An Impish Rogue tells the true story of a 1989 political scandal in British Columbia, where a government minister quietly redirected nearly $300,000 in public grant money to benefit his own friends. Written by the RCMP officer who led the original investigation, this book takes readers behind closed doors, into meetings, phone calls, and decisions that were never meant to be made public. It follows the case through police investigations, competing legal opinions, a private prosecution, and even a wiretapping scandal that brought down a second government official. More than a true crime story, An Impish Rogue raises hard questions about power, favouritism, and whether the justice system truly treats everyone the same.
