Patrick Whitehurst is the author of several works of fiction and nonfiction, including Monterey Noir and Murder and Mayhem in Tucson. Cutting his teeth as a news reporter on the crime beat, he uses that eye for detail to explore the intersection of dark history and gritty crime fiction.
When he isn’t chronicling the exploits of Sam the Thug or researching Arizona legends, Patrick can be found among the Saguaro in Tucson.
