The Bad Shepherd''s shadowy figure exposed his dark side early in life. Later, Joe Shepherd's escapades in rural Tennessee captured the attention of the entire state during the 1970's and 1980's. His penchant for hanging around with young teenagers seeking his next quarry avoided scrutiny for a while. The third grade educated man with unkempt clothing and greasy fingernails was able to charm young, poor, and unsuspecting women. Many women have shared their harrowing experiences with Joe. After two girls separately disappear for a period of time, the elusive Shepherd also disappeared. He would prove to be a cunning quarry for Joe Graves and the rest of the Tennessee police force during those days. He would become one of Tennessee's most notorious killer who evaded law enforcement for years. His dastardly deeds during this period defies imagination. Questions remain about the "rest of the story" still today.

Christmas Eve, 1957: An RAF pilot needs a miracle to make it home as his fighter jet begins to fail, in a story by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author. It is Christmas Eve, 1957, and there are cozier places to be than the cockpit of a de Havilland Vampire fighter plane. But for the Royal Air Force pilot who has just taken off from West Germany, this single-seat jet is the only way to make it back to England for Christmas morning. His flight plan is simple; the fuel tank is full. In sixty-six minutes, he will be back in Blighty. But then the plane begins to fail. First the compass goes haywire, then the radio dies. Lost and alone above the English coast, the pilot is searching for a landing strip when the fog closes in, signaling certain death. He has given up hope when a second shadow appears—a Mosquito fighter-bomber of World War II vintage. The plane is a “shepherd,” guiding the Vampire to a safe landing, and its appearance is a gift from fate, a miracle out of time—but for one lonely pilot, the mystery has just begun. A classic bestseller, beloved by aviation fans (including actor John Travolta, who calls it “one of my favorites because it personalizes the two planes”) and general readers alike, The Shepherd is a gripping, heartwarming tale for a cold winter’s night.
