About this audiobook
Border City Chronicles – Four More is anthology of murder stories involving Norm Strom, taken from the personal files of retired Windsor Police Detective Edmond Gagnon.
Once called Tijuana of the North or Sin City because of a gritty image and numerous strip bars, Windsor Ontario sits in the shadow Detroit Michigan, kept at arm’s length by a one-mile-wide river.
Gone Fishing is about two friends fishing along the Detroit River, where they meet two other men. Friendly conversation over beers turns ugly and the elderly men are nearly beaten to death.
The Hadfields & McKays recounts a story of two west end families who turn an longstanding feud into a tale of cold-blooded murder.
Victimless Crime is a police procedural offering a look inside the world of fraudsters, scammers and those who prey on their victims by any means necessary to make easy money.
30 Years Cold is a story about the unearthed remains of a man who went missing thirty years earlier. As if time wasn’t enough of a hinderance, the victim’s father is a retired Deputy Chief.
Four More lets you get up close and personal with Windsor’s Finest and some of the brazen criminals they pursue each and every day.
About the author
Edmond Gagnon grew up in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He joined the Windsor Police Department in 1977, a month before his nineteenth birthday. After almost two years as a police cadet, Ed was promoted to Constable and walked a beat in downtown Windsor. He spent the next thirteen years in uniform, working the street.
From there, he transferred to plain clothes where he worked in narcotics, vice, property crimes, fraud, and arson. He was promoted to Sergeant, then Detective. During that time, Ed investigated everything from theft and burglary to arson and murder. He retired with a total of thirty-one years and four months of service.
Within weeks of retirement, Ed took to travelling the world, visiting countries in Southeast Asia and South America as well as riding his motorcycle all over Canada and the United States. He kept in touch with family and friends through email, sending them snippets and stories of his adventures.
The recipients of his musings suggested he write a book about his travels and Ed put together a collection of short stories in his first book, A Casual Traveler. Bitten by the writing bug, Ed decided to share some of his police stories.
He created the Norm Strom Crime Series, inspired by events and people he encountered during his years in law enforcement. In that series, Ed wrote and self-published Rat, Bloody Friday, Torch, Finding Hope, Border City Chronicles, and Trafficking Chen. He also started the Abigail Brown Crime Series with, Moon Mask.
Edmond Gagnon continues to write, adding The Millionaire Murders to his Abigail Brown Crime Series. Border City Chronicles – West Side Stories is already in the works. He also wrote a science fiction thriller called, Four. Ed still travels frequently and resides in Windsor, with his wife, Cathryn.
