“The last chapter in particular is grueling and grotesque…” The fifth book in Nick van der Leek’s definitive TWO FACE series on Chris Watts does exactly what the title claims: it drills deep through the mountain of Discovery Documents. The fifth narrative not only makes sense of the 1960 pages of discovery, it also integrates the video footage for the first time into a seamless narrative. Missing pieces are found and new insights revealed and contextualized in the most comprehensive assembly of facts and psychological analysis around this puzzling case yet. The main focus of the narrative is on the three hour FBI interview with Chris Watts on Tuesday night, August 14, and the astonishing follow-up interrogation leading to Watts’ confession the next day. Drilling Through Discovery does nothing less than uncover Watts’ thought process leading up to the murders. Read more

Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps – Volume 4” is not exactly like the previous three volumes, but in my opinion, it’s even better. This book starts off with a five-thousand word article on gangster Johnny “Dio” Dioguardi, whom Bobby Kennedy called “The Master Labor Racketeer.” Dio’s career in crime started in the 1930’s, when he and his uncle “Jimmy Doyle” Plumeri held a stranglehold on the Garment Workers Union. By the 1950’s, Dio was in cahoots with Jimmy Hoffa as they sought to use the Teamsters Union as their own personal piggy bank. Syndicated news reporter, Victor Riesel, started snooping into Dio and Hoffa’s activities, and this resulted in Dio ordering one of his thugs to throw lye in Riesel’s face, rendering him blind for life. Through chicanery and intimidation, Dio was never convicted in the Riesel assault, but Dio was forever known as “The Man Who Blinded Victor Riesel.” “Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks and Other Creeps – Volume 4” then segues into the present, with scores of columns on true crime events throughout the years 2011 and 2012. First on board is the arrest and subsequent machinations perpetrated by the prosecution and the defense concerning Whitey Bulger and his gal-pal Catherine Greig, following their arrest in Santa Monica, Cal., after sixteen years on the run. Then we have the 2011 murder of Hells Angels Jeffrey Pettigrew and Jonathan Bacon, followed by several other Hells Angels slayings - revenge killings perpetrated by pals of Pettigrew and Bacon. “Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps – Volume 4” also details the recent epidemic of crooked New York City cops, who for some reason have lost their way under Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. Under Kelly’s watch, cops have been arrested for crimes, as trite as fixing parking tickets. However, but also there have been numerous arrests of New York’s Finest for “flaking” (planting drugs on innocent people), and even for “gun running.” All in all, “Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps – Volume 4” is a delightful romp throughout the brutal underbelly of society, where bullets and blood abound in the decadent past, the dubious present, and unfortunately – in the foreseeable future. ***** AS GOOD AS A HISTORY BOOK! – RJ Parker “Best Selling Author” I like Joe Bruno's style and the substance of his material. Good as a history book. Highly recommended. Scroll to the top of this page to GRAB your copy! Read more

So, Valachi got involved in one of the secret society’s few forbidden acts – he sold drugs. Arrested, tried and convicted, Valachi found himself in the same Sing Sing Prison jail cell as his boss, Vito Genovese, who was also stewing in the can as a result of a drug conviction. For some reason, Genovese thought Valachi was a rat (he was not at the time). So, he kissed Valachi on both cheeks – the proverbial Kiss of Death. Valachi now knew he was marked for extermination. One day in the prison yard, Valachi saw a man who looked like a notorious Mafia hit man. Figuring it was either kill or be killed, Valachi grabbed an iron pipe and beat the man to death. Unfortunately, the man was nothing but a two-bit burglar. Now facing the death penalty, Valachi tuned up his vocal cords, and he began singing a sweet song to the feds concerning the criminal activities of fellow Mafiosi. As a result, dozens of mobsters were tried, convicted and sentenced to significant jail time. Valachi was the first known Mafia member to turn state’s evidence and he did so on national TV for the whole world to see. As a consequence, his name will forever be associated with any individual, who turns against his former friends and associates to become a despised informer, squealer, snitch, stool pigeon, fink, canary, and double-crossing rat. And rightfully so. Scroll to the top and GRAB your copy of “Mob Rats - Joe Valachi - The First Mafioso to Sing to the Feds.” About Joe Bruno: Mathew J. Mari, New York City criminal lawyer for 38 years, said, “Joe Bruno and I grew up in the same neighborhood on the Lower East Side of New York City. We met and know the most of the same people, some of whom are alleged to be organized crime figures. And I emphasize the word ‘alleged.’ “That's why Joe Bruno’s insight and style makes it easy for the reader to understand the colorful yet brutal characters that dominated the crime scene in America for two centuries. He knows what he's talking about because he’s lived through it. Read more

