Registered sex offenders in Treasure Valley have started showing up dead, killed with apparent violence and forethought; and Detective Nate Richards finds himself pitted against a psychotic killer set on ridding the valley of the unclean. When Chrystal Johansson, the only female on the killer's list, barely escapes the attempt on her life, Richards takes her into protective custody. Driven by a voice he calls God and a group of men he calls the Uncles, the killer sets a deadline of two weeks to complete the valley's cleansing. Around him, the community divides about the actions of the vigilante. Some hail the killer as a modern day knight, only doing what they wish they could; while others curse him as being part of the sickness he claims to fight. With the deadline quickly approaching, and the city threatening to tear itself apart, will the killer fulfill his calling or will Nate stop the killings before another victim turns up DEAD RIGHT THERE.

KILLER KILLEN And The Genuine Truth About Mississippi Burning and the Three Civil Rights Murders: The Autobiography of Edgar Ray Killen Written by Lar

Edgar Ray Killen was indicted for manslaughter on June 21, 2005 for the KKK murders of the three Civil Rights workers in Neshoba County, Mississippi on June 23, 1964, which gave us the terror of Mississippi Burning, from the same name as the FBI files. Neshoba County, and newly appointed Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, had prepared for this court case in one form or another for over 40 years, ever since Edgar Ray's acquittal for the murders in a rigged court in Meridian in 1967. Edgar Ray Killen was found guilty and sentenced for the rest of his life to be served in the Mississippi Correctional System. He was convicted despite there being no living witness who could corroborate the allegations or by any direct evidence against him. The state had determined the outcome long before the first court date according to Killen. He appealed the conviction immediately and had kept high hopes that seen from a higher court and having friends in high places he would get a new trial. Once convicted Edgar's appeal began and with it a new burning desire to tell his side of the story, even if he had to finally tell it from behind bars. His desire and manipulations finally led to Larry Ellis - a self-described author and artist who had been imprisoned half his life from the age of twenty-five. Larry landed in jail with a prescription drug addiction developed in the hospital after a car accident, and one that would in many ways systematically destroy his life. The two only had a couple of things in common, being white men in a Mississippi prison and being so-called "God fearing." This is the story of their conversations which took place for 30 days in Rankin County's Central Mississippi Correctional Facility. Edgar had arranged for Larry to be transferred from within the prison next to his cell so they could write a book, his book - Edgar Ray Killen's manifesto to the world - the true story of the KKK and the summer of Mississippi Burning. From the beginning, the relationship between Larry and Edgar was contentious yet both felt it was fated and began to work on the book in earnest. Larry being a self-taught artist and as a way to cope with prison did many drawings to illustrate the conversation, condition and the demeanor of Edgar Ray Killen and the environment of every day prison life. All of this activity was illegal in the prison system and all material was contraband. Larry was taking a big risk on many fronts to write this book and the threats kept coming throughout the process - as he describes in detail. Edgar told many tales in jail including his own complicity in murders and he threatened Larry if he went public because he realized that his appeal was exhausted and many of his confessions are actually hand written, as this was how the communication is in the confines of a prison - notes passed between convicts. The FBI fully vetted and authenticated the handwriting of Edgar Ray Killen when they took all the papers from Larry's home for investigation. Larry passed December 2014 of cancer and he left the book to Mr Robert J. Ray to have it published. Edgar Ray Killen passed in January 2018. This is the book that many in Mississippi and Washington wanted to keep buried.

