Garry Rodgers is a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police serious crimes detective and former investigator with the British Columbia Coroners Service, specializing in sudden and unexplained deaths. His law enforcement background informs his writing career, which focuses on crime thrillers and true crime narratives.
