Death behind every door / by Graham, Heather,author.;
In the shadows of a Scottish castle, something deadly is lurking in every corner ... When FBI special agent Luke Kendrick discovers chilling evidence of dozens of victims at a crime scene in London, he recognizes the calling card of the notorious H. H. Holmes Society. Named for the nineteenth-century monster regarded as America's first serial killer, the society is comprised of a twisted web of killers, working to carry out heinous murders in Holmes's memory. And now the group's been linked to a Scottish castle turned B and B--where guests check in but never check out. Arriving at the sinister Graystone Castle posed as a tourist, Luke is joined by Special Agent Carly MacDonald, and the pair is immediately confronted by dangers hidden in the castle's depths. With guests disappearing and a network of killers closing in, Luke and Carly have only each other to rely on--and they'll have to race to cut off the head of the snake before the blood trail of the past can culminate in a very real and deadly present.

Highway of Tears : a true story of racism, indifference and the pursuit of justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls / by McDiarmid, Jessica,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An explosive examination of the missing and murdered Indigenous women of Highway 16, and a searing indictment of the society that failed them. For decades, women-- overwhelmingly from Indigenous backgrounds-- have gone missing or been found murdered along an isolated stretch of highway in northwestern B.C. The highway is called the Highway of Tears by locals, and it has come to symbolize a national crisis. In Highway of Tears, Jessica McDiarmid meticulously explores the effect these tragedies have had on communities in the region, and how systemic racism and indifference towards Indigenous lives have created a culture of "over-policing and under-protection," simultaneously hampering justice while endangering young Indigenous women. Highway of Tears will offer an intimate, first-hand look at the communities along Highway 16 and the families of the victims, as well as examine the historically fraught social and cultural tensions between settler and Indigenous peoples that underlie life in the region. Finally, it will link these cases with others found across Canada-- estimated to number over 1,200-- contextualizing them within a broader examination of the undervaluing of Indigenous lives in the country and of our ongoing failure to provide justice for the missing and murdered."-- Provided by publisher.

He will come for them, one by one ... Five shocking murders. Twenty-five years ago, DCI Harry Rhimes arrested Andrew Streeter for the brutal murders of five young people. Streeter's "kill list" of victims was found in his home, and he was convicted of all five crimes. A legacy under threat. Now, Streeter's convictions are being overturned, as new evidence implies the original investigation was corrupt. No one is more shocked than DI Henley. Because this case is personal; Rhimes was her old boss, and he's no longer alive to defend himself. But when the killings start up again, Henley must face the truth: Rhimes got it wrong twenty-five years ago. A hunt for a killer. Henley and her team reopen the original murder cases, but they must put their personal feelings to one side. Because the real killer is still out there, and he's working his way through a new kill list.

No visible trauma [videorecording] / by Francoeur, Marc Serpa,screenwriter,film director,film producer,editor of moving image work.; Uppal, Robinder,screenwriter,film director,film producer,editor of moving image work.; Lost Time Media,film distributor.;
In the midst of a global uprising against police violence and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a "wellness check", the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.E.Subtitled for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH).DVD.
