A Terrifying True Story of Secrets, Betrayal, Deception, and Murder

From one of America's most celebrated true crime authorities, an investigation into the mysterious, sudden death of Mary Yoder in Upstate New York and the law enforcement efforts that eventually led to her killer's conviction for murder. Sixty-year-old Mary Yoder and her husband of 40 years, 72-year-old Bill Yoder, owned and operated a successful chiropractic center in Whitesboro, a quaint suburb of Utica, New York. In July 2015, without warning, Mary suddenly became violently ill with vomiting, weakness, and sweating. Doctors in the ER and ICU were perplexed as to the cause of her suffering. Within days she died at the hospital, surrounded by her loved ones. The medical examiner, after consulting with the Poison Control Center, determined that she had been fatally poisoned with colchicine, a chemical given to patients with gout--but extremely toxic when not taken as prescribed. Mary did not have gout. As authorities investigated, both Mary's husband and her son were considered suspects. Suspicion ultimately focused on Kaitlyn Conley, the attractive ex-girlfriend of the Yoders' 24-year-old son, Adam. Conley, who worked as an office manager in the Yoders' chiropractic clinic, had set up an ingenious and heartless plan to frame Adam for murder as a way to get back at him for breaking up with her. Many in the community rallied to Conley's defense, proclaiming her "the real victim" of mistreatment by Adam. Her first murder trial in May 2017 ended in a hung jury. A second jury heard the case later in 2017. After jurors come back saying they too could not reach a verdict, the judge instructed them to continue deliberating, and a guilty verdict was reached hours later. In January 2018 Katlyn Conley was sentenced to serve 23 years in state prison for first-degree manslaughter.

A Novel

From the co-host of chart-topping true crime podcast Morbid, a thrilling debut novel told from the dueling perspectives of a notorious serial killer and the medical examiner following where his trail of victims leads

Something dark is lurking in the Louisiana bayou: a methodical killer with a penchant for medical experimentation is hard at work completing his most harrowing crime yet, taunting the authorities who desperately try to catch up.


But forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller is the best there is. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of historical crimes, and years of experience working in the Medical Examiner's office, she's never encountered a case she couldn't solve. Until now. Case after case is piling up on Wren's examination table, and soon she is sucked into an all-consuming cat-and-mouse chase with a brutal murderer getting more brazen by the day.


An addictive read with straight-from-the-morgue details only an autopsy technician could provide, The Butcher and the Wren promises to ensnare all who enter.

Ann Rule

The terrifying true crime story of the I-5 serial killer from Ann Rule, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Stranger Beside Me. Randall Woodfield had it all. He was an award-winning student and star athlete. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers to play in the NFL, and chosen by Playgirl as a centerfold candidate. Working in the swinging West Coast bar scene, he had his pick of willing sexual prospects. But Randall Woodfield wanted more than just sex. An appetite for unspeakable violent acts led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California, Oregon, and Washington, leaving a trail of victims along the way. As the list of his victims grew to a total of at least 44, the police faced the awesome challenge of catching and convicting a suspect who seemed too handsome and appealing to have committed such ugly crimes--crimes that filled every woman within his striking range with feat and horror....

Legends of the American Frontier 

The Lost Years

Readers of Johnstone's many westerns appreciate his taut writing and good storytelling. --Examiner.com

"Engaging and entertaining." --Spur and Lock on The Brothers O'Brien

On November 3, 1908, in the town of San Vicente, suspected of stealing a mining company payroll, Butch Cassidy was killed in a bloody shootout by the Bolivian Army.

Or was he?

In a small Texas town in 1950, a man from the Pinkerton Detective Agency interrupts an old-timer's daily game of dominos to learn the truth about Butch Cassidy--who is still alive and well and sitting right in front of him. . .

So begins the novel of the West's most legendary outlaw--as told by America's master storytellers, William W. Johnstone and J.A.Johnstone. Butch Cassidy The Lost Years reveals the stunning secret behind that infamous shootout in Bolivia that claimed the lives of the Sundance Kid and, allegedly, Butch himself. For years, there were rumors that Cassidy survived. Now, almost half a century later, an old man playing dominos tells the real story of his life and times, legend be damned.

After fleeing South America and informing the beautiful Etta Place that her beloved Sundance is dead, Butch returns to Texas searching for a place to call home. When he comes across a dying rancher who'd been shot by some rustlers, Butch promises to avenge him--and take over the ranch after his death. Assuming the name Jim Strickland, Butch tries to start a fresh new chapter in his life. But even with his old gang gone and his outlaw past behind him, trouble has a way of finding Butch. Cruel injustice--in the form of a corrupt railroad baron--pulls him into the most dangerous train robbery he's ever attempted. But if Butch Cassidy is going to ride again, it'll have to be with a newer, and wilder, Wild Bunch. . .

