There is no wall separating the United States from Canada. A river marks the border between Detroit Michigan and Windsor Ontario. The bridge and tunnel that link the two cities make up the busiest international crossings in North America. Together, they once owned bragging rights as the automotive capital of the world. Both known as blue collar municipalities, Detroit and Windsor have more than the production of automobiles in common. Murder. The American metropolis once led the nation in killings per capita. Although a fraction of it's neighbor's size, Windsor has its share of homicides. Border City Chronicles is a collection of three Norm Strom crime fiction stories, all tales of murder. Bay Shay and Designated Hitters take place in Windsor neighborhoods. Knock-Out happens in the bowels of Detroit. Follow Norm Strom, his informants and fellow cops, while they slip into the underbellies of the motor cities to seek justice for their victims of homicide.

Autorenporträt
Edmond Gagnon grew up in Windsor Ontario, in Canada. He joined the Windsor Police Department in 1977, a month before his nineteenth birthday. After almost two years as a police cadet, Ed was promoted to Constable and he walked a beat in downtown Windsor. He spent the next thirteen years in uniform working the front lines. From there, he was transferred to plain clothes where he worked in narcotics, morality, property crimes, fraud, and arson. During his time as a Detective, Ed investigated everything from theft and burglary to arson and murder. He retired as a Detective with a total of thirty-one years and four months service. Within weeks of retirement Ed took to travelling the world, visiting countries in Southeast Asia and South America as well as riding his motorcycle all over Canada and the United States. He kept in touch with family and friends through email, sending them snippets and stories of his adventures. The recipients of his musings suggested he write a book about his travels and Ed complied by putting together a collection of short stories in his first book, A Casual Traveler. The book was well received. Having been bitten by the writing bug, Ed decided to share some of his police stories. He created the Norm Strom Crime Series, based on events and people he'd encountered during his years in law enforcement. In that series, Ed wrote and self-published Rat, Bloody Friday, Torch, Finding Hope, and Border City Chronicles. He joined fellow authors Christian Laforet and Ben Van Dongen in putting together a crime anthology, All These Crooked Streets. Edmond Gagnon continues to write, adding this book/series to his Norm Strom novels. He also wrote a science fiction thriller called, Four. Ed still travels frequently and resides in Windsor, with his wife, Cathryn. You can see all of Edmond Gagnon's books and more at: www.edmondgagnon.com
