I literally have about three or four hundred pages of rough notes of emails and text messages

and occurrences of tyrannical behavior, core leadership, racism, misogyny,

black racism amongst the senior ranks that I could write about.

And he just said, oh, you might want to take the

high road on that. And that's exactly where the name of the book came from, because I said to him,

I know how to do that. I've been doing that for 34 years, right? I never took the easy way out.

I'm Steve Murphy, DEA Special Agent Retired and now host of the Game of Crimes podcast. If you've

seen the Netflix series Narcos, then you know my story.

I now bring you stories of heroism and bravery from our law enforcement and military heroes

and occasionally from the criminals that they faced. Welcome to Game of Crimes.

Music The Game of Crimes. Hey, gang, welcome back to part two of this week's episode, episode.

This is going to be a good day.

I can't even speak yet.

This week's episode, A Game of Crows with Murph in the morning. I guess this week is Hank Hink Itzinga, a retired 34-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service. He spent 19 of those years working homicide. In the last five years, he actually was the inspector in charge of the entire

homicide unit for the Toronto National or Toronto Police Service. I try to tend to throw in

some Americanisms in there, sorry about that. He is also, he's also the author of a book that

just came out. We're recording this on May 1st and 2nd. His book just came

out a few days ago. It's called The High Road Confessions of a Homicide Cop. And it's just,

it's already made the number one bestseller list. We're going to talk heavily about that later

in the interview today because it's created somewhat of a stir.

The man has standards and he lived up to his standards.

And in my book, it doesn't get any better than that.
