Here are more remarkable true stories about Canadian crimes and criminals -- most of them tales that have been buried for years. The stories begin in colonial Newfoundland, with robbery and murder committed by the notorious Power Gang. As readers travel across the country and through time, they will meet the last two men to be hanged in Prince Edward Island, smugglers who made lake Champlain a battleground, a counterfeiter whose bills were so good they fooled even bank managers, and teenage girls who committed murder in their escape from jail. They will meet the bandits who plundered banks and trains in Eastern Canada and the West, and even the United States. Among them were Same Behan, a robber whose harrowing testimony about the brutal conditions in the Kingston Penittentiary may have brought about his untimely death in \"The Hole\"; and John \"Red\" Hamilton, the Canadian-born member of the legendary Dillinger gang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Butts is the author of several historical non-fiction books, including \u003ci\u003eSOS: Stories of Survival\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTrue Canadian Unsolved Mysteries.\u003c\/i\u003e He is the author of \u003ci\u003eIdioms for Aliens\u003c\/i\u003e, a humourous look at English grammar.
