Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the heart of Toronto's Gay Village, men were disappearing. One by one, quietly, without explanation. The community raised the alarm. Families filed reports. Advocates demanded answers. And for seven years, the institution designed to protect them moved too slowly, looked too carefully away, and allowed a killer to walk freely among his victims. He drove a minivan. He tended gardens. He sat children on his knee at Christmas. He buried eight men in the planters of the people who trusted him. CRIME AT THE HIGH ROAD is the definitive, unflinching account of the Bruce McArthur serial killer case, one of the most disturbing and consequential criminal investigations in Canadian history. Investigative journalist and true crime author Charlotte A. Denzel takes readers inside the years of cold leads, the community's mounting rage, and the landmark Project Prism investigation that finally brought a predator to justice. But this is not only a detective story. It is a reckoning with the institutional failures, the systemic biases, and the hierarchy of human value that allowed a killer to operate in plain sight while eight men were buried beneath the earth. Their names were Abdulbasir Faizi. Skandaraj Navaratnam. Majeed Kayhan. Soroush Mahmudi. Dean Lisowick. Kirushna Kumar Kanagaratnam. Selim Esen. Andrew Kinsman. They deserved better. This book demands we build it. Gripping. Devastating. Essential. For readers of I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Say Nothing, and Lost Girls.
