BLUENOSE JUSTICE. True Tales of Mischief, Mayhem and Murder

Softcover. A collection of true stories drawn from Nova Scotia's legal past. It's an eclectic mix of the slightly offbeat and the deadly serious, where wise-cracking judges and crafty embezzlers rub shoulders with executioners and cold-blooded murderers. Glace Bay's A.B. MacGillivray dispensed more wit than wisdom from the bench. Angus Walters, skipper of the famous racing schooner 'Bluenose', gave the Americans a run for their money in and out of court. Jack Randell's defiant stand against the US Coast Guarcd sparked an international incident and almost cost the Lunenburg rumrunner his life. And James Forman, boss of one of Canada's oldest financial institutions, nearly broke the Bank of Nova Scotia with his creative accounting. The locale may be one province, but the rogue's gallery of characters inhabiting the pages of this book is sure to have wide appeal. Illus. 152pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F.
