Denn die Wahrheit stirbt mit − Alexander Stevens über neue spektakulärsten Kriminalfälle. Acht wahre Fälle, acht Urteile, acht Unschuldige? Ein Familienvater, der die dreiköpfige Nachbarsfamilie erschossen haben soll, aber keinerlei Motiv hat. Ein verurteilter Mörder, der behauptet, die Polizei habe Beweise am Tatort gefälscht. Ein Verdächtiger, der zunächst freigesprochen, dann aber wegen Mordes verurteilt wird. Allen Fällen gemein: Die Verurteilten behaupten, unschuldig zu sein und das mit guten Argumenten.

I slutet av december 1996 och början av 1997 förövades tre våldsbrott med gemensamma drag på olika platser i Stockholmsområdet. En ung kvinna blev rånad och våldtagen i Vårberg, en kvinna blev mördad i centrala Stockholm och ytterligare en kvinna blev rånad och utsatt för ett våldtäktsförsök i en modebutik på Södermalm. Det gemensamma var att de tre kvinnorna arbetade ensamma i en butik eller salong och att gärningsmannens speciella beteende återkom i alla tre fallen.

"När min mobiltelefon ringde lördagen den 28 september 1996, fick frisören tillfälligt avbryta klippningen. Jag anade inte vad jag skulle leva med många månader framöver. Jag glömmer inte beredskapskommissariens ord: "Vi har två gripna och in i h-e mycket kokain i beslag, kan du komma in nuuu!!!" Detta är begynnelsen av en undersökning som ska testa polisen på många sätt, kanske främst deras tålamod. Det börjar med en misslyckad leverans av kokain, från Colombia till Sverige.

In this startling and original work, best-selling author Charles Higham (Howard Hughes: The Secret Life) addresses one of the greatest historical mysteries: Did John Wilkes Booth act alone on the night of Good Friday, 1865, or was he part of a wide conspiracy? Drawing from letters, diaries, previously unstudied records of official hearings, railway timetables, and obscure shipping manifests, Higham weaves a spellbinding account of intrigue. 

Em 1942, os Aliados estavam perdendo a guerra e a Alemanha parecia invencível. A inteligência britânica tinha espiões treinados em todo tipo de serviço, mas percebeu que, para vencer, era necessário tomar uma medida sem precedentes: recrutar agentes do sexo feminino. Trinta e nove mulheres responderam ao chamado, deixando suas vidas para se tornarem sabotadoras na França.

Seriemördare - en person som mördar minst tre personer vid olika avgränsande tillfällen. Motivationen är så gott som alltid ett sökande efter psykologisk tillfredställelse. Så vad är det Ibrahim försöker uppnå när han kallblodigt mördar två personer i Stockholm? Vad är motivet? Vad är kopplingen mellan offren? Polisen jobbar hårt för att hitta honom så rättvisa kan skapas, och när en tredje person faller offer för Ibrahim blir jakten alltmer brådskande.

Tidigt på morgonen den 12 mars 1998 anträffades taxichauffören Kjell Svensson mördad i sin taxibil. Det var hans syster som gjorde upptäckten. Första anblicken tydde på att han utsatts för ett rånmord. Tålmodigt och engagerat polisarbete gav vid handen ett resultat som även de mest garvade polismännen hade svårt att tro på. Den tragiska verkligheten visade sig den här gången överträffa den värsta sortens såpopera.

By 1966, Hot Springs, Arkansas wasn’t your typical sleepy little Southern town. Once a favorite destination for mobsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, illegal activities continued to lure out-of-state gamblers, flim-flam men, and high rollers to its racetracks, clubs, and bordellos. Still, the town was shaken to its core after a girl was found dead on a nearby ranch. The ranch owner claimed it was an accident. Then the rancher was found to be the killer of another woman - his fourth wife.

I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned. But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim—that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix—a work in progress. This is my story....
