The Snow Killings
Over 13 months in 1976-1977, four children were abducted in the Detroit suburbs, each of them held for days before their still-warm bodies were dumped in the snow near public roadsides. The Oakland County Child Murders spawned panic across southeast Michigan, triggering the most extensive manhunt in U.S. history. Yet after less than two years, the task force created to find the killer was shut down without naming a suspect. The case "went cold" for more than 30 years, until a chance discovery by one victim's family pointed to the son of a wealthy General Motors executive: Christopher Brian Busch, a convicted pedophile, was freed weeks before the fourth child disappeared. Veteran Detroit News reporter Marney Rich Keenan takes the reader inside the investigation of the still-unsolved murders--seen through the eyes of the lead detective in the case and the family who cracked it open--revealing evidence of a decades-long coverup of malfeasance and obstruction that denied justice for the victims.
Grey Eyes
Winner of the 2015 Burt Award for First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Literature! In a world without time and steeped in ceremony and magic, walks a chosen few who hold an ancient power: the Grey Eyes. True stewards of the land, the Grey Eyes use their magic to maintain harmony and keep evil at bay. With only one elderly Grey-Eye left in the village of the Nehiyawak, the birth of a new Grey-Eyed boy promises a renewed line of defence against their only foe: the menacing Red-Eyes, whose name is rarely spoken but whose presence is ever felt. While the birth of the Grey-Eyed boy offers the clan much-needed protection, it also initiates a struggle for power that threatens to rip the clan apart, leaving them defenceless against the their sworn ememy. The responsibility of restoring balance and harmony, the only way to keep the Nehiyawak safe, is thrust upon a boy’s slender shoulders. What powers will he have, and can he protect the clan from the evil of the Red Eyes?

The Kill Jar
In this cold case murder investigation from “a powerful, confident voice in the new true crime memoir genre” (James Renner, author of True Crime Addict), one of America’s most notorious sprees is cracked open. With a foreword by Catherine Broad, sister of victim Timothy King, this is a deftly crafted true story set amid the decaying sprawl of Detroit. Four children were abducted and murdered outside of Detroit during the winters of 1976 and 1977, their bodies eventually dumped in snow banks around the city. J. Reuben Appelman was only six years old when the murders began and even evaded an abduction attempt during that same period, fueling a lifelong obsession with what became known as...
Summary of Marney Rich Keenan's The Snow Killings
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1976, a student at Roseville High School, Cynthia Cadieux, was murdered. Her mother, Wanda Nelem, said she and her stepfather did not expect her home that Thursday night, as they thought she was going to stay with her friend and attend school with her in the morning. #2 On February 15, 1976, Mark Douglas Stebbins, 12, disappeared while walking home from the American Legion Hall in Ferndale, a working-class neighborhood just south of Birmingham and Franklin. His mother, Ruth, reported him missing. #3 The autopsy showed that Mark had been suffocated. His wrists and legs bore discoloration and marks indicating he had been bound. There were two small, crusted lacerations on his left rear scalp and blood stains had been found on the hooded portion of his jacket. #4 On August 7, 1976, the body of 14-year-old Jane Louise Allan was found floating in the Great Miami River in Miamisburg, Ohio. Her hands had been tied behind her back with shreds of a t-shirt. The Ohio coroner’s office believed she had been dead before she was tossed in the river, possibly from carbon monoxide poisoning.
