With only months to live because of terminal lung cancer, Marcus Gostin is ready to confess his secret to the entire world. He is the person responsible for the frightening and unsolved disappearances of local women - known informally as the "Lake Tahoe Ten" - during the past two decades. As the owner of a successful and popular Lake Tahoe resort, he was able to hide in plain sight while living his life as a patient and proficient serial killer. Proud of what he had done and wanting his name to live on in immortality, he decides to document in meticulous and graphic detail how he hunted, kidnapped, and brutally slaughtered each of the Tahoe Ten" in a journal with the hope that it would be published after his death. But it wasn't over. Nearing the conclusion of his literary masterpiece, he crosses paths with a young man and instantly senses an intangible, but very real connection with him. He knows the kid is a killer in the making, and he sees the opportunity to take him under his wing. Motivated by events in his own life as well as material he has viewed on the dark web, the young man is interested in learning more. Class is in session, and Marcus thoroughly teaches him the art of kidnapping a woman and getting away with it, along with the psychology of actually taking a human life. A hands-on tutorial at the expense of a woman who broke the student's heart will be the final lesson, and Marcus' last kill before his apprentice is ready to continue the journal and carry on his legacy. Will the student pass his final exam? The Tahoe Ten Killings by former NYPD "Cannibal Cop" Gil Valle (A Gathering of Evil, The Social Catalogue of #Prey) strikes with unnerving realism so psychologically tormenting, it may be seen by some as a "how to" manual. It is not for the faint of heart.

The Social Catalogue Of #Prey is a deep dive into the sinister hi-tech white slave trade where unsuspecting young females are stalked on social media, then stalked in real life and subsequently abducted by snatch squads, chained in basements and sold online to highest bidders to be tortured or even killed--all by way of live-feed video for the sadistic pleasures of other paying customers on the world-wide Dark Web. In the Age of Social Media, many users feel compelled to post routine details of their lives on FaceBook, Instagram and other such sites. They post selfies, post pics of the plates of food they're about to devour, they tell you where they're going, where they've been, and countless other humdrum details of their day-to-day lives. Some live their lives on social media, unmindful of the dangers lurking at its darkest edges, never even suspecting that they might be making themselves easy targets for deadly predators-especially young attractive women. NYPD's "Cannibal Cop" Gil Valle and co-author Bridget Lee take you inside this shadowy online world and show you how women may be cataloged and auctioned off by the sickest of perverts who ply their trade buying and selling innocent females to be tormented, slaughtered, and sometimes even cooked and eaten. This brutally realistic novel may change the way you use social media. The chilling, stand-alone sequel to Gil Valle's A Gathering Of Evil

"When, if ever, does a thought cross the line and become a crime?" RAW DEAL: The True Story of the NYPD’s “Cannibal Cop” is the memoir of Gil Valle, written with co-author Brian Whitney. It is part the controversial saga of a man who was imprisoned for “thought crimes,” and a look into an online world of dark sexuality and violence that most people don’t know exists, except maybe in their nightmares. In 2012, Valle’s wife thought her husband was having an affair because he was spending so much time on the internet, so she decided to sneak a peek at what he was doing. What she saw horrified her. Her husband, she believed, was making plans with others to abduct, torture and ...eat women, including her. He was subsequently arrested at gunpoint by FBI agents and tossed into solitary confinement. After Valle’s arrest, worldwide media coverage exploded in a frenzy of lurid tabloid headlines and stories about the “cannibal cop.” But here’s the fascinating part; there was no such plan in reality. Valle was simply engaging in his own private fantasies, albeit fantasies that are abhorrent and grotesque, with others in online chatrooms. But he was charged for his “thought crimes,” and faced life in prison. He was convicted by a jury and incarcerated for 21 months until the judge in his case, overturned the jury decision and he was eventually exonerated of all charges. RAW DEAL: The True Story of NYPD’s “Cannibal Cop” delves into the dark world of Valle’s violent sexual fantasies. But it is also the tale of his ordeal from his arrest and onslaught of media attention, the devastatingly embarrassing trial and relationship with his female attorney, his wrongful conviction and nearly two years of incarceration, his battle to be free, and his life since. RAW DEAL will certainly test the boundaries of any reader. But it also raises the question of when does thought become a crime? Valle’s story will challenge the reader’s beliefs about free speech, the right to privacy, and government’s role in watching over us.
