From the mean streets of 1930s Depression-era Toronto comes the gripping tale of a man who became one of the nation's most notorious criminals. Until the age of 31, Donald McDonald was only \"dirty little Mickey from The Corner,\" the notorious intersection of Toronto's Jarvis and Dundas Streets in a neighbourhood known in the 1930s as \"Gangland.\" After Mickey was charged with the January 1939 murder of bookmaker Jimmy Windsor, he became a national crime figure. What followed were two murder trials, a liquor-truck hijacking, a sensational three-man escape in 1947 from Kingston Penitentiary, and a $50, 000 bank robbery. According to police, as gleaned from underworld informants, Mickey was killed in the 1950s in the United States \"by his own criminal associates.\" Author Peter McSherry presents several versions of McDonald's demise, one of which he endorses, and tells why it happened, delivering a compelling denouement to the chronicle of a criminal readers will never forget. | What Happened to Mickey? by Peter Mcsherry, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
