Iain Ryan grew up in the outer suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. His debut novel 'Four Days' is now available from Broken River Books. His work is previously published by Akashic Books (New York) and Crime Factory (Melbourne).
The best part about playing catchup is getting to read some very good examples of different sub-genres.

But the case is simple enough: hand-deliver a message, get out alive..
Read this one over the weekend. Review to come.
