Book Description
The sensational true story of how a bank robber killed a man in a wild shootout, sparking a national debate around gun control and the death penalty. WINNER of the 2022 Brass Knuckles Award for Best Nonfiction Crime Book On July 24, 1964, twenty-four-year-old Matthew Kerry Smith disguised himself with a mask and a Beatle wig, hoisted a semi-automatic rifle, then held up a bank in North York, Ontario. The intelligent but troubled son of a businessman and mentally ill mother, Smith was a navy veteran with a young Indigenous wife and a hazy plan for violent revolution. Outside the bank, Smith was confronted by Jack Blanc, a former member of the Canadian and Israeli armies, who brandished a revolver. During a wild shootout, Blanc was killed, and Smith escaped — only to become the object of the largest manhunt in the history of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force. Dubbed “The Beatle Bandit,” Smith was eventually captured, tried, and sentenced to hang. His murderous rampage had tragic consequences for multiple families and fuelled a national debate about the death penalty, gun control, and the insanity defence.

Book Description
Meet Darby Tillman. An amiable-even likeable love starved thirty-six year old screwball who has some rather bizarre views on almost everything, including what it takes to woo, bemuse and finally conquer the fairer sex. Believing he's finally found true love at last, Darby can't quite understand why his frustrating, often lopsided relationship suddenly goes sour with Gretchen, the lovely but mysterious lady upstairs who has been concealing a chilling, unspeakable horror most of her life. Ultimately rejected by Gretchen, Darby shifts his amorous, somewhat vengeful feelings toward Amber-Gretchen's precocious niece-after learning the beautiful tennis playing coed is visiting her wealthy great aunt on Hawaii's Big Island for the summer. From the very beginning of Darby's moronically contrived "Amber Introduction Plan"-if one can accept kidnapping as a perfectly normal approach to meeting someone new-everything goes wrong. And things just get a lot worse as Amber and her loopy, nitwit abductor, Darby, suddenly find themselves battling for their lives-and each other-as they struggle to survive one of the worst cataclysms to ravage the Hilo coastline in years! "Disturbingly odd and well crafted. I loved every nutty, neurotic word!" R. Hoelterhoff, J&B Media - Chicago "Hilarious! Eerie! Spooky! Cage this lunatic (the author)! Just make sure he has something dull and non-sharp to keep writing with!" J. Nelson, Gannet Publications - NY
