Lethal Shadow

Dr. Seaborn Beck Weathers

AUTHORITIES OPENED THE DOOR ON ONE MAN'S HIDDEN LIFE... Mike DeBardeleben was known as the Mall Passer for the way he passed off fake money at local shopping centers. But when U.S. Secret Service agents finally arrested him, they were met with more than just phony bills. They found that their counterfeiter led a shocking double life... ONLY TO DISCOVER A HOUSE OF HORRORS. DeBardeleben's home was littered with drugs, bondage gear, and a collection of audio tapes in which he recorded the abuse of his countless victims. As the evidence mounted, a terrifying profile emerged of a man who forced women to be his accomplices, practiced sadism, even dressed up in women's clothes—a serial killer whose depraved fantasies led to a spree of violence that would last as long as eighteen years...and would end in a sentence of almost 400 years in prison. As terrifying as it is true, this is the story of a man who proved to be, beyond the shadow of a doubt, BEYOND CRUEL.

If You Love Me, You Will Do My Will

Tired, disoriented, and confused, Robert East was no match for the wolves when they arrived. Robert East loved his older brother, Tom, but always resented Tom’s favored role in the family cattle business based at their San Antonio Viejo ranch near Hebbronville, Texas, just north of the Rio Grande. Tom was a figure to be reckoned with, a cattleman with ambitions to supplant their Uncle Bob Kleberg, head of the enormous King Ranch, as the leading cattle raiser in Texas. Robert, by contrast, was a cowboy who cared little for what occurred beyond the San Antonio Viejo’s main gate. Handsome and ornery, with no head for business, he nevertheless chafed in his brother’s shadow until 1984, when Tom died young of a heart attack, just as their father, Tom East, Sr., had 40 years earlier. Suddenly Robert was the new and untested patrón of 250,000 acres of East Family ranchland—and the majority owner of the ocean of natural gas pooled beneath East rangeland. It was his turn to issue the orders. Robert’s contentious nature drove the Easts into bitter intra-family legal hostilities that persisted for a decade. He lost his beloved sister, Lica, to cancer, and as old age advanced, he found himself alone and isolated on a remote ranch with only an unreliable foreman and a scattering of vaqueros and other workers for company. The physical wear and tear from decades of working cattle on horseback began to show. Robert’s knees gave out, and he developed serious cardiovascular problems. His doctors prescribed pain pills, sedatives, and medications for his chronic depression. In 2000, drillers hit the most productive gas well in the U.S, if not the world, on East property, making the rich old man suddenly and spectacularly wealthy beyond his comprehension. Soon enough the wolves began to circle, and Robert’s grotesque final days were at hand.

A Texas Cowboy's Troubled Life and Horrifying Death

Robert's Story

SOM MANGE ANDRE AMBITIØSE BJERGBESTIGERE drog Beck Weathers i maj 1996 mod toppen af verdens højeste bjerg. Under topforsøget eksploderede en rasende storm på Everest og resulterede i den hidtil mest tragiske dag på bjerget, hvor otte mennesker mistede livet. Også Weathers blev fanget i stormen og måtte kæmpe for sit liv højt oppe på bjerget. De redningsfolk, der dagen efter gik tilbage efter ham, fandt Beck Weathers i en tilstand af hypotermisk koma og overlod ham til døden på bjerget. Men 12 timer senere skete det umulige – Weathers dukkede pludselig frem af snemasserne blændet af solen, uden sine handsker og stærkt underafkølet – men i live. Bogen skildrer en stærkt personlig beretning om bjergenes voldsomme magt over dem, der prøver at bestige dem. Beck Weathers beskriver ærligt og usentimentalt, hvordan han selv gennem flere årtier svigtede sin familie i et indædt forsøg på at flygte fra sine egne dæmoner. Flugten op i bjergene førte ham helt ud på kanten af livet, hvor han til sidst måtte konfrontere sig med sit eget dødsønske og indse, at der på kanten af døden er langt tilbage til livet.
