The Billionaire Murders

Więcej o książce

A crack journalist delves into the shocking double murder of Barry and Honey Sherman, a billionaire couple found dead in their Toronto home in late 2017. Initially labeled a murder-suicide, the scene revealed the couple positioned side-by-side in their basement pool, raising questions about the circumstances of their deaths. The Shermans, with a net worth of approximately $4.6 billion, were prominent figures in business, philanthropy, and social circles, known for their substantial charitable contributions. However, Barry Sherman, founder of Apotex Inc., was a complex character—a hard-nosed strategist and workaholic who built a successful generic drug company while being both admired and feared. His aggressive business tactics included litigation against former employees and disputes over his mansion, which resulted in significant financial settlements. At the time of their deaths, Sherman was embroiled in a lawsuit against a former employee and faced accusations of corporate espionage. Additionally, he had recently resolved a long-standing family dispute over his fortune. Investigative journalist Kevin Donovan has been closely following the case, interviewing over seventy individuals to uncover new insights into the disturbing murders and the couple's intriguing lives.
