Dan Jakel

Dan Jakel spent 30 years as a police officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His travels have been wide and varied throughout the years. They include several evenings exploring the tango venues of Buenos Aires with his wife Nathalie, and enjoying the culture of Seville and Madrid. These particular places have informed a number of scenes in the novel, in combination with hours of research ensconced in textbooks, journal articles, archives, videos and photographs. He resides in Ottawa. This is his first novel.
