- The program : inside the mind of Keith Raniere and the rise and fall of NXIVM / by Natalie, Toni,author.; Hardin, Chet,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Many have heard of NXIVM and its creator, Keith Raniere, an unassuming Albany man who prosecutors say ensnared tens of thousands of people in the US, Mexico and elsewhere, to do his bidding and pay millions of dollars to participate in his self-improvement methodology. What is not known is how many more people came under the thrall of this man in the years leading up to and including his founding of NXIVM. Where did Keith Raniere begin? How did he build NXIVM and its prior incarnations? And, most notably, how was this relatively far-flung entrepreneur able to get and keep his access to the wealth and power that allowed him to lure so many successful, sophisticated people? Enter single mother Toni Natalie, Keith's Patient Zero, the first one indoctrinated into Raniere's methodology and the first one to escape. Told in three parts, the narrative uniquely walks us through the origin story to the fall of Raniere through Toni's eyes and ears. During this time, she bore witness to the evolution of his methodology, including his use of sexual coercion and entrapment, blackmail, and employment of psychological tools such as hypnosis and neuro linguistic programming to ambush, control, and punish those who would not heed his wishes ... most of all Toni. Though unaware of Raniere's true motives and the extent of his involvement until she reconnected with others, Toni can uniquely detail the thousands of fortunes lost and the lives left in disarray that she witnessed contemporaneously, as she pulls back the curtain on the mind control techniques used on members of NXIVM and DOS, a group of women allegedly coerced into sexual acts under the guise of a "women's empowerment" inner circle, whom Raniere exercised extreme control over directly and through his lieutenants. But far from being a victim's story, in the spirit of Erin Brockovich, Toni's is a nuanced narrative of a multi-dimensional woman saving herself, and then working tirelessly to help other women do the same for themselves. Today, Toni is happy, reunited with her son, and surrounded by friends and family--it is this perspective that makes her such a unique storyteller"--- Subjects: Raniere, Keith.; Natalie, Toni.; NXIVM (Firm); Cult members.; Ex-cultists.; Human trafficking.;

- Silenced no more : surviving my journey to hell and back / by Ransome, Sarah,author.;
"Sarah Ransome was recruited into Jeffrey Epstein's network when she was 22, during her first months in Manhattan, and in America. Her desire to network in hopes of getting into the Fashion Institute of Technology were destroyed overnight and Sarah found herself imprisoned by a web of co-conspirators on an island ... after enduring unimaginable trauma, Sarah bravely pulls back the curtain on a hell that only those who entered it can truly testify to. Her eloquent, inspiring, and detailed testimony completely changes our understanding of the depths and depravity of this complex and morally bankrupt sex-trafficking ring and gives us hope for how the power of words can heal and transform"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Ransome, Sarah.; Ex-prostitutes; Human trafficking victims; Sexual abuse victims;

She's never needed-or wanted-a man around ... until she meets Cade McKenzie. The take-charge bar owner sets off all kinds of alarm bells for Sterling, but he also sets her heart racing. Cade's lived in Ridge Trail long enough to know trouble when he sees it, and the moment Sterling-Star-walks into his bar, he knows trouble's come to call.

- Out of the shadows / by Nagy, Timea,author.;
"A stunning, unforgettable story of an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances who defies the odds. Timea Nagy was twenty years old when she answered a newspaper ad in Budapest, Hungary, calling for young women to work as housekeepers and babysitters in Canada. Interviewed and hired by what seemed like a bona fide recruitment agency, Timea left her home on the promise she would earn good money to send home to her family. She had no idea that she'd been lured by a ring of international human traffickers. Upon her arrival in Toronto, she was forced into sex labour in some of the city's seediest nightclubs and kept by her "agents" for three months until she escaped. This is her captivating, heartbreaking but ultimately redemptive story. It will take readers from the early years of Timea's life in Communist Hungary, offering a look inside an austere but complicated world ruled by community, restriction and struggle; then, to the dark, abusive three months working as a sex slave in a country that Timea once believed would offer her freedom and opportunity; and, finally, in riveting detail, through the heart-pounding escape Timea plots. Compelling and sweeping, balancing a tragic and unbelievable experience with a powerful story of grace, Timea Nagy's journey is one that will stay with you long after you read the last page."-- Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Biographies.; Nagy, Timea.; Human trafficking victims; Human trafficking; Hungarian Canadians; Prostitution;

- An honest man / by Koryta, Michael,author.;
""I am a killer, and I am an honest man." Israel Pike thinks to himself as he sits in police custody. It's been several days since he discovered the bodies of seven men, butchered aboard their yacht. Israel had climbed aboard to investigate when he saw the boat floating listlessly, but his interference at the scene and connection to one of the deceased has made him the FBI's prime suspect. And elsewhere on the island is 12-year-old Lyman Rankin, who, when hiding in a nearby shack from his raging, alcoholic father, discovers he is not alone. A woman, bloody and dripping wet with a hatchet in hand greets him in the doorway: "Make a sound and I'll kill you" she threatens"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Novels.; Ex-convicts; Human trafficking; Murder; Suspects (Criminal investigation);
