Hank Idsinga was a member of the Toronto Police Services for thirty years, leading the country’s top homicide unit for five years. Having served as Detective Sergeant and, later, Inspector in charge of Toronto’s Homicide Squad, he has policed just about every kind of case you can imagine, and has stared down some of the hardest criminals the city has ever seen. Idsinga has received numerous awards from the Ontario Homicide Investigator’s Association, and has twice been recognized by Toronto Life magazine as one of Toronto’s 50 Most Influential People. Additionally, he is a regular presenter at policing conferences, including the FBI National Academy Associates Conference and the Ontario Homicide Investigators Conference, among others. Recently retired and now a crime commentary fixture on the Corus radio network (nationally) and Global Television, as well as American crime series in production, Idsinga speaks widely about policing in the wake of a highly decorated career.
""Forget your favourite TV detective or Hollywood cop. Hank Idsinga is the real deal--a veteran homicide investigator who has smelled the blood at crime scenes, examined the corpses and hunted down the killers. From gangland slayings to other tragic murders, Idsinga grabs you for a gut-wrenching ride through the mean streets of murder. And he pulls no punches when it comes to exposing major issues with Canada's largest police force. A scary, searing look behind the badge."" -- JULIAN SHER, co-author of Hitman
