During an armed robbery, several hostages were brutally tortured, shot in the head, and left for dead. Victim focuses on the members of one family -- including a mother who died after the attack and a son who was left barely alive -- as they fought for his survival and struggled to rebuild their lives. Victim was the first book to go beyond the headlines and statistics about violent crime, to tell the victims' dramatic story of love, loss and courage. It remains one of the most influential books in the victims' rights movement and has become required reading in criminology courses across the country. It may be more relevant now than ever. \"Victim is Truman Capote's In Cold Blood turned inside out.\" -- Newsweek; \"Just as Capote did, Kinder has somehow created a story that is truer than true.\" -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"genresList\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__genres\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexandria (the library)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48020326678749,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/8235\/9773\/files\/71CDFCD3-E0A3-4758-8D96-04F198A6B742.jpg?v=1781088483"},{"product_id":"kellerman-johnathan-bones","title":"Kellerman, Johnathan: Bones","description":"\u003cp\u003eKellerman, Jonathan: Bones \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMystery \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrime \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThriller \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"description\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large TruncatedContent__text--expanded\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003eWhen it comes to writing deftly layered, tightly coiled novels of suspense, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman reigns supreme as “master of the psychological thriller” (People). Now, Kellerman has worked his magic again in this chilling new masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe anonymous caller has an ominous tone and an unnerving message about something “real dead . . . buried in your marsh.” The eco-volunteer on the other end of the phone thinks it’s a prank, but when a young woman’s body turns up in L.A.’s Bird Marsh preserve no one’s laughing. And when the bones of more victims surface, homicide detective Milo Sturgis realizes the city’s under siege to an insidious killer. Milo’s first move: calling in psychologist Alex Delaware. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe murdered women are prostitutes–except the most recent victim; a brilliant young musician from the East Coast, employed by a wealthy family to tutor a musical prodigy, Selena Bass seems out of place in the marsh’s grim tableau. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConveniently–perhaps ominously–Selena’s blueblood employers are nowhere to be found, and their estate’ s jittery caretaker raises hackles. But Milo’s instincts and Alex’s insight are too well-honed to settle for easy answers, even given the dark secrets in this troubled man’s past. Their investigation unearths disturbing layers–about victims, potential victims, and suspects alike–plunging even deeper into the murky marsh’s enigmatic depths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBizarre details of the crimes suggest a devilish serial killer prowling L.A.’s gritty streets. But when a new murder deviates from the pattern, derailing a possible profile, Alex and Milo must look beyond the suspicion of madness and consider an even more sinister mind at work. Answers don’t come easy, but the darkest of drives and desires may fuel the most devious of foes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBones is classic Kellerman–relentlessly peeling back the skin and psyches of its characters and revealing the shadows and sins of the souls beneath. With jolt after jolt of galvanizing suspense, it drives the reader through its twists and turns toward a climax as satisfying as it is shattering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"genresList\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__genres\"\u003e\u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/genres\/crime\" class=\"Button Button--tag Button--medium\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Button__labelItem\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexandria (the library)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48020335460573,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/8235\/9773\/files\/B4ADFBDB-32AF-472C-80A5-8D6C8B6A735D.jpg?v=1781088483"},{"product_id":"conrad-conrad-heart-of-darkness","title":"Conrad, Joseph: Heart of Darkness","description":"\u003cp\u003eConrad, Joseph: Heart of Darkness \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1899\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassics \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"description\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large TruncatedContent__text--expanded\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, a novel by Joseph Conrad, was originally a three-part series in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899.

The story told is of his early life as a ferry boat captain. Although his job was to transport ivory downriver, Charlie develops an interest in investing an ivory procurement agent, Kurtz, who is employed by the government. Preceded by his reputation as a brilliant emissary of progress, Kurtz has now established himself as a god among the natives in “one of the darkest places on earth.” Marlow suspects something else of Kurtz: he has gone mad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA reflection on corruptive European colonialism and a journey into the nightmare psyche of one of the corrupted, \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e is considered one of the most influential works ever written.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"genresList\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__genres\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexandria (the library)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48020358299869,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/8235\/9773\/files\/A00E508C-E7C0-4BBA-9072-C843BD46763A.jpg?v=1781088483"},{"product_id":"kellerman-faye-the-garden-of-eden-and-other-criminal-delights","title":"Kellerman, Faye: The Garden of Eden and Other Criminal Delights","description":"\u003cp\u003eKellerman, Faye: The Garden of Eden and Other Criminal Delights \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2006\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrime\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThriller \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort stories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMystery \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"description\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large TruncatedContent__text--expanded\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailsLayoutRightParagraph__widthConstrained\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003eHere the backdrop of contemporary California becomes fertile ground for Kellerman's riveting tales of murder, mystery, and family ties most sinister and deadly....

He sets this story in the romantic world of the Mediterranean, moving the action from Venice to the island of Cyprus and giving it an even more exotic coloring with stories of Othello's African past. Shakespeare builds so many differences into his hero and heroine—differences of race, of age, of cultural background—that one should not, perhaps, be surprised that the marriage ends disastrously. But most people who see or read the play feel that the love that the play presents between Othello and Desdemona is so strong that it would have overcome all these differences were it not for the words and actions of Othello's standard-bearer, Iago, who hates Othello and sets out to destroy him by destroying his love for Desdemona. As Othello succumbs to Iago's insinuations that Desdemona is unfaithful, fascination—which dominates the early acts of the play—turns to horror, especially for the audience. We are confronted by spectacles of a generous and trusting Othello in the grip of Iago's schemes; of an innocent Desdemona, who has given herself up entirely to her love for Othello only to be subjected to his horrifying verbal and physical assaults, the outcome of Othello's mistaken convictions about her faithlessness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexandria (the library)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48031140479197,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/8235\/9773\/files\/C1497A71-E524-4C06-A70B-8859323ABBB7.jpg?v=1781173522"},{"product_id":"watterson-bill-calvin-and-hobbes-2-one-day-the-wind-will-change","title":"Watterson, Bill: Calvin and Hobbes 2: One Day the Wind Will Change","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatterson, Bill: Calvin and Hobbes 2: One Day the Wind Will Change\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1992\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComedy \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphic Novels \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second volume in a series of comic cartoons starring the Calvin and Hobbes pair.

Olympia Biddeford is the only child of a prominent Boston couple--a precocious and well-educated daughter, alive with ideas and flush with the first stirrings of maturity. Her summer at the family's vacation home in Fortune's Rocks is transformed by the arrival of a doctor, a friend of her father's, whose new book about mill-town laborers has caused a sensation. Olympia is captivated by his thinking, his stature, and his drive to do right--even as she is overwhelmed for the first time by irresistible sexual desire. She and the doctor--a married man, a father, and nearly three times her age--come together in an unthinkable, torturous, hopelessly passionate affair.
