(Dundurn) Murder in Maclean’s

Welcome to Dundurn’s Summer of Murder and Mayhem! As touched upon in our last post, we’re spending the remaining weeks of heat taking a look at our mystery and true crime titles and sharing our favourite picks, passages, and a few specially created posts from Dundurn staff and authors alike.  There might be a giveaway or two, so make sure to keep checking in here, and on Twitter and Facebook.

Why not kick-off the murderous festivities by sharing an awesome piece written about one of our recently released true crime titles? Unsolved by Robert J. Hoshowsky explores twelve Canadian crimes that continue to haunt police to this day. From the 1968 disappearance of an aspiring musician, to the 2006 slaying of a Canadian couple on vacation in Mexico,  some of the most disturbing cold cases are documented with the hope that perhaps one day, the person responsible will be found.

See what Maclean’s senior editor Brian Bethune had to say about Robert Hoshowsky’s latest contribution to the Dundurn catalogue below.

Tell us: what Canadian cold cases resonate with you?
