Lewis L. Maltby The Vanishing Constitution As president of the National Workrights Institute, an offshoot of the ACLU, and nationally recognized expert in workplace rights, Lewis Maltby knows better than anyone how companies are impinging on our constitutional rights and the impact this is having on individual employees. In The Vanishing Constitution he investigates how the restrictions of our constitutional rights is impacting the workplace. While the government needs evidence of a crime to tap phones or e-mail, your employer simply needs to have you on staff. But while we're all aware of possible phone and e-mail taps in the office, few know how far this lack of rights extends. Some employers are installing pocket-sized cameras in locker rooms and bathrooms, while others are tapping into home computers and requiring genetic testing. All of this is legal.

A true-crime journalist for the National Enquirer, Peter delves into the worlds of five of the country's most horrific murderers: Gary Heidnik, John Weber, Albert Fentress, Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, and Marc Sappington.

Peter will detail their crimes and shed light on how these terrible criminals were finally brought to justice. Murder at Holy Cross. On March 25, 2001, the body of a Catholic nun—stabbed 92 times—was discovered at South Florida's Holy Cross Academy. Police captured her killer—a young apprentice monk. But the deeper the investigation got, the more sordid and disturbing the story became. Peter Davidson captures the case in vivid detail. Published by Berkley Publishing |

Dave Hall and Tym Burkey with Katherine Ramsland Into the Devil's Den. When the FBI needed an informant to infiltrate the Aryan Nations, Agent Tym Burkey sought someone he could trust who would also have credibility with the paranoid militants. Circumstances brought him to Dave Hall, a tattooed, 350-pound, six-foot-four former biker, who agreed to take the job. As Hall penetrated the dangerous network of men intent on violence, he looked to Burkey to watch his back, while Burkey prayed that Hall was a man of integrity. How each overcame his doubts and developed faith that they could move forward as a team provides an angle that even Donnie Brasco's daring infiltration cannot match.
