Again, journalist Michael Harris brilliantly recreates an involved Canadian crime story. I thought this book was a fantastic read that provided an objective, third-person point-of-view of the details of all of the ex-RCMP officer Patrick Kelly's alleged criminal affairs including the mysterious death of his wife, who fell from a downtown Toronto condo balcony. I was immediately glued to the book after opening up to the first page.

I have known the subject of this work, Patrick Kelly, on a professional, personal and private nature for a quarter of a century. I had the pleasure of working with him and found him to be a dedicated professional during that time. Since his departure from police work, through his trial, conviction and sentencing, I have remained his friend and confidant - always staying in touch with him and assisting him in any way possible. He is currently in the final stages of an appeal of his entire case by the Supreme Court of Ontario , Canada. I have read any/all types of transcripts, statements, police reports and personal profiles of this man. I believe in his innocence and remain his friend. Mr. Harris, by virtue of his professionalism, open mindedness and thorough examination of all the facts available has produced a concise, accurate and forthright compilation of the facts of the case and how it was handled at all levels. His candid manner of presentation, coupled with his intimate knowledge on all levels supplies readers with interesting, compelling and truly memorable material, allowing them in the final analysis to form their own opinions.
