- Four bullets, four witnesses, four liars : the true story of a murder and the trial that followed / by Barrie, Brian,author.;
- "On April 26th, 1988, a man was shot and killed in a remote cabin in rural Ontario. Four witnesses were questioned by the police. Each one told a different story. Worse than that, they continued to change their stories, repeatedly contradicting not only each other, but themselves. Ultimately, a woman named Mae McEachern was charged with murder. But what really happened that night? Author Brian Barrie acted as Mae's defense lawyer at her murder trial. In this scintillating true crime novel, Barrie used the trial transcripts, newspaper articles, and his own memories to piece together the story of who these people were and how the murder came to pass. He goes on to detail the gripping courtroom drama of the murder trial, where Mae's innocence was judged by a jury of her peers. Grappling with themes of mental illness, domestic violence, misogyny, and disability, this astonishing exposé from Delve Books casts a light on how the Canadian justice system and police force can further victimize those who are already vulnerable, while also laying bare the simple kindness and love that can exist between people, even in the harshest of circumstances."--
