An account of a famous fewd which left many dead in depression era Ontario "His first step was -- naturally -- the first saloon. Before it was the wooden sidewalk, a long hitching-rail and saddled horses of pioneer farms then the muddy street. From within came the gleam of lights, loud laughs and boisterous voices. After long and laborious hours, hardy sons of the sod were having their fun. Donnelly entered, pushed his way to the bar, motioned to a bottle and was served a stiff one. Downing it, he was wiping his lips with the back of his hand when he noticed the steady gaze of the one next to him. He returned the stare, eyes met and held a minute then Jim Donnelly pushed his glass back on the bar and spoke his first words in the village of Lucan: 'What the hell are you lookin' at, you horse-faced bastard?'" Thus closes the first chapter The Black Donnellys by Thomas P. Kelley. Gotta love it. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A new edition of a classic novel from one of Canada's most sensational crime authors. Near London, Ontario, in the Lucan district, even the bravest were scared to ride at night. The notorious Donnelly family - brawlers, murderers, robbers, arsonists - were despised and feared, and their reign of bloodshed and terror gripped the community... until the townspeople planned their revenge. The Black Donnellys is the tale of the most vicious feud in southwestern Ontario history. Blending parts of a true story with generous spoonfuls of fiction, crime author Thomas P. Kelley's sensational interpretation of this tragedy raised the Donnellys from local folklore to a shocking piece of Canadiana. Originally published in 1954, this classic has stood the test of time - pulling in generation after generation of readers with its thrilling details about the tumultuous lives and tragic deaths of five members of the Donnelly family on one night in February 1880. This new edition of The Black Donnellys - which is introduced by Ray Fazakas, the foremost expert in Donnelly family history - is sure to captivate yet another generation of historical fiction lovers and crime novel aficionados.
