THE WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SERIAL KILLERS Volume 3 (M–S) is now on Audiobook
In prison, the rumor mill operates its own form of “social media.” It took no time for information to spread through the general population about Taylor. There is an unspoken hierarchy within a prison and rapists-especially those who raped young children-were especially reviled. Because of Taylor’s being accused of the rape and murder of a young girl, he needed to be placed in a lockdown area. However, the prison policy was that the warden had to authorize locking down any inmate before the correctional officers could reassign one, and they could not reach the warden. As a result, guards escorted Taylor back to his regular unit. Unfortunately for Taylor, a gang of inmates taught him a lesson, and he was gang-raped so violently that his injuries required surgery and over 80 sutures to correct. They subsequently transferred him to lockdown.
For the first time since her abduction and murder, Ann’s killer was experiencing some of what he had subjected his victim to during the hours he held her captive. His terror was only a sampling of what Ann endured, but karma came back around and caught up with Michael Taylor.

Deborah Levison’s Acclaimed Courtroom Thriller A NEST OF SNAKES Wins Connecticut Press Club Award!
Brendan shuffled to the office across from his bedroom and sank into his leather chair to open a laptop, one of several on his desk. Solitary hours and years had been spent staring at monitors.
He clicked on a message board, commenting and posting with a temporary IP address he changed after each use, using a series of encrypted gateways and firewalls that rendered him virtually untraceable. All his data was saved in an “air-gapped” computer – one that had never been connected to the Internet and was therefore unhackable.
Over time he’d amassed hundreds of files representing the types of online predator he hunted: Occasional Users, who were almost invisible and tough to catch because they didn’t download the obscene, illegal images they viewed in cyberspace; Collectors, who, as the name suggested, collected images but didn’t interact much in chats; and Distributors, who shared illegal content and offered technical advice on how to avoid being caught.
Eventually they all tripped up. One guy posted a photo of his own daughter’s birthday party – innocent six-year-olds running through a sprinkler with the house number easily spotted on the mailbox. That one was a no-brainer. At first, when Brendan began hunting these deviants, he’d settled for exposing a guy, shaming him, threatening to out him to his spouse or parents or employer as a pedophile. After a while, though, Brendan realized he could do better: he could gather enough evidence to tip off the local authorities, which was exactly what he’d done to individuals in Turkey, Indonesia, France, and around the United States. On Brendan’s information, several of the pervs were arrested and convicted. Through one of his hubs he helped bring down a human trafficking ring. Not all that different from what the Feds were doing these days with online stings, maybe, but Brendan had been at it longer, had formed friendships, had all the time in the world to devote to it, and his IT skills were fantastic.
This morning the chatrooms were quiet, as he predicted; things didn’t heat up until nightfall. That’s when the vermin crawled out from under the rocks to begin posting, after dinner, after their unwitting families went to sleep. That’s when Brendan did his best hunting: in the dark.
Behind his screens, he could be anyone.
A hunter. A vigilante.
A defender of children from those who would exploit them.

THE LAST JEWISH GANGSTER: The Middle Years
Gringo Pistolero—Mexican prison 1968
Light floods my room on a beautiful June morning. I stretch and for once, don’t bump into a footboard or someone else. And I’m not scratching because of the bedbugs. I rub my eyes open, and it takes me a few seconds to realize I’m in new digs. Next, I notice how sore I am everywhere, especially when I touch the lump on the back of my head. Then it all comes back to me. Twisting that broken bottle into Taki’s neck and face, blood spraying everywhere. I hold my hands up to the light. No blood. No cuts.
A fourteen-year-old mondalero knocks on my carraca door and pokes his head in to invite me over to Patricio’s pad. At least that’s what I guess he says. Something about el jefe.
I toss on some clothes and head over. Patricio’s standing by his front door decked out in a red silk robe with matching slippers. He’s proud to show me around his palacio.
So, this is the life of a drug king.
His place reminds me of a suite at a Holiday Inn. Everything’s new. It’s got a massive shower, twenty-five-inch Zenith color TV with remote, wall-to-wall orange shag carpet, sofas, tall lava lamps, and a huge velvet painting of a shirtless matador on the wall.
What is it with Mexicans and this velvet crap?
He winks at his mondalero and says something that makes him blush and laugh before he runs off. Patricio leads me to the patio where servants bring us breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee, huevos rancheros, tortillas, and beans, always beans. We take in the morning under a bright orange umbrella overlooking the prison and farther off, the city of Tijuana.
Patricio grins, “You sleep good, gringo?”
I nod, shoveling a warm tortilla in my mouth. “Yes. I mean, sí.”
“Killing makes you hungry, no?”
“I guess so.”
He picks up his coffee, his pinkie finger daintily pointing out. “You know, I must tell you, I hate gringos. But I never see one in La Mesa with the balls to take down Taki. You do me big favor. Last time I here, Taki take contract on me from otro trafficante. I have many ears and many eyes in here. So, I put knife to his gut but no deep. The reebs…” He opens his robe to expose his belly and taps on his ribs. “They do not let me.”
“Ah.”
“I try. He is, how you say, one tough son of bitch vulture. But no more. He is muerto.” He grins and takes a sip of coffee, a wide smile spreading across his face. “So, Richard, you work for me?”
