The Big Red Fox: The Incredible Story of Norman
|
Review
"... a valuable addition to the annals of true crime."
From the Inside Flap
Norman "Red" Ryan escaped from Kingston Penitentiary twice -- first by force and then, years later, by gulling the credulous into believing that he was "reformed."

This is a phenomenal story. The author's 22-year passion of research results in a read that you don't want to put down. The fact that it is all based on reality makes it even more enthralling. This is a wild tale.
This would also be a useful read for anyone researching the history of the Canadian penal code and the 'ticket-of-leave' precursor to modern, more liberal ideas, about the potential for rehabiliation in criminals.
I'm very glad I got into this book - highly recommended.
