And I’ve every one of his books autographed. Saw Hart again at the 2015 n convention for international mystery authors and fans, which was held that year in Raleigh, N.C. I still have the bookmark that says so, if only I could figure out how to scan it and post it here. The local library then threw mystery weekends the 2007 event tipped him as Rookie of the Year. Really lucky that way: was introduced to Hart’s work shortly after having moved to coastal Wilmington, North Carolina. I have read each of his novels as released, loved them, and reviewed them all on their Amazon web sites. His novels have been translated into thirty languages, can be read in more than seventy countries. He has won the Barry Award, the Southern Independent Bookseller’s Award for Fiction, the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award and the North Carolina Award for Literature.
Hart was born in Durham, North Carolina in 1965, to a young surgeon and French teacher who quit teaching to raise her children. A troubled young detective worries about the impact of brutal abuse on a young girl, confronts her own past in the aftermath of a brutal shooting. A boy with a gun waits for the man who the boy believes killed his mother. Meanwhile, after thirteen years in prison, a good cop wrongly found guilty walks free, while deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, a pretty young woman’s body cools in pale linen. This novel imagines a small, poor North Carolina town, nestled in the mountains, trying to deal with the fact that they have a serial killer in their midst. Each of his novels has taken him higher on the New York Times Bestseller list as his fine literary writing exciting plotting- lots of twists and turns- and evocative evocation of place have earned history's only consecutive Edgar Awards for Best Novel with DOWN RIVER and THE LAST CHILD. Since his debut bestseller, THE KING OF LIES, reviewers around the world have praised the work of Hart, who was born and raised in the western, mountainous frequently poorer part of the state. Each of his four books has been a New York Times bestseller. Over two million copies of his books are in print he is also the first and only author to win back-to-back Edgars for Best Novel.
