"Until You Are Dead"

“Before there was Donald Marshall, David Milgaard, Guy Paul Morin, Gregory Parsons or Thomas Sophonow, there was Stephen Truscott. Julian Sher . . . has uncovered new evidence and written a compelling story detailing how Truscott’s 1959 murder trial was horribly flawed.” —The Vancouver Sun

“A chilling search for truth.” —The Hamilton Spectator

“Passionate, thorough and highly readable . . . a weighty indictment of our criminal system, and the terrible results when it goes wrong.” —The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo)

“Read this book. You will be jarred by the reality of our justice system. This excellent, in-depth compilation of Steven Truscott’s very disturbing case keeps you absorbed and in disbelief: Where is the justice?” —Guy Paul Morin

“Sher writes with a finely measured sense of disbelief. How could this happen? he asks through every page. And we share his amazement, notwithstanding David Milgaard, Donald Marshall, Guy Paul Morin and Thomas Sophonow, all convicted until proven innocent … Sher has written an important book. One that ought to serve as a warning to those who administer justice against arrogance. Nor should anyone be complacent on the issue, for every time a case is closed with the wrongly accused, a killer is left free to roam among us.” —The Montreal Gazette

“The CBC television producer who earned Truscott’s trust and helped make a national case of his continued claim of innocence, Montreal’s Julian Sher, presents another compelling indictment of our justice system.” —The Toronto Star

“There have been previous books on the trial of Steven Truscott, but ”Until You Are Dead” . . . is the most comprehensive analysis to date.” —The Globe and Mail
