Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of the shocking Springfield township cold case. As Springfield residents decorated for Halloween in September 1972, the crime rate in the quiet, affluent township was at its lowest in years. That mood was shattered when the body of sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma was discovered in the local woods, allegedly surrounded by strange objects. Some feared witchcraft was to blame, while others believed a serial killer was on the loose. Rumors of a police cover up ran rampant, and the case went unsolved - along with the murders of several other young women.

Book excerpt: A suburban housewife’s picture-perfect life is shattered in this riveting true crime book from the author of Evil Next Door. When Nancy Cooper moved from Canada to Cary, North Carolina, with her new husband Brad, their future was bright. Living in one of the most picturesque towns in the United States, the couple mingled with neighbors, attended parties, and raised two daughters. Then, on July 14, 2008, the façade came crashing down when Nancy’s strangled body was found in a storm pond. Nancy’s husband claimed she had gone for a jog and never came back. But as the police investigation deepened, a complex web of affairs and lies involving multiple residents of Cary’s idyllic neighborhoods was uncovered, and Brad was brought to trial for the murder of his wife. At the heart of it stood the Coopers’ soured marriage, Nancy’s threat to leave with the children, and her own cold-blooded murder. It would take a mountain of damning evidence before justice was served.

Book excerpt: As an exotic dancer at The Great Alaskan Bush Company in Anchorage, Mechele Hughes Linehan knew how to captivate men. Three of them were convinced she was engaged to them. Then one spring morning in 1996, one man, Kent Leppink, was found in the snow, shot in the head... Days before his death, Kent had removed Mechele's name from his million-dollar life insurance policy. He wrote a letter to his family stating that, should he meet foul play, Mechele would likely be among those involved. But she wasn't charged with Kent's death. She married a doctor, moved to Olympia, Washington, and began a new life. For years, Mechele's suburban friends never suspected a thing. She went to school meetings, hosted backyard barbeques, and was beloved by her neighbors. But authorities eventually found enough evidence to mount a case against her and an alleged accomplice. Did Mechele conspire to kill her ex-fiancé? Or is she the innocent victim as she claims? Seduced by Evil is the shocking true story about a love triangle that ended in mystery—and murder...

Book excerpt: In the bitter cold of 1985, two buddies embark on a hunting trip from suburban Detroit to rural Michigan, unaware they would soon become the hunted. Darker than Night tells the chilling true story of the mystery that haunted a community and baffled the police for two decades. The eerie silence surrounding their sudden disappearance is broken after nearly two decades when a relentless investigator inspires a terrified witness to break her silence. The witness narrates a haunting scene that had unfolded years back, pointing fingers at the prime suspects–the Duvall brothers. With no bodies unearthed, the justice system is riveted by the startling revelations during an electrifying trial in 2003. The brothers, Raymond and Donald Duvall, had bragged about the murders, evocatively explaining how they dismembered their victims and fed them to pigs. Despite the shocking confession, the case holds its ground purely on a single witness's account, taking the courtroom through a labyrinth of dark secrets and sinister acts. This gripping thriller presents a vivid tale of crime that reveals the devastating power of evil.

Book excerpt: 'Two anonymous lifeless bodies lie on the hard-frozen ground alongside a small winding road in an affluent suburban town, north of the confines of New York City. The discovery of the bodies will result in an awakening of the sleepy bedroom community's police department and one of the agency's young, upstart police officers.' Rocco DeMarco is a young police officer on a suburban "Bedroom Community" police department, north of New York City, who is placed in a position of Baptism by Fire. Just days after being assigned as a patrolman to the detective division, DeMarco, along with his lieutenant, are summoned to a murder scene: two young girls are found, in trash bags that have been dumped across the street from the local high school. The subsequent investigation presents many new, and sometimes dangerous, situations. DeMarco is new to the Detective Division in a Department that still has a reputation for bungling a previous high-profile case. Will DeMarco's inexperience and enthusiasm cloud his awareness of the dangers he will be facing? This case presented many challenges. What DeMarco knows is outnumbered by the things he doesn't know; who are the victims? Where were they from? Where did the crime take place? Above all: Who did it? Young Officer DeMarco encounters many firsts in his young career; autopsies, working the dangerous streets of the Bronx, and confronting killers who would certainly kill him next. Rocco is suddenly thrown into an investigation that involves multiple agencies, language barriers and uncooperative witnesses. Can an upstart from a small 'upstate' police agency handle an investigation of this magnitude? DeMarco is hampered by fellow detectives who care little about victims and resent his doggedness. Murder's are not supposed to happen in toney Lakeside, an affluent bedroom community in Westchester. DeMarco's only support is his Lieutenant who knows investigative talent when he sees it and tells him, "It's Your Case Kid." DeMarco has no leads and only circumstantial evidence, but finds the weak link; a dim-witted son of a Bronx social club owner. Taking advantage of his known drug involvement, and his infatuation with women, DeMarco turns the witness and his father, who knew everything, against the killer. The case takes on a whole new level of risk when DeMarco realizes he is hunting a homicidal, former enforcer from Castro's Cuba, who came over on the Mariel Boat Lift in the early 80's. Against all odds, can an upstart investigator from suburbia get justice for two dead women on the streets of the Bronx?
