Последние издания книг Энн Рул

Тед Банди. «Харизматичный убийца» с очаровательной улыбкой, «суперзвезда» среди маньяков. На его счету больше 30 доказанных убийств, хотя есть основания считать, что настоящее число переваливает за сотню. В 1970-х Банди был национальной знаменитостью: трансляции судебных процессов по его делам смотрели всей Америкой, а женщины признавались ему в любви и ночевали у зала суда, чтобы занять места рядом с самым красивым обвиняемым.

Как получилось так, что обаятельный и успешный студент юридического факультета, которому прочили головокружительную карьеру, стал разъезжать на машине и заманивать в нее юных девушек, безжалостно убивать и расчленять их? Эта книга — подробная хроника его жизни и его преступлений, его двойной жизни и непреодолимого желания убивать. Годами писательница Энн Рул, не в силах противиться манипуляторским чарам Банди, поддерживала с ним связь, писала и навещала его в тюрьме, приезжала на суды. Результатом этой дружбы стала книга, которая считается «лучшей тру-крайм книгой всех времен», а личность Теда Банди, неразгаданная и непревзойденная даже спустя сорок лет, будоражит умы криминалистов и продолжает оставаться источником вдохновения в массовой культуре.

Historia poszukiwania jednego z najbardziej zuchwałych morderców w historii USA. Ann Rule szczegółowo opisuje pracę śledczą, która ostatecznie po ponad dwóch dekadach pozwoliła ująć Gary’ego Ridgway’a – Mordercę znad Green River.

Jedna z największych zagadek kryminalnych Ameryki, rozwiązana po 20 latach śledztwa i opisana w mistrzowskim stylu przez królową true crime – Ann Rule.

Historia wieloletniego polowania na najbardziej zachłannego seryjnego mordercę, jakiego znała Ameryka. W latach 80. Gary Ridgway w okolicach Seattle w bestialski sposób pozbawił życia 49 kobiet, choć policja twierdzi, że mogło być ich nawet dwukrotnie więcej.

• Jak to możliwe, że przez tyle lat był nieuchwytny?
• Dlaczego wymykał się policji, która cały czas miała go w zasięgu wzroku? Jakie odrażające tajemnice skrywał jego zbrodniczy umysł?
• I przede wszystkim: kim były jego ofiary, dlaczego właśnie one stały się łatwym łupem dla Mordercy znad Green River?

Ann Rule drobiazgowo opisuje dwie dekady intensywnej pracy śledczej: zbierania dowodów, analizowania śladów, typowania sprawców, nie pomija też pomyłek w dochodzeniu. I oddaje hołd ofiarom Ridgwaya, nakreślając szczegółowy portret każdej z nich.

I po raz kolejny przekonuje się, że bestia jest tuż obok niej...

Ann Rule presents her 8th collection of crime stories drawn from her private files - and featuring the riveting case of a fraudulent doctor whose lifelong deceptions had deadly consequences.

Dr. Anthony Pignataro was a cosmetic surgeon and a famed medical researcher whose flashy red Lamborghini and flamboyant lifestyle in western New York State suggested a highly successful career. But appearances, as this shocking insider account of Pignataro's tailspin from physician to prisoner proves, can be deceiving - and, for the doctor's wife, very nearly deadly. No one was safe if they got in his way. With scalpel, drugs, and arsenic, he betrayed every oath a physician makes - until his own schemes backfired. Now, the motivations of the classic sociopath are plumbed with chilling accuracy by Ann Rule. Along with other shocking true cases, this worldwide headline-making case will have you turning pages in disbelief that a trusted medical professional could sink to the depths of greed, manipulation, and self-aggrandizement where even slow, deliberate murder is not seen for what it truly is: pure evil.

The author of eight New York Times bestsellers, Ann Rule first won nationwide acclaim with The Stranger Beside Me, about serial killer Ted Bundy.

