In Public Enemies, bestselling author Bryan Burrough strips away the thick layer of myths put out by J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI to tell the full story—for the first time—of the most spectacular crime wave in American history, the two-year battle between the young Hoover and the assortment of criminals who became national icons: John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, and the Barkers. In an epic feat of storytelling and drawing on a remarkable amount of newly available material on all the major figures involved, Burrough reveals a web of interconnections within the vast American underworld and demonstrates how Hoover’s G-men overcame their early fumbles to secure the FBI’s rise to power.

In the vein of The Creative Habit and The Artist’s Way, a manifesto on the creative process from a master of the impossible. Since well before his epic (and illegal) 1974 walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, Philippe Petit had become an artist who answered first to the demands of his craft—and not just on the high wire, but also as a magician, street juggler, visual artist, builder, and writer. He was a rebel and an autodidact, cultivating the attitudes, resources, and techniques to tackle even seemingly impossible feats. His outlaw sensibility spawned a unique approach to the creative process—an approach he shares, with characteristic enthusiasm, irreverence, and originality, in Creativity: The Perfect Crime. With the reader as his accomplice, Petit reveals fresh and unconventional ways of going about the artistic endeavor, from generating and shaping ideas to practicing, problem-solving, and ultimately pulling off the “coup” itself—executing a finished work. His strategies and insights will resonate with performers of every stripe (actors, musicians, dancers), practitioners of the non-performing arts (writers, artists), professionals in search of new ways of meeting challenges, and individuals simply engaged in the art of living creatively.

Jim Rix's ordinary life was interrupted when he learned in 1992 that a cousin was on Death Row. Rix had never met Ray Krone and initially took only a casual interest in his case. He soon learned that among the abundance of evidence (fingerprints, footprints, pubic hairs, eyewitness testimony, DNA), only a bite mark tied his cousin to the murder of Kim Ancona, a Phoenix bartender. Questioning Ray's guilt, Rix invited a well-respected odontologist (bite mark expert) into the evidence room in the Maricopa County courthouse to compare the evidentiary bite mark photos to the cast of Ray's dentition. The second opinion not only convinced Rix of his cousin's innocence, but also embarked him on an eye-opening journey. JINGLE JANGLE is not simply the story of the monumental effort of family and friends to free Ray Krone, it is a penetrating indictment of an unfair justice system. With honesty, wit and a genius for interweaving story and brief, Rix tells a no-holes-barred tale: a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a strange verdict, a quest to make sense of it all and a righteous battle for justice. You'll meet a remarkable defense attorney who knew what it took to free Ray Krone: "We must find out who killed Kim Ancona and shove it up their ass with a hot poker." Finally, you're in for a shock when you see where the author's attempt to discover whodunit ended up, and you too will be left wondering, Who really dunit?
