The Mulligan Affair
Can$16.95
1895811-45-7
Ian Macdonald and Betty O'Keefe
The top cop in Vancouver, police chief Walter Mulligan, is on the take. From mid 1955 through to the spring of 1956, the Tupper Inquiry, which was investigating the activities of Mulligan and the Vancouver Police Department was front-page news.
"The Mulligan Affair" had everything to make headlines. It had death, graft, bootleggers, bookies, corruption, hookers, gambling, cops and politicians with memory loss and a veiled mystery lady. It also had the reporters, who were writing the headlines, and it had Jack Webster broadcasting nightly from CJOR. Read about Vancouver of the 1950's and the politics of the day, it is interesting and intriguing.