Den 4. september 1957 ble fjorten år gamle Gloria Ray møtt av bevæpnede soldater på vei til sin nye skole, Little Rock Central High School i Arkansas. Soldatene hadde fått i oppdrag å hindre Gloria og en håndfull andre svarte ungdommer i å komme inn på skolen, som inntil nylig var forbeholdt hvite elever. En høyesterettsdom hadde slått fast at segregering i skolen var grunnlovsstridig, men guvernøren i Arkansas ville det annerledes. USAs president måtte derfor ty til drastiske tiltak for å sikre ungdommenes skolegang.The Little Rock Nine, som de svarte ungdommene ble kalt, ble ikoner i borgerrettsbevegelsens historie. De har mottatt en rekke utmerkelser i ettertid. Men prisen de betalte var høy, i form av trakassering, vold og drapstrusler. Dette er fortellingen om året som forandret Glorias liv og USAs historie – og om den seiglivede amerikanske rasismen og slaveriet den springer ut av.
Gloria Ray var fjorton år när hon stoppades av beväpnade vita soldater från att börja på Little Rocks Central High School i Arkansas. Året var 1957 och delstatens guvernör vägrade att låta henne och ytterligare åtta svarta ungdomar att ta steget in på den helvita skolan. Den dagen tog min barndom slut , säger Gloria i dag. Gloria Ray och de andra tonåringarna i The Little Rock Nine var de första som agerade utifrån Högsta domstolens beslut från 1954 där det slogs fast att segregation av svarta och vita barn i amerikanska skolor stred mot grundlagen. Arkansas motstånd var så starkt och våldsamt att president Dwight Eisenhower tvingades sätta in beväpnade elittrupper som dagligen eskorterade de nio svarta ungdomarna till skolan.Händelsen blev en världsnyhet och en bricka i det kalla kriget, såväl som en chockartad exponering av rasismens Amerika. De nio ungdomarna i The Little Rock Nine är numera ikoner i den amerikanska medborgarrättsrörelsens historia. Men priset var högt. De fick utstå trakasserier, dödshot och våld och deras föräldrar och syskon drabbades hårt, liksom de som stödde deras kamp för rättvisa. Det slutade med att Arkansas guvernör hellre stängde alla allmänna skolor och hellre än att låta afroamerikanska barn blanda sig med vita, och tusentals ungdomar påverkades av beslutet.Gloria Ray skulle senare gifta sig med en svensk formgivare och flytta till Sverige. Gloria är berättelsen om det där året som skulle förändra hennes liv, men också om den amerikanska rasismen och slaveriet den vuxit ur, oupplösligt förenade i historien om USA.Elisabeth Åsbrink är en av våra främsta fackboksförfattare, flerfaldigt prisbelönad och översatt till runt 25 språk. Hennes senaste bok är biografin om Victoria Benedictsson Mitt stora vackra hat från 2022. Hennes augustnominerade debutbok, Smärtpunkten, om morden i Malexander och Lars Noréns pjäs Sju tre har blivit en uppmärksammad tv-serie i SVT denna vår. Gloria Ray Karlmark har en examen i kemi och matematik och har bland annat arbetat som systemanalytiker och patentingenjör, med anställningar på IBM och Philips i Nederländerna. Hon flyttade till Sverige 1969, och har huvudsakligen varit bosatt här sedan dess. Hennes berättelse har aldrig tidigare skildrats i bokform."En svårglömd illustration av 1900-talets värsta nattsidor, därtill föredömligt välskriven." SvD "Välskrivet och oerhört engagerande" DN"Sverige, som har en sådan beröringsskräck för rasism som samtalsämne, behöver den här berättelsen."

Award-winning Elisabeth Åsbrink writes the biography of Gloria Ray Karlmark, one of the Little Rock Nine. Gloria Ray was 14 years old when she was stopped by armed white soldiers from entering Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas. The year was 1957 and the governor of Arkansas refused to allow her and eight other Black teenagers to enter the all-white school. ‘That day my childhood ended’, Gloria says today. Gloria Ray and the others in the Little Rock Nine were the first to act on the 1954 Supreme Court decision that ruled the segregation of Black and white children in American schools unconstitutional. Arkansas’ resistance to the decision was so strong and violent that President Dwight Eisenhower was forced to deploy elite armed troops to escort the nine Black children to school every day. The incident became world news and a pawn in the Cold War, as well as a shocking exposure of racism in America. The Little Rock Nine are now icons in the history of the American civil rights movement. But the price was high. They endured harassment, death threats and violence, and their parents and siblings suffered greatly, as did those who supported their fight for justice. In the end, the governor of Arkansas closed all public schools instead of allowing African-American children to mix with whites, and thousands of young people were affected by the decision. Gloria is the story of that year that would change her life, but also of the American racism and slavery it grew out of, inextricably linked in the story of the United States. Elisabeth Åsbrink with her eloquent narration, distinct voice, and unique ability to crack open key moments of conflict, oppression, and inequality by weaving together strands of personal and national history.
