( Details ) Dimensions: 456 Pages | Canadian Author | ISBN: 2895940002 Published: February 2003 | Published by CANTOS PUBLISHING On the Jacket "Well, they say 'never say never' and they're right," Karla wrote to author Stephen Williams . "Never in a million years did I think I would ever write a letter to someone from the media, let alone you who has condemned me so harshly." Thus began one of the most controversial correspondences in Canadian history. Karla: A Pact with the Devil picks up where Williams' first book on the case, Invisible Darkness , left her, painting her nails in her cell in Kingston's Prison for Women. After testifying against her ex-husband in the summer of 1995, her life in prison was soon going to take a very different, dramatic turn. Part memoir, part woman-in-prison story, part prognostication, part political expose, Williams lets Karla and the other key players speak for themselves. And what they have to say will surprise, horrify and enlighten. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 1 1. The Canadian Criminal Justice System.

Stephen Williams exposes the gross ineptitude of the St. Catharine's police, specifically the new Chief of Ottawa-Carleton Police (!) Vince Bevan. If it wasn't for our friend, Mr. Bevan, rushing to find a way to prosecute Bernardo before the Toronto police, Karla would have never received her "sweet deal". A life even she descibes as "sleeping and sun-tanning". It is very unfortunate that the big Canadian publishers rejected this finely researched work. As a result, the book is sloppily edited and contains minor factual errors (Winona played Veronica in Heathers, and was really an antihero, not a villian - okay, it's minor, I know, but things like this bug me). These little mistakes, along with some grammar issues, would have been checked by a bigger publishing house. Williams' anger is so on the surface that his passion makes you wish for more footnotes, an index, just a Info Desk iREWARDS Program About Our Company Affiliate Opportunities Careers Contact Us Corporate Sales Gift Certificates Privacy Policy Shipping Rates Store Locations Wish List chapters.indigo.ca: books Shopping Bag | Account Centre | Wish List | Help iREWARDS Program | Corporate Sales | Store Locations All Products Books DVD Video Gifts Books Advanced Search Search Tips About this Book On the Jacket Reader Reviews True Crime Espionage Murder Browse Home Page View all Categories .
