C.J. (Chris) Fournier is a crime writer, copywriter, and reformed journalist. He’s the author of two novels in the Denny Durant Montréal Crime series—The Freelancer and The Pathfinder—which follow the escapades of journalist Denny Durant, crime fiction’s newest and most compelling protagonist. His writing has been compared to Ian Rankin, Michael Connelly, and John D. MacDonald.
