The men in their family, fishermen, were in Portsmouth, NH that evening, awaiting a shipment of bait. A desperate man, who overheard this information, decided to row to Smuttynose Island on a bitter cold night intent on robbery. What followed was the brutal killings of two women and the daring escape of a third who survived to testify. Her exciting story is documented in this fast moving and true account

When a fateful flight to Brasilia crashes in the Amazon, there is only one man alive among the wreckage. Terrence Connery, successful hedge fund owner, awakens to intermittent monkey chatter and the calls of exotic birds in a jungle so thick that sunlight barely penetrates. He senses his remoteness but is unaware of just how disconnected he is from civilization; he is in a last refuge for near extinct jungle tribes. Rescue crews he counted on to save him are unable to locate the downed craft. The delay could negate the million to one odds he already won when he survived the crash. He is about to be found by very hostile people when he takes the only option left.
