Halfmoon Bay BC: Caitlin Press Inc, 2010. First Edition. Softcover. ISBN: 1894759486. Signed by Author; Card covers show very light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book, inscribed by the author on half-title page.; 7.9 X 5.5 X 2.2 inches; 230 pages; "On a foggy evening in November 1905, 48-year-old Thomas Jackson returned to his home on Melville Street in Vancouver after nine months of prospecting north of the Skeena. Jackson was happy because he had made an important gold strike. Four days later he was dead from strychnine poisoning. What followed was a series of hearings and trials in the city's courtrooms with fledgling lawyers trying to make their names in combat with the celebrated defence counsel Joseph Martin, KC. At the same time the newspapers, which were locked in a deadly circulation war, tried desperately to trump each other with juicy bits of information, all of it splashed on their front pages week after week. In the end the two women served time in the BC Penitentiary, but no one was ever tried for the murder of Thomas Jackson.". Very Good+ .
