About Me:
I wrote the bestsellers KILLER INSTINCT, COMPANY MAN, and PARANOIA, and POWER PLAY, as well as four earlier novels (THE MOSCOW CLUB, EXTRAORDINARY POWERS, THE ZERO HOUR, and HIGH CRIMES). VANISHED, published in 2009, launched a new series featuring "private spy" Nick Heller; the second Nick Heller novel, BURIED SECRETS, will be out in June 2011.

COMPANY MAN won Gumshoe and Barry Awards for best thriller, and HIGH CRIMES became a hit movie starrring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. KILLER INSTINCT was just nominated for a Thriller award from the International Thriller Writers Association.

I'm a founding member of the International Thriller Writers Association, and active in PEN/New England and the Association of Former Intelligence Officers. You can read more about me at www.josephfinder.com.

    Thanks, nice of you to say. And congratulations with J. Maslin liking Power Play. It's hard for me to understand writers who won't read reviews, other than the need to protect themselves and their creative work, of course. That I can understand. - Paranoia was the first book of yours that I worked with. I'm looking foreward to read the later ones!

    Sorry I missed you at CrimeBake.

    I do hope you get a chance to visit The Graveyard Shift. I think you'll find the information about police, forensics, and crime scene investigation fun and useful.

    Hi Joseph, I'm curious, has any of your books been optioned to be made into movies? I know about High Crimes. Killer Instinct and Power Play would definitely make great ones.
