Allison Brennan is the New York Times bestselling author of two dozen thrillers and numerous short stories. Reviewers have called her books "terrifying," "fast-paced," "wonderfully complex," and RT Book Reviews calls Allison "a master of suspense - tops in the genre." As Lisa Gardner says, "Brennan knows how to deliver." She was a 2014 finalist for the Thriller Award; a one-time winner and six-time finalist of the Daphne du Maurier award; and nominated multiple times for best romantic suspense by Romance Writers of America.
 
Writing three books a year is more than a full-time job, and so is raising five kids, but Allison believes life is too short to be bored. When she's not writing, she's reading, playing video games, watching old movies or new television shows, and driving her kids to their sporting events. She also loves hands-on research, including SWAT role-playing, visiting the morgue, police ride-alongs, and touring the FBI Academy at Quantico.
 
Allison writes two series—the Lucy Kincaid thriller series (Best Laid Plans, 8.4.15) and the Max Revere investigative reporter series (Compulsion, 4.7.15.) Her most recent books include Notorious, Dead Heat, Cold Snap, and Mortal Sin. Allison makes her home near Sacramento, California. For more information, visit www.allisonbrennan.com.
