The Whisky King: The Remarkable True Story of Canada’s Most Infamous Bootlegger and the Undercover Mountie on His Trail

  

In 2000 after 14 years as a journalist with the Globe and Mail, Trevor Cole decided to devote his time to writing novels. His first two books, Norman Bray, in the Performance of His Life and The Fearsome Particles, were both finalists for the Governor-General’s Literary Award and his third, Practical Jean, won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour. His first non-fiction book, The Whisky King, is the result of two years of research pouring over thousands of old newspapers, books and archival documents. It quickly hit the Canadian best-seller list.

The Whisky King tells the fascinating story of two Italian Canadians – Rocco Perri, the little Calabrian based in Hamilton who became Canada’s biggest bootlegger in the Prohibition era, and Frank Zaneth, the northern Italian who became Canada’s first undercover Mountie.

Different Drummer Books will be present with copies of The Whisky King and Trevor will be pleased to sign all purchases.
