The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst

A National Bestseller

From New Yorker staff writer and bestselling author of The Nine and The Run of His Life: The People v. O. J. Simpson, the definitive account of the kidnapping and trial that defined an insane era in American history

On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, a sophomore in college and heiress to the Hearst Family fortune, was kidnapped by a ragtag group of self-styled revolutionaries calling itself the Symbonese Liberation Army. The weird turns that followed in this already sensational take are truly astonishing--the Hearst family tried to secure Patty's release by feeding the people of Oakland and San Francisco for free; bank security cameras captured "Tania" wielding a machine gun during a roberry; the LAPD engaged in the largest police shoot-out in American history; the first breaking news event was broadcast live on telelvision stations across the country; and then there was Patty's circuslike trial, filled with theatrical courtroom confrontations and a dramatic last-minute reversal, after which the term "Stockholm syndrome" entered the lexicon. 

Ultimately, the saga highlighted a decade in which America seemed to be suffering a collective nervous breakdown. American Heiress portrays the electrifying lunacy of the time and the toxic mic of sex, politics, and violence that swept up Patty Hearst and captivated the nation.

Peter Haining

"Cannibal Killers" is a comprehensive study of the terrible phenomenon of the human flesh eater. Far from being the speciality of obscure tribes in the distant jungles, the cannibals are uncomfortably close to home. The cities of America and Europe, the provinces of revolutionary China, the 'Fatal Shore' of colonized Australia and the open lifeboats of a wrecked ship all yield up grisly tales of forbidden meat. The cases covered in this chilling collection include: Armin Meiwes, the internet sex cannibal, by his own account the first predator ever to consume a consenting victim; Ed Gein, the original 'Psycho', whose butchery sent a chill through the heart of America; Jeffrey Dahmer, the zombie-obsessed necrophiliac whose killing spree lasted thirteen years; Daniel and Manuela Ruda, vampiric soulmates who swore that they were the tools of the devil; and, Issei Sagawa, the diminutive Japanese student whose obsession with cannibalism found horrible expression in the murder of his only friend.
