Owen Laukkanen's fast-paced, no frills style is brisk, blunt and fuelled entirely by adrenaline --New York Times Once more, Laukkanen scores one of the thrillers of the year. It will be difficult to top Kill Fee, but one more, I expect he will --National Post Enthralling... Kill Fee works well as an in-depth police procedural and an insightful look at amorality and greed. Laukkanen employs the same strengths of brisk plotting and incisive character studies that he established in his first two novels. --Huffington Post A breathtakingly fast-paced tale that seldom pauses for breath... it evokes the language of the street with superb panache --Praise for The Professionals, Daily Mail

A graduate of the University of British Columbia's Creative Writing program, Owen Laukkanen spent three years in the world of professional poker reporting before turning to fiction. He currently lives in Vancouver.
