This “irresistibly absorbing” true crime investigation uncovers the brutal murder of two Dartmouth professors by a pair of students in 2001 (Publishers Weekly). On a cold night in January 2001, the idyllic community of Dartmouth College was shattered by the discovery that Half and Susanne Zantop, two of its most beloved professors, had been hacked to death in their own home. Investigators searched helplessly for clues linking the victims to their murderers. Weeks later, in the nearby town of Chelsea, Vermont, they sought out a pair of high school seniors for questioning. Then Robert Tulloch and his best friend, Jim Parker, fled. Suddenly, two of Chelsea’s brightest and most popular sons had become fugitives, wanted for the murders of Half and Susanne Zantop. Authors Mitchell Zuckoff and Dick Lehr provide a vivid explication of a murder that captivated the nation, as well as dramatic revelations about the forces that turned two popular teenagers into killers. Judgement Ridge conveys the devastating loss of Half and Susanne Zantop, while also providing a clear portrait of the killers, their families, and their community—and, perhaps, a warning to any parent about what evil may lurk in the hearts of boys.

Their friendship would kill her… Weaver and fiber artist Edith “Pen” Meyer knew her friend Sandy Merritt’s relationship with a married man was wrong. She had even urged Sandy to take out a restraining order against Kenneth Carpenter. Which was why her call to Sandy on February 23, 2005, seemed to come from out of the blue. During it, she told Sandy to drop the restraining order and get back together with Ken. Pen was never seen again. One man stood to gain from Pen’s disappearance: Ken Carpenter. But evidence was bleak: no blood, no DNA, no body. Until detectives found notes hidden beneath a leather chair that turned out to be a playbook for murder… INCLUDES PHOTOS

The Dartmouth Murders: The Dartmouth Hall clock strikes a "cold, damp six" as student Ken Harris awakens to the ominous sound of muffled rhythmic raps against a dormitory window. Upon rising and looking out the window, Ken finds to his horror that the eerie noise is coming from the two bare feet of his roommate, Byron Coates, whose rain-slicked, pajama-clad body hangs suspended from a rope fire escape. Initially it is believed that Byron committed suicide, but soon it is established that the moody Dartmouth student was the victim of a foul play. As strange events unfold and yet more unnatural deaths follow, a bewildered Ken finds himself questioning the motives of everyone around him. Even his officious attorney and author father, on hand and helping the floundering police with their investigation, comes under suspicion. When will this nightmare rampage of murders at Dartmouth end? The Wailing Rock Murders: Perched above the rocky coast near Ogunquit Beach, Maine, are two identical mansions, Victorian monstrosities with cupolas like travesties of crowns, "fashioned of rusty iron and set with blind isinglass." In the cupolas of both houses murder strikes, in most savage fashion. On the hunt for the killer is the brilliant, elderly amateur detective Spaton "Spider" Meech, whose ward, lovely Garda Lawrence, is, to his profound horror, the first of the victims. Over the course of one hagridden evening and morning, Meech confronts the most challenging-and horrendous-case in his celebrated crime-fighting career. Local legend says that when the rock wails death will follow-a claim chillingly borne out repeatedly as a remorseless "Spider" strives to ensnare a murderer in his web of detection.
