Former Toronto police officer Ted Wood wrote an excellent
series of cop novels about Reid Bennett, also a former
Toronto cop now serving as the police chief of Murphy's
Harbor, a resort community in rural Ontario.
In the third book in the series, LIVE BAIT, Bennett takes a
leave from his chief's job to undertake an investigation in
Toronto at the request of a private security agency. Having
saddled himself with a small-town procedural format, Wood
seemed to want to break out and write at least one big-city
PI novel.
