K. L. McCluskey

    Drawing from extensive firsthand experience, this author imbues her crime fiction with the gritty realism of law enforcement. Her 14-year career as a police officer, rising to Detective Constable and Sergeant, provided intimate knowledge of criminal investigations, including specialized training in sensitive areas. Transitioning from policing, she also owned a resort and taught before dedicating herself fully to writing. Her background in print journalism, spanning over four decades, informs her compelling narrative style and sharp observational skills.
