A Deadly Game: The Untold Story of the Scott Peterson Investigation

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Catherine Crier, a former judge and one of television's most popular legal analysts, offers a riveting and authoritative account of one of the most memorable crime dramas of our time: the murder of Laci Peterson at the hands of her husband, Scott, on Christmas Eve 2002. Drawing on extensive interviews with key witnesses and lead investigators, as well as secret evidence files that never made it to trial, Crier traces Scott's bizarre behavior; shares dozens of transcripts of Scott's chilling and incriminating phone conversations; offers accounts of Scott's womanizing from two former mistresses before Amber Frey; and includes scores of never-before-seen police photos, documents, and other evidence.

The result is thoroughly engrossing yet highly disturbing -- an unforgettable portrait of a charming, yet deeply sociopathic, killer.

Second semester American Civ, eh?  I used to teach that one. ;)

Just finished (gave up on) The State of Jones Unfortunately, Jenkins and Stauffer committed so many basic factual errors in their book, it is impossible to trust their interpretation of events.

Has anyone read the book Frankenstein: The Shadow of Frankenstein vol. 1 by Stefan Petrucha? Just saw this on Amazon and it looks like it could be entertaining...although it also feels like it could be a stinker. If anyone has any feedback, I'd appreciate it. Here's the Amazon link for those interested: http://www.amazon.com/Frankenstein-Shadow-v-Stefan-Petrucha/dp/159582037X/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

Got this from Amazon for $20 off cover price. The book quality is excellent. The stories and art are very cool. Most are pretty short compared to the 70's D.C horror titles or E.C classics. Average story length is 5-6 pages. I'm about 40 pages in.

Re reading The Killer Angels by Michael Sharra. Coincidently, July 1 is the 147th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Gettysburg.
