Truth & Honour is highly readable, engrossing, and above all, informative. It should prove to be of great interest to true crime enthusiasts, historians and students of criminology and justice systems.
The Miramichi Reader
Marquiss...effort offers more important context about the Olands, placing them in the socio-political fabric of a province dominated by a few wealthy families, notably the Irvings and the McCains. As well, Marquis offers more analysis regarding the strengths and weaknesses of purely circumstantial evidence.
Quill & Quire
As a historian, Marquis is used to studying and writing about events in the distant past. The Oland case has given him the chance to observe history unfolding with far-reaching implications in Canadian criminal law.
Atlantic Books Today
This trial captivated the Maritimes. A member of a well-established, very wealthy and influential family is killed and the lead suspect is another member of that family. We love to watch the mighty fall but the case divided a lot of people. Opinions as to Dennis guilt are mixed and Marquis does a great job of crafting the timeline of the crime. More thoughtful than your average true-crime book.
Goodreads
Marquis competently and thoroughly explores all aspects of the grisly murder of one of New Brunswicks richest and most high-profile citizens, and offers a nuanced presentation of a case that devastated and captivated the province.

This book is dedicated to D. Gordon Willett, a well-respected Saint John barrister and community volunteer, who in February 1975 was robbed and brutally beaten in his Fredericton hotel room. Michael Alward and Raymond Mooney were arrested and charged with robbery, but when the diminutive eighty-year-old victim died of his injuries, they were prosecuted for murder. The attackers stole $120 in cash and a wristwatch, which one of the accused sold to the other for $5. That watch, when its serial number was matched to a bill of sale, helped send the two men to penitentiary. Mr. Willet, who at the time of his death had been a lawyer for more than fifty years, was the partner of my late father, Henry J. Marquis, Q.C.
Court records often contain inaccurate, uncorroborated, and contradictory information. For the most part, this book is based on evidence presented at the 2015 trial of Dennis Oland and the preliminary inquiry that preceded it in 2014. I was limited to exhibits and other evidence presented in court and did not have access to full disclosure in this case.
I wish to thank my wife, Donna, who lived with this project for two years, and my colleagues Professor Nicole OByrne and Professor Mary Ann Campbell of the University of New Brunswick, Professor Michael Boudreau of St. Thomas University, clinical and forensic psychologist Bernard Galarneau, lawyer David Lutz, Q.C., and Saint John Chief of Police John Bates, who consented to be interviewed for this project. John Henderson generously provided advice on criminal law and procedure. I need to recognize the special assistance of Christine Robson, administrative assistant for the Department of History and Politics at the University of New Brunswick Saint John, the staff at the Saint John Law Courts, and the helpful people at the Saint John Free Public Library. For photographs I am indebted to Kt Braydon, Sail Canada, and Canadian Press photographer Andrew Vaughan. Artist Carol Taylor of Rothesay provided courtroom sketches. My sincere thanks to Jim Turnbull for his advice and research. Jim also contributed detailed drone aerial photography. Thanks to regular court attendees Judith Meinert and Alan Heward as well as to those members of the media with whom I shared the long days in court. UNB Saint John Dean of Arts Joanna Everitt allowed me to adjust my 2016 teaching term so that I could devote more time to writing. I appreciate feedback received on the hardcover version of this book from Mary Munford and several other individuals. And special thanks to Whitney Moran and the staff at Nimbus Publishing and editor Elaine McCluskey for helping to make this project happen.
S ince the publication of the hardcover edition of this book, public interest in the Oland case, especially in New Brunswick, has not subsided. People still hold strong views.
The investigation into the violent murder of Richard Oland in his Saint John office and the trial of his son produced two best-selling books, including this one, in 2016. But the case continues to take unexpected turns, which a new chapter in this updated book explores.
Dennis Olands legal saga was named the top news story of 2016 by The Telegraph Journal. Viewers of the popular CTV Atlantic evening news voted it one of the top stories of the year, and developments in the case in late 2016 and 2017 have been covered by local and national media, including CBCs The Fifth Estate.
For the sixth year in a row, the crime was a popular topic at Christmas and New Years gatherings and is likely to remain so in the future.
Many persist in believing that Dennis, convicted by a jury of murdering his multi-millionaire father, is a nice guy incapable of violence and is simply the victim of circumstance. Others are convinced of his guilt and resent his well-funded legal defence and the outward show of loyalty by his wealthy family and friends and the lack of a single prominent citizen who has publicly spoken of victim Richard Oland receiving justice.
On the other hand, there are signs that many people in Saint John and especially Rothesay have erected a protective bubble around the Oland family. Then there are those who think that Dennis is probably culpable but that the Crown did not find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Perhaps they would be satisfied with what the Scots call the bastard verdict of not proven.
