Produktbeschreibung
She was a beloved teacher. A trusted guardian. A monster hiding in plain sight. From 1988 to 2009, Emily Cannister; kindergarten teacher, community favorite, and secret killer. Kidnapped and murdered fifteen children. To her neighbors, she was kind and nurturing. Behind closed doors, she was consumed by obsession, delusion, and a desperate longing for the children she could never have. In 2012, during her third trial, Emily confessed. Yet her admission raised more questions than it answered. Now, in a chilling 2014 prison interview, investigator Cole King (The Killer Across the Street) comes face-to-face with one of the most horrifying child killers in modern history. Emily details how her victims died, where their bodies were hidden, and why she believed they had to be silenced. But as she speaks, truth and manipulation blur and Cole must untangle whether Emily's words are confession...or control. The Cannister Trials is a raw, unsettling descent into the mind of a woman who destroyed countless lives in pursuit of a delusional dream. Dark, emotional, and unflinching, this true-crime-inspired thriller dares to ask: How does someone become a killer, and why do they need you to understand?
Autorenporträt
Hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Makitia Thompson is a storyteller who dives headfirst into the human experience, examining the fragile line between triumph and tragedy, the cost of fame, the ache of abandonment, and the shadowed corners of desire. For over a decade, she has crafted fictional autobiographies and interview-style narratives that peel back the polished surfaces of her characters, revealing the truths they'd rather keep buried. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson has built a creative hub dedicated to bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. Her company blends literature, visual art, and immersive world-building to challenge audiences to confront uncomfortable realities and discover self-reflection through honesty. Her oil and acrylic paintings often echo the emotional weight of her books, creating a visual bridge between her art forms. Starting her writing journey at just 11 years old, Thompson has spent years refining her craft, always circling back to one question: How do we rise above our past to become who we were meant to be?
