One morning New Orleans homicide detective PJ Ryan picks up The Times-Picayune and is surprised to see on the front page a picture of what appearsto be a murder being committed. He's even more surprised and perplexedwhen he realizes the picture shows it was taken at the time of an actualmurder he investigated and correctly portrays the victim and his murdererwho confessed to the killing several days before.He's baffled how the picture was made since the identity of the killer hasn'tbeen made public. The only logical explanation is that someone at the stationgave confidential information to someone who created a fake murder picture.Shortly after that, the paper receives pictures of two other murders with detailsabout times, places, victims, methods and killers known only to the police.Ryan tracks down the murder picture taker who readily admits what hedid. He claims he took the pictures acting alone with an odd camera that cantake pictures of past murders. Ryan dismisses him as a loon and is surprisedwhen he's tried for conspiracy to committing the murders, the State claimingthe pictures were real, the photographer was at the scenes of the murdersand was complicit in them.The trial on the charges takes a bizarre turn, leaving the reader to decidewhether the photographer's tale about the murder camera is for real. WhenRaymond Chandler, the mystery writer, was asked about a point in one of hisbooks, he was said to have answered with something like: “How would I know?I just wrote the book.” What will you decide?

“A meticulous and shattering investigation of eight horrific pictures...”—L’Arche In December 1941, on a shore near the Latvian city of Liepaja, Nazi death squads (the Einsatzgruppen) and local collaborators murdered in three days more than 2,700 Jews. The majority were women and children, most men having already been shot during the summer. The perpetrators took pictures of the December killings. These pictures are among the rare photographs from the first period of the extermination, during which over 800 000 Jews from the Baltic to the Black Sea were shot to death. By showing the importance of photography in understanding persecution, Nadine Fresco offers a powerful meditation on these images while confronting the essential questions of testimony and guilt. From the forward by Dorota Glowackay: Straddling the boundary between historical inquiry and personal reflection, this extraordinary text unfolds as a series of encounters with eponymic Holocaust photographs. Although only a small number of photographs are reproduced here, Fresco provides evocative descriptions of many well-known images: synagogues and Torah scrolls burning on the night of Kristallnacht; deportations to the ghettos and the camps; and, finally, mass executions in the killing fi elds of Eastern Europe. The unique set of photographs included in On the Death of Jews shows groups of women and children from Liepaja (Liepája), shortly before they were killed in December 1941 in the dunes of Shkede (Škéde) on the Baltic Sea. In the last photograph of the series, we see the victims’ bodies tumbling into the pit.

This book is about murder - in life and in art - and about how we look at it and feel about it. At the centre of Wendy Lesser's investigation is a legal case in which a federal court judge was asked to decide whether a gas chamber execution would be broadcast on public television. Lesser conducts us through the proceedings, pausing along the way to reflect on the circumstances of violent death in our culture. Her book is also a meditation on murder in a civilized society - what we make of it in law, morality and art.

Crimes aren't pretty, so it goes without saying crime scene photos can be disturbing. The images of dead bodies, pools of blood, and murderers on rampages act as both haunting reminders of our mortality and the savage capabilities of human depravity. Not all photos of crimes scenes are modern... some date back to the early 1900s, showing that no matter how much society advances, gruesome crime always occur. Photographs, as opposed to live video, only capture a singular moment in time, leaving the viewer to dwell upon the horrific details frozen before them.....

**WINNER OF THE 2020 DANGER PRIZE** From the acclaimed author of THE SUITCASE BABY and THE SUICIDE BRIDE, the fascinating story of a series of horrific murders that began in 1930s Sydney - and a killer who remained at large for over two decades. In December 1932, as the Depression tightened its grip, the body of a woman was found in Queens Park, Sydney. It was a popular park. There were houses in plain view. Yet this woman had been violently murdered without anyone noticing. Other equally brutal and shocking murders of women in public places were to follow. Australia's first serial killer was at large. Police failed to notice the similarities between the victims until the death of one young woman - an aspiring Olympic swimmer - made the whole city take notice. On scant evidence, the unassuming Eric Craig was arrested. But the killings didn't stop... A compelling story of a city crippled by fear and what happens when victims are blamed and suspects are presumed guilty, The Killing Streets investigates how a murderer could remain free to kill again. **Includes a BONUS extract from Tanya Bretherton's compelling new book THE HUSBAND POISONER**

Sometimes thought to be a bizarre Victorian custom, photographing corpses has been and continues to be an important, if not recognized, occurrence in American life. It is a photographic activity, like the erotica produced in middle-class homes by married couples, that many privately practice but seldom circulate outside the trusted circle of close friends and relatives. Along with tombstones, funeral cards, and other images of death, these photographs represent one way in which Americans have attempted to secure their shadows.
