      The heartbreaking true story of two families' thirty-year fight for justice for their murdered daughters On 9 October 1986, Russell Bishop sexually assaulted and strangled nine-year-old Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway, in woods near Brighton. He did not answer for his crimes for over thirty years. Bishop - a petty criminal known to both girls' families - was charged after his suspiciously close involvement in the search for the bodies. But a last-minute change of testimony from his then-girlfriend allowed him to go free, and the Babes in the Woods murders became one of Britain's most infamous cold cases. Four years after his shock acquittal, Bishop was convicted of the attempted murder of a seven-year-old girl. But, with his evil double-murder still unsolved, the Fellows and Hadaway families endured an endless limbo of emotional torture - with Nicola's father, Barrie Fellows, even becoming a suspect as Sussex Police floundered for a conviction - until, finally, new DNA evidence led to Bishop's being made to answer for his crimes. In this first book on the case, veteran crime reporter Paul Cheston brings to life this thirty-year saga of murder, betrayal and injustice - before three decades of hurt led, at last, to healing, justice and hope for the parents of two murdered girls. Written with the approval and cooperation of Nicola and Karen's families, The Babes in the Woods Murders sheds light once and for all on the awful truth behind what happened on 9 October 1986, and how the courtroom dramas that unfolded over a generation finally brought down one of Britain's most depraved killers

      Can they stop domestic terrorists? These guys have a plan: make the jihadists fear them more than they value martyrdom.Scarred by the devastating murder of loved ones at the hands of terrorists, four vets returning from Afghanistan meet to discuss revenge. They believe the government doesn't recognize the seriousness of the domestic jihadist movement and has no strategy for dealing with potential recruits into the movement. In addition to their concern about violent acts, they are concerned with the threats posed to Western values by the radicals seeking to impose their values on the U.S. culture. They form a group to "fight fire with fire," to use the same tactics on domestic radicals as they themselves advocate.Their efforts initially are limited and unfocused. A billionaire founder of a highly successful tech company, also determined to combat terrorism, discovers the vets activities and recruits them to join his own efforts. Using the resources of the company, the counter-terrorist operations gain greater focus and effectiveness. Despite the groups successes in preventing attacks by jihadists, the FBI sees the group as an unlawful vigilante group that has to be apprehended and punished. The group must evade both retaliation from the terrorists and apprehension by law enforcement.
