With about 400 murders each year in Indiana, Hoosiers witness their share of human darkness And, while many citizens might prefer to forget these unfortunate episodes, the seamy side of the state must not go unexamined Notorious 92: Indiana's Most Heinous Murders In All 92 Counties examines the state's dark side, illustrating that the murderous venom of today has been present in Indiana for two centuries. From marital and financial problems to substance abuse and racial hostilities, generations of Hoosiers are linked by not only the lands they inhabit, but by the demons they face.

In Notorious 92, Andrew E. Stoner recounts murders from each of Indiana's 92 counties. Among the eye-opening cases detailed in this volume are:

• The story of Vigo County's Larry Eyler, a serial killer who claimed the lives of 21 men from 1982 to 1984
• The story of an unidentified runaway slave who was killed in downstate Switzerland County by a Kentucky slave owner in 1859
• The story of Elkhart County's Shirley Rock, a young woman who admitted to poisoning her husband because she didn't believe in divorce
• The story of brothers Anthony "The Ant" and Michael Spilotro, two alleged members of the Chicago Mob who were found beaten to death and buried in a Newton County cornfield, with the gruesome double murder portrayed in the Martin Scorsese film Casino
• The story of Marion County's Marjorie Jackson, a wealthy widow who was murdered in her home while her killer robbed her of $3.5 million, but didn t find an additional $5 million hidden around her estate

A toxic stew of floodwaters surrounded Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans after Katrina when the levees broke. Over two thousand people were trapped in the squalid conditions without security as the death toll steadily rose inside. Bodies stacked up in the chapel as the temperature soared in the overcrowded hospital and the situation became increasingly desperate. Doctors, nurses, and staff worked around the clock, caring for those inside and trying to evacuate the facility, also known as Baptist Hospital. Allegations of euthanasia would later make headlines across the country and be investigated by state and local officials. Code Blue: A Katrina Physician's Memoir finally tells the inside story of the hellish nightmare those who struggled to survive the ordeal were cast into. Dr. Richard Deichmann, the hospital's chief of medicine and one of the leaders of the evacuation, gives his compelling account of the rapidly deteriorating state of affairs at the hospital. He takes us through the daily horrors and numbing disappointments. This gripping tale of survival, despite betrayal and abandonment by the authorities, may change forever the way you view the threat of a mass disaster..
