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.

SYNOPSIS: On July 18th, 1973, a woman clad only in a backless dress was found lying in the garage of her luxurious home. She was Christine Demeter, the beautiful 33-year-old wife of a wealthy Toronto developer, and her skull had been smashed. One month later--after a cloak-and-dagger police investigation that involved wire-taps, an arrest in Vienna, and the ingenious bugging of outdoor conversations--her Hungarian-born husband was charged with procuring her murder. The trial of Peter Demeter was the longest murder trial in Canadian history, and its ingredients (a Hollywood scriptwriter's dream) caught the eye of the world's press. Peter Demeter had insured his wife's life for a million dollars; he had a glamorous Austrian mistress, a member of the European jet set, who was pushing him towards marriage; and he had often discussed ways of getting rid of his wife. But as the trial progressed, the astonishing parade of witnesses--including a self-confessed double murderer, a hooded witness known as "Tom Smith", an enforcer who broke arms and legs for a fee, an ex-member of the Foreign Legion, even the glamorous Austrian mistress--unfolded a bizarre tale of sexual intrigue and murder which ranged through the Toronto underworld and as far afield as Hungary and involved two violent deaths. Through the maze of conflicting accounts, the possibility emerged that both husband and wife had been plotting one another's death. Behind the dramatic events was an even more serious conflict. It pitted immigrants, Jews, and the "old-boy" legal establishment against one another in a bitter clash of values and attitudes. Apart from the puzzle of Peter Demeter's guilt or innocence, it raises fundamental questions about the administration of justice in our society. - and - In future years this book will be seen as a classic. By concentrating on one dramatic murder case, the authors have managed to reveal, in absorbing detail, exactly how our legal system operates. They take us behind the counter in the police station to where overworked detectives struggle to acquire evidence that the lawyers for the Crown can shape into a case. They take us into the plush fortieth-floor offices of an expensive and successful lawyer as the defence strategy is mapped out. They take us not only into the hushed courtroom as the trial progresses, but even behind the scenes to the Judge's chambers, where the rival lawyers bitterly debate. And they take us along the echoing corridors of Kingston Penitentiary. But this is much more than just a book about a crime, bewildering and dramatic though the murder of Christine Demeter undoubtedly was. Ranging back and forth in time and place, from war-torn Budapest in 1944 to wintry Ottawa in 1977, this brilliant book introduces us to a dazzling variety of people at the very top and the very bottom of Canadian society. Some of these men and women are good, some are evil. But all of them are described coolly and object.
