Superintendent "Scotty" Gardiner's captivating memoir reveals what truly goes on behind the scenes in criminal and civil investigations - from solving small-town break ins to busting multi-national drug operations, and making a controversial money-for-bodies deal with serial killer Clifford Olson. In The Mind Of A Mountie provides deep insight into the thought processes, self-discipline and integrity required to be an exemplary policeman. "There is no LUCK in investigation," Gardiner emphasizes. "Instead you must focus on PREPARATION, so you will recognize OPPORTUNITY." Gardiner joined the RCMP in 1951 and served in rural Manitoba, Winnipeg, Regina, Ottawa, Cape Breton, Edmonton and Victoria. With masterful storytelling, In The Mind Of A Mountie brings to life the role of a policeman in late 20th-century Canadian society. Woven throughout are life lessons that will help any individual, and lift any organization to better performance and credibility.
