Canadian journalists, one of whom (Auger) was shot in retaliation for his crime reporting, compile 300 illustrated entries on crime figures in their country. They trace colorful/nefarious personalities from 17th century pirates and the Sundance Kid who once hid out in Canada, to modern drug lords, ethnic mobsters, and imprisoned Hell's Angel leader Maurice "Mom" Boucher.
