SENSATIONAL VANCOUVER: ILLUSTRATED TALK

Passionate about heritage and history, Eve Lazarus’s No. 1 book, Sensational Vancouver, is part detective story and part architectural digest. So, you go inside a Shaughnessy mansion that was once headquarters for the Ku Klux Klan, and peek behind curtains in buildings where bookies, brothels, bootleggers and murderers once thrived.
