Bruce Burrows is the mystery author of The River Killers and The Fourth Betrayal. Having spent years working as a fisherman, commercial diver, and, most recently, at-sea-observer, he is a true man of the sea. During his time as a fisherman, he wrote a weekly column called ""Channel 78, Eh"" about fishing on the West Coast. His collected columns can be found in Blood on the Decks, Scales on the Rails. Bruce lives on a small island off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island.
"""Over all, the story was intriguing, insightful and chock full of great humour."" -North Island Gazette ""Lovers of succinct dialogue a la Elmore Leonard and witty writing like Raymond Chandler's will be impressed by Burrows' style."" -Western Mariner ""A story that's bound to intrigue anyone who has made a living from fishing ... The dialogue, filled with banter and smart-assed commentary, captures the rough-edged style of 1950s mystery novels."" -The Fisherman ""A very good first book. Danny [Swanson] seems destined to return, which makes Burrows a writer to watch."" -The Globe and Mail ""The River Killers is engaging and informative ... it's impossible not to be fascinated by the mess of fishing and fish stewardship."" -Times Colonist ""Conspiracy is alive and well in Burrows's winning debut. There is plenty of technical detail for readers who love adventures like Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm or David Masiel's 2182 kHz. Burrows's prose can be dense, but his ability to bring a mixed cast into the tale is stellar."" -The Library Journal"
