The the Way of Transgressors

The miscreants and murderers who live in the underworld of 19th-century Toronto said that George Porter had a heart as black as a sweep s face. Over the years, he s recorded the faces of the guilty in pen and ink, sketching them as compulsively as he investigated their crimes. In September 2007, a backhoe uncovered a mass grave while excavating what had been the exercise yard of the old Toronto Don Jail. A total of fifteen bodies were discovered, the remains of inmates hanged on the prison s gallows between 1872 and 1930. Mysteries to be solved, lives to be imagined, crimes to be dissected.
