"If you like your crime hard and fast, Kalteis is for you." -- Globe and Mail "A man quickly becoming the heir-apparent to Elmore Leonard." -- Crime Syndicate Magazine Bounty hunter Karl Morgen was after Miro Knotts on a skipped bond when 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 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.
