David Lalonde's book is set in 1985, before DNA and other modern technology came into play in criminal investigations
David Lalonde used to be a real-life detective with the OPP, and now that he’s retired, he’s putting his detective skills to a different use. He’s just published his first novel, Death of a Millionaire, about a crime investigation.
“I wanted to set the book in the time before DNA, before cellphones and before computers,” said Lalonde. “I wanted to take the emphasis off technology and put it back where it really still is, which is on interpersonal skills, and strong investigative skills.”“It's about a man who was murdered in town, and the events surrounding that murder,” Lalonde said.
He worked locally on cases including the high-profile 2013 murder of Sheri-Lynn McEwan. The Sudbury nurse’s murder remains unsolved a decade after her death.
