Rough & Messy Justice brings to life the Crowsnest Pass of 1920, where an armed robbery of a CPR train leads to a dramatic shootout at the Bellevue Café. The book details the crime, the shootout, and the manhunt, then explores the flawed trial marred by racism, coverups, and incompetence, revealing a tragic miscarriage of justice.
