Armed with an invaluable degree in English literature, a long study of the world's cheapest hotels, the chronic maladies typically resulting from extreme sports, and an interesting career in Hollywood, George Prior writes about contemporary crime and the Los Angeles Police Department.

The author of the Casey Stafford Series and forthcoming standalones, Prior lives in Los Angeles with some very morally questionable family members. He enjoys reading and writing, espresso and Thai food, wing foiling and snowboarding--because, hey, without the literature, and family, and sports, and caffeine, what remains becomes as ephemeral and useless as a ghost.
