';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 was after Miro Knotts on a skipped bondwhen he found the dope dealer wrapped around an underage girl at a rave in Seattle. Dragging Miro in the hard way gets Karl's license revokedwhile 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.
