It was nice to read in the Globe this weekend that The Bandido Massacre is still in the top 10 for Canadian true crime books. I’ll be sending one later today to a friend of Boxer Muscedere’s, who knew him when Boxer visited Italy shortly before his murder. I’ll be directing Boxer’s buddy to pay particular attention to page 352, in which one of the killers marvels at how Boxer went out of this world like a man.
A book that will soon be in the top 10 is Bad Seeds: The True Story of Toronto’s Galloway Boys Street Gang by my friend and Toronto Star colleague, Betsy Powell. I’ve already picked up a copy. Betsy’s smart, she can write and knows the justice system through and through: her dad Clay was Wayne Kellestine’s lawyer in the Bandido case.
