Author

Desmond P Ryan

For almost thirty years, Desmond P. Ryan worked as a cop in the back alleys, poorly-lit laneways, and forgotten neighbourhoods in Toronto, the city where he grew up. Murder, mayhem, and sexual violations intended to demean, shame, and haunt the victims were all in a day's work.

And now, as a retired detective, he writes crime fiction. Desmond now resides in Cabbagetown, a neighbourhood in Toronto where he is currently working on The Mike O'Shea Series and Pint of Trouble, a more traditional mystery series, both published by Level Best Books.
