The Torreon Cabin Murders in December of 1995 was one of the most heinous cases in the history of the state of New Mexico. A young man and his live-in girl friend were murdered execution style in a cabin in Cibola National Forest near a small town called Torreon. Her two young sons were then locked in the cabin to die of starvation and dehydration by the murderer. Later, the young man’s father discovered the bodies and New Mexico State Police and a gang detective from the Albuquerque Police Department were assigned to investigate the four deaths. No crime scene team was sent to the cabin to look for evidence, according to the author. Investigators came up with prime suspects and with the guidance of the District Attorney’s office took numerous statements from two of them until they were able to obtain what appeared to some to be false confessions. Three young men were eventually charged with the death penalty. But was the real killer in the Torreon cabin murders released on the public to continue his crimes? Let the reader decide.

Like other young dreamers, Katie and Maurice Cloughley bought a sailboat and set off around the world. They met while taking sailing lessons in the west of England and after getting married, they worked for six years in northern Canada, earning the money for their ideal boat. When they found her, a lovely little Australian-built ketch, they renamed her Nanook of the North, planned for a five year voyage, and sailed away. A World to the West is the story of that first circumnavigation, with all its excitment and terror, adventure and fun, told by a particularly gifted writer. This first round-the-world trip laid the foundation for Katie and Maurice's life of astonishing contrasts. They alternated their years of sailing tropical oceans with years of working in isolated communities in the Arctic, and their northern tales are told in Maurice's beautifully illustrated book, The Spell of the Midnight Sun. The Cloughleys now live perminently aboard Nanook. Maurice is working on his art-mainly wood-block prints and pen-and-ink drawings, like those that have been used in his books-and writing about their two-year sailing voyage down the Pacific coast of North America, from the Aleutian Isalnds to the Tierra del Fuego.
