Over a century later, this gripping investigation reopens the case, re-examining the evidence and exposing the flaws in Dickman’s conviction. Could the real killer have escaped justice?

Riders on the Storm - John Densmore

"Než potkal Jima Morrisona, než si s Rayem Manzarekem a Robbym Kriegerem zajamoval na "Little Red Rooster", nebo než si přečetl text "Break on Through", vzal si John Densmore LSD. Bylo to jeho první nahlédnutí do propasti. Ale to nelze srovnat s temnou cestou, kterou podstoupil jako bubeník Doors. Riders on the Storm je první zprávou o této plodné rockové kapele od jednoho z jejích členů. Densmore vzpomíná, jak hudba vznikala, ale nemůže zapomenout, jak Jim Morrison ničil sám sám sebe - i kapelu -, a bojuje zde s démony, kteří jej pronásledovali od Morrisonovy smrti v roce 1971. Hledání pravdy pod mýtem, kterým se Doors stali, je ojedinělým pohledem do srdce rock and rollu."

By the next year, though, Creedence was falling apart; their amazing, enduring success exploded and faded in just a few short years. FORTUNATE SON takes readers from Fogerty''s Northern California roots, through Creedence''s success and the retreat from music and public life, to his hard-won revival as a solo artist who finally found love.

The Islandman - Tomas O'Crohan

Tomas O''Crohan was born on the Great Blasket Island in 1865 and died there in 1937, a great master of his native Irish. He shared to the full the perilous life of a primitive community, yet possessed a shrewd and humorous detachment that enabled him to observe and describe the world. His book is a valuable description of a new vanished way of life; his sole purpose in writing it was in his own words, ''to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the like of us will never be again''. The Blasket Islands are three miles off Irelands Dingle Peninsula. Until their evacuation just after the Second World War, the lives of the 150 or so Blasket Islanders had remained unchanged for centuries. A rich oral tradition of story-telling, poetry, and folktales kept alive the legends and history of the islands, and has made their literature famous throughout the world. The 7 Blasket Island books published by OUP contain memoirs and reminiscences from within this literary tradition, evoking a way of life which has now vanished.

In the Midst of Shame - Petulia Blake

Society is seen through the lenses of Hope Livingston, a woman whose birth is shrouded in secrecy. While in exile, she talks about her life as a white Creole woman born on the island of St. James in the West Indies. Against the wishes of Angela, her personal slave, Hope fantasizes about becoming a sugar cane plantation owner. The indignity of slavery is placed in the background as she aspires to find a prominent place in society at all costs. In an industry dominated by men like Master Livingston, who scorns the idea of women governing in the lucrative sugar industry, Hope joins forces with Gloria Hanover, the most influential plantation owner on the island. Hope becomes immersed in a lifestyle where sexual deviance, desire for status and cruelty, are guided by her idol. The unleashing of fear upon black people manifests with beatings as a powerful means to dominate. Little did they know that the subservience was a facade. Amid the frequent Maroon rebellions and resistance to slavery, social uncertainty begins to seep into the lives of the privileged and prideful class.

Her fierce attachment to her home, to her family and to her way of life comes up hard against the desires and prejudices of her community.

The Clicking Of Cuthbert - Pelham Grenville Wodehouse

Who but P.G. Wodehouse could have extraced high comedy from the most noble and ancient game of golf? And who else could have combined this comedy with a real appreciation of the game, drawn from personal experience? Wodehouse''s brilliant but humane brand of humour is perfectly suited to these stories of love, rivalry, revenge and fulfilment on the links. While the oldest member sits inside the clubhouse quoting Marcus Aurelius on patience and wisdom, outside on the green the strongest human passions burn. All human life is here, from Sandy McHoots, the cocky professional, to shy Ramsden Waters, whose only consolation in life is golf. Even golf-haters will not be able to resist stories which perfectly combine physical farce and verbal wit with a gallery of unforgettable characters.

With the Devil's Help - Neal Wooten

In the tradition of The Glass Castle, Educated, and Heartland, Neal Wooten traces five decades of his dirt-poor, Alabama mountain family as the years and secrets coalesce.  Neal Wooten grew up in a tiny community atop Sand Mountain, Alabama, where everyone was white and everyone was poor. Prohibition was still embraced. If you wanted alcohol, you had to drive to Georgia or ask the bootlegger sitting next to you in church. Tent revivals, snake handlers, and sacred harp music were the norm, and everyone was welcome as long as you weren’t Black, brown, gay, atheist, Muslim, a damn Yankee, or a Tennessee Vol fan. The Wooten''s lived a secret existence in a shack in the woods with no running water, no insulation, and almost no electricity. Even the school bus and mail carrier wouldn’t go there. Neal’s family could hide where they were, but not what they were. They were poor white trash. Cops could see it. Teachers could see it. Everyone could see it. Growing up, Neal was weaned on folklore legends of his grandfather—his quick wit, quick feet, and quick temper. He discovers how this volatile disposition led to a murder, a conviction, and ultimately to a ...
