Author, Thriller/Mystery
Lisa Brackmann’s debut novel Rock Paper Tiger, set on the fringes of the Chinese art world, made several “Best of 2010” lists, including Amazon’s Top 100 books and Top 10 Mystery/Thrillers, and was a New York Times best seller. Her second novel, Getaway, a thriller that unfolds in Mexico, was chosen as an ALA Summer Reading Pick and was a finalist for SCIBA’s T. Jefferson Parker Award. Two more thrillers followed featuring her Rock Paper Tiger heroine, Ellie McEnroe, an Iraq War vet living in Beijing. Hour of the Rat was shortlisted for Left Coast Crime’s Calamari (international mystery) award and nominated for the Anthony Award for Best Audio Book. And Dragon Day was named a Seattle Times Best Mystery of 2015. Of her latest standalone, Go-Between, Publishers Weekly declares, “The edgy plot never lets up, touching on the war on drugs, for-profit prisons, and nefarious nonprofits.”
