{"product_id":"deadly-encounters-barbara-smith-9780888821621","title":"Deadly Encounters: True Crime Stories of Alberta","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuiet pleasant communities, sparkling under the clear blue skies of Alberta, have witnessed bloody murders and violent mayhem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom a wide variety of accounts, Babara Smith has selected eight intriguing stories that will astound and amaze you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMystery still surrounds the fate of pro golfer Frank Willey who disappeared in 1962. Two men were convicted of his murder, but his body has never been found. No suspect, however, was ever found in the case of MaryAnn Plett. The pretty, young real-estate agent disappeared after going to show a property to a client -- but some skeletal remains were discovered seven months later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1948, a family could hardly have guessed that their newly purchased home would come complete with a corpse; and, in another case, Winnie Wanner's bathroom was found splattered with blood. Although her estranged husband was seen leaving the apartment with a suspiciously large bag, Winnie vanished from the face of the earth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese chilling tales, previously little known outside Alberta, also include matters of greed, rum running, shoot-outs, and hostages. They will be every bit as fascinating to the crime buff as those found anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088882162X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780888821621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dundurn Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Barbara Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372845093119,"sku":"9780888821621","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96d6b885-2ba3-487d-b5a7-8f9df0eedf03.jpg?v=1732727129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deadly-encounters-barbara-smith-9780888821621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
