A national bestseller, now updated, expanded, and revised to tell an even bigger story.

On July 6, 2011, Richard Oland, scion of the Moosehead brewing family, was bludgeoned to death in his Saint John office. In a shocking turn, the multimillionaire's only son, Dennis, was arrested for second-degree murder. Found guilty by a jury in 2015, Dennis Oland successfully appealed his conviction and was retried three years later.

In this new revised and expanded edition, MacKinnon takes readers inside every stage of one of Canada's most gripping murder trials. She addresses the issues with the original police investigation, Oland's appeal and his subsequent appearance at the Supreme Court of Canada, new evidence and witnesses brought forward at the retrial, and the sensational final verdict.

A reporter for the CBC, Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon covered the Oland case from the very beginning to the judge 's final verdict. In this definitive account of a series of trials for a horrific crime, she lays bare the tribulations of a prominent family and the inner workings of the justice system that led to Dennis Oland's contentious conviction, retrial, and acquittal.
