ⓘ About Chris Laing
He lived in the so-called “Wartime Houses”, tiny concentration of prefab houses, plywood structures that were hastily put together. They allowed maximum amounts of cold in during the winter and the maximum amount of heat in during the summer. Chris lived in a neighborhood that was full of kids with dads that either worked in war-related jobs or served overseas. Chris fondly recalls these experiences, which taught him about life and how to survive from early on, and includes them in his writing. His collection of short stories, called “West Side Kid”, is an example of this. Working in downtown Hamilton in the fifties strongly influenced his “Max Dexter” series. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Max Dexter Mystery Books series, Chris Laing has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
