When Mark McGinn is not reading, thinking about book ideas and writing, he works as a business consultant, specialising in human resource services. He lives in Christchurch, NZ. with his family. When he's not writing crime novels, he's enjoying sport, and, with rock music in his ear, trying to minimise the excesses of red wine and chocolate on an exercycle that looks like a dark age instrument of torture. Now writing his fifth novel, he has previously written two Sasha Stace legal thrillers, and a mystery. A short story, Perfect Cover, has been published by Fairfax Media. 

During a lengthy career in the NZ court system, Mark had the privledge of seeing some of the finest lawyers and judges in action in many notable criminal jury trials. That experience and his subsequent background in psychological assessment has enriched and driven his crime writing.
