William Marsden is the co-author (with Julian Sher) of the international bestsellers Angels of Death (Knopf Canada, 2006) and The Road to Hell (Knopf Canada, 2004), which was a #1 national bestseller, won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Non-Fiction Crime Book and was a finalist for The Writers’ Trust of Canada’s Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing. The winner of two National Newspaper Awards and three Judith Jasmin Awards, he is the senior investigative reporter for The Gazette in Montreal. Marsden also co-authored The Water Barons and co-produced documentaries on the Hells Angels water privatization.
Julian Sher is a documentary writer and director and the author of five international best-selling books. He wrote and directed a New York Times-CBC TV investigation called “Nuclear Jihad” which won the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award, the broadcast equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize, in 2006. His books on crime and the justice system, including One Child at a Time (Random House, 2007), have been translated into four languages and sold in seven countries. His latest book, Caught in the Web: Inside the Police Hunt to Rescue Children from Online Predators (Avalon Publishing Group 2007), has been hailed by reviewers as “riveting” “eye-opening and “gripping.” His writings have appeared on the front page of the New York Times, the cover of Maclean’s magazine and the OpEd page of USA Today.
