How I Lost Myself in the Mysterious Disappearance of Maura Murray

When an eleven year old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession leads James to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, James began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a UMass student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. Over the course of his investigation, he uncovers numerous important and shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. The result is an absorbing dual investigation of the complicated story of the All-American girl who went missing and James's own equally complicated true crime addiction.

James Renner'sTrue Crime Addict is the story of his spellbinding investigation of the missing person's case of Maura Murray, which has taken on a life of its own for armchair sleuths across the web. In the spirit of David Fincher'sZodiac, it is a fascinating look at a case that has eluded authorities and one man's obsessive quest for the answers.

Ann Rule

Rhode Island

From New York Times bestselling author Ann Rule comes a riveting true crime story of Florida highway patrolman Tim Harris and his chilling crimes.

In You Belong to Me, Ann Rule fixes her unsparing professional gaze on one of Florida's most shocking criminal cases--that of Tim Harris, a poster-perfect all-American Florida State Trooper who hid bizarre and fatal fantasies behind his badge--plus other incredible true crime cases from her personal files.

Mesmerizing us with her masterful exploration of the personalities and backgrounds of the criminals and their families, and the circumstances surrounding each crime, Rule again proves that she is the "undisputed master crime writer of the eighties and nineties" (John Saul).
