Description

This is the true story of Kate Lines, a farm girl from Ennismore who became a top criminal profiler. Over the years she was involved in a number of high profile cases, such as the abduction and murder of Kristen French and of Tori Stafford. Always taking care not to aggrandize the criminals whose names we may know, Kate feels it's much more important to focus on the courage of victims and their families. Kate is an unsung Canadian hero with a unique, inspiring and fascinating story.

Reviews

Kate Lines, in the twenty-five years Ive known her, has been my role model and friend. Her courage, her leadership skills and her unwavering compassion for victims and their families are an inspiration. Im so glad shes told her story, enabling Canadians everywhere to get to know this extraordinary police officer.

Its always great when an 'important read is also completely engrossing. Crime Seen is such a book. Kate Lines was a ground breaker in the field of forensic profiling and her autobiography is a behind-the-scenes take on some of the more notorious crimes that have occurred in Canada.
