and the inextricable ties that bind us together."--From publisher.

-- Murders :2019., Adult, Viking, an imprint of Penguin Canada Call No: 364.15230 D687b Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A crack journalist crosses the yellow tape to uncover new details about this shocking crime in high society. Billionaires, philanthropists, pharmaceutical giants, socialites...victims. Barry and Honey Sherman seemed to lead a charmed life, but the world was shocked in late 2017 when their bodies were found together in their elegant Toronto home. First described as murder-suicide, it was a grisly scene: the two were positioned side-by-side on the deck of their basement swimming pool, suspended from belts tied to a railing. The violent deaths of the founder of one of the world's largest pharmeceutical companies and his wife--their net worth has been estimated at $4.6 billion--rocked the intersecting worlds of business, politics, and philanthropy. The Shermans were charity royalty, donating millions to hospitals and universities, and fixtures on the gala circuit where Honey, in particular, was beloved. But there was another side to the story. Barry Sherman, a hard-nosed strategic genius who built a large generic drug company--Apotex Inc.--was a self-described workaholic, renowned risk-taker, and disruptor during his fifty-year career. Regarded as a generous friend by some, Sherman was also feared by others. The man who was intent on attracting top talent for his enterprise was also criticized for stifling academic freedom and using the courts to win at all costs. Sherman was an active litigant for decades. Upset with building issues at his mansion, he sued and recouped $2 million from trades people. At the time of Sherman's death, Apotex was suing a former employee for stealing secrets and then the company itself was accused of espionage by a rival company. Closer to home, Sherman had been involved in legal proceedings involving four cousins who wanted twenty percent of his fortune. After decades, the case was resolved in his favour shortly before his murder. Toronto Star investigative journalist Kevin Donovan has been covering the story from the beginning, interviewing more than seventy people. He has uncovered much new information that will shed light on the disturbing double murder, and into the unusual lives of a storied couple." --Provided by publisher.

2005., Medallion Press Edition: eBook ed. Summary Note: Julie Collins is stuck in a dead-end secretarial job with the Bear Butte County Sheriff's office, and still grieving over the unsolved murder of her Lakota half-brother. Lack of public interest in finding his murderer, or the killer of several other transient Native American men, has left Julie with a bone-deep cynicism she counters with tequila, cigarettes, and dangerous men. The one bright spot in her mundane life is the time she spends working part-time as a PI with her childhood friend, Kevin Wells. When the body of a sixteen-year old white girl is discovered in nearby Rapid Creek, Julie believes this victim will receive the attention others were denied. Then she learns Kevin has been hired, mysteriously, to find out where the murdered girl spent her last few days. Julie finds herself drawn into the case against her better judgment, and discovers not only the ugly reality of the young girl's tragic life and brutal death, but ties to her and Kevin's past that she is increasingly reluctant to revisit. On the surface the situation is eerily familiar. But the parallels end when Julie realizes some family secrets are best kept buried deep. Especially those serious enough to kill for.
