Reading: SAM WIEBE

“The best crime writer in Canada” – Charles Demers  

Terse dialogue reminiscent of Raymond Chandler, complex characters and a very real Vancouver characterize Wiebe’s writing. His first crime novel, the standalone Last of the Independents, won both the Kobo Emerging Writer and the Arthur Ellis Awards. He has been shortlisted for the Edgar, Hammett, Shamus, and City of Vancouver book prizes and was a former Vancouver Public Library Writer in Residence.

Dave Wakeland is the protagonist of the Wakeland detective series, “one of the most authentic and acclaimed detective series in Canada.” – Crime Writers of Canada  

Wiebe will be reading from Sunset and Jericho the fourth in his Wakeland series. 

“The Wakeland novels are an incredible combination of social commentary and just the best of the crime genre.” – Charles Demers
