109] – "Crimes of Passion," the first volume of the Mid-Atlantic Murder Mystery Series, is now published and available through www.Amazon.com and www.BN.com. This is a collection of true crime articles Krist Boardman wrote in the '80's and '90s for the Official Detective Group and Globe Publishing. My beat was Maryland, parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, District of Columbia, New Jersey and Delaware. These articles were done from original courthouse research and interviews with detectives and prosecutors.
"Crimes of Passion" focuses more on the impulsive crime, and frequently the resolution of each case depends on legal arguments and courtroom maneuvers. The cases also focus on police work, often superlatively done and under very trying conditions. For example, "When Hookers Fall Out..." is nearly an impossible case solved by the U.S. Park Police. The murder of Arlene Flowers in Prince George's County was a case that barely held together as investigators tried to solve the heartless murder of a13-year-old. Another case took three years to solve and involved a search along the Shenandoah River for the body and the recovery of a car submerged in the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. The protection of the public is the special role of the police and good police work throughout is highlighted.

"One is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
