Her Majesty the Queen, Respondent; Epilogue. SYNOPSIS: The brutalized, half-nude corpse of beautiful Christine Demeter was found in a pool of blood beside her Cadillac. That scene was pleasant compared to the story that was to emerge. This is the story of one of the most shocking and sensational crimes ever to rivet the attention of a nation. It is the story of lust, ambition, greed, cruelty, ruthlessness, money, power and perversity. It is the story of cloak-and-dagger police work that ranged over two continents, and extended from the upper levels of society to the lowest depths of the Canadian underworld. It is the story of a trial in which the defense pulled out all stops to prove innocence and the prosecution seemed willing to do anything to convict. It is a story that makes any fiction seem tame. - and - The Murder Case That Had Everything (Except, Perhaps, Justice). The victim--a glamorous ex-model clinging for dear life to a rich husband grown cold. The suspect--a brilliant, moody, self-made Toronto real estate tycoon bitter over his wife's past infidelities, and himself infatuated with a teasing, bi-sexual mistress. The supporting characters--free-talking friends.treacherous allies.professional killers.promotion-hungry policemen.a confessed rapist-murderer.a prestigious criminal lawyer.a tigerish prosecution team.an Establishment judge.a jury sworn to follow a murderously twisting trail of passion and guilt to a decision beyond a reasonable doubt. George Jonas has written, produced, and directed hundreds of programmes for CBC radio and television. A man of widely varied interests, Jonas contributes articles, reviews, and poetry to most major magazines. Barbara Amiel is a senior editor at Maclean's magazine. Her articles on social and political issues have appeared in Saturday Night, Chatelaine, and The Canadian. She is also a well known book reviewer and appears regularly on radio and television. In 1974, she and George Jonas were married. AWARDS: A Book-of-the-Month Club Main Selection. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Codice articolo 004197
