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.

The intimate yet unsparing biography of the world's first and most iconic rock star.
Elvis Presley is a giant figure in American popular culture, a man whose talent and fame were matched only by his later excesses and tragic end. A godlike entity in the history of rock and roll, this twentieth-century icon with a dazzling voice blended gospel and traditionally black rhythm and blues with country to create a completely new kind of music and new way of expressing male sexuality, which simply blew the doors off a staid and repressed 1950s America.In Being Elvis veteran rock journalist Ray Connolly takes a fresh look at the career of the world's most loved singer, placing him, forty years after his death, not exhaustively in the garish neon lights of Las Vegas but back in his mid-twentieth-century, distinctly southern world. For new and seasoned fans alike, Connolly, who interviewed Elvis in 1969, re-creates a man who sprang from poverty in Tupelo, Mississippi, to unprecedented overnight fame, eclipsing Frank Sinatra and then inspiring the Beatles along the way.Juxtaposing the music, the songs, and the incendiary live concerts with a personal life that would later careen wildly out of control, Connolly demonstrates that Elvis's amphetamine use began as early as his touring days of hysteria in the late 1950s, and that the financial needs that drove him in the beginning would return to plague him at the very end. With a narrative informed by interviews over many years with John Lennon, Bob Dylan, B. B. King, Sam Phillips, and Roy Orbison, among many others, Connolly creates one of the most nuanced and mature portraits of this cultural phenomenon to date.What distinguishes Being Elvis beyond the narrative itself is Connolly's more subtle examinations of white poverty, class aspirations, and the prison that is extreme fame. As we reach the end of this poignant account, Elvis's death at forty-two takes on the hue of a profoundly American tragedy. The creator of an American sound that resonates today, Elvis remains frozen in time, an enduring American icon who could "seamlessly soar into a falsetto of pleading and yearning" and capture an inner emotion, perhaps of eternal yearning, to which all of us can still relate.Intimate and unsparing, Being Elvis explores the extravagance and irrationality inherent in the Elvis mythology, ultimately offering a thoughtful celebration of an immortal life.
