Author Description

Meet Samuel Herbert Dougal, a lady-killer if there ever was one. And say hello to Henry More Smith, an escape artist who could upstage Harry Houdini. These are just two of the shady characters who take centre stage in Crime Wave, a rogues' gallery of pirates, swindlers, bank robbers and murderers who plied their trade in Nova Scotia (Pottersfield Press, 1991). Short-listed by the Crime Writers of Canada for the Arthur Ellis Award, for best Canadian true-crime book, and a finalist for the City of Dartmouth Book Award.
