Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Praise for Canada's Most Overrated Bank Robber "Standing at the foot of the scantling . . . was a thick, freckle-faced man whose prison cap could not hide his flaming head. It was 'Red' Ryan." --Ernest Hemingway "A malicious little bastard." --Ryan's childhood friend "Norman Ryan is a vicious, dangerous and resourceful thief." --Toronto police chief S. J. Dickson "Ryan is well liked in Kingston prison. A fine, handsome, clean-cut man, he stands out as a giant among the inmates." --Athol Gow, Toronto Star "We narrowly escaped meeting him. If we had, we fear we might, like nearly everybody else, have succumbed to his fatal charm." --J. V. MCAREE, The Globe and Mail "I'm glad he is dead." --Senator H. A. Mullins Dubbed "the Jesse James of Canada," Norman "Red" Ryan was infamous in the 1920s and '30s until he was gunned down in an attempted robbery in Sarnia, Ontario. Ernest Hemingway wrote about Ryan's escape from Kingston Penitentiary for the Toronto Star, Morley Callaghan based a novel on him, and stories of Ryan and his daring crimes filled newspapers and airwaves. One of the first Canadians to be granted parole, he was held up by Prime Minister R. B. Bennett as a model of rehabilitation and became a regular guest at Toronto police picnics. All the while, however, Ryan continued a crime spree on the side. With skepticism, humour and an often scathing examination of his own profession, journalist Jim Brown tells the incredible story of "Red" Ryan, a larger-than-life criminal whose fame and legend were much encouraged by the media, leading to deadly results.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Utilizing the tools of forensic science and Christian theological ethics, this book resituates prominent criminal cases within their social and forensic contexts.

Explores the Western phenomena of true crime and its impact on the Christian moral imagination. This project sits in direct conversation with the following three bodies of literature: 1) theological and moral engagement of criminal justice, 2) theological engagement of popular media, and 3) forensic science in the media.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. On a stormy November evening in 1885, John Sharpless answered a knock on his door. Less than an hour later, he was found dead in his barn from a blow to the back of the head; his bloodstained hat lay next to him on the ground. A $3,000 reward for the killer sparked an overzealous bounty hunt across southeastern Pennsylvania, and numerous innocent men were arrested. Samuel Johnson--a local African American man with a criminal record--was charged. Despite the Widow Sharpless's insistence that Johnson was not the man who had come to their door, he was tried and sentenced to hang. Author Stephanie Hoover offers an in-depth investigation of the crime. From the events of that night and the mishandling of the investigation by a corrupt police force to the trial and conviction of Johnson and the efforts of the Quaker community to appeal the sentence, Hoover profiles a miscarriage of justice in Delaware County.…
