Uncensored and off the record! The shocking murder of a police officer on Scarlett Road sparks the largest manhunt in the city's history. Two brothers play a dangerous game of one-upmanship as they terrorized the roadhouses along the Lakeshore Highway to see who could out-do the other in criminal capacity; the contest would end only when one betrayed the other. Toronto's most notorious gangster slithers free from an airtight murder rap, but one final score puts an end to his criminal career. Join us as we parse the particulars of three crimes that characterized the destructive decade known as the Dirty Thirties.
Nicole Mair and Bryan Ho are the authors of Mississauga Confidential, a true-crime history of the City of Mississauga published by Heritage Mississauga. Nicole is an historian and costume designer and Bryan is a teacher and filmmaker. Together they share a long-held love of film noir and pulp fiction from the mid-20th century.​
