Autor

Norm is a first time author. During the day he stills works as a police officer and on his time off he is a part time author. He has spent nearly eight years on and off working on his novel. He has spent over forty years as a police officer with three different police services in the Province of Ontario. During his career he has spent more than fourteen years working in criminal investigations. He was a supervisor and a case manager in the Major Crime Unit and later the Homicide unit. Although this is a fictional murder mystery novel, Norm wanted to expose what it is like being involved with conducting homicide investigations and how it sometimes it affects the involved police officers. Norm believes that the greatest asset in a police organization is its people and that at times the public forget that police officers and civilians may be affected by these tragedies as well. Through the novel he wanted to highlight how these events could lead to substance issues and potentially Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Norm wanted to expose in his book the drive and determination that police officers have in solving crimes especially homicide investigations. Norm believes that one of the greatest honours a police officer could have is to be responsible for investigating the death of another human being.
