Introduction by Max Haines. ‘On March 16, 1946, the headless, limbless body of John Dick was discovered by a group of schoolchildren in the lonely outskirts of Hamilton, Ontario. So began the most shocking murder investigation ever undertaken in Canadian history. This is a true-life crime story with all the ingredients of the best detective stories: lurid sex, seething passion, spine-tingling suspense and gruesome murder. And it stars a genuine femme fatale, Mrs. Evelyn Dick – a strikingly beautiful woman whose extraordinary sexual proclivities and bizarre testimony shocked the nation.’ (from rear wrap)
