Publisher's summary
I'm writing these books because I'm tired of watching my friends die. Everything that we have done in America to deal with the opioid epidemic has made us drastically worse, and people don't seem to realize it.
Irresponsible, profit-mongering pharmaceutical companies created millions of addicts like me. By becoming acquainted with the power and peace that a pocketful of oxy can bring an anxious teenager, readers will begin to understand exactly how so many of us got hooked on oxy, and how oxy serves as a gateway to criminal behavior and other drugs.
Readers will also come to understand why the criminal justice system makes so many of us even worse, as you join me in flashbacks to my arrest-laden adolescence. You'll also join me in Phoenix, AZ in 2018, as I run my 'fentoxy' business and deal with the IV drug addictions that replaced the Adderall and oxy of my youth. This will give you an intimate look at the opioid monstrosity in its' current form, as oxy has been replaced by fentanyl and crooked doctors have been replaced by a new generation of highly intelligent, internet-saavy, rehab-addicted, drug-dealing kids that just can't get straight - no matter how hard we pray.
I'm desperate to help people understand why the opioid epidemic is only getting worse. Most people have outdated and stereotypical ideas when it comes to the experiences of addiction and recovery. It's time that people find out the truth. I might have survived the criminal justice system and the revolving-door treatment centers that are replacing it, but many did not, and many more will die if nothing changes.
Proceeds from these books will go towards bringing yoga therapy to those suffering from addictive disorders.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Every life has trials. I just never thought mine would lead me to be the victim of an actual trial—a murder trial. Almost two years after that gun sounded, there we were hearing every detail of how he died over, and over, and over again. I had waited so long for the trial to be the pinnacle of my healing. I just knew deep down it would be the moment of peace I had longed for—but as that judge stood to announce the verdict, the emotions that followed were not any I could have ever planned. Truth is . . . nobody ever plans to be a victim.

Probing into a trial that deliberated on Betty's promiscuity, her alcoholism, and her adulterous affair with a black man rather than any physical evidence against her, critically acclaimed journalist Jim Schutze reveals how sex, politics, and corruption could possibly have led to a scandalous miscarriage of justice that kept the real killer from facing full penalty for his cold-blooded deed. A fascinating true crime account, By Two and Two is a must-listen investigation into the harrowing details of a sensational murder case.

Every life has trials. I just never thought mine would lead me to be the victim of an actual trial—a murder trial. Almost two years after that gun sounded, there we were hearing every detail of how he died over, and over, and over again. I had waited so long for the trial to be the pinnacle of my healing. I just knew deep down it would be the moment of peace I had longed for—but as that judge stood to announce the verdict, the emotions that followed were not any I could have ever planned. Truth is . . . nobody ever plans to be a victim.

GROUNDBREAKING! Two elderly, wealthy spinster sisters in Llano, Texas, die within a day of each other, and it is chalked up to an unfortunate coincidence and old age. After all, they were seventy-five and eighty-three years old, respectively. One month later, an elderly man in San Angelo, Texas, 130 miles from Llano passes away, and it is attributed to old age and poor health. But there would prove to be a couple of common denominators, Tim Scoggin and poison. This case proved to be ground-breaking in legal annals in the use of atomic testing of cremated ashes along with testing of hair for...

A new kind of fear swept over Southern California in the summer of 1985, shattering the otherwise idylic lifestyle of the millions who called the sprawling metropolis home.

Once inside, he enacted a level of violence on his victims only seen in horror movies. The attacks continued throughout the summer, escalating as temperatures swelled. Law-abiding citizens became prisoners in their own homes, locking themselves in despite the oppressive heat ...

In September of 2019, Luis Alberto Quiñonez—known as Sito— was shot to death as he sat in his car in the Mission District of San Francisco. He was nineteen. His killer, Julius Williams, was seventeen. It was the second time the teens had encountered one another. The first, five years before, also ended in tragedy, when Julius watched as his brother was stabbed to death by an acquaintance of Sito’s. The two murders merited a few local news stories, and then the rest of the world moved on. But for the families of the slain teenagers, it was impossible to move on.

In August of 2018, in a wealthy Denver suburb, a shocked and horrified nation learned that Christopher Lee Watts had murdered his pregnant wife, their two little girls and their unborn son.
