Since 1979, he has been writing for The Globe and Mail, reporting on topics such as nuclear power, the environment, provincial politics, and the courts. He won the 1988 and 1989 Scales of Justice awards for justice reporting and has developed a personal interest in prison issues. AWARDS: 1993 Arthur Ellis Award for Best True Crime. REVIEWS: "Excellent. One of the best true crime books I have ever read."--Pierce R. Brooks, former Supervisor of Homicide Investigations, Los Angeles Police Department. "Of the avalanche of true crime books published in the past year, this is the only one I read that was worth reading. I couldn't put it down."--Yvonne Crittenden, The Toronto Sun. "Riveting. The most compelling true crime book I can remember reading."--Connie Woodcock, The Ottawa Sun. "Shocking.paints a picture of a labyrinthine justice system whipped into an unstoppable, crushing force by the incompetence and blind fury of a handful of police officers and Crown attorneys."--Calgary Herald. "Makin's research is so thorough that much of what he suspects cannot be ignored, even if it is inadmissible as evidence in a court of law. His book reveals how, once the criminal justice machine is set in motion, it can crush someone like Morin."--The Gazette (Montreal). "In an era of sensationalist and superficial courtroom coverage, of quickie paperbacks and titillating TV movies about high-profile cases, Redrum the Innocent stands out as a work of substance. Not only an impressive piece of journalism, but also a disturbing portrait of Canada's criminal justice system."--Maclean's. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Nº de ref. del artículo: 004209
