Apie šią el. knygą
“Kalteis will be deservedly compared to Elmore Leonard, but he is an original voice . . . A great story filled with wonderfully flawed characters” (John McFetridge, author of the Toronto Series).
Bounty hunter Karl Morgen went after Miro Knotts on a skipped bond, finding the dope dealer wrapped around an underage girl at a rave in Seattle. Dragging Miro in the hard way gets Karl’s license revoked—while Miro gets off with a suspended sentence.
So Karl finds some work as a process server in Vancouver, thinking it’s the kind of place where people settle things with middle fingers instead of guns. But the city is teeming with two-bit criminals, drug dealers, and gangsters, and Miro seizes an opportunity to settle his score with Karl while working a major drug deal. What follows is a ride through Vancouver’s underbelly, with a cast of characters whose ambition exceeds their criminal acumen, in a crackling novel marked by both gritty realism and a sharp comedic touch.
