Veteran crime writers Pacholik and Pruden are back with more true tales of tangled plots, foul deeds and conniving cons in the heart of the Canadian prairies.

In their second collection of Saskatchewan true crime stories, Pacholik and Pruden uncover a number of little-known or long-forgotten tales from Saskatchewan’s history, including chilling homicides, daring robberies, shocking frauds–and even a suicide bombing and an airplane hijacking. From the first execution to the never-before-revealed details of one of Canada’s largest drug busts, from frozen gold to poisoned porridge, Paper Cows is guaranteed to surprise, shock, and facinate.

Barb Pacholik, bestselling co-author of Sour Milk & other Saskatchewan Crime Stories and Boiling Point & Cold Cases: More Saskatchewan Crime Stories, is a reporter for the Regina Leader-Post.
