- Black tunnel white magic : a murder, a detective's obsession, and '90s Los Angeles at the brink / by Jackson, Rick,author.; Connelly, Michael,1956-writer of foreword.; McGough, Matthew,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."This is the story of Rick Jackson, a famed LA homicide detective and eventual cold case investigator, and the case that he's never managed to let go. In June 1990, a white male UCLA student was found stabbed to death in a tunnel near the infamous Spahn Ranch, where Charles Manson and his followers had lived. That night, Jackson and his partner, Frank Garcia, were called on the scene and soon focused their investigation on the young man's two male roommates, one Black and one white. Nothing about the case made sense, though- not the relationship between these young men, not the potential influence of Wicca (then a trend among youth, and closely tied to the moral panic around Satanism), not the justice system that tried the two roommates very differently, and not Los Angeles itself, which was and remains a fraught tinderbox of racial bias and violence. In straightforward, matter-of-fact prose, Jackson takes us through the events as he and his partner experienced them, with no foreknowledge of information that would emerge later in the case. Readers will feel as though they are a fly on the wall, piecing together the truth about what happened to Ron Baker as the detectives did themselves, day by day and clue by clue"--- Subjects: Biographies.; True crime stories.; Personal narratives.; Murder; Murder; Race relations.;

- Rick Riordan Presents: A Touch of Blood [electronic resource] : by Patel, Sajni.aut; cloudLibrary;
Read the Persephone myth like never before in this companion to A Drop of Venom by Sajni Patel, where Greek mythology meets Indian lore. Gods are made, not born. Before Manisha, the youngest of three sisters, was sent to hide on the floating mountain, her eldest sister, Eshani, made a deal with the shades. In order to save her people in the midst of a tragic war, she exchanged her life for theirs. Now, years later, the shades claim their due, dragging Eshani into the Nightmare Realm where she must find the Gatekeeper to fulfill her end of the bargain. Nothing is as it seems in a land filled with ravenous monsters, ghoulish residents, and a river full of the dead. But most terrifying of all is the Shadow King, who intends to use Eshani to obtain immortality. As it turns out, Eshani—nicknamed “little goddess of spring”—is the key to fulfilling the Nightmare Realm’s prophecy. There’s only one person who can help Eshani escape, and he has his own problems. Hiran has spent most of his life hiding, but destiny beckons, and he can no longer resist the call of the realm. But how can a stowaway, long thought to be dead, save an entire world? Nothing will stop the Nightmare Realm from getting what it wants. Except maybe a king in the making and a goddess rising.
