1) If You Find Me Dead: The Kidnapping of Abby Drover
October 2024 — Previously released as RESURRECTION, this amazing and breathtaking true crime epic now has a chilling new title, reflecting Abby's own words. Available in Kindle, Paperback & Hardcover on Amazon, as well as the updated audio book featuring cameos by Abby and her kidnapper on Audible and iTunes.
Abby Drover disappeared without a trace on her way to school. Trapped for six months in an underground cell, she bravely hid a note identifying her kidnapper after his ongoing threats to murder her. The author was a Vancouver newspaper reporter who covered her dramatic rescue — meeting with Abby years later to document her story of survival — just as her kidnapper was about to walk the streets again.

4) FATAL PRESCRIPTION: A Doctor without Remorse
(Updated in Kindle, Paperback and Hardcover)
An out of control family doctor orders the murder of a teenage patient to stop her testifying against him, while the medical board fails to stop him — despite ongoing allegations of misconduct.
Originally featured on the Leeza Gibbons Show and in media around the world, both Fatal Prescription and the Abby Drover story will have strong appeal to parents and the Me Too movement. Each book in very different ways is about young women finally coming forward to confront abusive men, to testify against them and to obtain justice.

About the author:
John Griffiths was born in England, and became a cub reporter at the age of 16. He emigrated to Canada in 1966 and worked for the next 10 years at Vancouver's morning newspaper The Province.
"It's now a tabloid, but it was a broadsheet back then with a large editorial staff devoted to covering late breaking stories. It was all about coming out with the exclusive story and sparing few expenses to beat the competition," said Griffiths. "How times have changed!"
He covered general news, politics, crime, and for two years was City Hall Reporter in Vancouver. He was married to former Province columnist Kathy Tait. He has edited several books for other authors and has now released two unique new travel books that will be the ideal gift for anyone who loves ocean cruising.
