(1978- ) US film producer, journalist and author most of whose nonfiction work has focused on unsolved murders, a pattern entered into in his first novel, The Man from Primrose Lane (2012), whose protagonist's investigation into a long-ago murder implicates his own dead wife, and generates a disturbing climax in which a Near Future Dystopian America, and perhaps other worlds, are juxtaposed with the "normal" world: Alternate Worlds may be jostling here, or savage revelations as to the true nature of reality.