Why was Laci Peterson murdered? When was Laci Peterson murdered? How exactly did Scott Peterson dump her body without anyone seeing him? Even after the landmark court case, the prosecution and the jury couldn’t say exactly what happened, when or how, so what did happen? Scott Peterson was convicted of first-degree, premeditated double murder. Trawling through the extended backstory of this fifteen year old case, the author finds obscure pieces to a familiar puzzle and contextualises all the available information: court records, interviews, media reports, police reports, evidence, court exhibits, weather and ocean patterns. Within this paradigm the author shines the sharpest spotlight yet on the man who sits on San Quentin’s death row, awaiting his fate. Van der Leek recontextualizes the case, repeating two simple questions throughout: How could Laci be taken advantage of? What was there to take? As investigative photojournalist Nick van der Leek builds his case, it leads inexorably to a much darker question: When did Scott Peterson start to plan Laci’s, and her unborn son’s, murder and disposal? Blood & Seawater dredges the grotesque mosaic of forces, circumstances and conveyors that lured Scott Peterson to the Dark Side, and ultimately, to murder Laci Peterson. Read more

SUPERSEDED previous year's edition... Look for the NEW EDITION ... of this best-selling notary prep guide to the challenging Louisiana exam. The Louisiana Notary Exam averages a 20% pass rate. The Notary Exam has an official Study Guide you use during the exam. But the Study Guide has no index, no big picture, no study strategies, no exam-day tips, not enough cross-references . . . and few of the forms notaries use that they test. It's notoriously hard to follow. It doesn't explain most-tested subjects, past exams, or recent changes. It’s got the law and notary rules, but it’s missing essentials for any such textbook.The Sidepiece has all that—and much more that anyone contemplating the exam should read. It even includes crucial information about notary practice for the newbie notary, and is useful to experienced notaries for its expanded cross-references, complete index, and summary lists. Basically it’s the rest of the official Study Guide they somehow omitted. Why would they leave out the index, of all things? Reminder: a 20% pass rate.Previous editions of this resource earned over 200 5-star ratings and comments that it's "essential" and "invaluable" to passing the exam, whether or not you take a prep class too. Read the reviews to get the scope, coverage, and necessity of adding this book into your study program. "The author’s tips on what to expect on test day were worth the cost of the book alone. Get. This. Book."As a senior law teacher and member of two state bars, Prof. Childress still needed to pass the Louisiana Notary Exam to practice as one. It’s a challenging exam for everyone, yet he found in the 'Study Guide' lots of trees but little forest—and even less real guidance. Determined that current test-takers can do better with more real help, he wrote this book and geared the page numbers—including an index, cross-references, lists, and illustrated explanation of successions, community property, and authentic acts—to the latest edition of the state’s official text, Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice.An affordable addition to the Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books, this book actually pays for itself 6 times over with its 'one weird trick' saying how to save $65 in fees in the notary qualification process.Steven Alan Childress is a professor of law at Tulane, since 1988, and also teaches the university's notary law class. He earned a JD from Harvard and a PhD from Berkeley. He clerked in Shreveport for the federal court and practiced law in California. He is a practicing Louisiana notary public and a registered notary educator. Alan is coauthor of the legal treatise Federal Standards of Review, edited three volumes on legal ethics, and published Louisiana Notary Exam Sample Questions and Answers 2025, as a detailed workbook for the state notary exam.

It was a year of trauma, possibly the most traumatic in NYPD history. The so-called Black Liberation Army laid ambushes and shot cops in the back. In New York alone they assassinated four, machine gunned two others, assaulted others with guns and knives. A new commissioner, swearing to end corruption and bring the force into the modern age, took over, even as two mafia dons got whacked, the biggest jewel robbery in the city's history took place, and Sgt Durk and Patrolman Serpico brought on the Knapp Commission, which began to put cops in jail. Meanwhile, in the corridors of headquarters men with stars on their shoulders undermined the new commissioner where they could while jostling constantly for position and power. Read more

DOUBT 3 is a grim reconnaissance of dirt and graveyards, a brutal interrogation of the gritty undercurrents of intention and motive. In its mission to find Madeleine, or some substantive evidence of her, the third narrative in this bestselling true crime series burrows down through obvious stratum into the subterranean, stinking caverns underlying this case. “If Madeleine is invisible then we must resume our search for her not in the visible but in the invisible world…” As such DOUBT 3 interrogates: - The Paraiso Restaurante CCTV footage of May 3rd - Carol Tranmer’s Police Interview - Goncalo Amaral’s coffin theory - Possible dates remains were moved - Madeleine’s final resting place Through atoms and germs, odours and intuitions, sulphur and smoke, Van der Leek and Wilson attempt to find a thread, a few crumbs or a particle to piece together a long-forgotten form into someone we knew once upon a time. “Make no mistake, on the other side of all the nonsense, outside of time, some other version of events floats through the ether. That is what we want to get to. Not via a court room, that ship has sailed. Is the true story out of reach or are we up to the task of recognizing and grasping its threads?” The author suggests that besides Madeleine, something else – something that belongs to all of us – also vanished from the Algarve on that day in early May, 2007. The author navigates seaside sewers, recent interviews and long dead history in an effort to rescue the one, if not the other… Read more
