Not many people would be willing to be lowered down a well to recover a corpse but FBI Agent Megan McKenna, an FBI behavioral scientist, volunteers. The body is that of a young female victim, the third in as many weeks. A suspected serial killer is what brought Meg to Baltimore to work with the Baltimore Police Department and specifically Detective Phil Jenkins. This is Meg's first assignment after a leave of absence brought about by Meg's failure to save a child from a killer such as Baltimore PD now faces. Max is a Labrador retriever and shares Megan's home. Max is a retired FBI search and rescue dog and plays a big part in this novel. Although Meg and Phil did not hit it off at first they are beginning to get into the swing of working together. When Phil calls her in to let her know he has found a link between the victims. At least two of the victims were foster children and both from the same agency. As the two begin their investigation, they feel that there is something off about the foster home. The place is too quiet and no children are visible. The parents of the victims have all moved out of state. There is more than one mystery contained between the pages of The Well Meaning Killer and enough action to keep the reader swiftly turning pages. Are the foster home and the serial killer in some way connected? Will the killer be brought to justice?."--Patricia Reid, BOOK-VIEWS.COM

This timely collection provides a historical overview of violence in American popular culture from the Puritan era to the present and across a range of media. Few topics are discussed more broadly today than violence in American popular culture. Unfortunately, such discussion is often unsupported by fact and lacking in historical context. This two-volume work aims to remedy that through a series of concise, detailed essays that explore why violence has always been a fundamental part of American popular culture, the ways in which it has appeared, and how the nature and expression of interest in it have changed over time. Each volume of the collection is organized chronologically. The first focuses on violent events and phenomena in American history that have been treated across a range of popular cultural media. Topics include Native American genocide, slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, and gender violence. The second volume explores the treatment of violence in popular culture as it relates to specific genres—for example, Puritan "execution sermons," dime novels, television, film, and video games. An afterword looks at the forces that influence how violence is presented, discusses what violence in pop culture tells us about American culture as a whole, and speculates about the future.

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE • “A taut and darkly funny contemporary noir that moves at lightning speed, it’s the wittiest and most fun murder party you’ve ever been invited to.” —MARIE CLAIRE Korede’s sister Ayoola is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoola’s knife. Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend.

But when he asks Korede for Ayoola’s phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she’s willing to go to protect her.

DI Liam McLaughlin and DS Nancy D'Arcy are seasoned pros, but even their skills are stretched when a battered body turns up in an alley across from the hair salon. Declan Hoagett was a seemingly harmless wino who spent his days hanging out on the street corner where the bank used to be. He rarely asked for handouts but did occasionally burst into song. Nobody would kill him for that, would they? More baffling, why does he seem to have been killed three different ways? Are they looking for three perps? One? Two? It's up to McLaughlin, D'Arcy and those from Derry's Major Investigation Team to uncover their most heartless murderer yet. The third of the Derry Murder Mysteries, Three Times a Killer is another gripping, gritty mystery thriller with jaw-dropping twists and a touch of Gerald Hansen's signature dark humor.
