Douglas Graham Purdy grew up in the Boston area. He has co-authored two crime novels with Thomas O’Malley, SERPENTS IN THE COLD & WE WERE KINGS (Mulholland Books, Little Brown, US & Mulholland Books UK, Le Masque & 10/18 France). Kirkus Reviews called SERPENTS a “bone-crunching, gut-wrenching novel that captures the atmosphere of a city in decay…it delivers noir fiction like we always want it to be.” His current novel is a comedic crime drama, SCUMBAG. He has also written a sitcom pilot set in academia (Institute), a horror series (The Transfer), and is currently working on a new urban fantasy novel currently titled, SAINT BILLY.
