A Backstage Pass into the Dark Corners of Northern Ontario

The Novels and Short Story Collections

It’s 1985 in Northern Ontario, Canada, and the body of a man is found murdered. Was he the town’s saviour or its agent of doom? Detective Inspector Jack Butler intends to find out. Toronto elites, Russian mobsters, and powerful foes from within his own organization are determined to stop him. No cellphones, no DNA analysis, no computers. Just solid police work and interpersonal skills, both of which are in short supply. At least you can still smoke in public and enjoy a drink with your lunch.

POST MEDIA INTERVIEW OF AUTHOR: 5 QUESTIONS

GONE FOREVER. Two of the saddest, cruellest, most heart-wrenching words in the English lexicon. A family heirloom, your good name, a finger, the face of a cherished loved one, your humanity. But … what if you could add a question mark to those words: GONE FOREVER? Jack Butler’s weekend off was gone forever, but maybe he can do something about the other stuff. The third installment in the Detective Chief Inspector Jack Butler series is out and available on Amazon. A Canadian, writing about Canada, for Canadians: but, as is our way, all are welcome, provided they treat us with the respect we deserve, as we do them.
