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. 'On South Mountain' is more than just an unveiling of the Clan's dark secrets. It is a social history of the Mountain and Valley"--- any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo ///SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE///.

Toronto Ontario: Toronto ON: Random House Canada 2008 1st Edition First Printing 2008. ------------hardcover a Near Fine copy in a Very Good dustjacket with a faint stain on verso of the jacket 296 pages b&w photos ---"The Hells Angels. The Bandidos. Asian triads. Russian mobsters and corrupt cops. Even the KKK. Just part of a day�s work for Alex Caine an undercover agent who has seen it all. Alex Caine started life as a working-class boy from Quebec who always thought he�d end up in a blue-collar job. But after a tour in Vietnam and a stretch in prison on marijuana-possession charges he fell into the cloak-and-dagger world of a contracted agent or �kite�: infiltrating criminal groups that cops across North America and around the globe were unable to penetrate themselves. Thanks to his quick-wittedness and his tough but unthreatening demeanour Caine could fit into whatever unsavoury situation he found himself. Over twenty-five years his assignments ran the gamut from bad-ass bikers to triad toughs. When a job was over he�d slip away to a new part of the continent or world where he would assume a new identity and then go back to work on another group of bad guys. Told with page-turning immediacy Befriend and Betray gives a candid look behind the scenes at some familiar police operations and blows the lid off others that law enforcement would much prefer to keep hidden. And it offers an unvarnished account of the toll such a life takes one that often left Caine to wonder who he really was behind those decades of assumed identities. Or whether justice was ever truly served."--- any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo. First Edition. Hard Cover.

Marquis John Harry Oakes related
Blood and Fire: The Duke of Windsor and the Strange Murder of Sir Harry Oakes
Kingston Jamaica: Kingston Jamaica: LMH Publishing 2006 1st Edition First Printing 2006. ---------trade paperback a Near Fine copy 232 pages b&w photos ---"When news of Sir Harry Oakes' murder in the Bahamas broke to the world on the morning of July 81943 one man was more concerned than most. He was the Duke of Windsor then Governor of the British colony whose job it was to ensure that the killer was caught and brought to justice. However the Duke's actions in the aftermath of the 20th. century's greatest murder mystery raised more questions than answers and cast doubt on his own intentions in calling in two Miami investigators of dubious worth. Was the Duke a conspirator in a gigantic cover-up Did he try to excecute an innocent man in an attempt to protect himself and his friends In this compelling tale John Marquis presents an alternative view to the one generally accepted in the Bahamas which is that the Duke was a bungler who mishandled the case. He believes the evidence strongly suggests that the Duke was a plotter with something to hide and a cruel mission to condemn an innocent man. More than 60 years later the story retains the power to mesmerise all those with a taste for intrigue in high places at a time when the western world faced its greatest peril. It is an electrifying tale of high society chicanery in a tropical paradise during wartime with the hangman's noose providing a grusome backdrop. As a murder mystery Blood and Fire has everything"--- any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo. Later Printing of the first Edition. Soft Cover.
