Nikitta: A Mother's Story - The Tragic True Story of My Daughter's Murder
Marcia Grender
John Blake Publishing Ltd
2016

On 5 February 2011, Marcia Grender received a phone call which changed her life forever. The flat her beautiful nineteen-year-old daughter Nikitta shared with her fiance Ryan Mayes was on fire, and Nikitta was believed to be trapped inside. Marcia and her partner Paul, Nikitta's father, rushed to the scene but there was nothing they could do. Firefighters had already discovered Nikitta's body in the wreckage of the home she'd lovingly built with her childhood sweetheart. To add to their agony, Nikitta had been eight months' pregnant. The fully formed yet unborn baby girl she'd already named Kelsey May was gone, too. But it soon became apparent Nikitta's death was far from an accident. Within hours, the investigation became a murder inquiry and Ryan's cousin Carl Whant was the prime suspect. As her world collapsed around her, Marcia could only watch in horror. Shortly after Whant was charged with murder, child destruction, rape and arson, she began charting her feelings in a searingly honest diary, the contents of which are published for the first time in this book. Marcia painstakingly recalls the agony of holding her granddaughter for the first time in a police mortuary, but being unable to see her dead daughter because of the shocking state in which Whant had left her. But, above all, she speaks of the indescribable hell of learning to live without the most important thing in her life.
Lady's Men: the Story of Ww Ii's Mystery Bomber and Her Crew
Mario Martinez
Pen Sword Books Ltd
2011
pokkari
In April 1943 Lady Be Good, an American Liberator bomber, vanished into the night while returning to base at Benghazi, Libya, following a mission to Naples, Italy. All attempts to find the aircraft and her crew proved unsuccessful, and they became just one more casualty of the war. Fifteen years later, oil geologists spotted the bomber's remarkably well-preserved remains from the air some 400 miles southeast of Benghazi. Reports to American and British authorities provoked no interest. The investigation and reconstruction of the ill-fated mission was left to geologist Don Sheridan, who led a survey party to the plane and eventually located the crew and evidence of their desperate attempt to survive in the forbidding desert environment.Fascinated by rumors of the tragedy, Mario Martinez spent years attempting to find out exactly what happened. His account of the mystery is riveting. An intriguing piece of detective work, the story he has put together tells of the crew's courageous efforts to save themselves. It is a story with broad appeal, as evidenced by the popularity of a television documentary broadcast when this book was first published in 1995.
