| By (author): Lisa Wojna |
| ISBN10-13: 1926695135 : 9781926695136 |
| Wanted posters featuring the mug shots of leering criminals trying to stay one step ahead of the law have been a common sight on post office and police station walls. Canada's Most Wanted brings you stories of Canada's most notorious fugitives and the dogged law enforcement officers sworn to bring them to justice: * Kevin Louis Vermett, one of Canada's most wanted fugitives, is the main suspect in the murder of three young men in 1997 after a petty disagreement turned deadly; before the police closed in, he disappeared into the wilderness near Kitimat, BC * James Charles Kopp, an anti-abortionist madman with murder on his mind, is wanted for the 1995 attack on Dr. Hugh Short, who was shot by a sniper through a window of his Ontario home * Machine Gun Molly, a petite woman with a big appetite for money, was the leader of a gang behind a string of bank robberies in Montréal during Expo '67 * The Mad Trapper of Rat River, a recluse wanted for the murder of RCMP Constable Edgar Millen, was finally brought to bay after a wild manhunt through the Canadian Arctic * Ronald Jeffrey Bax is the only suspect in the 1992 slaying of Krystal Senyk, shot at close range by someone lying in wait outside her Carcross, Yukon home; Bax disappeared after the murder never to be seen again. |

| Title: Canadian Con Artists |
| By (author): Lisa Wojna |
| ISBN10-13: 1926695062 : 9781926695068 |
| William ''Canada Bill'' Jones once proclaimed that it was ''immoral to let a sucker keep his money.'' As a result, confidence men and women looking to make a quick buck find it easy to exploit the trusting and compassionate Canadian nature. Many have misrepresented, misguided and lied their way through some of the most convincing schemes ever pulled in Canada: * In 2002, bank manager Nick Lysyk helped himself to $16 million in fake loans from the Bank of Montreal, and by the time he was arrested, he had amassed 17 homes and 40 vehicles * Richard Minard, the ''Con man for Christ,'' claimed to be an ordained minister, and he convinced his trusting clients to invest money in time share condos that he did not own * Christophe Rocancourt was such a charismatic man that he managed to con many rich and powerful Hamptonites into believing he was really Christopher Rockefeller * Ferdinand Waldo Demara, ''The Great Imposter,'' conducted medical procedures while serving in the Canadian Navy, including major chest surgery, even though he wasn't actually a surgeon. * And more. |

| By (author): Dawn Sutherland |
| ISBN10-13: 1926695259 : 9781926695259 |
| Author Dawn Sutherland has gathered together ghost stories from across the country, proving that crimes of the heart leave the deepest wounds. Tragic spirits of those who either died for love or were betrayed in the worst way possible by loved ones, often linger after death, heartbroken and unable to find peace in the afterlife: â ¢ In many locations of Ontarioâ s Muskoka region, the image of a woman has been seen, dripping wet and begging for the answer to one question: Why? â ¢ Residents of Saint John, New Brunswick, believe the ghost of Maggie Vail and her baby girl, Ella May, are responsible for the greenish glow that rises from the grave of their killer in the cityâ s Fernhill Cemetery â ¢ More than a century later, people still see the spirit of a caretakerâ s wife who was hacked to death by her husband and charred in the furnace of a building in Edmonton, Alberta â ¢ The ghost of Mary Gallagher, killed by her best friend in a fit of jealous rage over a man, continues to make its appearance every seven years in Montreal â ¢ Two lovers who chose to die together rather than be parted in life still haunt the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba â ¢ The ghost of renowned architect Francis Rattenbury still wanders the halls of his most famous buildings in Victoria, British Columbia, wondering how his life went so wrong as to be ended so cruelly by his wifeâ s lover. |

| Canadian women are not immune from violent behaviour. Some have done the unthinkable and murdered their spouses, their lovers, their children or complete strangers.
