Gary Phillips Marcus built his career as a lawyer and the visionary developer behind the Falls Creek hydroelectric power plant, recognized by the Oregon Governor's Energy Award for its groundbreaking environmental design. After decades as an entrepreneur, Gary sold the plant and turned to his lifelong dream: writing fiction that both informs and entertains. His debut novel, Killer, launches a series of intelligent, fast-paced thrillers that tackle urgent contemporary issues through sharp storytelling and rich insight. Gary and his wife divide their time between Eugene, Oregon, and Tucson, Arizona, where he draws inspiration from misty forests, desert skies, and the shadows in between.
