Sioux City Reads

The 2025 Sioux City Reads book nominee Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World's Most Notorious Diaries is a true story of contagious deception. It stretches from Hollywood to Quantico, and passes through a tiny patch of Utah nicknamed "the fraud capital of America." It's the story of a doomed romance and a vengeful celebrity. Of a lazy press and a public mob. Of two suicidal teenagers, and their exploitation by a literary vampire. 

In the 2025 Sioux City Reads book nominee Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers, former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi follows the gruesome pattern of unsolved murders along American roadways.

In the 2025 Sioux City Reads book nominee Among the Bros: a Fraternity Crime Story author Max Marshall had hoped to investigate a small-time fraternity Xanax trafficking ring when he arrived on the campus of the College of Charleston in 2018. Instead, he found a homicide, several student deaths, and millions of dollars circulating around the Deep South.
