Blog post“A roadside strangler confounds California detectives in this tense and gritty true-crime account from Bruce Henderson ( #1 New York Times bestseller And the Sea Will Tell). With novelistic urgency, Henderson tells two equally chilling stories in Trace Evidence: The Hunt for the I-5 Serial Killer: how a handful of detectives and a trace-evidence expert nabbed the killer and how a police detective’s brother and ‘somebody’s husband’ became that killer.” Publishers Weekly

Blog postFrom John Riise in Lake Isabella, California: “Just read your book DOWN TO THE SEA and was compelled to scribble a few lines. My father was in Halsey’s Typhoon. He was aboard the light carrier Monterey. His recollection is just what you noted: planes breaking loose from their lashings and sliding all over into other […]

Blog postDuring this holiday that has come to signify the beginning of summer celebrated with days off from work, a famous road race and backyard barbecues, let us remember the real meaning of Memorial Day: to honor those Americans who have paid the ultimate price in the defense of our freedom. In my own family, we honor my maternal uncle, Bob Silva of Alameda, Calif. A P-51 Mustang pilot, 1st Lt. Robert G. Silva, U.S. Army Air Corps, of the 354th Fighter Group known as the “Pioneer Mustangs,” was los

Blog postOn February 1, 1966, Navy pilot Dieter Dengler, my friend and shipmate, was shot down over Laos. Pictured here, his A-1 Skyraider, call sign Electron 504, on the flight deck of our carrier, USS Ranger, preparing for catapult launch.

Blog postDay 9: In their travels that day, Dieter and Duane found the jungle too dense to get through and the streams so clouded from all the rain that they couldn’t see the bottom and kept tripping. They had to walk along the banks, stretches of which were infested with leeches. Afterward, they took turns getting the slimy leeches off each other’s body. Dieter found leeches on Duane’s back so filled with blood that they had turned red, and there were more in his scalp and beard. They decided to get r

Blog postDay 8: On their journey the next day, they went through forests of vines and over steep rocky overhangs. Dieter was in the lead when he saw something move in front of them. About five feet away was a ferocious-looking lizard or water dragon three to four feet long. Its head was raised, and water dripped from its jaws.

Blog postDay 6: In the morning, Dieter and Duane awoke sore, sick and dispirited. Still retracing their steps, they were not paying much attention to where they were going; as a result, Duane nearly walked into three bright-coral bamboo vipers hanging from a bamboo cluster right in front of his face. The venomous snakes, considered among […]

Blog postJuly 4, 1966
Day 5: As the POWs ascended up the mountainous divide, they entered an inhospitable world of no sun or sky visible through the green ceiling, and walls of trees and vines blocking their way. After a few hours they had advanced only 300 feet in pouring rain. They could see they would have to climb another 3,000 feet through the dense vegetation to get over the pass. They were both panting, struggling for breath. “Duane, it’s no good,” Dieter said. “Let’s go back. Keep lookin
