Lawrence Ricketts spent thirty years in the RCMP. For twenty-nine of those years he was an undercover operator attached to Drug and Major Crime Sections across Canada. Whether it was homicide suspects, drug dealers, criminal organizations or terrorist extremist groups, his job was to infiltrate, befriend, gather evidence and give testimony in court. Upon retiring, he worked for an international investigative firm in an undercover capacity. He also trained operators in surveillance techniques, evidence gathering, and court presentation. Following the publication of The Third Law in 2018, this is his second book. He lives with his wife between their homes in the Okanagan and Southern California.
