Reviews

""Downfall is an exhilarating action-packed financial thriller."" -- ""Mystery Gazette"" ""No one writing thrillers captures the poisoned life of corporate America like Brian Lutterman in Downfall. I long for the return of Pen Wilkinson--hell, I wish I'd thought her up myself."" -- ""Frederick Huebner, Edgar-nominated author of Dominion""

Author Information

Brian Lutterman was born and raised on a farm in southwestern Minnesota. Brian was a trial lawyer in Chicago and Minneapolis, and then traveled widely as a corporate attorney in the travel industry. After leaving the practice of law, Brian realized that the part of the job he missed most was writing. That's when he turned to writing fiction, motivated by a longtime fondness for mysteries. His first novel, Bound to Die, won the National Mystery Contest sponsored by Salvo Press, which then published the book in 2002. In 2003, Bound to Die was nominated for a Minnesota Book Award. Jess Wright has been a book lover since she learned to read, a passion that turned into a lifelong obsession with Stephen King at age eleven. Her introduction to audiobooks came at twelve, when her father lost his eyesight to diabetes and began receiving ""Books on Tape"" from the Library for the Blind. Fascinated by that storytelling, Jess eventually pursued a career in narration. Working from her home studio in Nashville, TN, Jess narrates across many genres, including romance, literary fiction, thrillers, and YA.