Utterly unique in its astonishing intimacy, as jarringly frightening as when it first appeared, Ann Rule's The Stranger Beside Me defies our expectation that we would surely know if a monster lived among us, worked alongside of us, appeared as one of us. With a slow chill that intensifies with each heart-pounding page, Rule describes her dawning awareness that Ted Bundy, her sensitive coworker on a crisis hotline, was one of the most prolific serial killers in America. He would confess to killing at least thirty-six young women from coast to coast, and was eventually executed for three of those cases. Drawing from their correspondence that…

An ideal family is targeted for death by the least likely enemy, who plotted their demise from behind bars...A sexual predator hides behind multiple fake identities, eluding police for years while his past victims live in fear that he will hunt them down...A modest preacher's wife confesses to shooting her husband after an argument -- but there's more to her shattering story than meets the eye. These and other true cases are analyzed with stunning clarity in a page-turning collection you won't be able to put down. Included in this volume are stories of a victim burned beyond recognition - spontaneous human combustion? - impossible - and yet no one else seemed to enter or exit; a man who was a woman who was a man, whose con games in a small community led to murder; a "counterfeit priest" who wasn't a priest at all; a lifetime rapist; and the strangest case ever to hit Montana.

In perhaps the first true-crime book written at the victim's request Ann Rule untangles a web of lies and brutality that culminated in the murder of Sheila Blackthorne Bellush - a woman Rule never met, but whose shocking story she now chronicles with compassion, exacting detail, and unvarnished candor. Although happily ensconced in a loving second marriage, and a new family of quadruplets, Sheila never truly escaped the vicious enslavement of her ex-husband, multimillionaire Allen Blackthorne, a handsome charmer- and a violent, controlling sociopath who subjected Sheila to unthinkable abuse in their marriage, and terrorized her for a decade after their divorce. When Sheila was slain in her home, in the presence of her four toddlers, authorities raced to link the crime to Blackthorne, the man who vowed to monitor Sheila's every move in his obsessive quest for power and revenge.

The shattering crime story that shocked the nation: the Thomas Capano murder case
On a June evening in 1996, 30-year-old Anne Marie Fahey, secretary to the governor of Delaware, vanished without a trace following a restaurant rendezvous with her secret lover of more than two years: Thomas Capano. One of Wilmington's most prominent and respected figures, a millionaire attorney and former state prosecutor, "Tommy" was a charming, softspoken family man. But in the weeks and months that followed Fahey's disappearance, investigators would gradually uncover the shocking truth: Capano was a steely manipulator driven by power and greed -- and capable of brutal murder. In a riveting narrative expertly documented by probing interviews, diary entries, and e-mail correspondence, and with superb insight into the twisted motivations of a killer, Ann Rule chronicles a real-life drama of Shakespearian proportions: ambitions fall, love turns to obsession, family names are tainted, the facade of success crumbles -- and a beautiful but vulnerable young woman pays the ultimate price in a convoluted and deadly relationship.

WAS SHE A SWEET SOUTHERN CHARMER?
OR A COLD-BLOODED KILLER?
For their wedding portrait, petite Pat Taylor and handsome Tom Allanson posed as Rhett and Scarlett. Both came from fine Southern families, and dreamed of the Tara-like plantation where they would grow roses, raise horses, and move in the genteel circles of Atlanta society. Less than two months later, their dream exploded in terror and murder: their beautiful home mysteriously burned to the ground and Tom was convicted of the brutal slaying of his mother and father.
Pat's only brother had died in a puzzling suicide, her grandparents-in-law were poisoned with arsenic, and no one -- from her wealthy employers to her own children -- was safe when Pat Allanson didn't get her way. It took Georgia lawmen more than two decades to stop her for good -- if indeed they have.
In this fascinating account, Ann Rule delivers a tour de force: a whirlwind of misguided love, denial, guilt, and passions out of control; a series of brilliantly manipulated crimes; the bizarre and horrifying tale of two families brought to ruin; and, at the center of it all, the heartless, supremely selfish sociopath whose evil hid behind soft words and gentle manners, but who destroyed -- without mercy -- those who loved her.

They were best friends, four talented and charismatic young men who lived charmed lives among the evergreens of Washington state: Kevin, the artist; Steve, the sculptor; Scott, the nature lover and unabashed ladies' man; and Mark, the musician and poet. With their stunning good looks, whip-sharp minds, athletic bodies -- and no lack of women who adored them -- none of them seemed slated for disaster.
