But the nobility were the ones consistently involved in treason, either deliberately or unconsciously. Exploring the long sixteenth century under each of the Tudor monarchs gives a sense of how and why so many were executed for what was considered the worst possible crime and how the definition of treason changed over the period. This book examines how and why Tudor nobles like Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham; Queen Consort Anne Boleyn; Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey; and Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, fell into the trap of treason and ended up on the block under the executioner's axe.

Not one to stay below law enforcement's radar, Gotti instead became the first celebrity crime boss.

Every step of the way, Gotti's legal adversary-John Gleeson, an Assistant US Attorney in Brooklyn-was watching. When Gotti finally faced two federal racketeering prosecutions, Gleeson prosecuted both.

As the Chicago Tribune wrote, Dr. Cream's crimes marked the emergence of a new breed of killer: one who operated without motive or remorse, who \"murdered simply for the sake of murder.\" For fans of Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City, all things Sherlock Holmes, or the podcast My Favorite Murder, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream is an unforgettable true crime story from a master of the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jobb's excellent storytelling makes the book a pleasure to read.\" -The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643752501\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.25 Inches, Length: 5.5 Inches, Weight: 0.7495716908 Pounds, Width: 1.1 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dean Jobb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51861301461299,"sku":"9781643752501","price":17.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/6429343482773.jpg?v=1754134574"},{"product_id":"prison-break","title":"Prison Break","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Taylor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Prison Break\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021-08-03\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e The extraordinary true story behind New Zealand's most infamous career criminal and prolific escapee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArthur Taylor is New Zealand's best known, most influential, and colourful career criminal. A household name, he was paroled from prison in 2019 after more than 38 years behind bars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis life story is nothing short of remarkable.

Based on two decades of on-the-ground research, Galeotti's captivating study details the vory's journey to power from their early days to their adaptation to modern-day Russia's free-wheeling oligarchy and global opportunities beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300243208\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8 Inches, Length: 5.25 Inches, Weight: 0.7495716908 Pounds, Width: 1.25 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Galeotti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51861305524531,"sku":"9780300243208","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/24429823482294.jpg?v=1754134689"},{"product_id":"british-murder","title":"British Murder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Wright\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e British Murder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2019-01-15\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e George Orwell wrote a famous essay, \"Decline Of The English Murder,\" which appeared in the Socialist weekly Tribune on February 15, 1946. He lamented the passing of the classic murderers such as Seddon, Crippen, and Smith and considered modern murder as banal, meaningless. He was wrong. No murder is meaningless. Every crime reveals something about the culprit and the victim, as this book proves. Any real study of Neville Heath, John Haigh, or John Christie-three of the most notorious psychopaths of the post-war years-reveals fascinating and, in Heath`s case especially, tragic stories. And the progress of forensics in the second half of the 20th century is a remarkable tale in itself. It becomes harder and harder to get away with murder-and yet people still think they can outwit the law; some do. The last entry is in some ways the worst; the deeds of Dr Harold Shipman, a bearded egotist who would have been a great companion for Drs Palmer, Pritchard, and Lamson in the 19th century, who proves that the children of Cain are still with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445687247\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9.25 Inches, Length: 6.25 Inches, Weight: 0.92814612302 Pounds, Width: 0.9 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Wright","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51861305688371,"sku":"9781445687247","price":28.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/19867893482702.jpg?v=1754134696"},{"product_id":"deadly-medicines-and-organised-crime","title":"Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime...","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Gotzsche\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2013-08-28\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AFTER HEART DISEASE AND CANCER. In his latest ground-breaking book, Peter C Gotzsche exposes the pharmaceutical industries and their charade of fraudulent behaviour, both in research and marketing where the morally repugnant disregard for human lives is the norm. He convincingly draws close comparisons with the tobacco conglomerates, revealing the extraordinary truth behind efforts to confuse and distract the public and their politicians. The book addresses, in evidence-based detail, an extraordinary system failure caused by widespread crime, corruption, bribery and impotent drug regulation in need of radical reforms. \"The main reason we take so many drugs is that drug companies don't sell drugs, they sell lies about drugs. This is what makes drugs so different from anything else in life...Virtually everything we know about drugs is what the companies have chosen to tell us and our doctors...the reason patients trust their medicine is that they extrapolate the trust they have in their doctors into the medicines they prescribe. The patients don't realise that, although their doctors may know a lot about diseases and human physiology and psychology, they know very, very little about drugs that hasn't been carefully concocted and dressed up by the drug industry...If you don't think the system is out of control, please email me and explain why drugs are the third leading cause of death...If such a hugely lethal epidemic had been caused by a new bacterium or a virus, or even one-hundredth of it, we would have done everything we could to get it under control.\" FROM THE INTRODUCTION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846198847\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.6614 Inches, Length: 5.5118 Inches, Weight: 1.11553904572 Pounds, Width: 0.59055 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Gotzsche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51861305786675,"sku":"9781846198847","price":59.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/8715923482845.jpg?v=1754134702"},{"product_id":"codes-of-the-underworld","title":"Codes of the Underworld","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diego Gambetta\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Codes of the Underworld\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011-08-07\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e The signs and signals of criminal communication\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow do criminals communicate with each other? Unlike the rest of us, people planning crimes can't freely advertise their goods and services, nor can they rely on formal institutions to settle disputes and certify quality. They face uniquely intense dilemmas as they grapple with the basic problems of whom to trust, how to make themselves trusted, and how to handle information without being detected by rivals or police. In this book, one of the world's leading scholars of the mafia ranges from ancient Rome to the gangs of modern Japan, from the prisons of Western countries to terrorist and pedophile rings, to explain how despite these constraints, many criminals successfully stay in business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiego Gambetta shows that as villains balance the lure of criminal reward against the fear of dire punishment, they are inspired to unexpected feats of subtlety and ingenuity in communication. He uncovers the logic of the often bizarre ways in which inveterate and occasional criminals solve their dilemmas, such as why the tattoos and scars etched on a criminal's body function as lines on a professional r'esum'e, why inmates resort to violence to establish their position in the prison pecking order, and why mobsters are partial to nicknames and imitate the behavior they see in mafia movies.

