Author Owen Laukkanen discusses his writing style LIVE on Authors on the Air

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes popular author Own Luakkanen to the studio.  

Owen Laukkanen’s 2012 debut, The Professionals, earned rave reviews from critics and readers alike. The story of four recent university graduates who turn to kidnapping in a failing job market, The Professionals was hailed as, “a brutally beautiful piece of work” byNew York Times bestseller John Sandford, “a high-octane adrenaline and gunpowder-fueled rocket ride” by bestseller C.J. Box, and, “a first-class thriller by a terrific new voice” by John Lescroart. Mystery Scene Magazine called it one of the year’s best debuts, while Kirkus Reviews named it one of the top 100 novels of the year.  
Now, Laukkanen is back with Watcher in the Wall, "A GUT-WRENCHING TALE FILLED WITH EMPATHY FOR ALIENATED TEENS. THIS MAY BE THE BEST YET IN A FIRST-RATE SERIES."  —Kirkus Book REviews

A graduate of the University of British Columbia’s Creative Writing program, Laukkanen spent three years in the world of professional poker reporting before turning to fiction. He currently lives in Vancouver, where he’s hard at work on the third and fourth installments in the Stevens and Windermere series.http://owenlaukkanen.com/index.html
