The unsolved murder inspired rumors, speculation, ghost stories, and, almost a century later, the phenomenon of 'Twin Peaks.' Who killed Hazel Drew?

When a search yielded nothing, and all physical evidence had seemingly disappeared, authorities had little to go on—except a disturbing phone call five weeks later from Göran’s daughter Maria. She was sure that her sister, Sara, was somehow involved. At the heart of the alleged crime: Sara’s greed, her father’s land holdings, and his bitter feud with Sara’s idler boyfriend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/d83adf7e-670e-48dc-8624-0e7af694ae27/ANGEL+OF+DARKNESS.jpg Recommendations - Books Randy Kraft was highly intelligent, politically active, loyal to his friends, committed to his work—and the killer of 67 people—more than any other serial killer known.

And yet, very few of its readers know that the subject of the novel was inspired by a real-life case: the 1948 abduction of eleven-year-old Sally Horner. Weaving together suspenseful crime narrative, cultural and social history, and literary investigation, 'The Real Lolita' restores Sally Horner to her rightful place in the lore of the novel's creation. Drawing upon extensive investigations, legal documents, public records, and interviews with remaining relatives, Sarah Weinman casts a new light on the dark inspiration for a modern classic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/9632af9b-3e34-4715-96b5-8e37eb537118/RED+FAMINE.jpg Recommendations - Books In 1929 Stalin launched his policy of agricultural collectivization—in effect a second Russian revolution—which forced millions of peasants off their land and onto collective farms. The result was a catastrophic famine, the most lethal in European history. At least five million people died between 1931 and 1933 in the USSR. But instead of sending relief the Soviet state made use of the catastrophe to rid itself of a political problem. In 'Red Famine,' Anne Applebaum argues that more than three million of those dead were Ukrainians who perished not because they were accidental victims of a bad policy but because the state deliberately set out to kill them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/7019f996-4e24-44f4-ab6e-c8776053e854/THE+PSYCHOPATH+INSIDE.jpg Recommendations - Books For the first fifty-eight years of his life James Fallon was by all appearances a normal guy.

Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell’s murderer was acquitted—thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the reverend himself. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante’s trial was Harper Lee, who spent a year in town reporting on the Maxwell case and many more trying to finish the book she called 'The Reverend.' Cep brings this remarkable story to life, from the horrifying murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South, while offering a deeply moving portrait of one of our most revered writers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/7cbe78f1-19af-496f-a17c-9563e7ae81dc/BITTER+BLOOD.jpg Recommendations - Books In this powerful and riveting tale of three families connected by marriage and murder, of obsessive love and bitter custody battles, Jerry Bledsoe recounts the shocking events that ultimately took nine lives.

Months later, another wealthy widow and her prominent son and daughter-in-law were found savagely slain in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Mystified police first suspected a professional in the bizarre gangland-style killings that shattered the quiet tranquility of two well-to-do southern communities. But soon a suspicion grew that turned their focus to family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/c4772652-0b24-4c53-83d0-b664689ce55e/THE+FACT+OF+A+BODY.jpg Recommendations - Books An intellectual and emotional thriller that is also a different kind of murder mystery, 'The Fact of a Body' is a book not only about how the story of one crime was constructed—but about how we grapple with our own personal histories. Along the way it tackles questions about the nature of forgiveness, and if a single narrative can ever really contain something as definitive as the truth. This groundbreaking, heart-stopping work, ten years in the making, shows how the law is more personal than we would like to believe—and the truth more complicated, and powerful, than we could ever imagine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/ad8fdf2c-e391-4e14-a3ec-0608746ad5ea/BURIED+BENEATH+THE+BOARDING+HOUSE.jpg Recommendations - Books In 1988, detectives from the Sacramento Police Department were called to investigate the disappearance of a man at his last known address, a boarding house for the elderly, homeless and mentally ill.

On 11th November 1988, the Sacramento Police Department headed back to the boarding house with shovels in hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/14a3f426-cc01-404c-b8c3-cac51aa2777e/NOTES+ON+A+SILENCING.jpg Recommendations - Books When 'Notes on a Silencing' hit bookstores in the summer of 2020, even amidst a global pandemic, it sent shockwaves through the country. Not only did this intimate investigative memoir usher in a media storm of coverage, but it also prompted the elite St. Paul's School to issue a formal apology to the author, Lacy Crawford, for its handling of her report of sexual assault by two fellow students nearly thirty years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/9a86e1ba-5793-4d30-8fe3-3f037470d621/THE+THIRD+RAINBOW+GIRL.jpg Recommendations - Books 'The Third Rainbow Girl: The Long Life of a Double Murder in Appalachia' is a nonfiction book by Emma Copley Eisenberg, published January 21, 2020 by Hachette Books.

It is also a portrait of a woman’s obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth. Utterly original and compelling, it has been hailed as a modern true crime classic—one which fulfilled Michelle's dream: helping unmask the Golden State Killer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/f8c14cc7-9834-4085-ae01-70d63b4861d6/KILLERS+OF+THE+FLOWER+MOON.jpg Recommendations - Books In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/c9b0f9ea-3fed-42db-a680-95c2189fd32e/MIDNIGHT+IN+THE+GARDEN.jpg Recommendations - Books Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/711dbe09-b485-44d5-b8c6-915dd03a13bc/AMERICAN+PREDATOR.jpg Recommendations - Books When journalist Maureen Callahan first heard about Israel Keyes in 2012, she was captivated by how a killer of this magnitude could go undetected by law enforcement for over a decade. And so began a project that consumed her for the next several years—uncovering the true story behind how the FBI ultimately caught Israel Keyes, and trying to understand what it means for a killer like Keyes to exist. A killer who left a path of monstrous, randomly committed crimes in his wake—many of which remain unsolved to this day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/ed56c04e-4043-410d-9fc1-c535c4b9660d/keefe_custom-7605de86bb7193fb73c7b16a5374aee4013f6d5d.jpg Recommendations - Books Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death penalty attorney who represents the “worst of the worst,” among other bravura works of literary journalism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/c70e3b4b-db2b-403f-b19f-6232c0ac5ffc/53832625._UY2550_SS2550_+2.jpg Recommendations - Books In this revelatory memoir, the author confronts his parents’ complex past as he reconstructs the fortunes and disillusions of an entire family upheaved during the changes of twentieth-century Europe.

Their saga haunted Alexander’s life for the next seventy years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ec059c7127cb69eec3c58e/9e43cc02-759d-491d-8247-4675f04d9e3c/43868109.jpg Recommendations - Books The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama—baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful. The Sackler name has adorned the walls of many storied institutions—Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, but the source of the family fortune was vague—until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.
