Autor/-in: Gerald Petievich

Gerald Petievich belongs to that tiny group of writers who came to crime fiction from careers in law enforcement. He has been an Army counterspy and a U. S. Secret Service agent, using his real life experiences to achieve verisimilitude in his fiction. His novels are known to come as close as any in the mystery- and-thriller genre to a genuine realism. Three of his novels (To Live and Die in L. A. , Money Men, The Sentinel) have been produced as major motion pictures.
