Dumping Ground: Following the Trail of the Hillside Stranglers and Their Victims
Summary
Los Angeles, the heartbeat, where sounds of lust and shopping swallow up catcalls, shameless bragging, screams of terror and delight, and from passing LAPD prowl cars darting down the San Diego Freeway come the sad and lonesome wail of sirens - police sirens - the song of the city. The city streets are a carnival, they are burlesque. The city moves like an insect. It scurries. Neon beats against the window like a probe, even in the day. And somewhere, buried deep within this crazy world, are two killers who call this place home. Their hunting ground. Their dumping ground. One of them, a man whose birth given name was Kenneth Bianchi but whom his friends know as Ken, waits in the shadows sipping beer and smoking a cigarette and watching the show with delightful glee. These women he sees - whether they be a Valley Girl or a lowly prostitute - all seem to remind him of his mother. His mother had been a prostitute who'd given him up as a child. When he first grew up and can remember, he was dressed as a girl by his mother, and he stayed that way for two or three years. And after that he was treated like what he would call the dog of the family. But that was long ago and far away; that was then and this is now. Tonight, his senses are accelerated and he can hear the pain and the sin on every street corner. It's like they were calling to him, for him and his cousin Angelo to end their pain and suffering once and for all. The world around him continues to live and breathe, and as he watches sinners kiss, as he watches them gambol and dance, he is reminded of why he's really here.

The Past Is Never Dead
Summary
On May 2, 1964, Klansman James Ford Seale picked up two black hitchhikers and drowned the young men in the Mississippi River. Seale spent more than 40 years a free man, before finally facing trial in 2007. But there could have been two defendants in the resulting case: James Ford Seale for kidnapping and murder, and the State of Mississippi for complicity - knowingly aiding, abetting, and creating men like Seale. In The Past is Never Dead, Edgar Award-winning author Harry MacLean follows Seale's trial, the legal difficulties of prosecuting kidnapping and murder charges decades later, and the strain on a state contending with a past that cannot be forgiven. MacLean's narrative is the account of a gripping legal battle and an acute meditation on the possibility of redemption.

Biosecurity Dilemmas: Dreaded Diseases, Ethical Responses, and the Health of Nations
Summary
Biosecurity Dilemmas examines conflicting values and interests in the practice of "biosecurity," the safeguarding of populations against infectious diseases through security policies. Biosecurity encompasses both the natural occurrence of deadly disease outbreaks and the use of biological weapons. Christian Enemark focuses on six dreaded diseases that governments and international organizations give high priority for research, regulation, surveillance, and rapid response: pandemic influenza, drug-resistant tuberculosis, smallpox, Ebola, plague, and anthrax. The book is organized around four ethical dilemmas that arise when fear causes these diseases to be framed in terms of national or international security: protect or proliferate, secure or stifle, remedy or overkill, and attention or neglect. For instance, will prioritizing research into defending against a rare event such as a bioterrorist attack divert funds away from research into commonly occurring diseases? Or will securitizing a particular disease actually stifle research progress owing to security classification measures? Enemark provides a comprehensive analysis of the ethics of securitizing disease and explores ideas and policy recommendations about biological arms control, global health security, and public health ethics. The book is published by Georgetown University Press.

Around the Campfire: Two Badge-Toters' Tales
Summary
Annie Acorn Audio is pleased to present Around the Campfire: Two Badge-Toters' Tales by D.A. Grady and Ron Shaw.
Telling tales around campfires goes back to the beginning of cowboy days and even before. This group of tales differs in that they are told by D.A.

Both men bring to this fictional experience an actual law enforcement background, one in the rural West and the other in urban surroundings, providing an unusual twist as they compare true cop stories – the good, the bad and the ugly.
Along the way, the listener is introduced by these two internationally read members of From Gents' Pens to a variety of unexpected events along the trail, and nights abound with skillfully woven tales, mostly true, that tug at your every emotion. So settle into your sougans, and let the boys top off your mugs as they share with you tales from Around the Campfire.

Hearts, Minds, and Coffee
Summary
Three Army enlisted men, led by an anti-war second lieutenant, were ordered on a suicide mission in Vietcong infested territory. In order to save their lives, the lieutenant sought a truce with an enemy village. Ignoring Army regulations, the four misfits worked to establish trust by helping the village obtain and plant coffee. Months later, a surprise attack by a North Vietnam Army Division against a nearby American Regiment upset the fragile peace. Thrust into the middle of assaults against Americans and counterattacks which put the village at risk, the four heroes crafted a ruse to save those on both sides. The plan failed when the commander’s chopper was shot down further exposing this squad. With death lurking all around, the four soldiers improvised on the ground. They realized their lives depended on the friendships they had engendered with the village farmers and its chief who was a colonel in the Vietcong.

The Horses of Paiute Canyon
Summary
Annie Acorn Audio is pleased to present The Horses of Paiute Canyon written by D.A. Grady and narrated by Lee Foreman. It's late spring and the last of the early blooming desert plants in Nevada are at their best. Battered and bruised, Jim Crenshaw rides away from his past and onto the Diamond G ranch, where he seeks employment - not as the foreman he is, but as a simple cowboy. Not much later, he finds himself on a two-week trip, riding fence line with only his animals, unaware and unprepared for what awaits him. Paiute Canyon hieroglyphics, a stubborn mule, and a terrorized dog all fail him, as he faces the approaching unknown. A veteran cowboy himself, D. A. Grady has applied simple, direct language in the telling of this story he's told in honor of those men who still wear boots and spurs and their animals. You won't want to miss this one!
