The theme of the first five books, beginning with CORPSE IN HANDCUFFS, this book, was espionage in the Cold War years, but when that came to an end, he moved on to police procedurals. He is the author of the series of Chief Inspector Neil Paget mystery novels, including Stone Dead and Fatal Flaw, which was nominated for Best Crime Novel of the Year by the Canadian Crime Writers Association in 1996.
