Description
Bestselling author Jack Fitzgerald has collected twelve chapters of spellbinding crime stories. Read about a sensational Newfoundland political scandal with international connections, or a violent labour dispute that unites Newfoundlanders like no other public issue since WWII and ends in the killing of an RNC officer. Or follow a prison escape that ends in a hostage taking, shootout and the gunning down of an RCMP constable. These are just three of the shocking criminal tales that will intrigue, inform, and entertain readers of all ages.
