More Tough Crimes follows the exceptional success of Tough Crimes: True Cases by Top Canadian Criminal Lawyers (2014) and Shrunk: Crime and Disorders of the Mind (2016), the first two books in Durvile’s True Cases Series. What makes this series so unique and successful is the  window provided into the world of criminal justice. The sixteen stories in More Tough Crimes are written by Donald Bayne on the Senator Mike Duffy trial and the theme of a trial as media spectacle;  Brian Beresh on a historic case about the last woman in Alberta to be sentenced to death; David Bright with a tale of intrigue spanning extradition and incarceration from India to Nova Scotia; Breese Davies on a teen who died by self-inflicted strangulation in her prison cell; Justice Joseph Di Luca on funny and, at times, tragic stories of inmate appeals at the Court of Appeal;  Mona Duckett on a Mr. Big operation where the client falsely confesses to the killings;  Justice Faith Finnestad  on the twisting, turning, and unravelling of people’s lives as a crime unfolds; Alan D. Gold on the Andre Gravelle murder and bogus lip reading evidence; Brian H. Greenspan on the case of hockey agent and promoter Alan Eagleson;  James Lockyer on the wrongful conviction of Steven Truscott; Brock Martland on the Surrey Six murders focusing on the Crown negotiating deals with alleged triggermen; Judge Jim Ogle on the case of druggist Stephen Kesler who shot and killed a robbery suspect;  Clayton Rice on a murder appeal involving a man with a serious mental disorder; Jonathan Rudin on the deaths of young Aboriginal people from fly-in communities in Northern Ontario and the quest to get an inquest; Judge Raymond Wyant on a vicious case of rape and murder that changed his life and career  forever;  and William Trudell on the trial of the contract killer of the wife of Helmuth Buxbaum.
