{"product_id":"the-ballad-of-danny-wolfebooks","title":"The Ballad of Danny Wolfe","description":"\u003cb\u003eA gripping, fast-paced account of the life of the indigenous man who founded and led the Indian Posse, one of the most dangerous gangs in North America, into violence, power, and infamy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e In 2008, Daniel Richard Wolfe was awaiting trial on two counts of first-degree murder at the Regina Correctional Centre. This wasn't his first time in jail; from his teenage years his life had been marked by stints in and out of prison – with Danny sometimes finding his own way out. This time around, he was orchestrating his boldest move yet: a carefully plotted escape that would send the RCMP on a nationwide manhunt, launching Danny Wolfe to headline-topping notoriety. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e The Ballad of Danny Wolfe \u003c\/i\u003ecinematically traces the storied years of Danny Wolfe's life, from his birth in Regina to his relationship with his mother, Susan Creeley, a First Nations woman who was forever marked by her experience in the residential school system; to his first brush with the law at the age of four and then his subsequent arrests; to the creation of the Indian Posse, the street gang he founded with a handful of equally disenfranchised indigenous friends; to the dissonance Danny felt between the traditional world he was born into and the criminal one that became his life; to the dramatic tensions over power and loyalty unfolding in the gang world and within the Posse itself.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on unprecedented access to the Wolfe family and first-hand accounts from the people closest to the gang leader, Joe Friesen's portrait of Danny Wolfe is at once riveting and timely, nuanced and provocative.","brand":"Friesen, Joe","offers":[{"title":"Hardback (True Crime)","offer_id":45143789338848,"sku":"","price":20.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_13f300fa-589e-4d54-b025-83687043ede9.jpg?v=1712332309","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ballad-of-danny-wolfebooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
