Gary’s pre-writing career focused primarily on IT management, a pursuit that chose him many years ago. He now lives outside of Ottawa but his books take place in Montreal, the city he grew up knowing and loving.

Gary writes mysteries that blur into crime thrillers and suspense, with one common thread: his protagonists operate in the moral grey zone, often clashing with a justice system as flawed as the criminals they pursue.

The Elliot & Rivka series follows private investigators Elliot Forsman and Rivka Goldstein. Elliot is relentless in his pursuit of justice, while Rivka, a former police officer, plays it by the book; most of the time.

The Orson Carver series introduces readers to ex-cop and ex-convict Orson Carver, and his sharp-tongued partner Beryl Adams. Carver takes cases the system ignores, trying to make things right while grappling with the wreckage of his past.
