What happens when unimaginable amounts of gold are discovered in an unimaginable place? It becomes a golden feeding frenzy. Just before World War Two breaks out, a young journalist arrives in a northern Canadian boom town, Timmins, Ontario. He quickly discovers that nearly the entire city is secretly, and in some cases, openly involved in stealing gold from the city's gold mines, and there are LOTS of mines. Everyone wants to get rich. Everyone. Politicians, miners, prospectors, mine managers, priests, cops, hookers and bank tellers - everyone wants their share of the stolen gold. Based on thousands of hours of research, hundreds of interviews, and confessions from gold thieves themselves (called highgraders) - City of Thieves is a collection of short stories with breathtaking outcomes.
