guess who?

The following quote is from a recently published novel. Who is the
author?

"We might already be reveling in our seizure of a valuable ****p and
cargo, celebrating by absorbing costly essences and engaging in
brutally non-consensual *****c entertainments of a type I find deeply
gratifying but which are difficult to arrange on a commercial basis.
Why this delay?"

(Note: If you _know_ who wrote this, hold your peace, bitte. I'm
interested in who people _guess_ wrote this.)

Johan Larson
