Heywood Gould

Born in the Bronx and raised in Brooklyn, Heywood Gould got his start as a reporter for the NY Post when it was still known as a "pinko rag." Later he financed years of rejection with the usual colorful jobs-cabdriver, mortician's assistant, industrial floor waxer, bartender and screenwriter. He has written thirteen books and nine screenplays, among them "Boys From Brazil," "Fort Apache, The Bronx," "Cocktail" and "Rolling Thunder." His last novel, "Leading Lady," was a finalist for the 2008 Dashiell Hammett and Foreword Magazine awards for literary excellence in crime writing and a bronze medal winner for the Independent Book Publisher's Award. His new thriller "The Serial Killer's Daughter," has been called"...a high-caliber, redemptive road trip...quick-witted, stylish, and highly entertaining." -Seamus Scanlon for Library Journal
