A very interesting book looking at the conviction of Janise Gamble in an armed bank robbery and the subsequent killing of a Calgary policy officer and hostage taking in March 1976. The question of whether Janise was a willing accomplice in those events or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time is told in detail and allows the reader to make up their own mind about the case.
