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

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness.

As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work.

Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
