Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, a man named Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life, and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory - a list that became world renowned: Schindler's List. This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of venom, and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling. The Boy on the Wooden Boxis a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the THIRD EDITION! It includes the author's tantalizing backstory to his research; the haunting of his home from the evidence boxes; the latest, up-to-date investigation of the most prolific lead since "M" - the Memphis Man - a resultant five years spent "down the rabbit hole" to another dead end, including a joint investigation with New Jersey author Louis Romano and Philadelphia's "Rutt Rutledge"; new evidence about "M" and much, much more. This work includes the original comprehensive book about one of America's greatest crimes: the Boy in the Box case. Using archived news stories, interviews with leading investigators and witnesses, and an analysis of the official Philadelphia Police Department's evidence box, "The Boy in the Box: America's Unknown Child (Revised Edition)" set the standard for other researchers to follow. It is a succinct outline of the facts, the events, and the players to one of the true crime genre's most prolific stories. Included in the work are photos, charts, and a painstakingly created timeline of key events in the case. Also included in this unique work is a second book, "Susquehanna Road," a Power Prose fictionalized edition of the story (and a completely new literary genre) dedicated to the little, unknown boy and the battle-hardened investigators who fought valiantly for him.

Book excerpt: On February 25, 1957, the nude, badly bruised body of a young boy was found in a cardboard box in trash-strewn woods of north Philadelphia. Posters of the “Boy in the Box” soon dotted the city and police stations nationwide—to no avail. In November 1998 the remains were exhumed for DNA analysis, and the boy was reburied as “America's Unknown Child.” The Boy in the Box is the first book to examine America's most famous unsolved case of child murder—one that led to the “Stranger Danger” child safety campaign and a Law & Order episode. Written in a fast-paced style and featuring never-before-seen photos, it examines half a century of shocking and mysterious events surrounding the discovery of the body. David Stout presents a timeline interwoven with flashbacks, theories, media reports, first-hand interviews, and urban myths—taking us back to the year America lost its innocence forever.
