This book is a memoir of Janel Campbell who lost her mother when she was eleven years old. Woven through her own stories, Janel gives the backdrop of her mother's life in the high mountain desert plains of southeast Idaho, her marriage to Curtis Campbell, and the events that take her mother from the dry farm in Juniper, Idaho to Los Angeles, back to north Utah, to Seattle, back to Utah, then to New Jersey, and back to Kent, Washington, a path that eventually leads to her mother's brutal murder on March 8, 1961 at the young age of 39. Mary Kelley Campbell was a witty, high-spirited Irish girl who lost her own father at the age of six, raised by her widowed mother, older sisters, and brother. Mary was a devout Mormon, a compassionate Christian, and the mother of six children. The confessed murderer was a member of Mary's church, a Lennie-type Of Mice and Men; a large, strong, lumbering, simple-minded man oblivious of his actions and desperate to please. The helpless 22-year-old confesses to have been hypnotized by a young attractive member of their church, who he claims was obsessed with the idea of having Mary killed and taking her place as the wife of an eminent Boeing engineer. The crime was labeled by King County prosecutors as "...one of the weirdest murders in the annals of the Pacific Northwest." With Mary's legacy banished for nearly sixty years by the pain and circumstance of her death, Janel has quelled the fears she knew she had to face in order to bring her mother's tales of betrayal, heartache, love, and forgiveness to Mary's progeny, and to the world.
On the morning of May 27, 1896, the peaceful township of Campbell awoke to shocking news. Six people were brutally murdered at the home of Colonel Richard P. McGlincy, one of the town's most respected citizens. The suspect, James Dunham--the colonel's son-in-law--fled the scene and disappeared into the hills of Mount Hamilton overlooking Santa Clara County. This heinous crime triggered a massive, nationwide manhunt while investigators pieced together the details. Author Tobin Gilman examines the mind and motives of the killer, the sensational media coverage and the colorful personalities associated with the protracted and unresolved pursuit of justice.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One million copies sold! Inspired by the life of a real World War II heroine, this remarkable debut novel reveals the power of unsung women to change history in their quest for love, freedom, and second chances. “Extremely moving and memorable . . . This impressive debut should appeal strongly to historical fiction readers and to book clubs that adored Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale and Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See.”—Library Journal (starred review) New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with her post at the French consulate and a new love on the horizon. But Caroline’s world is forever changed when Hitler’s army invades Poland in September 1939—and then sets its sights on France. An ocean away from Caroline, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager, senses her carefree youth disappearing as she is drawn deeper into her role as courier for the underground resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes and suspecting neighbors, one false move can have dire consequences. For the ambitious young German doctor, Herta Oberheuser, an ad for a government medical position seems her ticket out of a desolate life. Once hired, though, she finds herself trapped in a male-dominated realm of Nazi secrets and power. The lives of these three women are set on a collision course when the unthinkable happens and Kasia is sent to Ravensbrück, the notorious Nazi concentration camp for women. Their stories cross continents—from New York to Paris, Germany, and Poland—as Caroline and Kasia strive to bring justice to those whom history has forgotten.

"On January 26, 1996, Dave Schultz, Olympic gold medal winner and wrestling champion, was shot in the back by du Pont heir John E. du Pont at the family's famed Foxcatcher Farm estate in Pennsylvania. Following the murder, du Pont barricaded himself in his home for two days before he was finally captured. How did the so-called best friend of amateur wrestling come to commit such a horrifying, senseless murder? For the first time ever, Dave's brother, Mark--another Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler under du Pont's patronage--tells the full story. Fascinating, powerful, and deeply personal, Foxcatcher is a riveting account as told by the only person close enough to know the mind of the murderer." -- Page [4] cover.
