SYNOPSIS: Max Haines is back! From the popular syndicated columnist and best-selling author of True Crime Stories II, sixty more stories of larcenous deeds, baffling murders and strange twists of fate. Join Max on the trail of Nova Scotia's John Paris, a man tried for the same murder four times, of Ted Bundy, America's most shocking serial killer, and of Bruce Curtis, who went visiting in New Jersey and ended up on trial for murder. And, as Max says, "There's more. So, put out the cat, turn down the lights, and get ready to curl up with a good crook." Max Haines was born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. True Crime Stories, Book III is his eleventh book, all but one being devoted to non-fiction crime. His earlier work, The Collected Works of Max Haines, is considered one of the finest collections of non-fiction crime stories ever produced in Canada. It has recently been reissued under the title Crime Flashback: The Collected Works of Max Haines. Crime Flashback is the apt title of Mr. Haines' newspaper column, which appears twice weekly in the Toronto Sun. The column is syndicated across Canada, appearing in newspapers from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Crime Flashback has been translated into French and Chinese. Max Haines Crime Flashback, a television series based on Max's column, will be syndicated internationally. A member of Crime Writers of Canada, Mr. Haines resides in Etobicoke, Ont.

Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and even internally, the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation presentation for a book of it's 20 year-old age. It is only the minimal exterior faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading,especially for the dw/dj. Despite that,it really is an exceptional copy for its cleanliness and brightness. The North Pole was a mystery in the mid-19th century, many explorers who ventured into its wastelands never returned. After another failed expedition in 1845, even more concerted efforts were made to reach the Northernmost point of the globe. Fleming relays these stories. Elisha Kane was a poor leader of his crew, Charles Hall died of a stroke after his men refused to obey his orders. Later, the obsessive Robert Peary even took his pregant wife with him in order to set the record for the most northerly birth in history. Fleming gives an insight into the disasters and triumphs of these explorations.
