Ancestors and Enemies
Summary
As the 20th century was ending and the millennium approached, a new ethnic category was invented in the South. The Melungeons were born thrashing and squawling into the American consciousness. They were a tri-racial clan hidden away in the hills and hollers of Lower Appalachia with a genetic predisposition to six fingers and Mediterranean diseases and an unsavory reputation for moonshining, counterfeiting and secret cults. DNA studies showed they were probably descended from Portuguese colonists and had connections with Jews, Muslims, Africans, Native Americans and Romani (Gypsies). Were they the country's oldest indigenous people? They soon got on the radar of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Office of Recognition, which fought the nascent identity movement tooth and nail. This collection by two researchers involved in the explosive controversy tells the story of the Melungeon Movement in a coherent, chronological fashion for the first time. Fourteen original illlustrations, ranging from Granny Dollar, the last Cherokee Indian in Northeast Alabama, to Luis Gomez, builder of the oldest standing Jewish residence in the United States, add interest to the portrayal of this mysterious and exotic ethnic community.

Never Solved
Summary
Cold case murders are those defined that for one reason or another have not been solved. Cold case crimes are among the most difficult to solve for many reasons and the longer the case goes unsolved, the less likely they are to ever come to closure. Despite increasing advances in scientific and forensic technology, it's not always the physical evidence that determines the resolution of a homicide. In most trials today, it's also vitally important to tie the suspect to that physical evidence. Never Solved: The True Stories of America's Most Notorious Unsolved Murders is the 5th of John Summit's True Crime books and profiles seven stories of the most notorious true crime mysteries in American history. These cases will leave you flabbergasted at the bungled police stories, leave you wondering how likely suspects were never prosecuted and leave you sympathizing with the families of the victims who never saw closure.

Released to Kill Again
Summary
Are criminals who have been convicted of murder really being released back into society to live among us? WARNING: The cases profiled in this thought provoking book will both disturb and anger you. Recidivism, as defined in psychiatry journals, is the chronic tendency to repeat anti-social or criminal behavior patterns. Prison systems, in part, are intended to rehabilitate the criminal so these same behavior patterns will not be repeated. However, when an individual commits the most serious of crimes - murder - and then they're convicted of that crime, most receive life in prison or the death penalty. So, how is it that the criminal justice system is failing so horribly and releasing them after committing such violence in society? Released to Kill Again is the 4th volume in the True Crime Series by John Summit. In this audiobook, he reveals the shocking true crime and murder stories of 7 convicted criminals who not only killed once, but were paroled...only to kill again.
