Reviews
Hendley does a fine job putting Smith's crimes in the context of Canadian culture decades ago. Students of true crime won't want to miss this thoughtful book., The Beatle Bandit is a fascinating, brutal, unflinching true crime story, shorn of sensationalism, which will thrill you and anger you in equal measure., Hendley tells the story as though he were writing a crime novel; an apt read-alike might be Truman Capote's In Cold Blood , with which The Beatle Bandit shares a journalistic style and a perceptive analysis of people and events. First-rate true crime., With this absorbing, deeply researched tale of a troubled, gun-obsessed bank robber-turned-killer in 1960s Toronto, veteran true crime writer Nate Hendley has scored another triumph.

Synopsis
In 1964, bank robber Matt Smith's getaway was interrupted by Jack Blanc, an army veteran brandishing a revolver. A wild shootout left Blanc dead and Smith the object of a massive manhunt., The sensational true story of how a bank robber killed a man in a wild shootout, sparking a national debate around gun control and the death penalty. On July 24, 1964, twenty-four-year-old Matthew Kerry Smith disguised himself with a mask and a Beatle wig, hoisted a semi-automatic rifle, then held up a bank in North York, Ontario. The intelligent but troubled son of a businessman and mentally ill mother, Smith was a navy veteran with a young Indigenous wife and a hazy plan for violent revolution. Outside the bank, Smith was confronted by Jack Blanc, a former member of the Canadian and Israeli armies, who brandished a revolver. During a wild shootout, Blanc was killed, and Smith escaped -- only to become the object of the largest manhunt in the history of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force. Dubbed "The Beatle Bandit," Smith was eventually captured, tried, and sentenced to hang. His murderous rampage had tragic consequences for multiple families and fuelled a national debate about the death penalty, gun control, and the insanity defence., The sensational true story of how a bank robber killed a man in a wild shootout, sparking a national debate around gun control and the death penalty.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
