Brian Klingborg

Brian Klingborg studied Chinese folk religion at Harvard University before plunging into the publishing world, becoming a Sr. Vice President at an educational publisher. He’s penned books on Kung Fu and also wrote for the Winx Club animated TV series before recently turning his hand to crime fiction with his debut novel, Kill Devil Falls, from Midnight Ink.

The book follows U.S. Marshal Helen Morrissey, tasked with collecting a fugitive bank robber from a remote town in the Sierra Nevadas. She braces for a rough trip, but it turns out to be far worse than she imagined. After barely surviving a white-knuckle drive in what she suspects is a sabotaged car, she’s stuck in a virtual ghost town populated by a handful of oddballs and outcasts. But it’s not until her prisoner turns up dead that Helen realizes she’s in real trouble, and there are secrets buried below the surface of Kill Devil Falls—secrets worth killing for.
