Title
The Last to Die - Robert J. Hoshowsky
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Although they committed separate crimes, Arthur Lucas and Ronald Turpin met their deaths on the same scaffold at Toronto's Don Jail on December 11, 1962. They were the last two people executed in Canada, but surprisingly little was known about them until now. This is the first book to uncover the lives and deaths of Turpin, a Canadian criminal, and Lucas, a Detroit gangster. The result of more than five years of research, The Last to Die: Ronald Turpin, Arthur Lucas, and the End of Capital Punishment in Canada is based on original interviews, hidden documents, trial transcripts, and newspaper accounts.
