| | John Swan |
 | | A grieving former cop who took early retirement when his wife Liz took sick (she eventually succumbed to alcoholism), JOHN SWAN is a welcome blast of darkness in the squeaky white winter wonderland of Canadian crime fiction. |
 | | Swan's world seems to consist almost entirely of bars, race tracks, and seedy strip joints, and public washrooms which, for some reason, seem to be a favourite setting for murder. |
 | | Some speculate that John Swan is not his real name, despite the many stories published in Kairos, Blood and Aphorisms, The Unsilenced Voice, Canadian Storyteller Magazine, Rampike, Prophile, Front and Centre, Zygote, and the anthologies Your Baggage is in Buffalo, Between a Dock and a High Place and Burning Ambitions. |
