Biographies & Memoirs

HAINES, Max

True Crime

Penguin Canada (APB)

Unnatural Causes

In this, his 19th book, Max Haines describes, in his inimitable style, sixty-five new cases of murder and mayhem from eight different countries: Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, New Zealand, the United States and Wales. You’ll meet the notorious George Joseph Smith, an Englishman known as “Brides in the Bath Smith” because of his penchant for murdering his wives in the bath. Read the details behind the recent case of Karla Faye Tucker, who killed two people with a pickaxe then became a born-again Christian while on death row, before she was executed in 1998.

This volume brings together Max Haines's Celebrity Murders and Other Nefarious Deeds, Murders Strange But True, and Murder Most Foul: Crimes from Canada and Around the World. 
From Martin Luther King to Nicole Brown Simpson, from Marilyn Monroe to Errol Flynn, from John F. Kennedy to Charlie Chaplin: the most celebrated personalities in the annals of true crime are featured in the first part of this collection. In the second part, Haines offers a fascinating compendium of some of the strangest murderers imaginable: killers who boil their victims, strangle them with upholstery cord, or slash their chests with a cross. In the third part, originally published as Murder Most Foul, Haines showcases more than fifty murderers from eleven countries. Jerry Rosenberg earned a law degree while serving a forty-year sentence and went on to enjoy a lively practice representing other prisoners. Armed robbery convict Norman “Red” Ryan so reformed himself that Canadian parole laws were changed to enable his early release. These are among the many weird and wacky criminal cases included in this volume. The Collected Works of Max Haines, Volume 5, is a testament to the author's skill at giving new life to old crimes and a reminder that truth is always stranger than fiction.

05 The Collected Works of Max Haines

The latest volume in this popular series brings together 3 more of Max’s bestselling crime compendiums: Canadian Crimes, Unnatural Causes, and Instruments of Murder. In these books the iconic master of murder unravels the grisly crimes of Paul Bernardo, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Kaczynski, and many others with his trademark wit and a wicked sense of humour, showing exactly why the Toronto Star calls him “the master of true crime tales” and “our most civilized crime writer.”

The Collected Works of Max Haines, Vol. 6

Max Haines, the popular syndicated columnist and best-selling author of three successful volumes in the True Crime Stories series, is back with 54 brand new accounts of blood-curdling, spine-tingling, downright despicable deeds. Within these pages lie tales of real life kidnapping, torture, rape and murder - including some acts so horrendous you'll fine yourself sleeping with one eye open. There may be no rational explanation for the beastly behaviour chronicled within these pages, but one thing's for sure: every single story Max tells is 100% true. So, get ready to join Max on another journey through the annals of crime: put out the cat, turn down the lights and curl up with a good crook.

Canadian Crimes

Penguin Group Canada

In this compendium of weird and wacky criminal cases, Canada’s most popular crime columnist brings us more than fifty murders from eleven countries around the world. 
Meet Jerry Rosenberg, America’s foremost jailhouse lawyer. While in prison for the murder of two New York police officers, he earned a law degree. He now has a lively practice representing other prisoners. Meet Norman “Red” Ryan, convicted of armed bank robbery but who was so reformed after serving a portion of his sentence that they changed Canadian law so he could be released early—only to have his life come to an ironic end when he was gunned down in an armed robbery. Meet Herbert McAuliffe, whose counterfeiting scheme in Canadian coins came to an abrupt end with his realization that it was costing more to produce the coins than he was making in profits. Turning to bank robbery, his string of bad luck continued. This is another surefire collection from Canada’s master of true crime!
