September 2020Ross Mackay, The Saga of a Brilliant Criminal Lawyer
And His Big Losses and Bigger Wins in Court and in Life
by Jack Batten
For people who love Perry Mason courtroom dramas and the criminal subculture of Better Call Saul, this book, Ross Mackay, The Saga of a Brilliant Criminal Lawyer is great fit. Two murder trials were held in Toronto in the spring of 1962, only nineteen days apart. The accused man in each trial, one a pimp accused of stabbing a fellow pimp to death, the other a thief who killed a policeman in a shootout, were the last two men to be hanged in Canada. Toronto criminal lawyer Ross Mackay was the counsel for the accused in both trials, a mere thirty years old when he lost them both to the gallows. But the trials were far from the last times that Mackay defended accused murderers in the most horrendous circumstances. Author Jack Batten tells the story of Mackay’s dedication to the maxim that every man is entitled to a defence — a story of Mackay’s courage and the harsh penalties he paid for the daring and controversial choices he made in life and in the courtroom.

Mystery2014The Crooked Knife
A Claire Burke Mystery
by Emma Pivato
When Bill Mackay, a 33 year old autistic man, is brought from the institution in Calgary in which he has resided for many years to a new institution in Edmonton, Canada, his guardian and aunt, 75-year-old Marion Mackay is fearful for his ability to adjust. However, due to Marion's own declining health, she believes she must move closer to her daughter in Edmonton. Bill is particularly loathe to leave Mavis Elves, a wheelchair-bound woman he considers a special friend. No sooner is Bill moved into his new residence––the Clive Center––in Edmonton, than he is involved in an altercation with a nurse. When the nurse is found murdered the next morning and Bill is found asleep in his bed, clutching a knife which turns out to be the murder weapon, Marion is overwhelmed. She calls Claire Burke, a friend in Edmonton, who she knows has a special needs daughter and who also knows Bill and Mavis. Claire wastes no time stepping in and stepping up when the local police seem ready to railroad Bill for the murder without searching for any other potential suspects. Claire is a go-getter and, along with her pal Tia, not only works to clear Bill of the murder rap, but also begins a major campaign to bring Mavis to Edmonton permanently and to ensconce the two friends along with another in their own home. Along the way, Claire’s and Tia's efforts involve a side trip to Barbados as well as some unexpected run-ins with the real killer.
