From internationally acclaimed thriller writer Grant McKenzie comes a story that will shock and grip you from the first page until the very last.

Born in Scotland, living in Canada and writing fast-paced fiction, Grant likes to wear a kilt and toque with his six-guns. Often compared to Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay, Grant has three internationally published thrillers to his name - Switch, No Cry for Help, and K.A.R.M.A. - that have earned him an avalanche of positive reviews and loyal readership around the globe. He also has a secret identity as mystery writer M.C. Grant (Oops, there goes that secret) who pens the Dixie Flynn mysteries set in San Francisco. As a journalist, Grant has won numerous awards across Canada and the U.S., including one in 2012 from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia — the same organization that Dixie’s fictitious San Francisco NOW belongs to. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of Monday Magazine in Victoria, B.C.
