Drop Dead at Fairview Library

Join me at the Fairview Branch of the Toronto Public Library on Wednesday, May 17th (7:30-9pm) for a FREE talk!  

Drop Dead is the story of alcoholic executioners, nervous sheriffs, hanging judges, wrongful convictions, unruly mobs, and perhaps even a botched execution (or two)… I invite you to “Meet the Hangman” or, to be more precise, to meet the three most famous hangmen in Canada in the 109-year period from Confederation in 1867 to the abolition of capital punishment in 1976.

Thanks to the North York Historical Society and the North York Central Library, Society and Recreation Department for hosting this event!
