What Happened to Mickey?

The Life and Death of Donald “Mickey” McDonald, Public Enemy No. 1

by Peter McSherry

978-1459707382

$24.99

Until the age of 31, Donald McDonald was only “dirty little Mickey from ‘The Corner,’” the notorious intersection of Toronto’s Jarvis and Dundas Streets in a neighbourhood known in the 1930s as “Gangland.” After Mickey was charged with the January 1939 murder of bookmaker Jimmy Windsor, he became a national crime figure. What followed were two murder trials, a liquor-truck hijacking, a sensational three-man escape in 1947 from Kingston Penitentiary, and a $50,000 bank robbery.
