The Missing Millionaire recounts the 1919 disappearance of Ambrose Small, a Canadian theater tycoon who sold his empire for a fortune and then mysteriously vanished in Toronto.

Drawing on police reports, press coverage and interviews with descendants, Katie Daubs brings to life the social and cultural landscape of post–World War I Toronto.

• Theresa Small, the millionaire’s influential wife
• Jack Doughty, his personal secretary charged with theft and kidnapping
• A cast of sisters, detectives and city officials entangled in scandal

From sensational trials and hidden confessions to an explosive OPP report, this richly detailed narrative unearths ambition, betrayal and secrets that endured for over a century.

As each suspect emerges, alliances shift and the truth recedes further into the shadows. Daubs’s gripping account examines how wealth, power and civic pride shaped a mystery that still haunts Toronto’s history.
