Giles blunt biography books series
•
Giles Blunt was born in Windsor, Ontario, and spent his teenage years in North Bay where he attended Scollard Hall. After studying at the University of Toronto, he moved to England to write his first (unpublished) novel. He spent twenty years in New York City, working variously as a bartender, a copy editor for BusinessWeek, and a screenwriter for Law and Order and other TV shows. When the success of Forty Words for Sorrow allowed him to write novels full-time, he moved back to Toronto, where he lives with his wife and two cats. He is the author of six crime novels set in the fictional northern city of Algonquin Bay, featuring John Cardinal and Lise Delorme. Cardinal, the TV series adapted from these books, has aired to large audiences in more than 100 countries. Blunt's other novels include Cold Eye (psychological suspense), No Such Creature (a picaresque "road novel"), Breaking Lorca (political thriller set in El Salvador and New York), and The Hesitation Cut (a tale of romantic obsession). These last two books signpost his turn away from crime fiction and into the literary arena. His next novel will be published in 2025.
