ABOUT KATE

Hooked from the moment she picked up Dean Koontz’ Intensity at nine years old, Kate Tristan is a lifelong thriller and crime fiction lover.

Is a book about a relentless serial killer appropriate for a third grader?

Debatable.

But with a mom who never policed her reading materials, a dad who brought her to the medical examiner’s office to watch autopsies on Take Your Daughter to Work Day, and top-notch research skills from her first career as a librarian, Kate’s evolution into a crime thriller author was all but inevitable.

Drawing on favorites like Kay Scarpetta, Rizzoli & Isles and Temperance Brennan, Kate writes riveting page-turners featuring villains that will put ice in your veins and clever, relentless detectives who will stop at nothing to see justice served.

Kate lives in Ohio with her husband, beagle and bunny, where you will often find her in the garden trying to solve the mystery of the nibbled tomatoes. She loves to hear from readers so please say hi on Facebook!
