Memoir of a Canadian Reporter

George Garrett traces his path from a Saskatchewan farm to a decades-long career in investigative journalism. Known for persistence and unconventional methods, he pursued stories that tested boundaries and revealed wrongdoing.

The book offers vivid reporting scenes and undercover tactics — from staged encounters to covert stings — and recalls high-profile coverage such as the Clifford Olson murders and dangerous assignments in Los Angeles.

Garrett pairs newsroom adventure with candid personal reflection: the loss of his son and his wife's diagnosis of Alzheimer's, which led him to support the Alzheimer Society. The result is a balance of craft, courage and compassion.
