MURDER AT EGLINTON SQUARE. The Mounties & Toronto Police Solve A Violent, Baffling Case

Softcover. Three thugs rob a Brinks truck at the Bay store in Toronto's Eglinton Square. The leader of the trio is an ingenious American career criminal who has cut a swath of robberies across the United States and Canada raking in over $500,000. His partners are violent young Canadian toughs recruited from the B.C. Penitentiary. During the Toronto robbery, the 3 bandits murder an innocent bystander. The callous killing spurs the Metro Toronto police to set up a mammoth task force to apprehend the murderers, but after following hundreds of leads, they are unable to crack the case. Weeks later in B.C., an RCMP investigation into a completely unrelated matter leads the Mounties to a university professor's home in Scarborough, Ontario. The Toronto police raid the residence and discover the gun used in the Bay murder, implicating two of the killers who are living there. The third murderer is captured by a joint-forces operation that ranges from Montreal to Vancouver Island. Illus. 335pp. 8vo. softcover.
