Author Description

"In 1959, a popular schoolboy, just 14 years old, was convicted and sentenced to hang for the rape and murder of his 12-year-old classmate. That summer, Canada lost its innocence and the shocking story of Steven Truscott became imprinted on the nationʹs memory. Until You Are Dead reveals new witnesses, leads and evidence never presented to the courts. This national bestseller takes readers from that fateful night in 1959 up to the new appeal granted to Truscott in 2006. Julian Sherʹs award-winning and insightful chronicle details Steven Truscottʹs dramatic final battle--with the help of his family, investigative journalists and lawyers--to clear his name once and for all."--From publisher.
