Harrison's dialogue sings, his action moves fast, and his stories are surprisingly poignant.
Mike Harrison (Okotoks, Alberta)
Why you should read him: Harrison's private investigator protagonist, Eddie Dancer, brings to mind Robert B. Parker's Spenser in his prime. Harrison's dialogue sings, his action moves fast, and his stories are surprisingly poignant. Start with: All Shook Up (ECW Press, 2005), the first of three novels to date featuring Dancer walking the mean streets of Okotoks. Already Harrison's high-energy, tough-minded style is in full effect. (Harrison's newest novel, Ruby Tuesday, is reviewed on p. 38.) Fun fact: Though Harrison currently works as a real estate agent, he spent much of his professional life in advertising, and his bio lists motorcycling, hiking, cooking, and hypnosis among his hobbies.
