Product Description

Book Description

With Canadian Crimes, Max Haines brings us a collection of fifty crimes from right across Canada. There's Albert Guay of Quebec City, who blew up a plane to get rid of his wife, killing twenty-three other passengers as well; Wayne Ford of Toronto, who as a teenager killed his mother, put her into a box, and deposited her in Lake Couchiching (quite a drive!); Albert Johnson a.k.a. the Mad Trapper of Rat River, who eluded the Mounties for forty-eight days in a running battle along the Arctic Circle; Lenny Ede, who shipped his murder victim to Newfoundland (apparently a not-uncommon practice); Earl Nelson, the Winnipeg serial killer; Jane Stafford, who shot her abusive husband's head right off in Bangs Falls, Nova Scotia; Dale Nelson, who went on a killing spree in B.C.; and of course Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

This volume is classic Max Haines-fascinating and spine-tingling. You won't be able to put it down!