Filled with page-turning action and authentic historic details, Butch Cassidy The Lost Years is an exciting and fitting tribute to a true American original. Robert LeRoy Parker. Butch to his friends. Mr. Cassidy to those on the business end of his gun.

In this tale of high-spirited and terrifying adventure, set against the background of the West that Larry McMurtry has made his own, By Sorrow's River is an epic in its own right with the return of the formidable, young Tasmin Berrybender.

At the heart of this third volume of his Western saga remains the beautiful and determined Tasmin Berrybender, now married to the "Sin Killer" and mother to their young son, Monty. By Sorrow's River continues the Berrybender party's trail across the endless Great Plains of the West toward Santa Fe, where they intend, those who are lucky enough to survive the journey, to spend the winter. They meet up with a vast array of characters from the history of the West: Kit Carson, the famous scout; Le Partezon, the fearsome Sioux war chief; two aristocratic Frenchmen, whose eccentric aim is to cross the Great Plains by hot air balloon; a party of slavers; a band of raiding Pawnee; and many other astonishing characters who prove, once again, that the rolling, grassy plains are not, in fact, nearly as empty of life as they look. Most of what is there is dangerous and hostile, even when faced with Tasmin's remarkable, frosty sangfroid. She is one of the strongest and most interesting of Larry McMurtry's characters, and she stands at the center of this powerful and ambitious novel of the West.

By Sorrow's River

In this brilliant saga--the final volume of The Berrybender Narratives and an epic in its own right--Larry McMurtry lives up to his reputation for delivering novels with "wit, grace, and more than a hint of what might be called muscular nostalgia, fit together to create a panoramic portrait of the American West" (The New York Times Book Review).

As this finale opens, Tasmin and her family are under irksome, though comfortable, arrest in Mexican Santa Fe. Her father, the eccentric Lord Berrybender, is planning to head for Texas with his whole family and his retainers, English, American, and Native American. Tasmin, who would once have followed her husband, Jim Snow, anywhere, is no longer even sure she likes him, or knows where to go to next. Neither does anyone else--even Captain Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame, is puzzled by the great changes sweeping over the West, replacing Native Americans and buffalo with towns and farms.

In the meantime, Jim Snow, accompanied by Kit Carson, journeys to New Orleans, where he meets up with a muscular giant named Juppy, who turns out to be one of Lord Berrybender's many illegitimate offspring, and in whose company they make their way back to Santa Fe. But even they are unable to prevent the Mexicans from carrying the Berrybender family on a long and terrible journey across the desert to Vera Cruz.

Starving, dying of thirst, and in constant, bloody battle with slavers pursuing them, the Berrybenders finally make their way to civilization--if New Orleans of the time can be called that--where Jim Snow has to choose between Tasmin and the great American plains, on which he has lived all his life in freedom, and where, after all her adventures, Tasmin must finally decide where her future lies.

With a cast of characters that includes almost every major real-life figure of the West, Folly and Glory is a novel that represents the culmination of a great and unique four-volume saga of the early days of the West; it is one of Larry McMurtry's finest achievements.

Fans of Ace Atkins, Nevada Barr, and Robert B. Parker will love the fourth mystery in New York Times bestselling author Craig Johnson's award-winning Longmire Mystery series, the basis for LONGMIRE, the hit drama series now streaming on Netflix. It delivers more of the taut prose, engrossing characters, beautiful Wyoming setting, and satisfying depth that reviewers have been hailing since his first book, The Cold Dish. In Another Man's Moccasins, the body of a Vietnamese woman dumped along the Wyoming interstate opens a baffling case for Sheriff Longmire, whose only suspect is a Crow Indian with a troubled past. But things get even stranger when a photograph turns up in the victim's purse that ties her murder to one from Longmire's past--a case he tackled as a Marine Corps investigator forty years earlier in Vietnam.

In the title story, "Big Medicine" old Billy Dunbar has discovered some great gold-bearing gravel - but at the same time, he's also discovered 9 Apaches. If they catch sight of his burros or his prospect holes, Billy's a goner.

Emmet Fisk and Gus Mathis were minding their own business when Dusty Barron made a break from killing a man in the saloon and the two men were blocking his escape route.

"McQueen of the Tumbling K" tells the story of Wade McQueen, foreman of the Tumbling K ranch, who finds evidence of a fight on ranch land. At the ranch house, he meets a man called Jim Yount, who looks like a gambler but claims to be a cattle buyer. Now Yount - or one of his gunman - has shot McQueen. But they should have made sure he was dead before riding away.

Ruthless rancher King Bill Hale needs to get rid of the local nesters in order to graze his cattle in the high country, and his first victim is Dick Moffitt. But Moffitt's children saw it all and have turned to a man called Trent for protection. They don't know he's a gunfighter trying to hide from his reputation.
