Description
The Murder That Changed a City The tragic story of Shoeshine Boy Emanuel Jaques has been the basis of novels, short stories, a documentary, a play, songs, a children's book on the dangers of abduction, and dozens of essays, but never a True Crime book...until now. The torture and killing of Emanuel over a 12-hour period above a seedy Toronto body rub parlour outraged citizens who demanded change to Toronto's Yonge Street strip, which by 1977 resembled New York's grimy 42nd Street with its many X-rated movie theatres, massage parlours, pornographic bookstores, and prostitutes. Through a series of original interviews, archival research, and previously unpublished documents, author Robert J. Hoshowsky recreates in detail Emanuel's brutal death, the hunt for the boy's killers, the shocking trial and press coverage, the controversial Yonge Street clean-up, and what remains one of the most sensational True Crime cases in Canadian history.
