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...
