Apple blossoms lush farms and lovely secluded beaches have graced photographs and postcards without number. But there has been a dark evil within this idyllic land for more than two hundred years. Overlooking the Valley is South Mountain a long ridge of hills covered by dense forests which conceal tiny hamlets and isolated clusters of shacks set in small clearings. For most of the last two centuries it has been home to the 'Clans' -- thirty or so tight family groupingsliving in their various Mountain enclaves in the kind of poverty and deprivation associated only with the world's poorest nations. Then one day a fourteen-year-old Mountain girl told authorities that her father had been 'using her as a wife'. This revelation sparked a massive investigation which revealed a horrific tale of incest sexual and physical abuse and psychological torture. Eventually sixteen men and women almost an entire generation of one Clan faced more than one hundred and fifty criminal charges.At the same time eleven children also an entire generation of the same Clan were taken from their homes. The Valley's dark secrets are revealed -- in this mesmerizing account of what has gone on behind the picture postcard. For over a century church officials academics politicians teachers social workers and doctors knew what was happening on South Mountain --but they chose to look the other way.

‎The Bandido Massacre: A True Story of Bikers Brotherhood and Betrayal‎

‎Toronto Ontario: Toronto ON: Harper Collins / HarperCollins 2010 1st Edition First Printing 2010. -----------hardcover a solid Good exlibrary copy with the usual library marks and stamps in a Near Fine dustjacket no library stickers on the jacket 474 pages b&w photos ---"On the morning of April 8 2006 residents of the hamlet of Shedden Ontario woke up to the news that the bloodied bodies of eight bikers from the Bandidos gang had been found stuffed into cars and trucks by a local farm. The massacre made headlines around the world and the shocking news brought a grim light to an otherwise quiet corner of the Canadian province. The day after the bodies were discovered Bandido Wayne -Weiner- Kellestine was arrested for the murders of their own crew in what remains as one of the worst mass murders in Canadian history and the largest one-day slaughter anywhere in the outlaw biker world. ---The story of the biker massacre is alternately frightening and pathetic. Like other outlaw bikers Bandidos portray themselves as motorcycle enthusiasts who are systematically misunderstood and abused by police and feared by the public. However unlike other biker gangs such as the Hells Angels who run highly sophisticated criminal empires the Bandidos were anything but motorcycle enthusiasts-in fact many of them broke the gang�s cardinal rule of even riding a Harley. Highly disorganized prone to petty infighting and sabotage of fellow members and-fatally-dismissive of the warnings of the powerful American leadership the Canadian club known as the No Surrender Crew imploded over one dark night when one by one the former brothers were led to slaughter. ---Peter Edwards was on the scene as the story broke and has followed the proceedings from the arrests in 2006 to the highly publicized court case in 2009 when all six defendants were found guilty of first-degree murder. He spoke with mass murderer Wayne Weiner Kellestine hours after the murders and interviewed outlaw bikers and cops on the streets and behind bars to research this story. He also covered the trial of the killers and related trials from start to finish. ---The Bandido Massacre tells in chilling detail how Nazi-loving Kellestine betrayed his fellow Bandidos at his farm outside of quiet Iona Station Ontario; and how Michael �Taz� Sandham a former theology student and police officer turned biker found himself in the rafters of Kellestine�s barn with his rifle trained on his former comrades. But The Bandido Massacre also tells the very human side of the story of John -Boxer- Muscedere the head of the Toronto Bandidos who laughed even as he ordered Kellestine to kill him first in a vain attempt to save his brothers; George -Crash- Kriarakis wounded in the opening volley and shot dead as he sat in a car awaiting a ride to the hospital; and Jamie -Goldberg- Flanz the only Jewish member of the Canadian crew made to wait at the end of the line as his brothers were marched out of the barn into the early morning darkness. ---As gripping as any crime novel The Bandido Massacre is the shocking inside story of a crumbling brotherhood bent on self-destruction and betrayal."--- any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///NOT SIGNED///.

‎Toronto Ontario: Toronto ON: Alfred A Knopf 2001 1st Edition First Printing 2001. ------------hardcover a Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dustjacket signed and inscribed "To J___ Thank you for your support. Steve Truscott " 580 pages b&w photographs throughout expands the CBC TV Fifth Estate documentary Sher was the producer for that show and expanded the story with this book and includes evidence that was withheld during the trial Truscott now lives in Guelph Ontario ---"---Talk to anyone you find investigate wherever things lead you. I know I'm innocent and I�m not afraid of what you�ll turn up. Until You Are Dead chronicles the loss of Canada�s innocence. Prior to June 11 1959 Canadian parents could allow their children to play outdoors unsupervised in places children traditionally love: schoolyards fields and nearby swimming holes. But on that hot summer day when the body of a twelve-year-old girl turned up in a woody area near Clinton Ontario that innocence was shattered. The girl�s name was Lynne Harper and she had been raped and murdered. The summer was barely over before a popular schoolboy named Steven Truscott fourteen years old at the time was tried convicted and sentenced to hang. Truscott spent ten years in prison after the federal cabinet commuted his death sentence. He has always maintained his innocence. His trial in 1959 was the most famous and controversial in Canadian history. As a producer at CBC TV�s the fifth estate Julian Sher spent two years investigating the Steven Truscott story for an explosive documentary. When it aired in the spring of 2000 more than 1.4 million Canadians watched the program that sparked headlines across the country and questions in Parliament. Now in this gripping and shocking account Sher gives us the full story of that investigation including new material not revealed on television. From the news that a young girl had gone missing in 1959 to the efforts four decades later by lawyers - those who assisted Guy Paul Morin and others - preparing an application to the federal justice minister for a verdict of wrongful conviction this is a thorough and chilling examination of the case that rocked the country and the man who continues to reside at its centre. When Steven Truscott decided to come out of hiding and tell his story to the fifth estate there were no deals no commitments no promises. If Sher and the fifth estate were to investigate one of Canada�s most controversial murder cases they had to have unfettered access. Truscott readily agreed. "Until You Are Dead� reveals witnesses not called upon to testify; other more likely suspects including a known pedophile never questioned; and important leads that were kept from the defence the judge and jurors. Boxes of police files and military records hidden or buried in government vaults reveal astonishing and disturbing information about an investigation and trial the authorities always claimed was above reproach. All told the book uncovers a wealth of information that could have lead to a different verdict and a very different life for the young boy who was nearly executed over forty years ago.
