Frank Sinatra desperately wanted to be part of John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s gang. He had his own famed "Rat Pack", made up of hard drinking, womanizing individuals like himself - guys like Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Peter Lawford - but the guy "Ol' Blue Eyes" really wanted to hang with was Lawford's brother-in-law, the real chairman of the board, John F. Kennedy. In Sinatra and the Jack Pack, Michael Sheridan delves deep into the acclaimed singer's relationship with the former president.

A quiet, wealthy plantation owner, Jack Hinson watched the start of the Civil War with disinterest. Opposed to secession and a friend to Union and Confederate commanders alike, he did not want a war. After Union soldiers seized and murdered his sons, placing their decapitated heads on the gateposts of his estate, Hinson could remain indifferent no longer. He commissioned a special rifle for long-range accuracy, he took to the woods, and he set out for revenge.

Anne Lister was a Regency landowner, an intrepid world traveller...and an unabashed lover of other women. In this bold new biography, prizewinning author Angela Steidele uses the diaries to create a portrait of Anne Lister as we've never seen her before: a woman in some ways very much of her time and in others far ahead of it.

The classic and fascinating story of Jack Kerouac, "King of the Beats" and American literary legend, recorded through the voices of his friends and lovers. Authors Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee retraced Kerouac's life at home and on the road and talked with the prophets, musicians, poets, socialites, and working people who knew him. Some are famous (Allen Ginsberg, Gore Vidal, William Burroughs); some are not (Jack's boyhood buddies, his lovers, his barroom companions).

Londra, estate 1888. Mentre i flussi migratori rendono Londra una delle prime metropoli globali, tra le strade affollate dei sobborghi dell'East End un corpo martoriato segna il passaggio tra un prima ed un dopo. Perchè quello che sembra un normale delitto a danno di una sventurata del quartiere, rappresenta invece il primo di una lunga serie. Il primo atto compiuto da colui che passerà alla storia come il primo serial killer moderno, l'assassino di Withechapel, lo sventratore dell'East End o, più semplicemente, "Jack lo Squartatore".

Jack l'éventreur est un tueur en série du Londres de la fin du XIXe siècle, dont l'identité n'a jamais été établie. Le pseudonyme passé à la postérité provient d'une lettre envoyée à l'agence de presse London Central News Agency dont l'auteur se présente comme étant le meurtrier, et qui signa "Jack l'éventreur". Il assassina au moins cinq prostituées du quartier pauvre de Whitechapel, à Londres en 1888.
