In his first true crime memoir, undercover
operator Norm Boucher recounts eight months spent infiltrating Vancouver’s
heroin scene, a world of paranoia, ripoffs, and violence. It is 1983 and the
War on Drugs is intensifying. From his barroom observer's seat, Boucher
candidly reveals the lives of heroin addicts who spend each day looking for
their next hit. Their dangerous subculture, centred around three gritty hotels
on the Granville Strip, becomes Boucher’s domain as he attempts both to gain
acceptance in a world far removed from his own and to keep himself
safe.
With Horseplay, decorated RCMP officer Norm Boucher takes readers back to the assignment that shaped his outlook on the role of criminal law enforcement and the human side of addiction as it collides with the ruthlessness of the drug business.
