About the Author
Curtis D.P. Myers
Curtis D.P. Myers spent fourteen years reading case files before he ever wrote a chapter. That grounding shows on every page: the paperwork, the waiting, the small human tells that break a suspect long before evidence does.
His novels move through the Pacific Northwest — Portland’s bridges, coastal fog, forgotten county roads — following detectives who carry their unsolved cases home with them. Readers come for the twist and stay for the people it happens to.
He lives outside Portland with his wife, two dogs and a filing cabinet of cases that still keep him up at night.

What Readers Are Saying
“There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing”
