Jon Rio, with the help of his partner, two rookie cops and an FBI agent, must find the Chameleon before he reenacts one of history's most horrendous unsolved crimes. The breadcrumbs lead Jon and his team to an autistic man with buried clues, a cross-dressing hooker with a knowledge of the streets, a drug dealer who has seen the killer's face, a reporter with an ax to grind with Jon Rio, an uncooperative wife of a dead serial killer, and they stare into the darkness that is Leroy Douglas an ex-con who fits the bill of these killings too well. A hero falls, a prot g emerges, and Jon Rio is a reluctant idol. Why shouldn't he be? All those he comes in contact with wind up just as damaged as he is or dead.

As market reforms and migration transformed Albania in the early 1990s, Ardit Gjebrea began mixing traditional folk music with world music and Italian pop. The resulting album, Projekt Jon (1997), provided a new model for song—Western and cosmopolitan, yet firmly rooted in the fertile soil of the nation—against a backdrop of deepening political uncertainty about the very future of Albania.The Ionian Project announced itself with the frenetic beating of the daullë and the traditional cries of Albania’s highland shepherd. This sprawling collaboration between singer-songwriter Ardit Gjebrea, folk singer Hysni Zela, producer Paul Mazzolini, and a team of crack studio musicians in Italy, had an outsized ambition: to transcend the small postsocialist nation-state’s borders, imaginatively crafting through sound a new home in Europe for its citizens. But as Gjebrea prepared to launch Projekt Jon, violence prompted by the collapse of widespread pyramid schemes threatened to tear Albania apart. And for the intellectuals concerned about growing cracks in the symbolic foundations of the Albanian nation-state, the album came to serve as a referendum on the nature of postsocialist citizenship.

My Midnight Years: Surviving Jon Burge's Police Torture Ring and Death Row
Ronald Kitchen was twenty-one, on his way to buy milk for his four-year-old, when he was picked up by the Chicago police, brutally tortured, and coerced to confess to five counts of heinous murder. He spent twenty-two years in prison, thirteen of those on death row, labeled as a monster. Kitchen was only one of the many victims of Jon Burge and his notorious Midnight Crew that terrorized and incarcerated black men-118 have come forward so far-on the south side of Chicago for nearly two decades.Not one to give up, Kitchen co-founded the Death Row 10 from his maximum security cell block. Together, these men fought to expose the grave injustices that led to their wrongful convictions. The Death Row 10 appeared on 60 Minutes II, Nightline, Oprah, and Geraldo Rivera, and with the help of lawyers and activists outside, were instrumental in turning the tide against the death penalty in Illinois. Kitchen was finally exonerated in 2013 and filed a high-profile lawsuit against the Chicago Police Department, Jon Burge, Mayor Richard Daley, and the Cook County State's Attorney.Kitchen's story is outrageous and heartbreaking. Largely absent from the current social justice narratives are the testimonies of the victims themselves. Kitchen is a rare survivor who has turned his suffering into a public cause and is poised to become a powerful spokesperson. The atrocities of the Midnight Crew have been brought to light through Kitchen's actions and are now part of the discussion as the nation engages in an unprecedented conversation about racism.

In just his first five years of filmmaking, acclaimed Portland independent director Jon Garcia was able to produce four feature films. Eric B. Olsen examines the first four films of Garcia's career in order to provide a deeper understanding of works that transcend the limitations of independent filmmaking and to show how they have attained the status of art. Part oral history and part film analysis, the book provides a detailed textual commentary on Tandem Hearts (2010), the director's first film; The Falls (2011) and The Falls: Testament of Love (2013), his most well-known films; and The Hours Till Daylight (2016). The Films of Jon Garcia: 2009-2013 takes an in-depth look at a writer-director who has earned a reputation as one of the Pacific Northwest's premier filmmakers.
