About
Kaspoit! puts speculative illustration to the most profuse series of crimes ever to take place on Canadian soil. Set in the lower mainland of Vancouver, the time is now-criminals are brazen, cops are cynical-and no one is trying to solve the disappearance of dozens of women. Throughout, the novel conveys a savage, dystopian depiction of a netherworld teeming with gangland crime, sexual exploitation, betrayal and murder. The language is neologistic-jarring and vulgar-creating an atmosphere dense with blood chilling dread, hurtling the reader through sinister, malevolent scenes with a velocity rarely seen in contemporary fiction.

Finally, the conspir
