WHO WAS THE KILLER? For as long as anyone could remember, the Grizzly - the mightiest native beast in America's National Parks - had caused no harm to humans. Campers had come to treat this giant animal with a mixture of fondness and contempt, as if the king of the wilderness were a plaything designed for their amusement. Then, in a single night, two lovely young girls were savagely mangled and killed by enraged bears - and the Grizzly became an enemy that had to be destroyed. Night of the Grizzlies is a tautly compelling, deeply probing reconstruction of events surrounding the gruesome deaths of Julie Helgeson and Michele Koons. Even more than that, it is a gripping and moving tragedy of the great Grizzlies' inexorable extermination at the hands of the most deadly animal of all - the creature called man.

At first they didn't know...For twenty-five years, the trusted family doctor in a small Wyoming town had been raping and molesting the women and children who most relied on him.Then they were afraid to tell...Mostly Mormons, the naive victims sometimes realized on their wedding nights the truth about what had happened in Dr. Story's office.Then nobody believed them...In riveting detail, veteran crime writer Jack Olsen tells the searing story  of a small group of courageous women who decided to bring a doctor to justice - and unearthed a legacy of pain and anger that would divide their families, their neighbors...and an entire town.

The mass murder of almost thirty young boys in Houston may well have been the most heinous crime of the century. How could such a series of murders go undetected for almost three years before being exposed? The Man with the Candy is a brilliant investigative journalist's story of the crime and the answer to that question.

Olsen delivers the chilling tale of a mother so desperate for attention that she murdered one of her children and repeatedly attempted to suffocate the other. This is the first book to focus on Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a disorder in which parents create fake illnesses in their children to receive attention from their families and medical practitioners.