Grand in scope yet propulsive in narrative force, The Snakehead is both a kaleidoscopic crime story and a brilliant exploration of the ironies of immigration in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307279279\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.96 Inches, Length: 5.18 Inches, Weight: 0.72 Pounds, Width: 0.9 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick Radden Keefe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51870278746419,"sku":"9780307279279","price":18.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/11420533482732.jpg?v=1754350425"},{"product_id":"lying-for-money","title":"Lying for Money: How Legendary Frauds Reveal the Workings of the World","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Davies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e Lying for Money: How Legendary Frauds Reveal the Workings of the World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2022-03-08\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e An entertaining, deeply informative explanation of how high-level financial crimes work, written \"with verve and wit\" (The Sunday Times, London) by an industry insider who's an expert in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe way most white-collar crime works is by manipulating institutional psychology.

In Lying for Money, veteran regulatory economist and market analyst Dan Davies tells the story of fraud through a genealogy of financial malfeasance, including: the Great Salad Oil swindle, the Pigeon King International fraud, the fictional British colony of Poyais in South America, the Boston Ladies' Deposit Company, the Portuguese Banknote Affair, Theranos, and the Bre-X scam. Davies brings new insights into these schemes and shows how all frauds, current and historical, belong to one of four categories (\"long firm,\" counterfeiting, control fraud, and market crimes) and operate on the same basic principles. The only elements that change are the victims, the scammers, and the terminology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevealing some of the most famous frauds of the modern age, Davies explains how fraud has shaped the entire development of the modern world economy.

Cooper also shows readers how China, Iran, and Russia work with organized crime as part of their Transnational Repression Operations worldwide that have targeted diaspora communities from China here in Canada and around the world. However, Canada was the soft underbelly for the PRC to infiltrate and undermine with their eyes clearly on the prize. The USA.

That day''s decisions would ripple far beyond Hong Kong, reaching as far as Vancouver and reshaping the world. Soon, billions of dollars in Chinese investments poured into North America''s Pacific coast. British Columbia''s government casinos became conduits for global criminals, facilitating the influx of deadly narcotics into Canada and laundering billions of drug money into Vancouver''s real estate market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis was no accident.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA web of accomplices--revenue-hungry governments, casino and real estate firms with connections to dubious offshore wealth, complicit lawyers and bankers, and an unresponsive RCMP--allowed organized crime to flourish. The consequences of this greed, corruption, and wilful blindness are staggering. Drug cartels, particularly the Big Circle Boys--transnational narco-kingpins with ties to corrupt Chinese officials and industrial tycoons--have infiltrated significant sectors of Canada''s economy. As dirty money inflated Vancouver''s real estate market, the social toll became evident: a fentanyl crisis ravaging North American cities, declining life expectancy in Canada, and an unattainable housing market for the middle class. But the story extends beyond real estate and overdoses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSamuel Cooper''s investigation reveals that the key players in the \"Vancouver Model\" of money laundering have turned Canada''s West Coast into a hub for CCP-led corporate and industrial espionage. These unscrupulous entrepreneurs have exported their criminal operations globally, impacting countries like Australia and New Zealand. The 2019 arrest of Cameron Ortis, the RCMP''s top intelligence official, raises alarming questions. Could Chinese transnational criminals and state actors have secured protection from within Canada''s national security apparatus? Could China and Iran possess insights into Canada''s most sensitive secrets and investigations?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrtis''s oversight of critical probes into transnational money laundering and espionage efforts underscores the depth of the infiltration.

In the third edition of his gripping international bestseller, investigative journalist Sam Cooper unveils the explosive narrative of corruption, crime, and complicity that has infiltrated the West. Wilful Blindness dives deep into the murky world of narcos, tycoons, and Chinese Communist Party agents, revealing how they have embedded themselves into the fabric of Western society. Drawing from extensive interviews with whistle-blowers and thousands of pages of government and court documents, Cooper exposes the dark underbelly of political and financial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a testament to Cooper''s relentless pursuit of the truth, from the shocking revelations of money laundering in Vancouver casinos to the high-stakes real estate deals masking illicit activities. The explosive NSICOP report from parliament suggests MPs from the NDP, Liberals and Conservatives have been compromised and may well be committing treason through their Wilful Blindness or direct engagement with PRC agents if only we had laws to prosecute them. Through the pages of Wilful Blindness, he reveals the probable suspects, from backbench MP''s right to the PM''s office. Renowned for his award-winning journalism, Cooper''s work has forced a public conversation about corruption in Canada and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition features new chapters that delve into the continued infiltration by foreign agents and the staggering implications for democracy and national security.
