Owen Laukkanen is a Canadian-American author who writes both adult crime fiction and young adult novels. His Stevens and Windermere series, starting with The Professionals (2012), established him as a strong voice in the thriller genre, with six books following an FBI agent and a BCA investigator through increasingly complex cases.
The Neah Bay series (Deception Cove, 2019; Lone Jack Trail, 2020) shifts to the Pacific Northwest coast, while Gale Force (2018) is a standalone set in the world of maritime salvage. Laukkanen has also written extensively for young adult readers, contributing to the Underlined Paperbacks line and publishing YA novels. His writing is consistent in its tight pacing regardless of the target audience.
