DIRTY SWEET by John McFetridge and EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE by
John McFetridge. On his website he has a short trailer for EKTIN and
a free e-book for download. http://johnmcfetridge.ca/
"A tough and gritty story populated by engagingly seedy characters."
— Booklist
"The writing is lean, the story moves quickly and McFetridge is
already one hell of a storyteller, and he’s a Canadian author to watch
for."
— Spinetingler Magazine
"If you love sex, violence and a slice of mystery for good measure,
DIRTY SWEET is the right book for you – an R-rated thriller. Enjoy
this quick money scheming page turner of a story that will make you
spin around as John McFetridge shows you the dark side of Toronto –
and I don’t mean the Toronto Maple Leafs! DIRTY SWEET is definitely
hot, dirty and sweet."
— Paul Anik, iloveamystery.com
Highly recommended. And you could always try dropping John a note -
he's writing for a new TV series called The Bridge these days (trailer
here: http://johnmcfetridge.blogspot.com/2009/04/bridge-trailer.html -
it's been picked up by CBS for this fall) but he knows Toronto and
lives there, and if there are good bookstores to check out, he'd be
the best person to ask.
