Zustand: Good. Cold StorageIn May 2003, an Arizona man who'd bought dozens of sealed boxes at an auction of unclaimed property made a horrifying discovery: the bodies of three plastic-wrapped infants, one of which had become mummified over the years. Police traced them to Dianne Odell, 50, a mother of eight children, who admitted the babies were hers but claimed that they'd died of natural causes. Justice DeferredIn 1989, police had found the remains of a long-dead infant in a suitcase in the trunk of a car Odell had abandoned. The statute of limitations on manslaughter had saved her then from prosecution. She maintained that the fetus was the product of a rape by her father, and stillborn. Baby-Killer's FateOdell said her own domineering mother had forced her into teen prostitution and murdered what she viewed as bastard children. Both parents were dead and unable to contradict her. Would Odell's stories sway the jury and buy her the mercy her babies were never granted? Or would she be forced to face the consequences of bringing innocent lives into the world - only to end them in cold blood.…

Zustand: Fair. In September 2011, M. William Phelps made a bold decision that would change the landscape of reality-based television-and his own life. He asked a convicted serial killer to act as a consultant for his TV series. Under the code name Raven, the murderer shared his insights into the minds of other killers and helped analyze their crimes. As the series became an international sensation, Raven became Phelps's unlikely confidante, ally-and friend. In this deeply personal account, Phelps traces his own family's dark history, and takes us into the heart and soul of a serial murderer. He also chronicles the complex relationship he developed with Raven. From questions about morality to Raven's thoughts on the still-unsolved, brutal murder of Phelps's sister-in-law, the author found himself grappling with an unwanted, unexpected, unsettling connection with a cold-blooded killer. Drawing on over 7,000 pages of letters, dozens of hours of recorded conversations, personal and Skype visits, and a friendship five years in the making, Phelps sheds new light on Raven's bloody history, including details of an unknown victim, the location of a still-buried body-and a jaw-dropping admission.…

Zustand: Very Good. "Phelps is the Harlan Coben of real-life thrillers." --Allison Brennan   Iowa housewife Tracey Pittman Roberts seemed to have it all: natural beauty, three loving children, and a fairy tale second marriage to a wealthy businessman. But beneath the happy façade was a woman who used lies, manipulation, sex, ugly allegations, blackmail--and even murder--to serve her own selfish ends.   On December 13, 2001, police rushed to Tracey's home after a shooting left her vulnerable young neighbor dead. Tracey claimed it was an act of self-defense. Nine gunshot wounds--and a decades-long trail of extortion, fabrication, fraud, and intimidation--said otherwise. Ten years after the crime, Tracey's case finally went to trial in an explosive courtroom showdown. In a searing exploration of the criminal mind, bestselling investigative journalist M. William Phelps traces the saga of a psychopath who hid in plain sight--until her wicked ways caught up with her.    "Phelps dares to tread where few others will: into the mind of a killer." --TV Rage    "Phelps is the king of true crime."  --Lynda Hirsch, Creators Syndicate columnist    "One of our most engaging crime journalists." --Dr. Katherine Ramsland   "Phelps treads dangerous ground like an Amazon jungle guide--fearless, compassionate, insightful."  --Geoff Fitzpatrick, Executive Producer of Dark Minds   "Anything by Phelps is an eye-opening experience." --Suspense Magazine    INCLUDES 16 PAGES OF DRAMATIC PHOTOS.…
