Laukkanen is a native of Vancouver, British Columbia and was raised to Windsor, Ontario. The graduate graduated from University of British Columbia with the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in creative writing in the year 2006. After his graduation working for a job was not easy. He even applied as a driver at an escort company, believing it could be interesting material to write writing a novel. Then he saw an advertisement on Craigslist in search of a writer to write about World Series of Poker. World Series of Poker.
Laukkanen started work in The Professionals in October 2009. The 2008 financial crisis led to unemployment of 10% across The United States. This situation, along with a chance watching a TV show on kidnappers inspired him to create an idea for his novel. The story is about four students at a university who, due to their lack of job prospects, choose to pursue the career of kidnapping. They argue that the majority of kidnappings are not successful due to kidnappers being greedy, capturing wealthy individuals and demanding massive ransoms. What if they took tiny stakes, and kidnapped wealthy people and demanding only $50-100,000? The ransom could be easy to collect in non-marked currency while the stakes are low enough that no one would bother to investigate the issue further. “Far better to pull quick scores. Lower numbers, but higher volume. Snatch guys like Terry Harper, Martin Warner. Midlevel executives, hedge-fund managers, guys with enough money to make the job worthwhile, with families to pay the ransoms, but with no glamour to their names. No romance. Anonymous upper-class fellas who just wanted to see things returned to normal.” The team travels from city to city over two years, capturing people in exchange for small ransoms, but they never get found or even being caught.
After six Windermere and Stevens novels, Laukkanen ventured into new territory with Gale Force in 2018. Laukkanen comes from a sea-faring family – his grandfather, uncle and father all were fishermen – and Gale Force is a story about the marine salvage business. The book introduces a new heroine, McKenna Rhodes, skipper of a salvage tug called the Gale Force, and her efforts to rescue a capsized freighter in the northern Pacific near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.
