Lindsay is joined by Nora Koeppel, the daughter of author Adolf J. Koeppel to discuss his book, “The Lark's Call,” the gripping crime novel based on the Hinterkaifeck murders.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses incest.

Underneath this crucifix, a peasant family of five and their maid lie in a family grave. All of them had their skulls smashed in. The extremely brutal murderer did not even stop at Josef, who was only two and a half years old. He killed the boy with a single blow through the roof of the pram. The criminal police assumed a sixfold robbery-murder, although all the money was left behind. The neighbours of the murdered family, however, suspected a man from their village of having committed the heinous act. He wanted to marry the beautiful farmer's daughter, but her father did not allow it. Did that man kill the whole family out of revenge, or did someone else have a dirty hand in it? Someone who was so close to the murdered family that no one paid any attention to him...

Lindsay is joined by author Samuel Marquis to discuss his book, “Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal,” which will be released on May 13, 2025, by Diversion Books.

Captain Kidd has captivated imaginations for over 300 years and inspired many stories about pirates, but was he a criminal? Just how many ships did he plunder, how many men did he force to walk the plank, and how many throats did he slit? Or is the truth more inconvenient, that he was a buccaneer’s worst nightmare, a revered pirate hunter turned fall guy for scheming politicians? 

In “Captain Kidd,” Marquis reveals the real story. Kidd was an English-American privateer and a leading New York husband and father, dubbed “trusty and well-beloved” by the King of England himself and described by historians as a “worthy, honest-hearted, steadfast, much-enduring sailor” who was the “victim of a deliberate travesty of justice.” With honors far more esteemed than the menacing Blackbeard or any other sea rover at the turn of the 17th century, how can Kidd be considered both a gentleman and pirate, both hero and villain?

The ninth-great-grandson of legendary privateer Captain William Kidd, Samuel Marquis, M.S., P.G., is a professional hydrogeologist, expert witness, and bestselling, award-winning author of 12 American nonfiction-history, historical fiction, and suspense books, covering primarily the period from colonial America through WWII. His American history and historical fiction books have been #1 Denver Post and Amazon bestsellers, and have received multiple national book awards in both fiction and nonfiction categories, including the Kirkus Reviews and Foreword Reviews Book of the Year, American Book Fest and USA Best Book, Readers’ Favorite, and the Colorado Book Awards. His historical titles have also garnered glowing reviews from #1 bestseller James Patterson, maritime historians, U.S. military veterans, Kirkus Reviews, and Foreword Reviews (5 Stars). His pirate book, “Blackbeard: The Birth of America,” has been an Amazon #1 Bestseller in U.S. Colonial Period History. The Marquis lives with his wife in Louisville, Colorado, where they raised their three children.
