Summary:
"In June 1966, Matthew Charles Lamb took his uncle's shotgun and wandered down Ford Blvd. At the end of the bloody night, two teenagers lay dead, with multiple others injured after an unprovoked shooting spree. In his investigation into Lamb's story, William Toffan pieces together the troubled childhood and the
history
of violence that culminated in the young man's dubious distinction as Canada's first known spree killer. Traveling from the border city streets, to the courtroom, to the Oak Ridge rehabilitation center, and finally the Rhodesian army, the book is both a narrative about a true crime and an analysis of the 1960s
criminal
justice
system."
