The Emergency Press edition of this title (2013) was a Seattle Mystery Bookshop bestseller and called "a compelling, existential thrill ride" by Booklist. This Is What We Do is an insightfully written crime thriller exploring nihilism, revolutionaries, self-examination, hope and hopelessness. Tom Hansen is a favorite author in the Pacific Northwest, and the reissue of both American Junkie and now This is What We Do will break him out to larger audiences. Both the book and author have strong punk rock roots which can be leveraged for promotion and book tour.
