Glenn Burwell was a registered architect who practiced in Vancouver, British Columbia, for almost forty years. He's seen all sides of the local development industry and how it affects the lives of people living in the region. This is his fourth novel. Robert Lui was introduced in The Chapel of Retribution, defended his family against gangsters in A Sin Offering, and investigated government corruption in Greenside. Now retired, Burwell is working on more stories of detective Robert Lui, manages a small tomato and herb garden, and continues to keep an eye on the never-ending saga of housing problems in Vancouver.
