The Man With Nine Lives!
10 pp · non-fiction; crime

Irwin Nelson earned his nickname "The Cat" for his uncanny ability to survive the underworld's deadliest hits—but his real gamble wasn't dodging bullets, it was running the Starlight Club after winning it at the tables. When he refuses to pay protection money to the syndicate, he sets himself on a collision course with ruthless criminals who don't take rejection lightly. Based on actual police files, this is the true story of how a man's luck—and his choices—finally caught up with him in 1951.

Harry A. Achey
1 pp · non-fiction; crime

On June 22, 1939, a violent argument between Harry A. Achey and his wife's parents in Mechanicsville, Iowa escalates when Achey produces a gun and opens fire on them. Captured shortly after and brought to trial, Achey receives a life sentence—but what follows sends him onto the FBI's wanted list, and now the bureau is asking for the public's help in locating him.

Start Screaming It's Murder
7 pp · non-fiction; crime

Bruno Krebs, a madman imprisoned in an asylum for his wife's murder, seizes a chance at freedom in 1936 when a visiting reporter leaves her car unguarded—but his escape spirals into a trail of violence across New England as he flees toward Canada. When loud noises trigger his murderous frenzies, innocent people pay the price, and even when he vanishes into obscurity, the hunt for the killer continues. This true-crime account from actual police files follows Krebs's descent through five blood-soaked years of calculated and chaotic brutality.

Bernard Lee Thomas
1 pp · non-fiction; crime

Bernard Lee Thomas struck a Riverside, California supermarket on Christmas Eve, posing as a last-minute shopper before revealing his true intent—armed robbery. Now wanted by police for this holdup and a string of similar crimes, Thomas remains at large, and authorities are calling on the public to help track him down.

They All Died
7 pp · non-fiction; crime
Rudy MartinSmilin' Sam ScanlonNick PelleyBartenderMotorcycle CopHenry

Three ex-convicts fresh out of jail—Rudy Martin, Smilin' Sam Scanlon, and Nick Pelley—plan what should be a simple holdup at a small bar, but when the bartender fights back, a single act of desperation spirals into a blood-soaked crime spree across a Midwest city. As the fugitives carjack innocent drivers, murder a doctor, and gun down a motorcycle cop, their trail of violence grows longer and more savage with each desperate hour. Based on actual police files, this true crime story follows three men as their hunt for a quick score becomes something far darker and more deadly.
