20th Anniversary Special Edition
A mind-boggling blend of fraud, deception, trickery, lies, and fine prime rib, MAN OVERBOARD was nominated Best True Crime Book of the Year by the World Mystery Convention—and universally praised as the most laugh-filled book in the genre's history.

1982: Oregon businessman Phil Champagne died in a tragic boating accident off Lopez Island, Washington.  He was survived by one ex-wife, four adult children, an octogenarian mother, and two despondent brothers.  Phil didn't know he was dead until he read it in the newspaper.  All things considered, it took it rather well.

1992: Washington State restaurateur Harold Stegeman, famous for his thick, juicy steaks, is arrested by the United States Secret Service for printing counterfeit hundred dollar bills in a tiny Idaho shed. In addition to the bogus bills, Stegeman has a fraudulently obtained United States passport, a fabricated Cayman Islands driver's license, and Phil Champagne's fingerprints.

MAN OVERBOARD: The Counterfeit Resurrection of Phil Champagne by Burl Barer

True story of the lengths the government will go to keep their secrets hidden.

It was a dreary winter afternoon in Ayer, Massachusetts, a quintessential New England town, the type which is romanticized in Robert Frost's poems. But on January 30, 1979, a woman’s scream was heard piercing the northeast tempest wind.

In an unassuming apartment building on Washington Street, Elaine Tyree, a mother, wife, and US Army soldier, had her life brutally ripped from her. Her husband, William Tyree, a Special Forces soldier, was convicted of this heinous murder, which he has always vehemently denied.

Some elements of this case seem to be chilling echoes of the Jeffrey MacDonald case, made famous in the book and film “Fatal Vision.” A military doctor and US Army Captain, MacDonald was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters but always maintained his innocence. As in the MacDonald case, the case against William Tyree raises questions as to whether the government and military suppressed evidence that could prove his innocence.

The Tyree case sent a shockwave through the idyllic community of Ayer, the United States Army, and the judicial system of Massachusetts. This case provoked suspicions of judicial misconduct, government cover-up, clandestine Black Ops by the military, and various conspiracy theories ultimately implicating “Deep State” involvement.

The events that took place that fateful day, the subsequent courtroom showdown, and the ongoing legal battles raise provocative questions that continue to revolve around this case to this day. ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER by William Craig offers a penetrating look into the controversy that enshrouds one of the most complex criminal cases in US history.

In NO STONE UNTURNED, New York Times bestselling author Steve Jackson, the author of BOGEYMAN and MONSTER, vividly tells the story of this incredible group and recounts some of their most memorable early cases that separately would make great true crime books.
