1968038819London: Heinemann 1968 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st UK Ed. "Only the Foreign Office" a junior diplomat remarks "could have sent a bull to catch a matador." The bull is Alan Turner a rough-necked rough-mouthed lovable misfit from Foreign Office Security; the matador is Leo Harting a middle-aged Second Secretary from the British Embassy in Bonn "a sprite weightless as the dark slipping through the shadows as if they were a net". This is the man who after twenty years of apparently loyal service to the Crown has vanished taking with him official files hot enough to frustrate or indeed compromise the entire British position at the negotiating table at Brussels where a faltering British Government is making a desperate last attempt to save the national economy and get into the Common Market. In this atmosphere of approaching crisis Alan Turner therefore is despatched from London to find Harting. "Which do they want" he asks "The man or the files" Gradually it becomes clear that one is not enough without the other." Previous owner's book plate of ffep else fine. Heinemann hardcover

"A California rabbi who rejects completely the existing outlook on crime which “puts men in prisons instead of hospitals. ” has resigned as Jewish chaplain at San Quentin Folsom and Alcatraz prisons. Because society “has not yet learned that crime is but another form of mental or emotional disturbance ” being a prison chaplain was “so futile ” said Rabbi Julius A. Leibert that he could no longer continue. “All I could do was listen with never a say where it mattered for the men. ““Prisons are a carry-over from the dim cruel unenlightened past ” he asserted adding that such institutions should be called “hospitals ” with inmates considered as receiving treatment rather than punishment. He called inmates of San Quentin “poor sick persons” who were “compelled time after time to commit crimes” because they were “inadequately treated as sick persons. ” from Jewish Telegraphic Agency Aug 29 1957 ; 223p. pages; Pictured 1/18/24 .

1987011588London: Grafton 1987 In 1974 a young bride named Arlis Perry was brutally murdered in the Stanford University church. It appeared to be a ritualistic killing with few clues left behind and the police closed the case deciding the murder had been committed by yet another California crazy Years later on the East Coast a book about satanism was smuggled from the confines of a maximum security prison. The words "Arlis Perry. Hunted Stalked and Slain. Followed to California" were scrawled in the margin of one of its pages by none other than confessed Son of Samkiller David Berkowitz. At the close of the Son of Sam case investigative reporter Maury Terry became fascinated with it and began his own private inquiries. He tracked down every detail interviewing witnesses and studying the satanic anagrams in the killers letters until he became convinced that Berkowitz had not acted alone. Now in this stunning and frightening work Terry reveals for the first time how a satanic network appears to have been behind not only the Son of Sam killings but also the murder of Arlis Perry the Charles Manson slayings and several other bizarre and grisly incidents which have occurred since the early 1970s. An extraordinary exposproving that there is indeed a satanic cult active today The Ultimate Evil is a persuasive and alarming probe into this little-known but awesomely deadly group. excellent copy in unclipped DW small splits to bottom corners of DW at the folds xiii 512pp plates heavy book may incur higher postage charges .

The documentary contained exclusive firsthand testimony of a member of the Loyalist committee responsible for the murders. This source provided a detailed account of how various assassinations had been planned and carried out. The broadcast of 'The Committee' resulted in highly publicized legal proceedings in the High Court in London when the British Conservative government tried unsuccessfully to force the program makers to identify their source. Since the broadcast of his documentary McPhilemy has struggled to protect his reputation in the face of various legal actions against him over the program. Harassed by British authorities and his life threatened he has brought two libel actions against newspapers in London that sought to discredit him. THE COMMITTEE gives a full account of the murder conspiracy the making of the documentary the subsequent legal proceedings and additional evidence that substantiates the original allegations. In nthe meantime the Committee alledgely continues to operate with impunity -- and Loyalist terrorists carry on the killing.". Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket.
