edit data

Johan af Ström is a Montreal writer and award-winning advertising creative whose noir thriller Gloves Off was born from the darkest chapter of his life.

In 2017, he survived a violent murder attempt that left him in a wheelchair. While his attacker walked away practically free, he rebuilt his career, returned to running 365 days a year, earned a Cannes Lion and a Grand Clio Award, and fought for justice for over six years, including three in the Quebec Superior Court. His novel isn’t inspired by the justice system. It was written inside it.

He lives in Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal with his spouse and daughter.
