"Winslow's career as an investigator often took him to California to look into arson cases, as his storytelling skills helped explain cases to juries."
"In the late 1970s, Winslow returned to New York City, first working as manager of a chain of movie theaters, then as a private investigator in movie theaters and the back alleys of Times Square. He returned to school to earn a master's degree in Military History, led safaris in Kenya and hiking trips in China's Sichuan province."
