Have you ever imagined the life of a vigilante to be exciting? Do you see them as righters of wrongs and seekers of justice? Or are they something more sinister? Vigilantes occupy a curious space in our collective psyche. On one hand, they are seen as almost modern knights, seeking truth and justice where the law has failed, while on the other they are no better than the criminals they seek, operating outside of normal societal conventions. In this book, Vigilantes and the Media: 8 Horrific True Crime Stories of Vigilantes, we examine the lives of real vigilantes who often had their own agendas, like: Manuel Pardo Jr, who killed drug dealers and other criminals Pedro Filho who tackled Brazil’s murderers and rapists with a ruthless brutality Patrick Drum, who killed pedophiles for fun Bernard Goetz who became tired of New York’s subway muggers and exacted his own revenge Barry Gilton and Lupe Mercado who took revenge on a gang only for their own sordid lives to be revealed Each of the cases examined is true and each one of the vigilantes portrayed has their own shocking secret and motive behind their actions. What Amazon readers are saying: ★★★★★ “This book will either cement your opinion or make you think about what is really going on and what is sometimes a better system than the courts.” ★★★★★ “I’ve never read a book about this subject before but I was happily kept busy reading from start to finish! Highly recommend if you’re sick of the same stories.” ★★★★★ “I had not heard of any of the cases in the book before. Made a very interesting read. I liked it!” ★★★★★ “Do people invent justifiable reasons to commit a crime? This is sometimes the case. It’s something you keep asking yourself when you read this book. I enjoyed asking that a lot.” ★★★★★ “Eight true crime tales that only Mr. Becker knows how to deliver. Check it out for yourself, you will not be disappointed.” ★★★★★ “I have read some about these killers before, but Ryan always manages to find facts on the cases that I’m not familiar with. Thanks, Ryan for another great book!” Read on and be amazed at how these people took the law into their own hands, often for the most spurious of reasons and often for their own gain as well.

"Not all angels are the same."

Our story begins where an angel is the suspect of a fatal event during one such funeral In Los Angeles, killing all of the attendees, minus one survivor. Why? The Catholic Church dispatches a priest to work with a nun and a former seminary student who have extensive knowledge of angels try to determine what happened. The investigation will lead to a test of each of their beliefs, and answers to questions they never anticipated.

Sherlock Holmes meets The X-Files in this acclaimed paranormal mystery series from the author of the Fourth Element Trilogy It’s August 1888, just three weeks before Jack the Ripper will terrorize Whitechapel, and another murderer is stalking the streets of New York. His handiwork bears the hallmarks of a demonic possession—but amateur sleuth Harrison Fearing Pell is certain her quarry is a man of flesh and blood. And she hopes to make her reputation by solving the bizarre case before the man the press has dubbed Mr. Hyde strikes again. From the squalor of the Five Points to the high-class gambling dens of the Tenderloin and the glittering mansions of Fifth Avenue, Harry follows the trail of a remorseless killer, uncovering a few embarrassing secrets of New York’s richest High Society families along the way. Are the murders a case of black magic—or simple blackmail? And will the trail lead closer to home than she ever imagined? Praise for The Daemoniac "While the clever mystery is reason enough to keep pages turning, the novel’s writing remains its greatest asset. Employing a tone that affects the style of Victorian literature and the Conan Doyle stories, but without the stiffness readers might associate with older fiction, the prose is a genuine delight. Furthermore, the characters conjure Holmes and Watson without belaboring the point or adopting a sense of smug superiority. Ross provides two endlessly charming sleuths, and Harry’s womanhood adds new depth to familiar ground. All in all, there’s an impressive amount of detail and care packed into these pages, not only in references to the Holmes canon, but also in inventive storytelling and colorful portraiture of 19th-century New York. An unexpected treat of a detective novel with a strong heroine, making Ross a name to look out for." –Kirkus Reviews "Harry and John are a most appealing pair…Frequent nods to the Sherlock Holmes canon and a blend of charm and darkness turned this first volume of a hopefully long-running series into a few hours of pure pleasure." –Buried Under Books "This mash-up of genres is amazing…Anyone who enjoys mysteries will appreciate this unique setting and intriguing setup. The characters are deep and the background is gripping." –Desert Rose Reviews "A truly gorgeous gothic mystery." –Mama Reads Blog "Greatly entertaining, fun, thrilling, at times chilling and with a light hint of romance.
