Who
Killed Kurt Cobain?: The Mysterious Death of an Icon by Ian Halperin et al Sure... just another drug addict rock star suicide. Except he had 75x the lethal dose of heroin in him, no prints were on the gun, and the 'suicide' part of Kurt's note was not in Kurt's handwriting. Could the fact he was ready to divorce that *$#@ wife of his and her prenup would leave her with nothing behind it? Oh, you bet. After I read this book and looked at Tom Grant's investigative package, I am convinced he was murdered. Even the skeptic will agree, there are some people who have questions to answer and were never asked. |

Deviant:
The Shocking True Story of the Original 'Psycho' by Harold Schechter Ed Gein, the mild mannered farmer who made nipple belts, vests from women's skins, dug up his dates and worse..oh, much worse. There's a few factual books on this guy but I think this is the best. Trust me, they don't need to embellish. |
