The Globe and Mail
The award-winning Inspector Green series is set in Canada's Capital, a city of rich cultural and geographical diversity, and features the impetuous, exasperating Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green, whose passion for justice and love of the hunt often conflict with family, friends and police protocol.
Do or Die introduced Inspector Green in 2000, a forty-something working-class man with a young family, a busy wife, a fractious daughter from his first marriage, and an elderly widowed father who survived the Holocaust. There are currently ten novels in the series, which has garnered two Best Novel Awards, as well as two additional nominations, from Crime Writers of Canada. The tenth, None So Blind, released in 2014, turned Inspector Green's life upside down and forced him to face his past, as well as chart a new future. In The Devil to Pay, his search for new ways to stay involved lands him and his daughter in trouble.
All eleven Inspector Green novels are available in trade paperback and e-formats. All but the latest two are also available as audio books.
Although based in Ottawa, the cases frequently lead Green on investigative jaunts to other Canadian locales like Halifax, Montreal, and Gananoque. In the ninth novel, The Whisper of Legends, Green finds himself in Nahanni National Park in the Northwest Territories, on unfamiliar and terrifying turf.
