On October 5, Greystone Books will host a panel discussion to launch former police detective Lori Shenher’s book, That Lonely Section of Hell. Shenher's book gives a searing personal account of the sexism, racism, and mishandling that pervaded Vancouver’s Missing and Murdered Women Investigation, which became the largest serial killer investigation in Canadian history.
The evening panel will include Shenher, Senator Larry Campbell, Vancouver Observer editor-in-chief Sandy Garossino, and other community stakeholders who will discuss the deeper causes of this tragedy and the myriad ways the system broke down. Most importantly, they will shine a light on how far we’ve come since we failed to stop a serial killer, and what we still need to do to protect vulnerable people in our communities.
