Chris Lengquist

I write procedural crime fiction, often within real estate framing. My protagonist, Cal Brink, works through paper trails and misleading disclosures. Not a lot of guns. Can't think of one car chase. No alcohol soaked femme fatales.

I write lifelike slow-burn entanglements, drawing from my nine years as a private investigator and process server, and my twenty-five years in real estate.

Read something closer to the truth, because I know you didn't read your mortgage.
