American predator : the hunt for the most meticulous serial killer of the 21st century / by Callahan, Maureen(Journalist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A gripping tour de force of investigative journalism that takes us deep into the investigation behind one of the most frightening and enigmatic serial killers in modern American history, and into the ranks of a singular American police force: the Anchorage PD. Most of us have never heard of Israel Keyes. But he is one of the most ambitious, meticulous serial killers of modern time. The FBI considered his behavior unprecedented. Described by a prosecutor as "a force of pure evil," he was a predator who struck all over the United States. He buried "kill kits"--cash, weapons, and body-disposal tools--in remote locations across the country and over the course of fourteen years, would fly to a city, rent a car, and drive thousands of miles in order to use his kits. He would break into a stranger's house, abduct his victims in broad daylight, and kill and dispose of them in mere hours. And then he would return home, resuming life as a quiet, reliable construction worker devoted to his only daughter. When journalist Maureen Callahan first heard about Israel Keyes in 2012, she was captivated by how a killer of this magnitude could go undetected by law enforcement for over a decade. And so began a project that consumed her for the next several years--uncovering the true story behind how the FBI ultimately caught Israel Keyes, and trying to understand what it means for a killer like Keyes to exist. A killer who left a path of monstrous, randomly committed crimes in his wake--many of which remain unsolved to this day. American Predator is the ambitious culmination of years of on-the-ground interviews with key figures in law enforcement and in Keyes's life, and research uncovered from classified FBI files. Callahan takes us on a journey into the chilling, nightmarish mind of a relentless killer, and the limitations of traditional law enforcement, in one of America's most isolated environments--Alaska--when faced with a killer who defies all expectation and categorization"--

Queen Esther : a novel / by Irving, John,1942-author.;
"From one of the world's most critically acclaimed and beloved writers comes a big-hearted and intricately crafted novel about purpose, belonging, and the lengths we will go to find ourselves. Thomas and Constance Winslow of Pennacook, New Hampshire are the quiet iconoclasts of their tidy New England town, their subtle rebellions against stodgy, churchgoing conformity the perennial subject of the townspeople's inconsequential murmuring. That is, until their adoption of a precocious fourteen-year-old Jewish girl from the quietly infamous orphanage in St. Cloud's to serve as an au pair to their youngest daughter, Honor, gives the townspeople of Pennacook something to talk about. ... Two decades later, amid the outbreak of the Second World War, the fiercely self-reliant Jewish au pair, Esther Natch, is in Europe fighting Nazis, but still devoted to Honor, and to a special arrangement between the two of them: Esther will be the surrogate biological mother of a child that Honor and the Winslow family will raise as their own. True to her word and better, in 1941 Esther gives birth to James "Jimmy" Winslow, who quickly becomes the apple of the Winslow family's eye. In 1963, Jimmy is twenty-two and determined to be a fiction writer. His studies take him to Vienna, where he spends an eventful year, during which his mother Honor is determined to secure him a draft deferment by any means--whether by physical injury or by "knocking someone up." In Vienna and the years that follow, the mysterious activities of Jimmy's Jewish birthmother Esther and her covert, globetrotting activities remain a poignant throughline in Jimmy's life, leading to a revelatory journey to conflict-torn Jerusalem in 1981. A triumphant return to the literary universe of John Irving's beloved, landmark novel The Cider House Rules, Queen Esther is a touching, timely, and propulsive masterwork from one of the most accomplished novelists of the last century."--

One day, everyone will have always been against this / by El Akkad, Omar,1982-author.;
"From award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad comes a powerful reckoning with what it means to live in the heart of an empire that doesn't consider you fully human. On October 25th, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: "One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this." This tweet was viewed more than ten million times. One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This chronicles the deep fracture that has occurred for Black, brown, Indigenous Americans, as well as the upcoming generation, many of whom had clung to a thread of faith in Western ideals, in the idea that their countries, or the countries of their adoption, actually attempted to live up to the values they espouse"--

30 seconds from Gaza [graphic novel] : diary of genocide / by Sabaaneh, Mohammad,1979-author,illustrator.; Hodali, Nada,translator.; Pappé, Ilan,writer of foreword.;
Mohammad Sabaaneh bears witness to genocide in 30 Seconds from Gaza--a graphic reflection that captures the horror of experiencing mass atrocity through 30-second video snippets sent to his phone in real time after October 7th, 2025. Sabaaneh documents the brutal realities of life under Israeli occupation. His powerful illustrations confront the atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank, exposing the violence of apartheid and settler colonialism while honoring the unwavering resilience of the Palestinian people. After being shadow-banned on social media, and losing 15 years of content due to censorship, Sabaaneh began drawing from the very footage most at risk of being deleted. Each image in this book is an act of defiance--an effort to preserve a visual history that corporations and occupiers seek to erase.

Louis Theroux: The Settlers. by Baker, Josh,film director.; Theroux, Louis,actor.; BBC Studios (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Louis TherouxOriginally produced by BBC Studios in 2025.Louis Theroux spends time with the growing community of Israeli religious-nationalist settlers. Their settlements are illegal under international law, and they have been protected by the army, the police and the Israeli government. Since the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed, there has been an acceleration in the establishment of settlements, with settlers pursuing a campaign of violence against local Palestinian communities. What was once a fringe movement has now won support at the highest levels of the government, with their supporters holding key positions in the cabinet and able to influence not only the role the military plays but also the future of this conflict. Louis Theroux embeds himself in the West Bank, meeting prominent settlers - including the ‘godmother’ of the movement, Daniella Weiss - and travelling throughout the territory to understand the consequences of their activity. Louis also meets Palestinians, whose lives have been impacted by settlers moving into their communities. As the world focuses on Gaza, where at least 50,000 Palestinians are estimated to have been killed by Israeli forces since 7 October, Louis discovers that the settlers are already making plans to move into that territory, too.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
