Sisters in Crime-Toronto Chapter

On April 15, we welcome author Howard Shrier who discusses his books and his writing in a program entitled "A Life in Mystery." Howard’s critically acclaimed first novel, Buffalo Jump, introducing Toronto investigator Jonah Geller, won the Crime Writers of Canada’s Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. The sequel, High Chicago, garnered rave reviews and both books have been optioned for TV.

Upcoming Meetings (Meetings page is temporarily unavailable)

May 20: Betsy Powell and Peter Small, two Toronto Star reporters who cover crime and courts, will talk about interesting cases they have covered, and how crime has changed in Toronto. Betsy has written a book about Scarborough's Galloway Boys gang titled Bad Seeds that will appear this August. Peter has extensively covered the Jane Creba slaying.

June 17: Back by popular demand, is Chris Mathers, who spoke to our group a few years ago. Chris is a former undercover agent for the RCMP, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the US Customs Service. The author of Crime School: Money Laundering, he is now a consultant on fraud, money laundering, terrorism and organized crime.

Sisters in Crime Toronto Chapter meets on the third Thursday of each month at the University of Toronto Faculty Club, 41 Willcocks St. Visitors are welcome at our monthly meetings for a $5 admission charge.

Don't forget,if you have a lonely book or two looking for a new home, bring 'em to the book swap table at our meetings. One hitch though, if nobody wants your orphans, back to your place they go...

You can also come and mingle over a drink or dinner in the downstairs pub before meetings, perhaps even hoist a glass afterwards with our speaker of the evening. Alas, while the chat is free, the drinks and food aren't. But the prices are very reasonable.
