Aprašymas

In one volume, three edgy novels set in "If you like your crime hard and fast, Kalteis is for you." (The Globe and Mail, Toronto).

This collection features three of Dietrich Kalteis's action-packed and darkly humorous crime novels, all set in the Canadian city of Ride the Lightning, Triggerfish, and The Deadbeat Club.

Ride the Lightning
Dope dealer Miro seizes an opportunity to settle a score with a bounty hunter 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.

Triggerfish
In this "high-octane tale [that] will suit hardcore crime fans," Rene Beckman, a dishonored ex-cop, has only two things on his his new boat, the Triggerfish, and his hot date, an environmentalist named Vicki (Publishers Weekly). When the two unknowingly dock the boat in the same secluded cove as a Mexican cartel's submarine, the date ends with a bang.

The Deadbeat Club
In this "fast-paced thrill ride," Grey Stevens has taken over the family business from his late uncle, and now he grows the best pot in Whistler (Publishers Weekly). Everybody wants to get their hands on it, including the two rival gangs coming to town. When Grey rescues a girl from a beating at the hands of one of the gang members, he finds himself in the middle of a turf war and a new relationship at the same time.

"Kalteis will be deservedly compared to Elmore Leonard, but he is an original voice." --John McFetridge, author of the Toronto Series
