Way to Go, John

Our own John McFetridge makes his move.


The Calgary Herald (Alberta)
Mike Harrison

Mystery writer Mike Harrison didn’t hesitate when asked for his three favourite reads of the year—which didn’t have to be published this year—even though he’s got more than a few titles on the go.

Dirty Sweet by John McFetridge

“It’s a street-nasty ride from start to finish. It’s about shady characters from realtors to bikers to cops and it’s a gritty take on the seedy underbelly of Toronto involving drugs and hookers and cars and clubs and everything in between. If you like Elmore Leonard‘s writing style you’ll absolutely love John McFetridge. He has a fast, damn-I-wish-I’d-written-that style that pulls you in from the top of page one. A truly awesome read—and this guy’s Canadian, picked as one of the top 10 Canadian writers to watch by Quill & Quire Magazine.”
