ABOUT ME

I am a British forensic pathologist and author living and working in New York City. My writing career started in journalism, focusing on food and travel, with occasional forays into design, video games and pretty much whatever I find interesting. My work has appeared in the New York Times, New York Magazine, GQ, Premiere, Gourmet and Food & Wine, among others; I recently resigned my contributing editor position at Martha Stewart Living to focus on crime fiction.

I am a Senior Medical Examiner in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Manhattan, and a clinical assistant professor at New York University School of Medicine. I've lectured on forensics around the world, including for the New York Police Department, the National Institute of Justice and the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA.

I've recently started writing my third novel, an as-yet untitled forensic thriller set in Europe and Southeast Asia. My first, Precious Blood, is a well-received serial killer story set in New York City in the Post-9/11 era. The sequel, A Hard Death will be published by Random House UK/Arrow in November 2009, by HarperCollins in the USA and Droemer/Knaur in Germany in 2010.
