"...Robert Hoshowsky's absorbing account of the last two men executed for murder in Canada is also a first-rate social history, evocative of a Toronto long gone in its acceptance of capital punishment but startlingly contemporary in its fear of gun violence."
(Maclean's magazine)
"This essential bit of Canadiana briefly relates the life, crimes, trials and execution of Ronald Turpin and Arthur Lucas — the two men who at Toronto's Don Jail on Dec.11, 1962 were the last to die by judicial hanging in Canada."
"This is a courageous and shocking book."
What is really courageous is for a classy guy such as Mr Hoshowsky to come on True Crime Uncensored where we ask the deep probing questions such as, "What are you wearing?" and "How big a thrill is it to be featured in SERIAL KILLER QUARTERLY with brilliant authors such as Burl Barer?"
Plus Robert knows all about the 'PANTYHOSE MURDERER!"
Robert J Hoshowsky goes above and beyond, interviewing police detectives to piece together the story of the little-known mentally disordered “Pantyhose Murderer” Douglas McCaul, a long-forgotten Canadian serial killer believed to have claimed up to six victims in Toronto and southern Ontario in the 1970s.
