"Don Winslow: From Bestselling Crime Novels to Political Activism"

Don Winslow, the prolific crime novelist known for best sellers and screen adaptations, has announced that "City in Ruins" will be his last novel as he plans to retire from publishing to focus on political activism. Growing up amidst New England gang wars and working as a private investigator in New York City, Winslow's experiences have influenced his gritty crime fiction. Alongside screenwriter Shane Salerno, he has produced combative videos and social media posts criticizing former President Donald Trump, aiming to reach a wider audience and respond more quickly to current events than novels allow.

Anne Perry, Teen Murderer Turned Crime Writer, Passes Away at 84

Anne Perry, a prolific British crime novelist who served five years in prison for a murder she helped commit as a teenager, has died in Los Angeles at the age of 84. Perry, who sold more than 26 million books worldwide, had already become well established as a novelist when her sinister past was exposed in 1994, just before the release of Peter Jackson’s film “Heavenly Creatures.” The movie, based on a chilling matricide in New Zealand some four decades earlier in which a Christchurch woman was bludgeoned to death in a park by her daughter and Perry, then 15 years old and known as Juliet Hulme, rekindled media interest in the case.
