title: True Crime Stories Volume 1: 12 Terrifying True Crime Murder Cases (List of Twelve)
author:  Ryan Becker 
description: "These murders were never discussed, or if they were, I never heard of them. Yet, Mr. Becker did these so well and it was hard for me to put down."<b> James Herington, reader<span></span></b><br /><b></b><br />"The style is appropriate, the language engaging. I couldn't put it down. The analogies and methapors, in their rare appearance only added still."<b> Miguel Caldeira, reader<span></span></b><br /><b></b><br />"Discovered Ryan Becker by browsing the true crime catagories, so glad I did! Most crimes I have not heard of and this was refreshing!" <b>Kathy Morgan, reader</b><br /><b></b><br />"Becker embarks on a journey through the minds and lives of twelve lesser known, yet no less stunning, criminals. However, don't let the brevity of each criminal's section betray the depth of the narratives. Each criminal discussed brings something new to the table and gives us insight into their actions, what led up to the acts of aggression, the act itself, and the aftermath are all described in (gruesome) detail." <b>Calvin Lui, reader</b><br /><br />"Grisly but fascinating to read the manner in which Ryan approaches his subject matter" <b>Grady Harp, reader</b>

  snow but we'd have made more noise in the hard-packed center of the road. The
  end of the snowstorm had brought that still, bitter cold when a running step
  echoes like hammer on anvil._
  
  _We heard the guard 's carbine blast the padlock off the gate. We started to
  run again, and the siren went off; there must have been a switch in the sentry
  box. We heard the sound of a car coming toward us and saw the long beams of
  the headlights slashing into the shadows of the trees at the bend in the road
  ahead. The rising scream of the siren and the moving light and the throb of
  the car's engine seemed to freeze us where we stood..._
