Trial of Passion launched his first crime series, featuring the classically trained, self-doubting Arthur Beauchamp, QC, a series that continued with April Fool, Kill All the Judges, Snow Job, I'll See You in My Dreams, Sing a Worried Song, Whipped, and Stung. That book also won the 1998 Arthur Ellis Award for best Canadian crime novel, as did April Fool in 2003. In 1997 he won the Dashiell Hammett Prize for literary excellence in crime writing in North America for Trial of Passion. He is one of Canada's best-known novelists, whose first book, Needles, which drew on his experiences as a criminal lawyer, won the McClelland & Stewart $50,000 Seal Award.
