Synopsis Twisted But True by : Darren Burch

Retired Phoenix Police Sergeant Darren Burch captivates you on another wild police ride-along with outrageously macabre and compelling stories from his thirty-year career as a rookie cop, sex crime detective, and night detective sergeant in the Phoenix Police Department’s Homicide Unit in this gut-clinching, horrific, and oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny follow-up to Darren’s award-winning true-crime book, Twisted But True. Darren’s dark humor reemerges with a vengeance, starting with death and despair, and then to the hilarious as a rookie cop in “That First Squad,” to a case of animal sexual depravity in “Choking the Chicken,” and a deadly home invasion beyond belief in “That One Case”, which was featured on the ID Channel’s American Detective TV series. These thirty true-crime stories mirror the time frame of Twisted But True, but this time, Darren goes even deeper and darker by filling in the cracks.

Synopsis TWISTED BUT TRUE: Book III - Plugging Up the Holes by : Darren Burch

Retired Phoenix Police Sergeant Darren Burch captivates you on a third twisted police ride-along with more outrageously macabre and riveting stories from his 30-year career as a rookie patrol officer, sex crimes detective, child crimes supervisor and homicide night detective sergeant in this compelling follow-up to the 2019 Pinnacle Award winning “Twisted But True” and the 2020 Pinnacle Award winning “Twisted But True Book II – Filling in the Cracks,” which resulted in Darren being featured on ID Channel’s American Detective with Lt. Joe Kenda.

Synopsis Twisted History by : Howard Watson

Twisted History brings to life the incredible stories of 32 historical figures -- murderers, assassins and traitors who embraced the dark side, and martyrs and innocents who paid with their lives in the pursuit of good. All changed world history. The book is lavishly illustrated with stunning illustrations and period photographs. Accessible text and fact boxes describe evil and angelic acts across the centuries, like Judas, whose name would come to define betrayal, Joan of Arc, victorious virgin soldier and patron saint of France, and René Goupil, tortured and martyred by Native Americans, who became the first American saint. Twisted History puts readers face to face with vile villains and true heroes. They include: William Wallace, the Scottish hero who was hanged, drawn and quartered by the English for high treason (c.1270-1305) Vlad the Impaler, who enjoyed torturing and impaling his victims (1431-76) Bernie Madoff (1938- ), architect of the biggest financial scam in history, a $65-billion Ponzi scheme that shattered banks, insurance companies and private investors Kazuo Taoka, boss of the most powerful and merciless Japanese yakuza gang (1913-81).

Synopsis Strange But True by : Dr. A.H. Khan

Written clearly, the aim of the book “Strange but True” is to highlight some points. There are many incidences that occurred in the hospitals which are of general interest to the general readers. The author is conscious that some points may be sensitive so he made it clear that the book is not meant to insult, degrade, defame or anything like this to anyone. The author believes that this world and this country (U.K.) have given him so much, which he wants to give back to the world/country for the benefit of other people. As a Muslim, the author has questioned many beliefs common among Asian Muslims, which are frequently addressed in the mosques, written in so-called Islamic literature and believed by many Muslims. In addition to his professional knowledge as a medical doctor, the author’s overall general knowledge and knowledge in sciences is of high standard. He was selected to be trained as a magistrate, went through two stages of interviews, but because of his heavy workload as a consultant in the NHS, could not complete his training. His consultant colleagues from his last hospital, the manager of that hospital and the consultants from his previous jobs in NHS, where he worked as a junior doctor, speak very highly about him.

Synopsis Twisted by : John Glatt

He Had A Successful Career, A Selfless Wife, And Three Loving Children. When high school sweethearts Karen and Richard Sharpe married, they shared an interest in medicine, a desire for family, and a dream for the future. For Karen, that dream became a nightmare. After years of abuse at the hands of her physician husband, she put an end to their 26-year marriage. Fearing a crushing divorce settlement, Richard ended the marriage first by unloading a .22-caliber rifle into Karen's chest. The murder revealed more about the millionaire doctor-and his double life-than polite Boston society was prepared for. He Also Had A Secret That Shot His Picture-Perfect World To Hell. Behind the doors of their upscale Massachusetts home, Dr. Sharpe was a compulsive cross-dresser with a penchant for his own daughter's underwear-a respected family man who had not only been taking hormones to grow breasts, but who stole his wife's birth control pills to supplement them. But not even his own family could have imagined that it would take cold-blooded murder to finally reveal the good doctor's disturbing secrets, and shatter forever the prosaic façade of an all-American family.
