Death List

James Robenalt

American politics changed forever in January 1973. In the span of 31 days, the Watergate burglars went on trial, the Nixon administration negotiated an end to the Vietnam War, the Supreme Court issued its Roe v. Wade decision, Lyndon Johnson died in Texas (and Harry Truman had just died), and Richard Nixon began his second term. The events had unlikely links and each worked along with the others to create a time of immense transformation. Roe in particular pushed political opponents to the outer reaches of each party, making compromise something that has become more and more difficult. Using newly released Nixon tapes, author and historian James Robenalt provides readers a fly-on-the-Oval-Office-wall look at what happened in the White House, events both fascinating and terrifying, during this monumental month. He also delves into the judge's chambers and courtroom drama during the Watergate break-in trial, and the inner sanctum of the US Supreme Court as it hashed out its decision in Roe v. Wade. A foreword by John W. Dean sets the stage for this unique, insider history. Though the events took place more than forty years ago, they're key to understanding today's political paralysis. James Robenalt is a trial lawyer and the author of The Harding Affair and Linking Rings. He, along with lecture partner John W. Dean, are sought-after speakers on the Watergate scandal. John W. Dean was White House Counsel under Richard Nixon, and is a bestselling author, most recently of The Nixon Defense.

A Flicker in the Night

It was a defining moment in DCI John Blizzard’s early career when he caught a notorious arsonist on a killing spree. Yet despite the culprit, Reginald Morris, being safely behind bars in a high-security mental hospital, a new series of attacks occurs.

Detectives Hunt a Serial Killer who Plays with Fire

When an old man dies in an arson attack, it's left to Detective Chief Inspector John Blizzard to investigate. But his inquiry becomes more complicated when several other old men perish in similar blazes. As Blizzard searches for answers, the shadow of a persistent arsonist who terrorized the city 20 years before hangs over him. The attacks have all the hallmarks of Reginald Marsh, now locked away in a mental hospital for his crimes. Are the police dealing with a copycat killer, or is Marsh, in some inexplicable way, returning to the city? For Blizzard to crack the case, he will have to reveal a dark and deadly secret.

The discovery of a dead gangland figure in a quarry brings back dark memories for Detective Chief Inspector Jack Harris and the hilltop community in which he works. As the detective investigates the murder, not only is he forced to deal with hostile villains, fightened townsfolk, and colleagues who doubt his capacity to bring the killer to justice, he also has to confront part of his past that he had hoped would be forgotten. And in doing so, he is forced to reevaluate the loyalties of those closest to him.
