I will be traveling through Toronto (from Detroit area) on the way to Muskoka soon and I am looking for some good bookstores in the region. I am interested in everything, but I really have a yen for good mystery and crime fiction. Any ideas?

Please recommend some true crime books. I've read through most of Ann Rule's stuff, In Cold Blood, Under the Banner of Heaven. What other writers would I like?
