Escobar, Roberto: Escobar: The Inside Story of Pablo Escobar, the World's Most Powerful Criminal
Book Number: 51850
Hodder & Stoughton 19 Mar 2009 8vo softcover 304pp very good. Murderer, philanthropist, drug dealer, politician, devil, saint: many words have been used to describe Pablo Escobar, but one is irrefutable – legend. For the poor of Colombia, he was their Robin Hood, a man whose greatness lay not in his crimes, but in his charity; for the Colombian rich he was just a bloodthirsty gangster, a Bogie Man used to scare children into their beds; for the rest of the world flush with his imported cocaine, he was public enemy number 1. nnDuring his reign as the world’s most notorious outlaw, he ordered the murder of thousands – at one point even bombing a passenger jet – smuggled drugs into the US in mini-submarines inspired by Bond films, was elected to parliament, staged midnight escapes through the jungle from whole army battalions, built his own prison, consorted with presidents, controlled an estimated fortune of over $20 billion, and managed to outwit the secret American forces sent to kill him for over 3 years. His ambition was as boundless as his violence, and neither was ever satisfied.nnThis is the first major, and definitive, biography of this remarkable criminal life, told in jaw-dropping detail by the one man who, more than any other, can understand just how far he came and just how low he fell: his brother, Roberto Escobar.

Olshaker, John Douglas And Mark: Mindhunter - Inside The FBI Elite Serial Crime Unit
Book Number: 51888
Heinemann 1996 8vo softcover 384pp near fine. Index. Illustrated with b&w photo's. During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life. As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, Douglas has confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves. Now, in chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases -- and into the darkest recesses of our worst nightmares.

Marsden, John ( The Lawyer not the Author): John Marsden I Am What I Am: My Life and Curious Times
Book Number: 52107
Penguin Books January 2004 8vo softcover 388pp near fine. Long active in the areas of civil liberties, gay law reform and police integrity, John Marsden was a well-connected Sydney solicitor with friends in high places when he was very publicly brought down by allegations of paedophilia made against him in state parliament and subsequently aired on Today Tonight and Witness. What followed turned into the longest, the most expensive, and perhaps the most unsavoury defamation trial Australia has ever seen: a nine-year nightmare that took John Marsden to the brink and beyond; a 'David and Goliath' battle that pitted a media empire against an individual. I Am What I Am tells the real story behind the salacious headlines - the story of how John Marsden came to find himself in the eye of the storm and how he lived through so many years of trials and uncertainty. Scarce.
