Don Easton

Don Easton is one of the highly respected authors from Canada, who likes to write suspense, thriller, and mystery books. He is highly popular for writing the Jack Taggart Mysteries series. Author Easton was born on December 7, 1950, in Canada. Before turning himself into a writer, he used to work as an undercover Mountie. He worked for a period of 20 years in this profession. Easton says that all that time he was involved in treachery, lies, corruption, extreme violence, and deception. He was even involved in contracts on his wife. For a period of 7 years at that time, author Easton worked for an Intelligence Unit of RCMP. The vast experience from his profession made Easton realize that his world could not just be categorized in white and black. He often came across people who were considered bad turning out to have good qualities, while the ones who were presumed good showing up their sinister side at one point or the other. On many occasions, author Easton’s cover was blown by the people whom he was supposed to have faith. This made him unsure about whom he should trust and he should not. The experiences of being an undercover agent exposed author Easton to morality’s underbelly over justice. Very often, he had to make hard choices as he could not think of any other ways to work out the things. Easton had to reluctantly work with informants who were known to have been horrific criminals themselves. In spite of committing crimes like murder such informants were able to provide important information about people considered even worse than them.
