The Missing Millionaire: The True Story of Ambrose Small and the City Obsessed with Finding Him
In The Missing Millionaire, Katie Daubs tells the story of the Small mystery, weaving together a gripping narrative with the social and cultural history of a city (Toronto) undergoing immense change. Daubs examines the characters who were connected to the case as the century carried on, but as the main players in the Small mystery died, they took their secrets to the grave, leaving Ambrose Small forever missing . . .
Drawing on extensive research, newly discovered archival material, and her own interviews with the descendants of key figures, Katie Daubs offers a rich portrait of life in an evolving city in the early twentieth century. Delving into a crime story about the power of the elite, she vividly recounts the page-turning tale of a cold case that is truly stranger than fiction.
