John Lescroart

John Lescroart is a best-selling author of more than two dozen legal and crime novels. His recurring characters Dismas Hardy, Abe Glitsky and Wyatt Hunt are well known by fans across the globe. His work has been translated into 16 languages and sold in 75 countries. Lescroart’s first hardcover book, Son of Holmes, was written while he was a college student at UC Berkeley in 1970 but wasn’t published until 14 years later. Early in his career, Lescroart juggled his fiction writing with a career in the corporate world until a life-changing illness—he’d contracted spinal meningitis in 1989 and was given hours to live—convinced him to devote his life to writing fiction.
